It could be a vibration coming through the monitor case and it's being amplified by the table top? <br /> <br /> Just a thought as I used to have an old digital alarm clock which hummed like heck unless it had a small piece of cloth underneath it to diffuse the noise. <img src="http://media.hardwareanalysis.com/smilies/smile6.gif" width="14" height="14" border="0" alt=":~" title=":~"><br /> <br /> Good luck. text/html 2008-10-12T23:33:19-05:00 Gerritt http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71322/#546492 Though I agree that low quality transformers/inverters can and do hum, I've not found that Samsung has been of low quality in the past. If they are now, this is a new development.<br /> My prefered vendor is Viewsonic and they've been known to use Samsung components in the past.<br /> text/html 2008-10-12T19:44:10-05:00 Nick R http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71322/#546481 It is common for bad or cheap LCD backlight power inverters to hum if the brightness is not at 100% text/html 2008-06-28T05:31:58-05:00 Lynoure Braakman http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71322/#539092 My Samsung SyncMaster 2493HM (huh, funny?) hums as well if I use mode any other than set with the software it came with. I am quite sound sensitive, so it would not surprise me if this sound was there in every unit and only a tiny fraction of users noticed it. text/html 2008-04-29T15:08:46-05:00 Phil http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71322/#534798 &lt;&lt;&lt;Senario in Manchester UK&gt;&gt;&gt;<br /> <br /> customer: 'Dude My screens buzzin'<br /> Clerk: 'Ah Cheers mate'<img src="http://media.hardwareanalysis.com/smilies/smile3.gif" width="14" height="14" border="0" alt=":D" title=":D"><br /> Customer ' No D*ckhead i ent reviewin it, its making a loud noise'<br /> <br /> Buzzing = great/top/excellent....<br /> <br /> <br /> lol excuse the randomness<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;&lt;&lt;Sensible response&gt;&gt;&gt;<br /> <br /> Possible Power supply, if not standard Kettle lead type<br /> <br /> Screen resolution or Refresh rate.<br /> <br /> Lose wire on inverter or screen<br /> <br /> <img src="http://media.hardwareanalysis.com/smilies/smile1.gif" width="14" height="14" border="0" alt=":)" title=":)"> text/html 2008-04-29T13:03:13-05:00 Mark Monaghan http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71322/#534794 I just got a Samsung 2253BW today and if i turn brightness under 65 i can hear a humm/whine aswell, ive just used my video card setttings to lower brightness, no hum/whine simple fix. text/html 2008-04-28T05:50:57-05:00 Gerritt http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71322/#534688 Micro,<br /> There is NO reason for a LCD to have any percievable noise what so ever, no matter what the resolution.<br /> I'm thinking that you need to try a different monitor all together.<br /> <br /> Someone mentioned that it may be associated with your power/AC. If so, it may be due to 50 vs 60 hz settings. If so, mayhap you need to get a different AC/DC module.<br /> If you are using a monitor that is properly working in your ACV as well as AC cycles, and it still makes noise, then you need to go with a different unit all together.<br /> <br /> Gerritt text/html 2008-04-27T19:16:28-05:00 Meats_Of_Evil http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71322/#534636 Try replacing it again? My KDS 22&quot; LCD monitor doesn't make noises. Did you try plugging it on a different outlet? Don't know if that will work but it doesn't hurt to try.<br /> <br /> Take it back again and if the sound keeps on then get your cash back. Although the Samsungs LCD's are the best looking monitors I've seen. text/html 2008-04-27T19:09:28-05:00 micro http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71322/#534635 So far 2 people have said to rma it. Is there some logic that i am missing? Since i bought it localy (as i said in the first post). And i am now on my second monitor.<br /> <br /> I am not being mean or sarcastic, i am wondering if i am seriously missing something by exchanging it rather then rma?<br /> <br /> <br /> I am now better ar describing the sound. It sounds like an emergency alert broadcast on the radio/tv. Only a lot quieter. If i dont have music on from my pc, i can constantly hear it. Even while gaming at times i can hear it. It isnt that it gets louder it just droanes on...<br /> <br /> I am considering just getting my $ back and getting a different monitor, but then i would have to order it online and wait and hope that i done have a dead pixel. The screen is very nice on this monitor with a 2ms G to G.1000:1/8000:1 dynamic contrast. But i dont know what other one to buy for $300 that would be equivelent. This moniitor was only $259. text/html 2008-04-27T04:00:36-05:00 Shadow_Ops_Airman1 http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71322/#534597 RMA it, if you can hear the noise very distinctly text/html 2008-04-27T02:44:52-05:00 McFly http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71322/#534595 Yikes. I've had some CRT's that made quite the buzz, but never an LCD. <img src="http://media.hardwareanalysis.com/smilies/smile10.gif" width="14" height="14" border="0" alt=":X" title=":X"> text/html 2008-04-27T02:42:04-05:00 micro http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71322/#534594 Well, i took the monitor back and got a replacement.The new one has the same hum.. or whurr or whatever it is. I think it must just be that i can hear it as i havent seen another person complain about it. <img src="http://media.hardwareanalysis.com/smilies/smile2.gif" width="14" height="14" border="0" alt=":(" title=":("> text/html 2008-04-20T02:21:02-05:00 Gerritt http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71322/#534014 Take it back. Unless it has speakers and you hooked them up, in which case you may have bad speaker cables.<br /> A monitor at any refresh rate should not be heard. If it is, there is a power component that is marginal at best, and on the verge of failing at worst.<br /> <br /> Gerritt text/html 2008-04-19T21:23:00-05:00 Kieran Blenkarne http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71322/#533997 I agree, take it back, try another one. text/html 2008-04-19T20:21:36-05:00 Mothow http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71322/#533993 Thats one of samsungs new LCDs.They look nice but i havent heard much about them.I think id rma mine if it buzzed loud enough for me to here .
