Default Baby Monitor

Anyone have any good recommendations? I'm trying out the Safety1st color monitor now but there's a lot of static and popping in the audio signal - I'm assuming it's due to the number of wireless networks around my home (I can pick up 9 not including mine). Will going to a 900MHZ unit be better?

I have had the simple fisher price unit which comes with 2 recivers...no problems for 2.5 years or so...

http://www.fisher-price.com/fp.aspx?...470&selcat=bgm

My computer picks up 6 networks... but they are at 2.4 Ghz

Thanks...I'll check that one out. It looks like the non-2.4GHZ monitors are the way to go if you're surround by wireless networks and digital cordless phones.

Two kids in the last 3 years, 3 or 4 different monitors...Sony was the best.

We have a Phillips, but it's no longer made. Great range, easy to use, long battery life, and TOUGH! I've dropped it dozens of times.

Only problem is the belt clip on the parent monitor. It doesn't fit on any belts I own, and thus it fall off all the time. It needs to be more like a cell phone clip.

I'm in the market for a new one as well, now with the little princess here. I'm contemplating a video monitor for Jr and using the Phillips for Princess.

Anybody use a video monitor?

We used a video monitor and it was the greatest thing since canned beer. Ours was made by RF-Link, and I don't think it's on the market any more - my parents bought it from Sharper Image, and it doesn't appear on their website now.
