    I have some good news and bad news. Took it back to the store and exchanged it for a brand new one. Plugged it in no buzzing!

    Well as soon as I turned down the brigtness the buzzing came back. It turns out if you use the Fn key to turn the brightness down it intriduces a buzzing in to the screen that is very annoying. Does any1 know if there is a fix for this or something, or if it is normal?

    no lol. I had the same concern. I posted awhile back when I bought it and some other guy said the same thing. So its normal. IF you have the brightness at MAX no buzzing. The more you lower the brightness the more buzzing. But its not too bad, I can only hear it if I put my ear next to it.

    Yup Ive got the same problem with mine its quite loud aswell, It actually increases the frequency the higher the brightness thats why you cant hear it on full brightness but some people can I had my 8 yr old cousin ask me why it was so loud, turns out young people hear higher frequencies better.
