My monitor seems to warm up the small room I am in. Is this normal? Is there anything I can do to make it give off less heat.

My monitor does not give off heat. I do know that my older computer would not work well with this monitor and my have power issues. I had bought a new computer that supported the extra pixels this monitor has. Excellent!

When using it to control a little space heater, the unit gets hot and affects the perceived temperature since the probe is so close to the unit. For this reason I place the unit close to the ceiling fan.

Some older monitors have incandescent backlighting and they get hot and use a lot of power. Just like on a lot of newer flat screen TVs, these monitors use LED back lighting which uses very little electricity and they barely get warm.

It's a very large screen and it does get rather warm. Don't know how to draw the line for excessive?

No this is how the heater operates. Mine does the same thing.1) If set at 72F, it will heat up to 73, then stop. (It's still powered on, just not heating).2) The room drops to 71F. 3) Then once the display drops to 70F, the heater restarts.4) Repeat cycle.This cycle can take a long time for a larger room like a bedroom. It's a good design because limiting the ON/OFF cycles for heaters extends their life.Refer to the similar Question 1 for a similar response.

Look elsewhere. The fan has a hard time keeping 147sq ft room warm. It constantly running and never hits the temperature.

My laptop never even get warm with just the fans in the laptop. I have never had a computer put out so little heat as this one does.

I also had a display go completely unresponsive. You can do a seach online on how to reseat the ribbon cables to the unit , as that might help, or if you have two systems, you can swap displays to get the heat going for the affected zone.Ultimately I ended up ordering a new unit to solve my problem.

Yes it gets hot when playing, my room is usually warm and that doesnt help i am playing skyrim at 67C-72C, the other thing is that i play with the laptop on my lap, maybe using it at a desk may help, and im planning on buying something to get my room a little bit cooler in the days hehe

My Minix actually burnt itself up after 3 months. It's a powerful little device. They actually need some heat syncs to help fight the heat. You could try lowering your screen resolution if you can. The harder you push it, the hotter it will get.

I did not do anything special. I unplugged it for a short time, switched it off, plugged it back in, and switched it to low. I haven't tried that one on high again since low seems to do the job of providing heat.

The light is always on for me also, never noticed it to get much above slightly warm. However mine is mounted in a fairly open area so may just cool itself easier.

Whenever using ANY power supply, there is always gonna be some warmth/heat coming from the unit regardless of whats connected to it. This is perfectly normal. Now if its HOT to the touch, that is not good. Replace immediately. Hope this helps. Be safe ....Chris.

If it is in a small room without ventalation it can get really hot so the fan needs to work over time so the projector doesnt over heat. I sometime notice it but it doesnt bother me. I use some loud bose speakers so if the fan is on "full blast" i dont even notice. People are being extran picky i think

I have noticed no jump in my power bill and it has been plugged in literally for a couple months now. To put your hand on the pad inside, I would compare it to a luke warm temperature, perfect kitty temperature but by no means a heat source to the room it is in. I am really happy with it.

I don't know if it's normal or not but mine does the same thing. I think that this is supposed to happen but I also think it reduces the efficiency of the unit. It blows out very cold air but does an inadequate job of cooling the room which is fairly small. Not happy.

To ensure the temperatures are nearly the same, make sure you place all comparing thermostats in the same exact location. Even testing across the room can make a difference, possibly what you are experiencing.
