Hello all, I've buyed a w2408h monitor. I've noticed some weird sounds which the 2207 don't make (my previous monitor): when I press the poweroff button, I hear a sort of "bzzz", plus sometimes a sort of "tick tick", like the one made from the bubble of a coca cola...isn't strange?
 
Surely there must be some w2408 owners around which can tell you, if it is normal. I bet it is not :)
 
I saw one at Costco today. It was not available by itself for purchase, but only with a computer (total cost $900 or so).

I did not hear any weird noises.

 
I too would like to know if all w2408h are noisy or if it's sample variance. It's the only thing keeping me from buying this monitor.


From Prad's review:

The HP Pavilion w2408h is not silent, whether in use or when switched off. A humming noise can be heard 10-15 cm from the monitor at the back near the ventilation slots.

When the brightness is at its maximum setting, the humming almost stops, but it can be heard even ay 99 percent. Although the sound does not get louder as the brightness is reduced, its characteristics change – it then sounds like fat sizzling in a pan.

The little mofo is noisy even when switched off! Seriously... wtf.
