Crackling Noise on PN-50A550 50-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV

Feb 4, 2009 10:17AM PST

I bought a PN-50A550 50-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV in October. Earlier this evening we started getting a sporadic crackling noise. I have read all over that this is a problem with some Samsung TVs and not just with my model. It is very annoying. I contacted Samsung support and they were no help. Do I need to get my TV serviced? PLEASE HELP Mr. Samsung. Timothy

We had an apparently unrelated issue with our cable provider. They reset our box and this problem went away. Thanks Comcast Sad
