Hey i just bought a Westinghouse L2410nm 24inch lcd moniotr. i noticed it ran really hot. It even heated up my room. My room is hot due to no Ac. Anyways even on the 1st day the monitor was pretty quite, but then outta no where for about 10-15mins is started to buzz pretty loud.. then it continued to buzz at least 2 times a day for the next serveral days until i finall did a rma. Anyways my question is do you think the 80-90degrees farenhiet temps in my room can be the cause of this buzzing? what is everyones experience with this westinghouse L2410nm monitor.

westinghouse L2410nm specs:
Mva panel (not a cheap Tn panel like most monitors)
1920 x 1200 res
tons of inputs
450 brightness
24inch

any input about anything is appreciated

According to some reviews on newegg that buzzing can happen when you set the brightness under 100%(Don't ask me why, that's just something reviewers have noticed).
The heat could definitely be an issue though, a friend of mine owns that exact monitor and it does get pretty hot. Sometimes it would momentarily flicker on and off which I suspect happened because of the heat.

It's not doing that anymore according my my friend, which might be due to the fact that he has his ac on all the time now.

Still, even with those problems that's a really awesome monitor. My friend got it on my recommendation, I even looked for it on ebay for him during a long period where newegg had them out of stock.

So I hope you can get a good working unit, when they are working properly they are very nice. :)

It's a known issue with the Westinghouse.

Contact the e-tailer for an RMA.

The only 26" monitors that have the A-TW polerizer are the NEC LCD2690WUXi, Hazro HZ26W, and supposedly random batches of the DoubleSight DS-263N.

To the best of my knowledge Hazro monitors are not sold in the US.

I found that one on ebay for a buy it now price of $900, Looks real nice....

NEC LCD2690WUXi

I'm wondering if its a sizeable upgrade from my L246WP-BN, which is a bout 2" smaller but, goign from a s-pva or is it a m-pva to a A-TW-IPS going to be noticeable I wonder.

hey jaguar did u see this video where this one guy compares the color gamut of that NEC to this other monitor: Gamut comparison, Eizo CG211 vs NEC LCD2690WUXi

What do you make of that?

oh wow nvm that Eizo CG211 is more than double the price, 2,500 may be a little over the top for me for a 21" at this point.

Bid on it / buy it before I decide my NEC LCD2690WUXi is lonely and needs a companion.

I decided to drop the money in the stock market instead.

but that sure is quite volatile...

good luck.

I woudl think buying an A-TW-IPS monitor would be a great investment seeing as they simply don't make them at that price range, period!
