Digital camera reviews of Samsung LNT3253H 32-Inch LCD HDTV
Digital camera Review: Loud Hissing Noise
Summary: 1 Stars
My two-month old TV has now started making a loud hissing sound that starts about 1 hour into viewing. Nothing will stop it until I turn it off. It's definitely the TV and not the cable hook-up because I have unplugged the cable and the TV still makes the noise. The sound is like like the whistling noise a tea kettle makes when it's boiling--which means it is very loud and very annoying.
Right now my brand new $900 Samsung TV is nothing more than a very expensive dust collector until it's fixed--and I am not happy about that one bit! I am so sick of modern technology not working! My cheap old $100 Walmart tube TV works better than this.
When I purchased this Samsung reviews were stellar and I didn't think twice about buying it. Now I am reading all sorts of similar hissing and buzzing complaints. Well but for the loud hissing sound, I would have given the TV a 5-star review too based on the picture quality and features.
Since this technical issue is not happening on every TV all I can say is if you buy it, cross your fingers and hope you are one of the lucky ones--for two months I thought I was. I hope Samsung can fix my TV and doesn't make me ultimately regret not purchasing the Panasonic TV I was looking at that also received rave reviews.
UPDATE: Samsung did fix my TV under warranty. I called Samsung. Samsung put me in touch with a local TV repair shop. Service shop picked up my TV and kept it for about two weeks to repair. Returned it with hissing supposedly fixed. A day later hissing started again. Called Samsung back to complain. Samsung sent the TV service shop another work order. Service tech came by and said he had the parts to fix it right then. An hour later, TV was fixed. Haven't had a single problem since (it's now the end of July).
The TV tech said Samsung used the wrong part on some models which causes the hissing. Replace the part (which he did) and hissing should cease immediately (which mine did).
Based on my experience, I would buy a Samsung again. Great warranty service.
Digital camera Review: Fantastic HD TV
Summary: 5 Stars
What an excellent transaction! Great price for a superb TV. Delivered and set-up in 5 days. I saw this 720p TV right next to a Sharp 1080i and the Samsung was a much better picture. I highly recommend the TV and Amazon. No phone calls from sales people trying to sell you extended warranties, cables, etc. Digital camera Review: chirping cricket noise in my LN-T3253H
Summary: 2 Stars
After trying two new power supplies, my lnt3253h still chirps like a cricket on the 480i channels. Not on the 720i or 1080i channels. On a 480i channel, you mute the sound and can hear it clearly. In all fairness, the repair service (Kansas City area) people were nice, and did reduce the amount of sound somewhat. Guess we are going to call them back...
Digital camera Review: Sound problem
Summary: 4 Stars
Pretty good deal! The first one I got I changed it because of the sound problem , but the second one is much better. I purchased with AMEX and that will give me an additional ONE year warranty, so I feel comfortable about the purchase. Overall, this 32" LCD TV is a great investment, just pay attention to the sound quality from the beginning!Digital camera Review: Caution: Migranes Ahead
Summary: 2 Stars
This is my second Samsung. I bought it based on positive experience with my first 26" Samsung. Anyway, shortly after setup, a high-pitched squeeling noise developed. It wasn't noticable all the time, but it kept returning under various conditions. It seemed to come from the lower left hand side from rear of the unit. Besides squealing, the stand leaned to the left and no adjustments available. Overall, nice picture, beautiful design, easy to use, but the screeching will give you a migrane. Returned it and bought a 32" Sony Bravia XBR (KDL32XBR4) for a few $$ more. Be sure to look for the XBR4 model because it has Motionflow 120Hz speed and 10-bit processing. HD is absolutely amazing on the XBR4. The KDL32XBR4 is by far the best 32" set on the market. Check it out and compare the Sony side-by-side before you purchase this 32" Samsung.
