    Sony BVM-20F1E Problems

    I bought a BVM last week, when i got it home and turned it on, the screen was emitting a loud buzzing noise, this is happening with no av cables plugged in so i know it's not a problem with the source. It wasn't happening when i bought it as the person i got it from had it on when i went over to collect.

    Started using it, with my headphones on so i couldn't hear the buzzing, and after an hour or so i noticed that there was a slight white ripple on the left hand side of the screen, this got bigger until it was covering nearly a third of the monitor. The ripple is now permanently there, it's less pronounced on some channels but it's definitely there. The picture itself is perfect, the problem is like a white rippling overay

    Has anyone had this on another CRT monitor/TV before? Any idea if the monitor has had it or if it's fixable? A local electronics firm said they'd have a look at it for me, but if it's a no hoper then there's no point. The screen has over 80000 hours on it but i've read that it should be able to do quite a bit more than this.

      Thats over 9 years if on 24 hours a day seven days a week, no wonder it's shagged. Sorry.

        Yeah i know it's a lot, i have read that they can run quite a bit longer though. Just wondering if it's worth trying to have it repaired.

          I've got the same monitor, let me know where you check the hours and I'll see how long mine has been on for...?

            There's a status option in the settings, that shows you the hours.
