Anyone else have that faint buzzing that comes from behind the monitor every once in a while? The one that stops if you tap the case? What is it?

I figures out it was the disk drive; where you put CDs/DVDs into. I just put a piece of scotch tape over it, and no more buzzing!

Mine doing the same thing. I tapped like you said, and it stopped the noise, thanks for the tip. Probably due to a cheap fan bearing, hopefully it will last for awhile. Toshiba charges $150.00 bucks just to open up the case if you have to get it repaired. I wonder if this is user-fixable.

I have never had that problem. It is probably just your particular monitor. You need to contact Amazon and they will get you another or do something to help you out.

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.

We had the same buzzing sound, it was covered under warranty, they came out and said it was something to do with the speakers. They installed some sort of foam pieces around the speakers and the buzzing stopped.

I have had similar issues and thought it might have ben the monitor itself... the problem is that the HDMI cable was moving ever so slightly as we manipulated our rig and the weight of the HDMI cable itself helped it to wiggle out just a little bit and lose connection. Nothing a little gaffer tape couldn't fix. After figuring out what was going on we have yet to see it lose signal again.Hope This helps!

I've never heard any buzzing or "electrical noise". There's normal fan noise on the higher settings. It's virtually inaudible on the lower two settings.

When the TV it's off it is completely silent. However, as soon as the TV is working you can hear that "buzzing" sound just right out of the box. It is not extremely loud but did bother me.

Mine wasn't at first but it sounds like something is coming loose inside or a bad bearing or something now. I also received an open box item that looked like it was a return. All the nut and bolt packages had been opened also. The monitor never worked either.

Mine makes the same buzzing sound, I have had it for about a year, however, it still works perfectly well. Just hold your finger on the on button for 2 seconds or so, or just press it again for a second to ensure that it is on.

It's an electrical buzz, keep as far away from electrical things, I know this doesn't help when you are WAH call center and need to be by the laptop or desktop. At our old place I had the phone co out about six times and finally a supervisor figured it out.

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 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.

Short answer: try turning it off and then on again every single day. Mine worked great for about a week and then became deafening loud even on the lowest volume setting. I discovered that if I reset the child-end of the monitor, it works great again for about 24 hours before become ridiculously loud again.

J. Jones, Sorry I didn't reply to this eariler.... but did you BUILD the computer yourself? If so did you attach the proper cable from the sound card to the video card to get the sound TO the video card? And if you did, DID you connect it properly? If you didn't build it yourself, did you crack open the case to see if the manufacturer installed thecable and did it properly, AND that it did not come loose in shipping? It's an internal cable, check your manuals. And check the cable itself if all else fails. It may be you've got a bad one.

No buzzing sound and YES the brightness is adjustable. Click the icon in the system tray and select the monitor E1659Fwu, then select settings. An on screen display will have a contrast and brightness setting.
