    Jeez -- Do all monitors buzz?

    I disagree. I've gone through 3 Apple 23" displays and they all buzz below 100% brightness, as do ALL ACDs of any size at by university. My 2 old LG246wp also buzzed in sRGB mode, as does my friend's Samsung 226bw, though quietly. The Apple displays hum rather than buzz, and it annoys the crap...

    Need 22" - 24" suggestions please - about to scream! LOL.

    no offense, but the screens in your house must be pretty ghastly. And yes, I've used that monitor extensively. And thankfully never again. It's a case if when you've tried better, you can never go back.

    New LG W2600HP 26" S-IPS

    I was at Best Buy today, and they had this new LG panel. It's listed as a 25.5" panel in store, model number W2600H-PF. It's DEFINITELY a TN (i.e. unviewable from the sides or underneath). Sorry guys, no cheap IPS panel.

    Which 22' to 24' monitor is best for me?

    I personally can't recommend the Apple 23" enough. IPS panel, stunning design, quieter (backlight buzz) than any other display I've used, and a phenomenal picture. And I've had a ton of displays...

    LG L246W

    Silly light? You know you can turn off the power LED in the menu? No more light!

    Dell 2408 WFP Review

    I used quite a few. At this point, the last displays I had used were the LG 246P 24" and the Apple 23". I have yet to own a panel as stunning as the Apple. The input lag on the Dell was worse than any panel I have owned in recent memory.

    Dell 2408 WFP Review

    Excellent review, though two points: 1.) The screen does make a noise, though whether you hear it is quite subjective. 2.) My wife and I found the input lag unbearable. Again, subjective, but the mouse input lag is of epic proportions.

    Planar PX2611W 26"

    Well I'm glad SOMEONE can admit hearing it. As you said, though, it needs to be a pretty darn quiet room to hear it. It's a shame that my room is like that 90% of the time (the 10% being when my air heating starts running). I went back to my Apple display, because I just find it a better-looking...

    Planar PX2611W 26"

    This is something I definitely found when I had the Planar (haha, this morning!). I just returned it because of the buzzing sound, and have gone back to the Apple 23", and I definitely prefer the size. I don't need to move my head all around the display with my 23" as I did with the 26". Amazing...

    Planar PX2611W 26"

    A UPS with power regulating. I also took my display to a friend's house - same problem. I also tested the Apple displays at my university and the 30" and 23"s both had the same issue. It's NOT my power supply. You guys just don't hear it because of ambient noise - either your computer, A/C etc...

    Planar PX2611W 26"

    Only a "very" slightly different disease. :) I guess the only LCD I'd be happy with is an LED-lit one.

    Planar PX2611W 26"

    I consider my MacBook Pro a fairly quiet laptop (though not silent). With it on, though, I still hear the buzzing/humming from the Apple 23" or Planar 26" quite easily. My put-your-ear-to-it point is that the sound is there, whether you hear it at normal viewing distance or not. FYI, I sit...

    Planar PX2611W 26"

    Haha. What I can't fathom is how nobody else has picked up on this sound. If you can't hear it easily, just put your ear to the top of the display. "Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"

    New LG W2600HP 26" S-IPS

    That Best Buy one may not be IPS. Looks like it's taking the place of their LG246WP model that was recently discontinued. Also, the original post's screen has HDMI, whereas this one has DVI. I'd be surprised (pleasantly) if this Best Buy model is IPS.

    New LG W2600HP 26" S-IPS

    No Best Buys have this in stock, as far as I know... Definitely curious about it, though...
