Does anyone have any issues with the their cable out knob overheating? Mine is hot to the touch and am wondering if it's just my particular tv.

Just got the 3253 after months of research and waiting. I've had audio issues like that but I find if I turn off cable box and turn back on, the problem goes away. Happens every few days. Not sure why. I also used reg rca audio cables that came w/ cable box at first and there was a constant hum. With hdmi, there is no hum, but there are these audio dropouts. But the picture and sound are amazing otherwise. I'm very happy with the tv.

Tom, Like you, have a Samsung HD cable box from TW. Connected HDMI to my Pioneer Plasma. Problem I am having is when changing HD channels picture is scrambling for about 5-10 secs before coming in. Analog stations change without a problem, just in HD. I switched out the box twice, same problem. Had a techinician come over, he switched out the box again, same problem. Put the component connection and works fine. Tells me it's the monitor. Pioneer says that's ridiculous, it's the cable box. I have been reading numerous threads about this problem. It's the TW cable box, it does not have the proper software to support HDMI. You have to call TW up and complain and see if they will fix the problem. R

I don't notice a noise in the speakers until I turn off the tv and leave it on then it makes noise. As for overheating, I just touched the back of mine and the metal is hot but it hasn't overheated yet and it's been in since the day I wrote the post. I'm sorry if that doesn't help

Possibly defective. Had the same problem. I contacted the seller and got a replacement which seems to work fine. It could also be a problem with your TV interfacing with the adapter. My experience is that my old 46" Samsung TV will have issues during playback vs. a newer 32" Sony TV where it works well.

My tv was just picked up! Called Samsung and got the same response they gave you - a repairman would come out and if it couldn't be fixed it would have to be sent away for service. As you, I did not think I needed to have a brand new tv sent out for repair and decided to return it. I am now watching my old 19" set (gave my 26" away when I got the Samsung!). Have you had any luck yet? I am considering Toshiba.

Hi Sandy, sorry to hear you're having problems. Make sure your settings on your television are set properly. Make sure what ever port your cable is plugged into is the same port in your TV settings. If this doesn't correct the problem, feel free to contact PlugLug. Thanks!

This happens on my Panasonic Plasma on rare occasion (3 or 4 times a year.) It also happens with my Vizio LED. I believe its not a TV problem but a cable problem. I have Comcast and sometimes I need to unplug my cable box for a few minutes to re-boot it. Sometimes that works, but more often I'm just getting a bad signal from some unknown link in the chain from a live feed. It annoying but has never lasted. The other 99.9% of the time both TV work great.

Hey Amit,I have had the TV for 4 months, and have almost exclusively played my xbox 360 on it. If there are any burn in issues, I dont see them! I think a little common sense with regards to setting the TV to dim after inactivity, or even shut off (mine does automatically after fifteen minutes of inactivity). Anyway, Ive had no problems! Games look beautiful on this TV, by the way.

May just be overheating like mine was. After I blew dust out of the fan and back compartment of tv, I taped blue switch that is inside lamp compartment cover down and haven't had any problems since. There is a you tube video showing this process

With the old type of LCD CCFL some of them may have got hot. They used fluorescent lamps but led lights burn very cool so I could not see it being an issue on any LED TV unless for some reason the power supply got hot which should not happen.

Hi i just bought this tv and loved it until I turned down the volume and had the same problem. I am returning it unfortunately but for the price it is a steal :-)

I just got them and hooked them up. My plasma is causing interference when bright as well. Does moving the unit away from the tv help? Would like to explore fixes before returning.Thanks

I experience the same thing but not as frequent. I am also having issues with it turning itself off. I was told there is a problem with the power pack inside the TV. it does have a 1year factory warranty but dealing with Vizio CS is a pain. I bought mine from Best Buy abd bought there extended warranty so right now I am waiting for them to receive some more in so they can do a swap for a new one. I happen to like this TV very much but it seems without an extended warranty you might be on your own. Good Luck.

Thanks for your reply. It happens to us when we go from non HD to HD and from HD to HD. Very annoying. We've dropped back to using the component cables, but I sure would like to use the HDMI. I was hesitant about complaining to Samsung, since our cable is so sketchy, but now I think I will.
