We’ve settled on the HP 27er for our needs in ZF and my new AZ station. There is typically 2-4 on the desk(s) at any given time.
Interference and SO2R were the two top reasons why this was chosen versus other’s. There are VESA options for it on AMZ.

My old Samsung T220HD monitor (about 11 or 12 years old) doesn't like 
me transmitting on the low bands. Especially on 80, but also when I'm 
on 160 or 40, it'll turn itself on and off with my keying. Sometimes, 
it'll shut itself off and won't turn on again without playing with it 
a bunch. But it doesn't generate any interference on any band, high 
or low, that I've heard. I've tried wrapping it in aluminum foil, 
chokes and MANY chokes on the power and video leads, etc., all to no 
avail. Time to replace it, I suppose.

Any recommendations?? I've just built a new shelf unit for my new 
radio, laying it out specifically to hold the Samsung which is 
roughly 20-1/2"W by 17-1/2"H (with the stand), before remembering 
just why I've not been using it. I've only been running barefoot; 
i.e., 100 watts output; the thing shuts off and on again with just 50 
watts on 80 and around 75 on 40. I'd dread to see what happens when I 
finally get an amp going here...

My HOA-limited setup has a sloping wire drooping from a pine tree in 
the back yard down to the middle of my window frame; thus, the 
antenna is just a few feet away from the monitor. I can't possibly 
relocate it, nor can I move the radio somewhere else.
