LG W2600H-PF Quiet enough that I would recommend it to anyone who values silent computing. Also very good monitor overall. Holy cow! Either I got an extremly bad one or maybe I'm just more sensative to the buzzing because my W2600HP was by far the most noisy monitor I've ever heard!!! Read my post ...

LG W2600H-PF Quiet enough that I would recommend it to anyone who values silent computing. Also very good monitor overall. It is not completely silent though; there is a very subtle humming that (interestingly) does not change significantly accross different brightness levels (I use it at 41%). Thi...

mrB, yes, I've tried this already. It does it's job pretty well, emm, actually perfect - as far as colors are concerned (they look natural). But, unfortunately, it also pushes brightness to 100%. (Why???) And, as the manual says, if you try to hand-tune any of the settings, like brightness (lower it...

Zaphod, regarding this phenomenon, did you go thru all the setup steps in the SmartControl Wizard that comes with the monitor? It seems to be a very thorough setup procedure. Even if you did, it can become disabled sometimes (see below): Yes, I did. I used the Windows program to calibrate monitor. ...

From Matija's posts I see he has some knowledge in the area of colors that we are discussing, so I think you should trust him. What he is saying is also what I found out when doing a quick small research on the Web. Using video and imaging editing software should be OK. I don't know if you could tru...

Yes, it is still silent. In fact, I think it got more silent or is it just my perception. Anyhow, it did not get any noisier at all, if that is what you meant to ask. I use it at around 50% +-7% brightness level (I adjust it often according to ambient conditions) and it is ok at this level. So, ever...

Philips 190P6ES - dead silent Philips 2240PW9ES - a small, hardly hearable buzz at brightness levels bellow 100% and above 50%. Perfectly tolerable, especially because there are other louder things in the room (computer - fairly silent though). Samsung 2443BW - if you value silent computers and per...

I forgot a few things about 240PWES: All other things are just amazing: the viewing angle is - well - unbeliveable - I did not think LCD monitors can have such a good view angle. And colors - so vivid I thought they were not accurate at first, because I had not been used to that. :-) Picture quality...

Hi, I've just purchased this monitor (Philips 240PW9ES). I can confirm it is silent enough. And you can trust me, I am quite sensitive to noise. :-) It is not completely silent, though, except maybe at 100% brightness (which seems to be the case with many, if not all, LCD monitors?). When I lower do...
