Monitors radiating on 144.750?

Hi

I'm sure this has been mentioned before - possibly on the G4KLB Sunday night show - but Ed G3VPF is reporting that his flat screen monitor radiates bang on 144.750.

Does anyone have a cure or if not can recommend a small screen that does not radiate?

My LG E2242 does exactly the same.
Refresh rate adjustments seem to have no effect.

I wound about 5 turns on a ferrite right at the power input (12v) which helps but not a lot, that is not easy if it is direct mains input!
My antennas are about 40m away from the shack so i can manage.

Best answer is to change monitor, or swap with someone not into ATV?!

My DELL 4K display seems OK.Its using displayport rather than HDMI which might have something to do with it.

We get noise on our 446.5mhz DVB-T here in VK, VK5ALX tracked it down to the HDMI leads
So we don't run HDMI near a pre-amp for example, good quality HDMI leads are better
Putting you pre-amp at the back of a TV with HDMI leads is asking for trouble we found
Is it a coincidence that it's three times the frequency you speak of or the same problem

The Satlink WS6906 also radiates on 144.750MHz, but being a self-contained unit, I don't think it would be easy to cure. Perhaps a metal box with a gauze covered aperture to view the screen?
