Hello,
I had noticed a high-pitched whine from my monitor while playing the Beta version of a certain game (since the official release, the Refresh rate was lowered).
More recently, I had increased my screen resolution from 1024*768 to 1152*864. Since then, I've had a problem with a high-pitched whine. I had lowered the Refresh Rate from 75Hz to 70Hz, which caused the noise to cease... but not permanently. It occasionally recurs and ends later on (sometimes if I turn off the monitor for a few second/minutes); I've come to ignore it after a while.
On a side-note, I cannot bear 60 Hz, considering I spend much time on the computer, likely more than is healthy. =P
I've been doing a bit of research on the whine, and was reminded that the last time I checked my monitor's maximum refresh rate, I was using a lower resolution. My monitor manufacturer's website does not mention the max. refresh rate for my resolution.
I have come here to ask the following:
- What are the possible causes of this; could it cause permanent damage or lower the life of my monitor? Is my monitor capable of handling the current configuration?
- Is there any way to calculate maximum refresh rate for a monitor at a given resolution, assuming you have that very data for two or more other resolutions? Or alternatively, could somebody find out the maximum refresh rate for the Daytek DT-95A monitor at 1152*864 resolution?
