- pezezin 9mo agoThat only applies to TV sets, computer monitors operated at much higher frequencies outside the human hearing range.
- blincoln 9mo agoThey weren't that high frequency. I could hear computer monitors into my twenties at least. I'd guess somewhere around 20 - 22 kHz. CRTs were largely replaced by LCDs by my late 20s/early 30s, so I don't have a good sense of when I stopped being able to hear frequencies that high.
- pezezin 9mo agoVGA monitors had a minimum horizontal frequency of 31 kHz (480p at 60Hz), way outside the human hearing range.

- pezezin 9mo agoMost arcade monitors operate at the usual 15 kHz, although some later games operated at 24 kHz (medium resolution) and 31 kHz (high resolution).
