Hi all,

So I have noticed that my display produce an annoying ringing/buzzing noise when it is powered on. I have had similar issues with computer monitors, and it is usually easy to fix by changing the refresh rate to a lower frequency. However, I don't know how to do that/if that is possible on the built-in display. Does anyone have any advice, or is this just something that I'll have to live with?

Thanks in advance,

William

I just noticed the same exact thing on mine today. I have no idea if it was there before, or I just now noticed it. But now that I can hear it, it's annoying when it's quiet in the car (stopped at a light, etc). Also, I think it's possible that a bit of the buzzing sound is translated through the speakers, but I can't quite tell as of yet.

Did you figure out what the issue was and/or how to fix it?
