Did anyone have buzzing out of the TV when playing videos?? Is there a fix??

No buzzing on my unit...everything works fine. The buzzing is probably electrical interference for which you will have to pinpoint a cause

hi i bought this tv and got it last wednesday and i notice when i have the picture on dynamic that the buzzing is so distracting i can harldy watch and then somewhat better on standard and then hardly noticeable on movie mode. I dont really like the picture on movie mode though.

YES they BUZZ. It may be a little hit or miss, but it seems most of these TVs buzz. I had three from Amazon and they all buzzed to varying degrees, plus some other issues. One more from Crutchfield and the buzz is the worst yet. I have given up on this model and am thinking of the PN50B650 (as soon as amazon brings the price back down - these yo-yo prices are annoying, may just head to best buy in the end !).

Ours kept doing that also. We had it for about 3 years and finally last year it started to the same thing. I took it in to an authorized Panasonic dealer to see if I could get it repaired and I was told that the part that was needed to repair it was no longer available. I hope you have better luck than I did. We no longer have a sound bar for our T.V.

There is a buzz heard when directly in front of TV at any distance. It is NOT inherent in Plasma technology but specific to this model. To me it is extremely annoying. I heard it during normal programming at normal volumes. It is a design flaw in TV that has not been addressed and it is a total deal breaker for me. Your mileage may very but I'm not listening to that high pitched whiny noise on such an expensive television set.

I'm having this exact same issue with my TCL 40". If anyone has any ideas on how to to fix this besides buying speakers, it would be appreciated.

Hi Kevin, I have experienced this noise. I bought it brand new and returned and exchanged it and the second television did this as well. You can read my comment on the comments page. Did you resolve this problem? CJ

I know exactly what you're talking about and that happens to mine as well from time to time. You probably can't work the volume on the tv either while it's happening too, right? Usually, what I would do is unplug it for the night and the next day when I wanted to watch it, I would plug it back in and the lower right corner glitch would go away. I will say that is my biggest gripe with the tv, but it's just a glitch and unplugging it always worked for me in the past. Hope this helps!

I have a slight buzz from mine's as well, really noticeable when the volume is on a lower lever (anything below 15). From what I have read, this is fairly normal since a lot of energy is used to heat the plasma. Also, since I'm only about 7 feet away from my set, that might be part of the reason why I notice it. Did the samsung tech support cost a lot to come out to install the insulating material?

I qould contact samsung right away and inform them of teh situation...from what I have read (AVS Forums) they will send a technician out and if they determine there is a buzz they do have a solution...anyone looking for more info I would suggest going to AVS forums and reading the thread about this TV....be warned...its long....longer than whoadies vag.

I'm really interested in hearing what you found. We just got a new Samsung TV and it has the same problem.

Why? because stops working and you no longer have a viewable picture or is making a lot of whining or buzzing noise indicating an impending failure. When? When you no longer have a viewable picture or can't heard the tv sound because the buzzing is too loud. In my case, I'm hard of hearing in some frequencies. The buzzing happened to be in one of those deaf zones so I barely heard it. The family complained about the noise so I ultimately replaced the color wheel. I did make a difference in the sound. Upon examining the old one it spun and wobbled on its bearings or what was left of its bearings.

I just got them and hooked them up. My plasma is causing interference when bright as well. Does moving the unit away from the tv help? Would like to explore fixes before returning.Thanks

No, the buzzing sound is always on, unless you are on mute. I had mine for a couple of months now and it seems to have gotten worse

I just got delivery on my PN50B860 and no buzzing. My guess is that given all the negative publicity that it is fixed. No problems and the flat panel is awesome! Try contacting Samsung technical service to confirm as they should be able to inform you if the issue has been resolved.According to a Samsung customer, (http://reviews.us.samsung.com/7463/PN50B860Y2FXZA/pn50b860-50-1080p-plasma-hdtv-reviews/reviews.htm) the buzz issue cured and there is a tech repair sheet out from Samsung to fix it so the newer TV's should be fine.

I remember having that issue when I first hooked mine up as well. I think the source for your audio on the TV is messed up. Make sure you have audio coming out of the TV and not through a receiver or make sure the receiver will play the audio. I have to turn off my TV speakers in order for the audio to play tthrough an external source.
