I bought about a month ago this TV here at Amazon. The delivery and settlement, as always, absolutely first class - the nice people of Hermes brought the TV without a murmur up to the first floor ... but then about a week later back down because the TV intolerable hinsurrte aloud to himself!
I have previously informed myself among the people in the hi-fi forum, since it was already that there is a large series of scattering in this device (a buzzing louder, the other down). He, however, is to make a great picture, I put my happiness to the test and am unfortunately "fell on the nose."
I am now not squeamish but the buzz was so loud that a normal movie night was not possible. Even from a distance of just under 7m could still hear the humming. The funny thing, however, was the fact that it occurred only in a very specific angle -> you sit straight on Augehnhöhe before the Panel, it hums. But sets you up even one meter left or right from the ideal seating position or goes away with his head three feet up or down, you can hear almost nothing. In addition, of course, you also focuses more on it and it is subjectively louder.
I then even meantime the TV set higher, because I was absolutely convinced of the image (very good black level, great colors) - but I was not really satisfied with the result, as I soon as I got up and went to the dining table back'm, , immediately the sound was in his ears. And the height of just 95cm bottom edge panel was not the truth.
If you want to know now how it sounds about, then go to an old light dimmer, rotate to the lowest level and goes off with your ear - just as it sounds namely!
But who now believes, well, the just had bad luck, which I can only say that I have ventured a second attempt at another store (other production date, another batch) and was equally disappointed! Therefore, I can only assume that either whir much of the now still in circulation devices or whir ALL and that the people that hear are either older and no longer perceive this particular frequency as well or the TV hung above have or sideways offset sit ... or just bad to hear! HEHE! :)
In summary:
+ Image (natural and not so gaudy colorful as the LCD Group)
++ Black Level
+ No Dirty screen effect, extreme afterglow or other image flaws
+ Intuitive operation
++ Very little plasma fibrillation (all plasma flicker - but at a distance from about 70cm one sees it no longer)
--- Terribly loud whirring
- Slight ghosting at 24p playback
Oh, who cares - am now landed at the LG 60PK950 and this is absolutely silent! After various image enhancement settings, which can be found in the AVS Forum, the picture is almost equal to the Samsung, if not a tick better (even when black level).
Am now arrived for my odyssey through 3 TVs, which I had in the meantime are at home (yes looked in the living room almost like in an electrical shop;))
But I want to thank again to Amazon, who have absolutely uncomplicated made the reversal! :)
keep it up!!!
