Re: Newbie Couple of quickie questions

Hi Frank!

1) Does this noise happen when you have a normal picture and changes in
pitch as the screen image changes? That is perfectly normal. Sounds a
bit like squirrels in heat in a tin can..

2) Have you found the contrast control for your sharpness/brightness
adjustments? You might have to tweak the screen and focus as well
