    It used to be fairly simple when you were going out to buy a TV. If you wanted thin, large screen TVs, you bought an LCD. Plasma always had better black levels and so could offer better image quality but things like refresh rates and how thick they were made them seem a little inferior to LCD. This new generation of Plasma panels has closed the gap significantly and the differences between each technology are making the choice between panels much harder. Read more

    Do not bother with power filter, the buzzing generally comes from having high contrast, samsung's efforts to fix this issue are never ending, have it serviced or replaced again, other things you can try are if the tv is to close to the wall to bring it forward, obviously if its on the wall then its bad luck also drop the contrast to see if the buzzing sound increases or decreases.
