I'm looking into buying a plasma set (40-50" range) and here in Boulder (CO) there is a real noise problem on most models. Turns out that the high altitude causes some problem resulting in a great deal of buzzing noise. The only unit I've found not having this problem is the Pioneer Elite series (ouch, expensive).
Anyone else know about this problem and if there is a way to correct it other than buying the elite series?

Unfortunately, the solution is too expensive for most people. Altitude is one problem that plasma may never overcome at a price that's acceptable for everyone.
As you get lower in altitude (from where you are), plasmas buzz less. Where I live in LA, we're 6ft below sea level so I actually buzz more than the plasmas do.

- funny though, the elite seems to have a solution - chris e. 01:21:10 12/11/03 (4)
  I suspect we'll end up buying the pioneer elite unit since they seem to have the solution in place. Funny problem this altitude stuff. How does NEC deal with it? Oh, and I used to live in LA (south bay) and didn't buzz, just glowed a bit.

    LA = Louisiana

      Sorry -- but to anyone west of the Mississippi LA is Los Angeles. I had heard that there was a state in the southern part of the US with the name of Louisiana but wasn't certain...
      (oh, but the eating in New Orleans is unsurpassed!)

        New Orleans is a shithole .
        And that's from someone who was born in New Orleans and spent 20 years of his life there.
        As for LA, I knew I should have typed out Louisiana.

        Oh, but the food might be worth the rest of the hassle - I have a friend teaching at tulane who left NY to go there about 10 years ago and won't leave because of the food. Go figure.
        For me, it is a bit too humid and rainy...this is why I spend 1/2 my time in London!??!
