3007WFP-HC Tech talk

Hello everyone,
   I recently purchased a 3007WFP-HC and i'd like to know your personal experiences with it.  Have any of you encountered any technical issues with your monitor? 
 
A list of some technical aspects of this monitor i'd like to state.
-I notice that this monitor runs very hot after prolonged use.  If you put your hand on the top vents of the display, its quite hot.
 
-From a cold start, there is an almost unnoticeable buzzing sound coming from the back of the display.  After 30 minutes to 1 hour, the buzzing sound intensifies.  It is noticeable, but its not blatantly loud. 
 
-Besides the USB ports on the monitor, the card readers install and uninstall every time the monitor is switched on and off.  In "My Computer" they show up as "removeable disk (h), and (I)."  "Safely remove hardware" is always running in the taskbar.  Also, one of the devices is installed as a 3.5 floppy.
 
That is the list of some interesting technical related issues that raise questions for me.  You can infer from this that i'm not that smart with computers, however i'd like to address these questions in the hopes that someone can shed some light on them for me.  I'm not stating that these are real or serious problems.  I'd just like to know if this is normal for the operation of a 3007WFP-HC. 
 
I'd love to hear your own personal experiences with this monitor as well.

    Mine runs hot as well but I don't have the buzzing noise although a lot of people have reported that on ...  You should check out the display forum over at ardForums... there are lots of 3007WFP-HC owners there.  I think most people said the buzzing was tied to having the display at max brightness and most had Rev A03 (FWIW).  If it's obnoxious send it back.
     
    Here's a direct link to a big 3007WFP-HC link on ...
     
    I also don't have problems with the USB reader but I'm using Vista.  The removable drives show up but that's normal.  No reinstall every boot for me.

    Have a look at this -
    My LCD monitor utters this high frequent, buzzing sound

    The card reader behavior is normal AFAIK.

     I just had a Dell 3007FWP for repair. After repairing it, and letting it "cook" for an hour, it was very hot. This will cause problems. The problem with the monitor was that the 24 volt rectifier was shorted. I think that it was due to excessive heat build up. That is an inherent design flaw. To over come this problem you can take a small computer fan and mount it on the back of the monitor. I didn't do that on this repair because I want to repair it again. I am in the business of repairing monitors, not making them last forever!
