New member Username: AvsfanPost Number: 1 Registered: Jan-05 | I've had this unit for 3 days now and love everything about it apart from excessive fan/color wheel noise. The fan I can live with, but the color wheel (possibly the bulb itself?) is starting to drive me crazy. The sound is very high pitched -- much like a halogen light slightly dimmed. When the volume is up moderately, you don't notice it too much but on quiet passages, it is definitely there. The Samsung (43" DLP) I returned for this model (nice unit, had the audio synch issues that I couldn't resolve after 3 weeks) was whisper quiet by comparison. Apart from this noise issue, the TV has met almost every criteria I have -- except for this one little (ok big) issue. I would really hate to return this based on such a seemingly simple thing. I'm hoping that this is maybe a minor defect that can be resolved, or that there is something that can be done. I'm looking forward to hearing from other 44NHM84 owners |
