I went with a 50" 4K TV (LG from Costco ~US$300) mounted to the wall
behind the operating desk. If your computer can manage 4K video (or
even HD), LOADS of space to see (don't need my readers) and spread
things out and being a smart TV, it has other features for the shack but
I added a Dish Joey too.
I've been using full QRO, all bands, no issues in receiving, no
artifacts on the TV and it's cheaper than a monitor plus it has speakers
so the desk has less on it.
The new shack is still coming together, but it's looking better each
upgrade. (I'd send a pic but I don't think qth.net allows that, so I'll
update my QRZ page within a day or two.)

These
are great monitors. We use them in the hospital. RF pretty much immune. No
RFI generation and great for reading and Logging programs. Plus, They come
with 3 sets of cables. HDMI, VGA, Display port. I have 2 of these mounted
on this:

.
Then I took 2 band clamps to the pole and mounted this:

. It has 6 usb ports, 3 type 2 and 3 type 3. More than enough for an SO2R
set up. 2 for radios, 1 for controller, 2 for separate keyboards and 1 for
mouse. No Usb break out boxes. Clean Setup. The Lenovo is hospital approved
for high rf environments. It is totally a metal box and works great for
logging, web streaming/browsing and light gaming, Guild Wars, EQ, WoW. It
is my set up.
Best of luck in your choices.

I realize this subject has come up several times in the past; I've been
through the archives. However, computer equipment changes all the time. I
am in the market for a new "quiet" monitor for the station. Are there
monitors people would happily recommend? Conversely, are there
brands/models you would keep away from? Or even a type of monitor you would
not recommend for a shack?
