So 1 more correction, I hooked up the "monitor" to a small media player I have, since it's just an NTSC compatible display device. Works flawlessly. 

I can then narrow it down to two things. Either it needs a seriously shielded cable, which I will test tomorrow when it arrives -OR- that Dr Ken B power adapter uses some kind of floating ground (not from the wall) and there's a ground loop.

The odd thing is that my small media player does not seem to have a ground prong, so surely those run off different grounds. 

We shall see tomorrow.
