Help!! Toshiba and Sony Problems

216.93.71.3

Hi, I'm a newbe so I hope someone here can give me some advice.

Tired of the constant buzzing caused by the TV's RF, coming out of my centre speaker I decided to replace my Samsung flat screen TV.

So, last Saturday I bought a new Sony, KV-27FS100 TV. Got it home and discovered it had geometry problems. The bottom right side of the screen angled down so the scroll bars on the news channels dove to the bottom as the scrolled to the right side of the picture. Back at Best Buys I showed the defect to the salesmen and sure enough all the Sonys had the same problem. So I traded the Sony for the Toshiba, 27AF42.

Got the Toshiba home and after about 2 hours or running I noticed a kind of hum or buzzing in my apartment. A check on all things electronic and I traced it down to the new TV. A check on the web and it seems to a defect several owners have found.

I am now at a loss. I called Toshiba customer assistance and was told they have no way of tracking the problem and all I can do is keep trying till I find one that works. The Toshiba has a much better picture than the Sony, but it doesn't buzz.

Can anybody here point me in the right direction? Is there another manufacturer I could try? The sales people at Best Buys are understand the problems and are willing to work with me to find a working unit.

Thanks in advance.
