anyone worried about the wireless radiation from this monitor? Anyone have any insight?

If you are worried about this sort of thing, you had better stop using your microwave, unplug your wifi router (oh yeah, and all of your neighbors' wifi routers, too), stop using your cell phone, and don't ever expose yourself to sunlight! Seriously, though this article that you cite (and yet don't link to it) is probably in a popular magazine and has not been peer-reviewed by members of the scientific community. Don't believe everything that you read!

We haven't noticed any problems. Although at night when I have the monitor and my cell phone charging right next to each other I do notice some interference issues on the monitor (gets choppy) which is solved by moving them apart a little

Cannot help you, if still under return timeframe, return it. I have two units, one used for three years, one still new in box, even un-opened--was going to sell it so did not want to open the box, but decided to keep it since now discontinued. Your post reminds me--I should take it out of the box and check it. Question--are you sure it is the monitor and not your video card in the computer, or interference from some other device? Check online for like symptoms. Love this monitor. If you can find a fix, and otherwise in good condition, worth fixing yourself.

I set mine up in about 3 hours and have not experienced any problems. Running Windows 7 with heavy business programs and graphics, and no issues. I do use a wireless mouse.

Totally abnormal; virtually unheard of in a monitor. I would contact the manufacturer, as it surely must be returned/replaced under warranty.

I would write amazon directly and they are good about working things out. I have used my monitor for many months and have no complaints. Could be the item itself is faulty. Also try notifying the company who made it.

I didnt have a washed out screen. My IdeaPad was great except for the week wireless antenna.

Over the past several years I find that the antenna is not the problem, but the repeater or usb adapter that has a poor signal. I am sending signals over 1/2 mile in a mobile home court (we have a lot of signal reflection/bounce) without too many problems. We are using a ASUS rt-n66u and Hawling HW3R1 repeaters or an usb adapter made by Sabrent or alpha. We have a response by the user of 3 - 5 seconds

Shouldn't have any problem with the monitor and it comes preinstalled with window 7 not the annoying windows 8. Hope this helps!

my screen seems to have a glossy finish to it in the off position. Sometimes I might not get the clearest picture due to the equipment by my service provider. I have noticed the picture would get choppy from time to time due to the signal.

So far it isn't looking good. The wifi is not removable and the eSata is not, as Kaerlo Michael Dulay said, PM ready. I am now also researching external port multiplier solutions - eSata, to external multiplier to external enclosure. Kind of a kludge though. I will post back when (if) I get anything new.

I've had this monitor for a few months now, and although I do play more resource intensive games with it, I've had no problems. If you are using a DVI-D to HDMI converter, you might be overloading the monitor itself and it might burn out. Try using just a DVI-D cable to connect the monitor and computer.

I have not had a problem. However, I do not leave my computer and monitor running 24/7. But I do use it for extended periods of time without an incident.Thanks,B

Yes. I had it with my first one. Sent it back and they sent me a new one. New one started doing it again after 3 weeks. It's something to do with the connection. not sure about the quality of shielding used in the cables. If I move the cables around in the back of the monitor it will sometimes go away for a day or so, but always comes back. Annoying as hell. The only issue I've had with it so far.

There are too many factors for anyone to give you a good answer regarding a possible increased range. For example; Is there a device nearby that may be degrading wireless signals in general? Poor electrical connections, a fridge capacitor failing, etc all can create problems.

Thank you for the response! Absolutely correct, feed it a wireless signal and you are good to go!

I have had similar issues and thought it might have ben the monitor itself... the problem is that the HDMI cable was moving ever so slightly as we manipulated our rig and the weight of the HDMI cable itself helped it to wiggle out just a little bit and lose connection. Nothing a little gaffer tape couldn't fix. After figuring out what was going on we have yet to see it lose signal again.Hope This helps!
