A display apparatus having a high voltage FBT driving circuit includes a transformer having a primary and a secondary coil, a high voltage detector to detect an output voltage of the secondary coil, a high voltage compensator to output a high voltage compensating signal based on the detected voltage, a DC voltage controller to adjust a DC voltage according to the high voltage compensating signal and to output the adjusted DC voltage to the primary coil, a horizontal deflector to generate a horizontal deflecting pulse based on the DC voltage, a turns ratio adjuster to adjust a turns ratio of the primary and secondary coils, and a controller to control the turns ratio adjuster so as to make the output DC voltage higher than a lower limit when the frequency of a received horizontal synchronous signal is lower than a predetermined reference level.
