I have two monitors (usually connected to different computers), both with irritating disadvantages.
The monitor I usually use (Iiyama E2208HDS) - its only problem is that when it is in standby mode, it emits a regular and pulsing whining sound (I assume this is coil whine). I think the sound is getting worse, and/or my tolerance to it has decreased.
The second monitor is a bit newer (Iiyama E2282HS). Its only problem exhibits itself when I'm using my old trackball and its only method of page scrolling (middle button) - the text flickers when scrolling, making it unreadable. The first monitor manages this perfectly fluidly.
The first monitor's problem I'm unlikely to be able to fix since I neither have a soldering iron or the knowledge to fix such a problem (if it is what I think it is). I thought I'd ask about the second monitor's problem in case anyone has any bright ideas about how to go about fixing it. I've tried a factory reset on the monitor.
In case it helps, I use a DVI connection for either monitor.
