Popping noises and other weird sounds: Acer AT3265 32-Inch 1080p LCD TV Is anyone having problems with their tv making popping noises, randomly turning off, sound randomly turning off, or the sound becoming a loud crackling while the show is still on?

I'm having the same problems... googling the nets for solution and came across your post first.

I have the same problem too. I just bought this LED 55 in for 2 months and it is making horrible buzzing sound. With the backlight setting to 10, the sound is very obvious, and it will get louder as I watch TV longer, like more than 1 hour.I bought service warranty with Frys, the technician came in and tried to replace the power supply because he thought it was the problem. Turn out the problem was not caused by the power supply but the TV itself he said.I just opened a ticket against Samsung, the Engineer will come over next week to take a look.

I'm really interested in hearing what you found. We just got a new Samsung TV and it has the same problem.

Mine's been fine for months; thank God! Are you making sure to totally shut the TV off when not in use?

Have they resolved this issue yet? I am thinking about buying this TV, and would like to know if they resolved this issue.

Grain/noise is native to plasmas, Panasonics especially it seems. I changed my tv and blu ray player setting to 24p for watching blu rays and like the improved picture. Give it a try and see how you like it.

Hello, Did you ever figure this out? I just bought this TV last night and I'm very happy with it, but I use a surround sound system and have to keep the TV volume on 0. There should be a way to turn the speakers off - right? Thanks for any info.

Does the TV make a clicking sound also? You may want to look in the back first and see if there are any capacitors with cracked tops. If so, this will likely work.

I swear that I had a discussion about this (some thread somewhere else) ... either way, my problems have been fixed by switching to another TV (Hannspree 42") i'll try to find the thread and post it here

Mine, too, made a loud pop every time I turned it on. However, it was working otherwise until it lost connection to the subwoofer and started making the clicking (or popping) noise every second or so. None of my ideas for addressing the problem worked except for returning the unit to Amazon, which I am doing.

No issues here, been using for 7 months now. However, I noticed one day my HD was horrible quality, and it started freezing and jitters. I tried to troubleshoot it all around on the TV settings and no luck, then I did a reset on the HD cable box and it was fixed!

When mine was first installed, my electrician said I would hear some noises (something like a popping noise) after the unit shuts off and that would be normal. I'm not sure why. I've had mine installed for over 7 months and have not had any issues with it. I don't know for sure if it no longer makes the noise, or if it stops after a time.

I had the same problem, the flatscreen LCD TV made a loud crack or pop every few miutes, very annoying.I had a COX HD box (digital cable box from cable company) and had to unplug the box wait about fifteen seconds, then plug it in again. Had several days to weeks until I had to unplug the box again and then plug it in again.The pop was from some static created in the box and passed to the sound unit of the HDTV. Nothing to do with hot plastic.

Hi Andre.That was a number of months ago - did they ever "update" the TV, and did that solve the "lip sync" issue? I seem to be very sensitive to lip sync issues- I notice them all the time - if any channel is off by a fraction of a second, it really annoys me.

When I called tech support back in October, they described the functionality as I stated in my earlier post. I guess I got lucky and got a tech that knew what he was talking about.I am, however, getting a intermittent popping noise now from the rear of the TV... It has always been there, but it finally started bothering me enough. My local warranty service provider will take my TV set again this evening to attempt to fix the problem. Evidently there is a new kit for it.

You know, it's kinda funny because I started this discussion because I was so worried about the picture of my new tv. Our picture so far is great, however, it was the sound that crapped out within only days. It has a lot of static and you have to turn it up really loudly to even hear it now. It is still within the 90 return time, so it will be going back the first chance we get. Now I am worried about if the new tv that we get will have anything wrong with it's picture. Other than that we love the tv. There is part of me that wants to slap on some external speakers and not worry about returning it and the hassle.

I bought a 50" 8UK Pannasonic tv a few years back. It had the same problem. So I exchanged it for another one. It also buzzed, but less so, so I kept it. Today, 3(?) years later, it still buzzes - especially on white or bright scenes. I'm seriously considering one of the 42" Panasonic plasmas for my bedroom, but am leaning to an LCD because I really don't want any buzzing/background noise in that smaller room.
