Since you say you wish you could turn on the fans, an air cleaner would have done the same thing.
The buzz has very interesting properties. Ie: I can't hear it at 6ft, but I can hear it at 12 ft. If I sit on my couch and lean forward it is less noticeable than if I lean back against the couch. It is very directional, and I think varies greatly depending on orientation of the set, room acoustics, etc. From my reading, viewing and research, I believe all the sets have buzzing, and depending on the above factors and personal feelings, it may or may not be annoying.
One thing I can attest to, doing a direct side-by-side comparison at lunch today (with a very well lit room), is that the A750 LCD that I'm trying out not only doesn't buzz, but hands down, no-questions-asked OBLITERATES the Kuro for black levels in a well lit room. Off-angle and pitch black room is another story, but its something that has to be considered, as I don't have a dedicated home cinema room for this TV....(and if I did, I'd be getting a Projector).

oh, and one issue I'm having is not being able to pick up any over-the-air signals, analog or digital. I've scanned I don't even know how many times now and it comes back with nothing. I get an error telling me to "check my antenna," but how do I do that? Isn't it built in?
I can't even manually add channels. Nothing comes up for either. I don't have cable in the room (yet), but I'd still just like to see what "TV" looks like on this thing. The thing is the junky TV that's in the kitchen that has one of those digital converter boxes for it picks up channels.
the atsc/digital, ntsc/analog, qam/cable tuners are built in,
as natrone mentioned you would need to connect some sort of uhf/vhf antenna to the set then scan for channels. reception can vary alot depending on your location/distance from the broadcast towers plus geography etc so you may need to try different, bigger, higher outside antennas to get better reception.

Here's hoping they can get this display working soon...I've been jonesing for a decent TV for a while!

I use STANDARD for normal broadcast viewing. Contrary to what one person reports on here, everyone else confirms that it is NOT 24FPS. And I use OFF for when I want 24FPS.

I thought the 'Advance' mode will display at 72Hz regardless of signal, so I guess thats the mode you're looking for.
I also have a question for D-nice. In your Service Menu Adjusted Reference Settings, why do you recommend PC setting to be 'standard'? Since you won't be getting 72Hz refresh rate on that mode per your tests, wouldn't it be better to have it in 'off" mode all the time? This way you can have both 60Hz for 3:2 pulldown content and 72Hz for 3:3 pulldown without having to switch between PC settings when you watch 1080/24P and non 1080/24P content.
I know exactly what display I'm talking about. I've already calibrated 72 9G non-Elites.
Answer this question with a YES or NO...
Do you have a device that shows you the refresh rate of a display? In English, that means can it tell you per a readout what the current refresh rate is?
And before you even attempt to skip over the question, the refresh rate MATTERS when it comes to 1080p/24. Any display can smooth out film judder as long as it can do 3:2 pulldown and that included a 1080p/24 signal.
bmwolf knows there are two types of judder.... you being stuck on stupid fail to realize that. And for the record you cannot tell the refresh rate of a display with a camera. You can only attempt to sync the camera with the pulldown....which works sometimes and sometimes does not.
no, the Kuros will only display 60hz when a 60Hz tv signal is received, you cannot use the Advance mode to get it to display 72Hz from the 60hz broadcast signal.

Yeah, page 74 lists all the PC modes, and they are all 60Hz, which is frustrating, because I *know* it can do 72Hz, and would save my eyes from bugging out when I have my PC connected and surfing the web.

If it can, I haven't found a way to force it through control panel on my video card.. I suppose it could be a limitation of the HDMI input on my receiver (Pio 1018).. I can try a direct connection to the tv tonight and see if there is a way to force it to display 75Hz

I'll give it a try when I get home tonight. There's an annoying refresh rate issue with ATI drivers and Windows 7 and I think forcing 75hz would clear it up.. (it always goes back to 1080i@30hz on bootup instead of 1080p@60Hz)
