Where do you live? Here in Colorado where we start at 5000-feet, just about all Plasma screens emit an annoying buzzing sound, much louder than any raster scan 15KHz from a TV set. Apparently, the gas pressure in a plasma screen is affected by our high altitude and somehow causes this loud buzzing. It varies from brand to brand and even production runs within a brand/model but most are loud enough to be annoying. I'm at 6000-feet which isn't high by our standards but it's high enough that I can't be happy with a buzzing plasma in the living room. ;-(
Follow Ups:
My post was meant to be humorous -- not an all-out endorsement of plasma for everybody.I posted a link a few months back for you. SGHT had some information about what NEC was doing to eliminate the buzzing problem at high altitudes. Unfortunately, it was not an inexpensive solution. Did you get to check it out?
(The link is dead now.)
Hi Joe, if I lived at a lower elevation I would seriously consider plasma and for anyone who can't hear the buzzing at a 'normal' altitude, I think it's the best looking technology available today. Next time I'm in CA I'll visit an electronics store to see if I can hear the buzzing there at sea level. I think LCD technology might be right for me but in a large screen, LCD is even more expensive than a good plasma. So I wait. ;-)
