| 516394 | 2007-01-16 05:38:00 | I have a 17" monitor (about 5years old) It has suddenly developed a highpitch noise (cross between a hiss/squeel/whistle ~ hard to describe) Almost a sound like tinitis! It stays at a constant pitch/volume. Sometimes it goes away for a while if I turn the monitor off. Its also still there when I turn the speakers off. I know its coming from the monitor, but the sound seems to be non-directional Would be interested if anyone knows what could be causing it |

| 516395 | 2007-01-16 05:58:00 | Its not uncommon. Even TV's & fluro lights gets these noises after a while. Most people cant hear it (as you age your ability to hear very high frequencies diminishes) I think its caused by one(or more) of the many coils. |

| 516397 | 2007-01-16 06:56:00 | my old crt can give out those high pitch noise if i turn my refresh too high i think refresh of 70 or 72 is high enough to avoid eye strain so if you set yours way higher.. you might want to lower it and see if your monitor still screams and.. the noise is non-directional because we have human ears and they simply can't tell directions of sound source when too high or low pitched |

| 516398 | 2007-01-16 08:32:00 | So far as I know that's OK....for another two years or so. When my CRT monitor started doing that, it blew after 2 years lol. And during those two years the monitor loved to 'talk' to us. It's probably irrelevant (the noise and the upcoming age) but I just felt I needed to tell someone. |

I thught you upgraded from your Packard Bell? I did, but I kept the monitor and speakers and gave my old Packard Bell computer box to my kids. You got a great memory! |

| 516400 | 2007-01-16 11:24:00 | Thanks for the info guys....... thinking maybe its time to get a decent LCD panel anyway, but not for a month or so | Baldy (26) | ||
| 516401 | 2007-01-17 02:30:00 | Yeah Ive had exact same issue from a 19" CRT I got from a friend cheap... bashing the monitor seemed to help for a while but then it got worse...and i get a headache from using monitors at 60hz so dropping the refresh wasnt an option...so onto Trademe it went :) Got a Samsung 793DF CRT to replace it and been happy with that since :D |

| 516402 | 2007-01-17 06:03:00 | Yeah, the best ideas these days is to get an LCD monitor. As far as I know, it has less radiation than CRT, and more power efficient. Cheapest one you can get is around $250 I think (17 inch). I got myself a Chimei CMV 17 inch LCD for $268 at ETCcomputers. |
