Hi guys, Im looking to change my current plasma in a few weeks time to the PANASONIC TH42PZ81B and I need some advice.
I had identified the Panasonic as an ideal replacement especially with its in built Freesat receiver but have been alarmed to read a couple of customer reviews on the reevoo website which make mention of a loud buzzing noise from the cooling fans.
I am now having serious reservations with regards to this purchase based on my previous experiences.
My first plasma 2.5 years ago was the Hitachi 42PD 9700 of which I swapped several models and eventually had to get rid of because they made a loud high pitched whining noise (this has been widely documented on numerous posts within A V forums).
I swapped this model for a Pioneer PDP 4270 XD but that turned out to suffer from dirty screen effect which has also been commented on widely within the A V forums (it is particularly annoying when watching football as it shows up especially against a green background such as a football pitch).
As you can imagine Im anxious not to repeat the previous mistakes made and need to get an idea if this loud buzzing is a common or known problem so I can make an informed decision. To be fair to my current Pioneer it makes a buzzing noise at an acceptably low level i.e. can only hear it if youre up close to the set.
