Yeah, the chances of you finding a CRT in 2017 without coil whine is slim to fucking none. That shit is annoying.

Sucker born every FREAKING SECOND. Know what I enjoy most about your situation? You were swindled out of precious capital with a bum deal. I mean, you're scum of the earth. Pray to me and the other clever bandits who prowl the retro smoke lounges, opium bubbles on the brink of a burst, but not to a maladroit sucker like yourself. You cannot see through our facade. I post an ad for hardware from my scrap bin and without fail another one of you snatch it up. 300% returns on my spoils. I sold a custom jimmied CRT that I claimed could play Atari cartridges. It was close to done, lacked peripherals, but I sold it before finalising the handiwork any! 1) to see if I could and 2) because I was visiting another state when I posted the ad. That is some Damn good merchantability if I do say so myself. I rely on weary imbecilic travelers like you to always take a detour into my little shop of hoodwinks. I make more than a living doing this. I'm classes beyond probably everyone reading my post. Feel belittled? Tough! It infuriates you to not be me and that makes me feel good.

Don't trust these twerps. They don't have the sellers's gene in them so they post only what they imagine they could sell it for. In all of their inferior grunting they lack the imagination to upsell heaps of garbage. Sell it for 97 dollars. Meet them in a coffee shop which is most inconvenient to them. Sell it bundled with cords, including loose red yellow whites to give th impression that they'll be of Amy use. Make haste in your presentation. Be an insufferable personality. Chatty, odd facial tics, an oblivious tendency to spurt into the sort of long winded ramble that makes others want to avoid prolonged contact. Take the money and run. They won't come back in contact with you. They worry about starting a conflict with somebody as socially perturbed as you. Too much hassle. Congrats. You've got yourself 97 dollars.

I have a 20" PVM I got a year or 2 ago, SCART hook up wires and all, that makes that awful noise.
Packed it up and put it away in storage. Waiting for my ears to get worse so I wont notice the noise anymore then I will bring it back.
I noticed that drinking caffeine or coming home from a long day I would not notice the noise as much.
I am 29 so I don't have that much time to wait I hope....

This is false, I worked at Goodwill for awhile testing electronics as they came in. We got a shit load of crts that worked perfectly fine, if anything the display would be discolored more often than anything else.

Your problem is you used Craigslist.

When i moved into my house there was a 27 inch Sansui on the front porch, I brought it inside after a year and it works fine aside from the speakers which probably got wet. It does S video too, I use it for multiplayer. Meme monitors arent expensive if you find a lucky PVM or go with practically any other Japanese brand RGB input studio monitor, JVCs Panasonics etc sell for like 150-200 less than a PVM of the same size, nothing can really top Sony's A/V quality at their height at a consumer level but a lot of quality shit was made back then.

Just be patient and don't be stupid and you'll get what you need eventually.
