Ah well, that blows my recommendation out of the water. I haven't had any problems like that. Have you considered getting it replaced? They have a really good warranty.

so your monitor doesnt make any crack noises at all?

I've got two of them and no issues at all. Like mentioned above you can always send it back.

that sounds like a good suggestion what i am talking about is random crack noises (sounds like plastic cracks or something) that happen every 5-10 minutes even if the monitor is asleep...so your monitor is silent all the time with no such cracks ever?

Yep, no issues. I'm pretty picky too - my TC spinning drives me nuts.

Dell's Ultrasharp 2408 is regularly dipping under $400 these days, and also worth considering if you don't mind PVA instead of IPS. Just please don't buy a TN - it's a sure path to crappier color.
