Purchase a portable SW receiver.  When looking at a TV, listen on the SW 
bands.

You will hear RFI if you are too close on almost any set, but the SW 
receiver gives you a relative indication of noise generated by any one 
model.

Don't forget that one TV of model X, may be very different from the next 
TV with the same model number.  Depending on production run changes, not 
all models are exactly the same...  Use that portable radio...

73, and thanks,
