24" Widescreen with Small Footprint

Bettingmad · 22-01-2004, 8:53 AM

Anybody got a good one?

I was looking at the Toshiba 24Z33 but have been put off that a bit by reading a few comments on here.

Space is limited so the footprint is important.

My parents have the Sony KV-24LS35 PQ is quite OK and no problems, its certainly much better than the Philips and Thomson alternatives they were also considering, it is a littlie bit bigger but still small.

Smallest footprint will be obtained from a Flat Panel. At this size, LCD is the only option. LG, Philips, Panasonic, Samsung, Sony, etc etc etc all make 22 or 23 inch LCDs. A 22 inch LCD is the same visible size as a 24 inch CRT.

They cost more than CRTs, of course. Expect to pay a minimum of around GBP900/1000 at this size.

I don't run to 900.

I'm only human I want the ideal spec but cheap!

That will limit you. All 24 inch WS CRT TVs (and there isn't a huge choice at this size) are pretty much the same dimensions.

Has anyone got a Panasonic TX-24DX1? Any good?

I had a change of mind and went for a Toshiba 24z33.

I've had it nearly a week and all seems OK except last night I noticed a loud buzzing noise. This occurred whenever something really bright came on screen e.g. a woman in a really bright white dress = buzzing, scene switches somewhere else = no buzzing, scene switches back to woman in really white bright dress = buzzing!

What causes this?

Is the buzzing sound coming from the Loudspeakers in the set, or is it originating directly from its innards?

Sounded from the innards near the back...

In that case, it is a line output transformer or a choke or other similar component that is being 'stressed' when the image contains a lot of brightness. CRT TVs have tended to enjoy this behaviour for as long as I can remember.

It sounds like something metallic spinning round
