I was using a 32" HDTV as a monitor. I just recently aquired a 27" Auria IPS panel and for some reason this monitor is now tripping the GFI outlet that I've got my whole computer rig plugged into. Why is my computer rig plugged into a GFI outlet you ask? Cause it's the closest one and also serves my sump pump so while I could switch outlets - it won't be convienient. Any idea why this monitor would be tripping the GFI outlet --- while my computer and old 32" Toshiba 32" HDTV did not.
 
my old samsung laser printer used to always trip the circuit as well. But my newer brother all in one laser printer doesn't trip the GFI...
 
oddly enough - I swapped the cable out from a DVI (PC side) to HDMI (monitor side) cable to just the dual link DVI to DVI cable that came with the monitor and the GFI breaker stopped tripping at power on.
