i recently got a new samsung 2233sw. very satisfied with it's performance but over the past few days, i've started noticing that it is heating up quite a bit and i'm wondering if this is normal. the actual monitor isn't too bad... on the sides, and the back you can't tell. but on the top though, it gets pretty hot after using it for a while.
this is not the real issue though... one thing i've noticed is that the air in front of the monitor gets very warm. at times, you can actually feel heat radiation right in front of the screen. right now i'm sitting an arms length away from it and i can feel the warmth... but it gets really weird when you feel the radiation. it's not very hot but it is noticeable enough to change the ambient temperature in the vicinity of the monitor. i'm pretty sure this shouldn't be happening... my last lcd never had this issue but then it was smaller too.
so i guess my question is... is this normal? i know a lot of people on this board have the same monitor so i wanted to know if they have the same experience. or should i call the dealer and ask for servicing/replacement?
thanks for reading this and i'd appreciate your inputs.
