I get a slight plastic smell emanating from new TV although not noticeable if I am very close to TV. Has anyone experience this?

I didn't notice this, but I wasn't looking for it either. Maybe it is just because it it's new. It could also be remnants from the packaging. If it continues, I would contact Vizio.

We have not noticed any plastic smell. I must say that we have a large room so it may not be that apparent it the smell is not too intense.

Haven't notice any smells coming from the TV, and I've had the TV on for long periods at a time. For instance today it's been on all day, when we have the grand kids over, the TV stays on all day and night, and so far its' working as expected... I'm very happy with the TV and love the 3D movies and so does the granddaugthers. Hope this helps...

No, but it may be normalas LEDs are warming up for the first time. Should go away after awhile.

I have found that all new plastic products have at least a slight plastic smell when you first open them. This product is no different. It's not bad at all.

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?

Mine had a very very very faint plastic smell, not an odor. A day after setting it up, it was completely gone. The dog loves it!

I did not have that problem. It maybe the smell of the rubber/plastic compound that it's made of after being enclosed in it packaging. It should dissipate within a couple of days at the most. Otherwise I would contact the manufacturer

It was awhile after installing mine that I had the burning smell and finally found that the light was degrading the plastic water tray for the A/C's condenser coil. The smell went away a couple months after un-plugging it. I moved it to a main duct away from the furnace as the light is small, but very powerful and remember NOT to look at the blue light!

Ours smelled like new plastic for the first couple days but the smell faded quick. Everything that could went through the dishwasher on steam setting and the entire thing got wiped down with lysol wipes.

No not that I noticed. I wiped everything down with a Clorox wipe after assembly but I never noticed a smell beforehand.

Yes, there is a separate button for the ion option so you can turn it off with the the lamp on. I did not think there was a "plastic" smell and I prefer to have the ion on myself.

We just bought ours and it smells just like burning plastic. When it's unplugged it smells that way, too. It's the odor off the plastic housing.

I have not smell from my unit. It does make a slight sound, but any noise in the room over powers it.

Plastic smell goes away after a few uses. The temp dropping I don't think is normal. You might want to check if it's still under warranty. Hope this helps!

I have some similiar experience with the tv. the problem that you are experiencing sounds just like mine. in my case, i suspect the cracking sound is from the left side rear when you are facing the tv. there is a difuser like ventilation outlet on my tv. it sound did like there is excessive amount of heat coming out or something that cause the plastic in that general area to generate a cracking sound. Is this what you are experiencing? have you called samsung and if they provide any resolution to the matter?

I had the same problem, the flatscreen LCD TV made a loud crack or pop every few miutes, very annoying.I had a COX HD box (digital cable box from cable company) and had to unplug the box wait about fifteen seconds, then plug it in again. Had several days to weeks until I had to unplug the box again and then plug it in again.The pop was from some static created in the box and passed to the sound unit of the HDTV. Nothing to do with hot plastic.

I didn't notice anything other than the usual, new plastic smell. If you're sensitive to that, that might bother you but I didn't find it unpleasant at all.
