LCDTV.net, the Internet destination dedicated to clarifying the world of high definition television, is celebrating the launch of its new web site with a Skip Black Friday TV Giveaway contest. Instead of running the gauntlet of post-Thanksgiving shopping, one lucky consumer will be able to sit back, relax and look forward to having a free 40-inch LCD television shipped straight to his or her home, announced LCDTV.net spokesperson Matt Robison.
Not a good experience thus far,
Beautiful looking set, great picture. BUT – steady buzz from back of set. Not very loud, but clearly shouldn’t be there. When sitting in front of the TV with it turned on, you really can’t notice. But if you turn volume down, or mute, it is clearly noticable. Called customer service – and she was clearly someone with barebones training. Most questions I asked her, she put me on hold and obviously checked with someone else. Anyway, bottom line is she came back to the phone and told me that ‘that’s normal; that’s the way the set sounds’. I voiced my concern about this answer, but clearly was not going to get any further on this phonecall. Hung up. To be sure I wasn’t being too picky, I had my wife and a brother come into den, where this TV is, and they both agreed that this was, in fact, NOT normal – at all! Called Samsung back, gave them history, and told the guy NOT to tell me this was ‘normal’. He didn’t. Instead he dispatched local repair shop. Several days later service guy arrived, and took set apart. He figured out which module was buzzing, and ordered one. Two weeks later he returned with an entire front panel of the TV. This includes new screen, frame, most of the guts (including buzzing component), less one board, and power supply. Samsung told him to order it that way, not just the “failing” component (?) Almost a new TV entirely! He put it all together, and guess what? The noise was still there, but now louder than ever! That was a few days ago, and here I sit with my now louder buzzing TV, that I can now hear, sitting in front of set with normal volume on. And Samsung says this is Normal !! Grrrrrrrrrr. The service guy now plans on ordering a new power supply, and replacing that. If that doesn’t work, he thinks a new set entirely is in order! Except for 1 board where all the jack connectors are, the metal back panel, and the pedestal, isn’t that what I already have?? ! To be continued….

|Nice TV when not buzzing,
The picture quality is very nice, set up is intuitive, and the styling is attractive. The first TV had a loud buzzing sound emanating from the rear. Other reviewers have noted this and it was noticeable at normal listening levels. Some times it was loud as soon as the set was turned on and other times it became louder over time.
The second set hasn’t had this problem yet. A low buzzing sound is still present, but you cannot hear it while watching TV. There appears to be an issue with a component on this model since my older Samsung doesn’t exhibit this problem.
The price is right and the set is very nice, but you may have to exchange it due to the buzzing sound.
