ED347CKR Monitor Problem - Randomly throughout the day making loud static/crackling noises
We bought 2 of these for our home office in June of 2018, and only one (mine) developed the issue (after a few months of use); though the monitor that doesn't have this issue is connected via DisplayPort. So suspect that the issue may well be with the HDMI connection or the internal circuitry? [The noise is definitely coming from the back of the monitor, and not through the speaker of the connected laptop].
For the last few months, it's been making this loud crackling/static noises at completely random times throughout the day. Initially, it seemed that it was occurring, or being triggered by, times when i had a large number of Chrome tabs open. But in the last month or so it's happening more and more and seemingly just randomly now. It's a pity I like the monitor, but this noise just makes the situation totally unworkable (especially in a shared small home office enviroment)
As I said it's connected via HDMI... and I've replaced the cable with a new one (gold plated super good quality cable), and it made no difference. I also added some ferrite choke rings to the HDMI cable also, though again it made no difference.
Assume I'll need to send this into Acer..... I just need a monitor that doesn't make this crazy noise.
Any suggestions? Thanks so much
