noise on pc monitor

[elverquisst]

hi!, im wondering if anybody can help me with this, i have a home studio and i have noise on my input, the funny thing is that when i turn off my pc monitor the static or hum will disappear. im using a samsung monitor, end i have done placing a common ground for all of my equiptment, i havent tried using lcd monitor,

the static i am getting is somewhat like a flanger guitar effects and it is only present when my monitor is on, i've wasted a day and found no solution yet.
i dont have money for any new equipment right now, please help me...

Kinda answered your own question, didn't 'ya??

'when i turn off my pc monitor the static or hum will disappear'

You can either get the monitor fixed or replace it. Unless you know what you're doing, I >>highly<< recomend you don't open it up and start sticking your fingers around where there's 40,000 volts....

don't try and "fix" it your self, the monitors probably not broken, just old.
some gits will do this, some not. as far as i can tell it depends on the pickup winding.

you're gonna need a new monitor, flat pannels don't hum like this this.

untill then there's 3 things you can do,
1. get away from the monitor, as far as possible, you may need to be like 15 feet away (if you can) even a little help a little.
2. turn, you can tune out most of the hum by turning and listening. when the hum goes away, that's where you play.
3. when you hit record, turn off the monitor.

i dealt with this for years.
