There is zero scientific basis for that assertion, period. There have also been dealers here who have sold hundreds of Samsungs with but a few returned for buzzing. Neither claims are scientific but I can easily make the assertion than statements regarding buzzing here should be taken with a grain of salt. The science portion of this board is something clearly lacking with some of you!
I do agree that most 860 Samsung plasmas do not buzz, but nobody knows the exact % that do (is it 2%, 5%, 10%, or higher?).
Just as you didn't know what the hell you were saying in the previous statements!
This inordinate obsession with bashing Samsung is typical.
Have you spent as much time noting the now frequent posts of buzzing Panasonics?
There are too many posts here in the forum by people who had to return 2 or 3 Samsung plasmas before getting one w/o buzz for it to be "overstated" or "unlikely." I was in BB/Magnolia last week and asked the salesman about it. He told me that the V10 outsells the 860 by a wide margin, that he does not get many returns of the Samsung due to buzz, but does get a lot of calls about the buzz from people who bought the Samsung (sounds like many just don't bother returning it, either because it's not too annoying, or it's just too difficult to return it and they can't be bothered, thus guessing the incidence by the # of returns likely underestimates the true incidence of overly loud buzzing).
Obviously I wouldn't consider any arguments you make here as having any scientific basis to it, just personal rants.
Again the inordinate time spent with concerns about Samsung buzzing. I'm pretty sure your concerns for buzzing didn't extend to Panasonics, or Pioneers who also had a long history here for buzzing but I gather you merely brushed those aside.
It's ok if you don't like Samsung but the obsessive bitterness is transparent! Should I in turn match your bitter rants with talk of Panasonic power up problems, diminishing black levels, and now threads on buzzing!
