    Hello, I have LG FLATRON W2242T LCD Widescreen 22" monitor.

    I'm having some issues with it, and I woud like to know if it's normal or not.
    First of all :

    1. I have installed latest drivers for my monitor, and it's working on it's native resolution 1680 x 1050. Refresh rate is 60herz (maximum).

    2. I have Radeon HD4870 with latest drivers.



    Ok, the problem :

    When monitor is off or is in standby mode (black screen/screensaver) for more then 20 minutes ( like during the night when I dont use it, or when I just dont use it for like hour or so and let it go to screensaver / black mode) - and when I then switch it ON or just move my mouse and get to Windows, I hear little whistleing ( It's not so loud , but I can hear it) for about 6-7 minutes (prox. 8 minutes) then it stops. Like it only does that when it changes from black to my Windows( other colors).

    Another sound that I hear is much louder, but it happens when I get my brightness (of monitor) to less then 100 . But I heard that is problem of many monitors, so I'm just checking.


    Main issue is that little whistleing for 6-7 minutes when I turn my monitor on.


    So if someone woud be kind and say me if that's normal thing (It dosent bother me TOO much, i have warranty for 3 years anyway.). But I woud like to know. Main reason is that if that's not "so normal" maybe I shoud contact store where I did buy LCD and try to replace it (warranty is for 3 years).



    Thank you very much!

    I have never heard of this before my lcd makes no sound at all but I dont think they will fix you up with a new lcd if it is still working fine

    That's weird lol. But hey, the simple solution to that is to just push the button to turn it off :D
