Samsung forum: Do all Samsung HDTVs have a buzzing sound issue?

Let's say there is no sound coming from a source. On any machine, device, or amplifier when you crank it up you should get some buzz or other noise or sound.

This is not a bug or a design flaw. I think lessons in physics, electronics and a detour talking about the big bang would get you all the details why this happens.

Hope this helps,

I purchased a Samsung PN50B860 after reading about the Panny Plasma black level issues posted hear and rolled the dice with my Samsung purchase. Plugged it in and with the audio muted, I'm hearing the buzzing noise everyones talking about. I'm only using OTA feed now but wondering what I should do. I still have time to buy an extended warranty but don't know if it would cover this issue if Samsung claims its normal. I went into my local BB store and didn't hear any buzz on the same model I have and there's plenty of interference that should cause it to buzz and it was silent. Will the buzzing get louder? Why would one set buzz and another be completely silent?

I found the 2010 model 50" 550 model at Best Buy for the same price as the best internet price and paid the $100 sales tax to insure against the infamous buzz. I thought BB would just drop the box off and let me set it up but they said they had to be sure we got a picture before they left. So I was very pleased as I would just return it right then if it buzzed. The HDMI output from the Directv box was faulty so it took a while and I actually forgot about the buzz issue. (I thought the old Rear Projection TV HDMI was bad) I used the AV hook up to confirm a picture and am using Componet cables until I resolve the HDMI issue - great picture with both. Hooked up the Blue Ray DVD and it knocked my socks off.

Last night the wife and I had to stick our heads behind the TV to hear a faint buzz. Her hearing is very good and we hear nothing from the front standing right next to it. The TV was on all day so it should have buzzed if it is going to. The TV is about 1 foot from the wall. If this changes for the worse I will report back.

The BB delivery/setup crew was worth the $100 sales tax and return policy.
