Hey guys,

Bought my ACD about a week ago and so far have been loving it! It's the only screen I've ever owned that has had absolutely zero backlight bleed, and nothing else is wrong with it either!

However, I've noticed a buzzing coming from the right speaker vent, and it increases in volume as I increase the brightness of the display. It's irritating me, and I may get it replaced.

Just wondering how common this is? Am I likely to just get it again?

As a random question, does anyone think they'll update the ACD line with the new imac design? This always happens once I finally buy something. :D Although I'm thinking they'll only do it to the thunderbolt version, which means I'm out anyway. The only thunderbolt motherboard for PCs has only a single port and I'm not too keen on the latency of daisy-chaining.

Dunno about common, but mine is a year old and I've never had any issues or humming sounds coming from mine. I'd get it replaced, apple are normally very good in this regard.

As for updated, who knows your guess is as good as mine. I'd like to see a retina ACD but seeing how the iMac has just been updated without it i'd say we're sometime away yet...
 
Honestly, I'm wondering how they'll pull of that thin an enclosure. There'd be less space for the light to bleed except... on the display itself.

ACD is thin enough, haha.
