I've got a question about CRTs... Is it normal for them to emit this low wining/ringing sound even after start up? It's annoying and headache inducing.
My old TV became really bad with this, it was as if it was crying for blood ha, so I got a new one (also a CRT) and the same problem popped up again... except it's much lower. It can be tolerated but after I shut off the TV this pressure on the back of my head goes off and that sound stops. Every time that happens I'm reminded of this.
I just requested for an exchange because maybe there's something wrong with this unit but I'm not really sure. When I was at the store, I went to the CRT section and sure enough I got that slight headache/pressure and that low ringing sound again.
I did check the same TV model though and it didn't have a vibration sound inside when you're listening really close (like several inches to the side)... something the tv I have now exhibits so I'm thinking the new unit that'll exchange this could have something better than the current one.
Still, I'm confused... am I just hyper sensitive? BTW, over the last few weeks I've had these insane headaches and the ringing sound without a TV... and they were EXACTLY like the ones I have now due to a CRT. They also got really bad when I turned on my old TV with the same sounds (but worse)... These are tapering off now and rarely happen but it's weird that they’re the same as the CRT noise and I’m wondering if it's just me or what. =\
I remember months ago I didn't have any problem with CRTs so I have no idea what happened here.
Thanks to whoever actually read this post; it's long but I needed to vent. There's no way I'm going with an LCD as it'll butcher every non-HD videogame out there and most of my gaming is on standard resolution games right now. This sucks.
