I've standardized on 23-24-in monitors for two reasons. 1) They fit in
the available space -- I have one on each P3 and another as expansion
for the shack laptop. 2) They run on the 12V system that powers the
radio gear, so I can throw away their noisy SMPS wall warts. Larger
monitors run from higher voltage supplies, making them harder to replace
with linear supplies that don't make RF noise. AND -- even those
monitors that run on 12V are getting harder to find. BTW -- they are
made by Samsung and the power connector is labeled 14VDC.
