Loud hissing noise coming from monitor when I increase the brightness

Return it. Something is about to break in that thing.

Hi,

I have just recieved a brand new Acer Nitro VG240Ybmipx 23.8 Inch FHD Gaming Monitor. However, I am having an issue with it. I have found that when I increase the brightness using the monitor menu, there is a hissing noise. If I decrease the brightness to below 55, the noise stops completely.
 
Currently, I have the brightness set to 65% and the hissing noise coming from the monitor is very minimal. 

Does anyone know if this can be fixed or do I need to return it?

Thanks

Yeah, thought something wasn't right. Never had a monitor do this before.

I suggest returning it, it might not be a problem but still, returning it is the best idea

Main PC [The Rig of Theseus]:

CPU: i5-8600K @ 5.0 GHz | GPU: GTX 1660 | RAM: 16 GB DDR4 3000 MHz | Case: Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic | PSU: Corsair RM 650i | SSD: Corsair MP510 480 GB |  HDD: 2x 6 TB WD Red| Motherboard: Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Pro | OS: Windows 11 Pro for Workstations

 

Secondary PC [Why did I bother]:

CPU: AMD Athlon 3000G | GPU: Vega 3 iGPU | RAM: 8 GB DDR4 3000 MHz | Case: Corsair 88R | PSU: Corsair VS 650 | SSD: WD Green M.2 SATA 120 GB | Motherboard: MSI A320M-A PRO MAX | OS: Windows 11 Pro for Workstations

 

Server [Solution in search of a problem]:

Model: HP DL360e Gen8 | CPU: 1x Xeon E5-2430L v1 | RAM: 12 GB DDR3 1066 MHz | SSD: Kingston A400 120 GB | OS: VMware ESXi 7

 

Server 2 electric boogaloo [A waste of electricity]:

Model: intel NUC NUC5CPYH | CPU: Celeron N3050 | RAM: 2GB DDR3L 1600 MHz | SSD: Kingston UV400 120 GB | OS: Debian Bullseye

 

Laptop:

Model: ThinkBook 14 Gen 2 AMD | CPU: Ryzen 7 4700U | RAM: 16 GB DDR4 3200 MHz | OS: Windows 11 Pro

 

Photography:

 

Cameras:

Full Frame digital: Sony α7

APS-C digital: Sony α100

Medium Format Film: Kodak Junior SIX-20

35mm Film:

 

Lenses:

Sony SAL-1870 18-70mm ƒ/3.5-5.6 

Sony SAL-75300 75-300mm ƒ/4.5-5.6

Meike MK-50mm ƒ/1.7

 

PSA: No, I didn't waste all that money on computers, (except the main one) my server cost $40, the intel NUC was my old PC (although then it had 8GB of ram, I gave the bigger stick of ram to a person who really needed it), my laptop is used and the second PC is really cheap.

I like tinkering with computers and have a personal hatred towards phones and everything they represent (I daily drive an iPhone 7, or a 6, depends on which one works that day)

About to confirm the return for the monitor. As other replies said its probably best to return it. I have never experienced coil whine on any previous monitors, would it be considered a fault?

No , but just dont mention the term coil whine and they should take it back.

 

However if it is coil whine , ur replacement unit could also have the same thing.

 

and ofc if it is coil whine its nothing to worry about, annoying maybe ..but nothing to worry about.

Okay, I have only mentioned that it has a buzzing noise when the brightness is increased. 

If the replacement does a similar thing then I will know for sure. No harm done getting a replacement for no extra charge just to be on the safe side. 

 

Thanks for the advice.
