Looking for a silent S-IPS or S-PVA LCD monitor

Post by ck8-04 » Wed Oct 29, 2008 4:00 pm

I absolutely love the NEC LCD2090UXi's image quality and features, but I've just about had it with the backlight inverter whine. The whine is very noticeable when my ear is placed right next to one of the vents, but it is still audible from about 2 feet away, although somewhat faint, since my hearing is very sharp. I am now on the hunt for another LCD monitor that's based off of an IPS or PVA panel, is 21" or smaller with a 4:3 ratio, and is silent. Does anyone know which monitors would be silent and be guaranteed PVA or IPS? I wouldn't mind sacrificing image quality for a little silence which is why PVA is an option for me now, but no way in hell am I going back to TN.
