HL-T5087S BUZZING SOUND Just received a Samsung 5087S and still need to figure out all it has to offer - but there is a loud buzzing sound with bright images and text displays and it's driving me crazy!

i have the same "buzzing" sound coming from the vent on the left rear side. not sure if its normal but im going to set up service call to confirm.*update*ive been tweaking the settings and the buzzing seems to go way down if you put the contrast on about 50%, thus throwing the picture quality off. ive decided im going to send this tv back and replace it with the samsung lcd.

I have had my tv for about two months now. Have never heard any kind of buzzing noise. The picture and sound is great. Plasma screen is bright and clear. Love it so far.

I own a Samsung HTL56 DLP model and I'm having problems with noises coming from the TV. It sounds like cracking and poping and it happens when it's on but it's really bad when it's turned off. It sounds like its going to explode. Anyone else have this problem? Can anyone tell me what may cause this? It's only 2 years old. Thanks

I've had best buy out twice now. The first time to replace all the screws in the back of the tv and that helped for about 1 week and the buzzing or humming sound came back. Best buy came today and replace one of the boards on the tv and i'm hoping this will fix the problem.

I haven't had any problems with mine, but I did have a similar problem with another model and this is how it started before the whole screen went dark. I had a technician come by. He said it was the mother board and that he would fix it but he couldn't guarantee it wouldn't happen again. He said that it's best to replace the mother board, and if you have to do that you might as well buy another tv. I took a chance and he fixed the problem temporarily, then it died, so I threw it away and bought this LG. I've had it since July 2013 and it's worked fine. Mine is the same model in a 50-inch. I did buy the 5 year warranty just in case since it's new technology. With these smart tvs it's best to get the warranty because you never know. If it's still under warranty, you should return it and have them replace it before your warranty expires because once the mother board gives out it's too expensive to fix and you're better off buying another tv.

I purchased this unit in October and had a bad DLP engine from the start. It would make a rather loud grinding noise, similar to what you hear from a PC hardrive spinning, only serveral times louder. The good news is that I contacted Samsung and they made arrangements to send a Customer Service representative out the following Friday and he replaced the engine in my home within 15 minutes and at no cost. Don't be so quick to dismiss their Customer Service as I am completely satisfied with their response time and outcome. The TV works great now and we are totally thrilled with the performance and quality. Good luck! I purchased this unit in October and had a bad DLP engine from the start.

Well MFin, my replacement set arrived last week and, thus far, it's been absolutely perfect. The crystal clear edges and deep blacks that sold me on this set in the showrooms is now alive and well in my living room. High Def looks absolutely sick. The "buzzing sound" that many owners cite (and admittedly, was very noticeable in my 1st set) is now virtually non-existant. I'm going to chalk my first experience up to a fluke. I hope you end up with a '5084 that meets or exceeds your expectations. I recommend you give it 1 last shot....good luck!

I have been using my model for 2 months now and no buzzing noise can be heard, I tried to figure out a way to adjust the brightness, but there is none...

Here ia a direct quote from the Samsung service manual: "Any `creaking' noise is mostly from the structure of the device itself. A short, harsh noise may occur from a distortion or malformation due to thermal expansion between the metal joints, screws and loaded parts, respectively. Any intermittent `creaking' noise can be removed by loosening the screws." I purchased the service manual out of my own curiosity as to how it works. I will not try to service this set myself while the warranty is in effect. Purchased the manual from "manualuniverse.com" for about $18.00. They also have a manual titled; "Samsung HL--Txx87 & HL-txx89 DLP TV "Halo" Problem Fix". From my previous CRT RP HDTV I often heard a loud crack after the set was turned off for a while. I have not heard that noise from my current HL-T5687S. Good luck!

I've had my PN50C550 for several weeks now and had no buzzing at all. I've been very happy with this TV.

I received my replacement about a week ago. I turned on the TV, and there it is again - the buzzing sound exists. That's two TVs, and both are the same. I do admit that the picture quality and everything else is very good. I'll probably return this, and go with another model.

I just got mine a few days ago and it has the buzzz :( i heard a batch of serial numbers were affected by the buzzing (earlier production models)..... anyone have more information on this?

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 purchased a samusung 40 led tv. It is a 120 hz according to the box it came in. Also according to samsung customer service reps. But yet on the back of the tv where there is the UL label it says the tv is 60 hz. Noone at samsung seems to know why. I spoke to many of their reps and duh they have no idea why. Does anyone know why there is this difference?

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.

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 !).

Does anyone know if the Samsung B850/860 buzzing sound is coming from the Tv only or if it also comes from the sound system when you have it hooked up to separate speakers?
