Hello,

OK. I am at my wits end. I just received my 3rd replacement monitor for an LG Flatron 22" LCD (model #: W2252TQ) because of it buzzing. The only time the buzzing completely stops is if the brightness is set to 100%, and that is completely unacceptable to me. Maybe I am just being over-reactive, but I don't think a monitor should be making any noises, even just a little bit. It is not horrible, but it is like a splinter that is just annoying. When I turn the monitor completely off, I notice that it just gets quieter in the room.

I have my external monitor connected to my MacBook Pro via a DVI-D cable (I am not using the DVI/VGA adapter).

Do all external monitors make a little bit of noise? Am I being paranoid? If you put your ear to your monitor, do you hear anything or is it quiet?

Could the video card in the MacBook Pro be causing the problems with my external monitor? Is that even possible? Could it be that my MacBook Pro cannot handle external monitors very well?

Anyway, I was hoping the people on this forum could recommend a quality LCD monitor, at least 22", maybe up to 24"-25", that you have used to connect directly to a MacBook Pro. One that is quiet and doesn't make any noise?

Thanks.

P.S. There isn't anyway LG is going to give me any of my money back, is there? They would just keep sending me replacement monitors until my warranty expires, right?

P.P.S. I have Apple Care for my MacBook Pro for another 2 years. If I bought an Apple Display (if that was recommended by any of you), would my current Apple Care cover it?
