Ok cool, chat soon.

I read it on these forums.

I also have that buzzing when turned off but still on at the socket.

I turn off at the socket at night so not a problem for me.

Ah thanks for the confirmation also Kalpsn, do you turn it off so you can go to sleep or for safety?

Im wondering if this buzzing noise is enough grounds to replace the monitor? Most of the time my monitor is on anyway, it is faint but if my pc off and stay dead slient you would be able to pick it up ever so slightly.

This panel is no longer on the OCUK website!
Is that it :confused:

Speed · 23 Sep 2008 at 15:14

Strange, you are right it's gone, maybe they've completely run out and will add it back up when the next shipment arrives.

Cavallino · 23 Sep 2008 at 16:08

Just got off the phone about the buzzing noise. Theyre going to pick up the panel and refund me, at the same time I have bought another panel (last one!)

Top job OCUK

Thanks for your help.

I got my replacement today... but the panel inside is a LTM240M2-L01
Is this a Sammy pannel? And is it better than the AUO?

Speed · 24 Sep 2008 at 18:29

Well it's a Samsung S-PVA according to the list, slightly slower panel according to the specs, but nothing you'd notice.

How does the picture quality look? Same as your last one?

Cavallino · 24 Sep 2008 at 18:35

It actually looks much better I have to say! The colours look more contrasted and not as "ghosty or white"
Yea saw this is 8ms vs 6ms of the AUO.

Plus... the viewing angles on this are quite a bit better I have to say!!

james.miller · 24 Sep 2008 at 18:53

how are there suddenly so many spammers cropping up on the forums?

Jokester · 24 Sep 2008 at 18:57

*shrug*

Cavallino · 24 Sep 2008 at 23:33

So is it true that these Samsung panels in these DGMs are "laggier"?

Speed · 25 Sep 2008 at 12:28

It's nothing you would notice. I wouldn't worry about it if the image quality is better.

Hi Speed,

Thanks for the comment. I thought I couldve sworn that I noticed some lag.
Either that or I must be paranoid.

I have to say the panels colour is purely phenomenal.

2. When the unit is turned off. I.e. not standby or anything, can you guys hear a faint hissing noise coming from the back of the unit?

I'm getting this as well, though I'm also getting an electric crackle noise as well when it's been sitting in 'off' mode (but on at the mains) for a while - it's sometimes loud enough to head a few metres away.
Has me concerned it's going to burn down my house! so I'll need to give OC a call about it.

This one is a replacement I received last week after a fault in my last one.

Its the in-built speakers, adjust volume to 0 & problem solved

Speed · 27 Sep 2008 at 15:49

Are you sure? I'm doubtful as it happens without them even being plugged in!

Cavallino · 27 Sep 2008 at 16:26

Tried reducing volume to 0%. Still hissing when turned off from unit.

Speed · 27 Sep 2008 at 16:27

Yeah didn't think that was it, I have two panels, one does it and one doesn't. They are both set to default Volume levels.
