Sony KV32FX66 - buzzing problem

[Mr Chuffy]

Has anyone who has had this problem managed to get hold of a set that doesn't buzz? UI've read all the threads relating to this buzzing issue and can't find anyone who has managed to get it resolved.
I just bought my tv from webelectricals (good service) and am extremely happy with the telly except for the buzzing, which is more of an irritation than a big problem. However I'm damned if I'm spending nearly £1000 on something to have to put up with a querk like that. I don't want any other set, and currently webelectricals are sending a replacement (within next 10 days). However I've got to say I'm not convinced that this will sort it after reading other peoples posts!

Anyone out there with a non-buzzing KV32FX66>???

To put you mind at slight ease, my first FS76 didn't buzz, but second did...so there is hope that not ALL Sonys do this.

BTW I hear that this is a bad thing that it buzzes, power supply not done properly

Buzzes here - can hear it from about 8 ft away when sound low, but not too low. V.annoying for a £1000+ set.

hi.. good timing on your post... the saga of my buzzing sony kv32ls60 moved on today.. with john lewis delivering the replacement... and the buzzing on this one is worse... so it'll be going back..

Maybe Sony's aren't for me after all.. er.. any silent gems anyone can recommend?

I've had my KV32FX66 for 3 months now. It has never made any kind of buzzing sound. So it is apparently possible to get "lucky".

Thanks for the feedback. It seems there is some hope after all then!
BTW as regards the geometry problem that others have mentioned I have found a slight bend downwards on this set in the top right hand corner but it is less than significant and for 99% of the time I can't tell.
My opinion of this set is generally very high. I would still recommend it even with the buzz. More reviews in popular mags would be nice though to get an idea of what the "professionals" think!

MY set does not buzz at all, can only hear a minor buzz when i litteraly put my head against the back of the tv with mute on!

But mine suffers from the horizontal bowing effect at the top and bottom of the screen, which i've been unable to fix in the service menu. See my other post " 32fx66 - Geometry Query"

Got my second set delivered yesterday.. Guess what..still buzzes. Also I've noticed another problem now which is that on pure white backgrounds the colour seems "dirty" on the far left hand side of the screen. Its not pure white all across. ANNOYING!!!! I never noticed this on my last set!
Looks like I'm gonna have to order another replacement.

...No buzz on mine. Had the TV a few weeks now.

my LS60 buzzes as soon as it's switched on but goes away after about 5 mins.
