My bf just bought a Panasonic 42' Viera & it's a good thing I saw about adjusting the settings since he plays video games sometimes on it. I live on the 2nd level of a condo unit & besides the plasma we have a Samsung 32' LCD. The 1st Samsung LCD we had made a buzzing sound so we took it back & got a new one. The 2nd one's been fine so far. My questions to you are... 1. I have the LCD in the bedroom on a tall stand angled by my window. Will buzzing occur over time if I keep it in this spot? 2. I am afraid that the Plasma might develop a buzzing over time. Could this happen since I'm on a 2nd level condo unit? Please let me know. Thanks. Randomly stumbled on this site & very informative.

But it seems like i was just misinformed. My last 29" sylvania Tv from sears is about to go out and that just lasted me 7-8 yrs so if i can get a good quality picture that last 5-6 yrs or more, it would make me a happy man. I think im going to start looking into a plasma, thanks for the info. good day I am looking to buy a new flat screen and b4 looking at your site had been putting the plasmas a side not even considering them because i had been told that i would get a short lifespan with a plasma.

I'm planning to purchase a 42" plasma TV between Panasonic and LG in the same price. Which one is better? By the way, 1) what is the difference of Panasonic 42" plasma G, S and X series (TH-P42@10K)? 2) How to diffentiate PDP with Lead and Lead-free? 3) Heard from the Panasonic sales man saying that the above series had already overcome the burn in mark with "auto white wash" feature, is that true? I'm so looking forward Guru or anyone there who can help on my questionaires. Appreciate so much. Thank you. Hai Guru,

I saw an RCA model that said it had a built in HDTV tuner. How does that work? I have digital cable hooked up. Would I have to order HDTV from my cable company but not get their HDTV box because the TV already has a tuner? Should I not get that TV because I will have to go thru my cable company anyway and they will give me the proper equipment? Thank you for taking the time to help me.

This past May while watching TV heard a small pop and what looked like an ink blot started to spread across the screen from the upper left corner and the picture soon vanished although it was not dark. A large crack was visible--but not on the outside. The company first offered to replace the Tv but has sinced said they cannot and will "buy back" the TV instead. They first had a local repair shop pick it up to examine. They concluded it could not be repaired and reported that to Phillips. I am stil waiting for the "buy back" and would like to understand what happened, why and what type TV I should purchase. Is this a common problem, a fluke, caused by any conditions in my cable service or home? I purchased a Magnavox 42″ Plasma HD TV in March of 2008.

I love the picture in HD and blue-ray movies are great! The only thing i am worried about is playing video games. When i turn the contrast down below 50 or so, the picture quality is not that great. Is there anything i can do to prevent burn in other than turning down the contrast so much? If i limit the playing time will that help? Thank you for your help! Hey Guru,
