FAQs

Why does a hissing noise emanate from the FlexScan SX3031W and SX2762W?

These monitors have a fan built-in to suppress the internal temperature build up. The noise can be heard depending on the installation location, but it's not an abnormality in function. For example, if the monitor is placed near the wall, please make more room between the monitor and the wall. This may reduce the hissing noise.
