More Radius monitor sounds

[blooz]

Well, it's time to stop living in denial (Kind of wet here in de Nile, and the crocs are bothering me) and admit that the old Radius is looking for retirement. Last night it started making this sound that is between what you hear from a teapot as it starts to boil (but before the actual whistling) and a loose fanbelt. It went on about 10 minutes then stopped. Tonight it comes on for a while, stops a while, then comes back. Picture quality is still good but that noise is driving me whacko (how would I know the difference, you may ask).

So, can anyone recommend a good 17or 19 inch monitor for 300 or less? Or am i smoking too much crunch to think I can get anything for less than 300 bucks?
