Hi my Samsung 40 inch lcd tv keeps making a low humm sound at high volumes when showing signal from HDMI, COMPOSITE, AND COMPONENT inputs. it gets pretty annoying... is there anything i could to to reduce the humming? Also any tips on how to make normal tv picture look less blocky and pixelated? Thanks!
Damn, I recently purchased 1 of the new style Samsung LCD's I hope I don't experience any of the problems I have heard mentioned in the forum (humming or blocky images). So far so good. It does state in my manual tho that if you're just watching the news or u have the TV on as background noise 2 keep it in standard mode & you most probably should turn off your TV whenever not using it. I guess this is pretty much common sense but it is also something which some people overlook!? :S
A low hum is a pssible sign of electrical problems, usually a nad ground. If the plug for your TV is 3-prong, make sure it is plugged into a 3-prong outlet or ask an electrician about grounding. It could also be a loose 120 VAC contact. Either way, it's bad news. It could also be just interference from the 120 VAC line. Try plugging the TV into line filter - e.g., an Uninterruptable Power Supply. The UPS doesn't need to modern, if you have an old one lying around with a dead battery, it will still work. IF it doesn't clear up, it's probably an electrical problem or something specific to the TV.
