Yeah - I saw some LCD TVs in the store during my big search that had 3-pin plugs - too bad none of those models seemed to be "The One" for me.
Do you think your appliances with 3-pin plugs are less bothersome than they would be if they used 2-pin plugs? Does grounding a device make a difference as far as symptoms?
The "TCO" organization, I think - will only certify products that have 3-pin power cords. According to an email response I once received from them, connecting an appliance to "ground" can reduce its electrical field substantially.
