Popping noise when you turn on 4069FX I just purchased the 4069FX a couple of weeks ago and the picture quality is great. However, whenever I turn on the tv after not using it for awhile, it makes some popping noise. It sounds like the tv is going to blow up or something. Maybe it's too much current, bad electricity, speaker??? I'm not sure but would like to know if anyone else is experiencing this issue.I've called Amazon customer support and their tv department is going to call me back.I will keep everyone posted.Thanks.

I'm really interested in hearing what you found. We just got a new Samsung TV and it has the same problem.

hi i bought this tv and got it last wednesday and i notice when i have the picture on dynamic that the buzzing is so distracting i can harldy watch and then somewhat better on standard and then hardly noticeable on movie mode. I dont really like the picture on movie mode though.

I've had the same problem. Amazon is replacing the set. Update: got the new set. It has similar problems, but not often. Trying to determine if this is due to quirky inputs (ie, Apple TV2 being being turned on, and camera plugged into AV input). Happy otherwise, probably will keep the set. Another update: blinking on start up continues, poster on another thread mentioned hdmi handshaking problems on other hdtvs- sounds like what I've got. Trying to decide whether to keep the set, since people have said TCL has terrible customer service. I don't want to get stuck with it after the return period. Note: if i change inputs then go back go the apple tv that fixes the problem.

Thanks for checking this for me! Yeah, I've been checking out the 4061 as well, but right now they are very close in price, so I thought it would be nice to bump up in CR and get the better sound (especially sine I won't be hooking up surround in this location - above fireplace in LR.) The 4066 sold by Worst Service has the exact same panel, but the sound is not as good since they ditch the side speakers to narrow it. Not worth it. I'll probably go with the 4061 since I know it'll fit and also seems to be an outstanding TV.

Can you tell me what exactly worked? I just started looking into buying this television and am not following your blog. It would make me crazy if I had this problem because I've always had it with my Toshiba Plasma, which I'm replacing.

I received my replacement about a week ago. I turned on the TV, and there it is again - the buzzing sound exists. That's two TVs, and both are the same. I do admit that the picture quality and everything else is very good. I'll probably return this, and go with another model.

I qould contact samsung right away and inform them of teh situation...from what I have read (AVS Forums) they will send a technician out and if they determine there is a buzz they do have a solution...anyone looking for more info I would suggest going to AVS forums and reading the thread about this TV....be warned...its long....longer than whoadies vag.

Mine just went out today. I purchased it in the beginning of November. Trying to decide if I should see if Amazon will refund me and buy a different TV or just get it replaced by Vizio. I'm a little worried about the longevity, since it went out so quickly and others are experiencing the same problem.Loved the TV until it picture went out on me. I still have a 32" Vizio that's about 6 years old running strong.

It sounds like the tv is defective or the sleep timer is set for 15 mins. Does the tv make any noise or show any pixelation? I've had my tv for over 2+ years and never had a problem with it

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 use this tv daily and i have not experienced this at all. I think you should call sharp and get their take on this.

I have not experienced that problem at all with mine! It's been a great tv so far.

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

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 also called Samsung & they referred me to a local company. They want $90 just to come out but since we can't afford to fix it right now, we have been waiting. I have read a lot of people having this issue but samsung denied it. It's a shame that a fairly new tv is having such problems. I guess that they don't make them like they use to! Let me know if you get a tech out there & the outcome. I know mine will have to wait, no job, no money.

Mine, too, made a loud pop every time I turned it on. However, it was working otherwise until it lost connection to the subwoofer and started making the clicking (or popping) noise every second or so. None of my ideas for addressing the problem worked except for returning the unit to Amazon, which I am doing.

Best bet is to take the TVs apart - find the bulged out capacitors and replace them with a higher rating capacitor - that's what I did on mine and it has being going strong ever since!There are lots of videos on YouTube about replacing the capacitors, and also a lot of people who have no respect for Samsung because of this issue!
