Buzz is really drastically different between these two plasma TV sets

by Peter
(Evergreen, CO)



After several months with the Samsung B860, the buzz was intolerable. It was clearly audible from 12 feet away, and very directional. It would drive any audiophile crazy.

I replaced this set with the V10 Panny and it is quiet as a dead mouse. I can almost hear a faint buzz if I put my ear to the set, but there is no buzz audible from a few feet away.

The Samsung plasmas do not work above 6000 feet, that is the real issue. I live at 7800 feet. Samsung is slowly responding and supposedly pulling these sets from the mountainous regions, above 6000 feet.

I don't know how they compare at sea level, but be aware this is a real issue and not just a "normal" buzz, it is very loud.

by: john


I bought the Samsung 860 and the picture was amazing, however, after reading reviews on it (after I already bought it), I noticed many people had the buzzing issue.

I then noticed my TV had a slight buzzing noise as well and I live in L.A. (sea level). To pay $2300, I want a perfect TV. I took it back and got the Panasonic V10. I love my V10, however, if there was no apparent buzz on the 860, I would prefer that one because I think the picture on the Samsung 860 is just very slightly sharper.
