[CQ-Contest] Ideal monitor size

[Jim Brown]

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.
