[QUOTE="Adric, post: 1480718, member: 245480"] It's entirely possible for computers to give off interference though they're not supposed to. All electronic devices from appliances to computers are supposed to meet certain FCC requirements on acceptable levels if interference (EM and RF) they emmit before they can be sold but every now and then, one gets through the assembly line that isn't on the level it should be. The power supply unit (or PSU) could be giving off the interference or it could be the power supply for the LED backlight, the charger, etc. It's really hard to say. Any old transistor in there could be the culprit. Different monitors might help if they are shielded better. It's really hard to say though. Are you guys hearing more of a buzzing sound? That's EM (electromagnetic) interference caused usually by electrical equipment and bad wiring somewhere. Are you hearing faint static that comes off and on? That's RF (radio frequency) interference caused by radio frequencies being picked up by your equipment. Sometimes you can even hear faint voices in there too. Note: it's not just radio stations that cause this but anything dealing with the FCC spectrum; radio, TV, cell phones, etc. all can cause RF interference. Are you hearing continuous (very) faint static? That's normal. Especially if the volume is all the way up. [/QUOTE]
