If anyone buys one of these, can you let me know if it buzzes from the back of the unit.

I bought the 42" version when it was on offer for £297 but had to take it back because of buzzing from the back of the panel, particularly noticeable when a white image was on screen. It drove me mad. From googling, Panasonic plasmas seem to suffer badly from this. Shame as the picture was spot on for HD ready.

Buzzing is a problem with plasmas, it shouldnt usually be notiable unless you stick your ear behind the tv

Horizon - turn the volume up! I dunno what you're watching, but I would only ever notice the buzzing on very bright, and very quiet, scenes. Mine even has fans that I never notice.
Anyway, I'd rather buy this TV from Richer Sounds than Tesco...

Be warned that it's not a Full HD panel, nor is it 720, it's an old style 1024x768 resolution, meaning you'll never be watching anything in its native resolution.
