Samsung LNS3251D 32-Inch LCD HDTV

Great Set Last Year When I ordered it From Amazon based on a Consumer Reports Review saying at the time it was the Best Over-All Value. Decided to Move Up to the 40A650(1080P) and Will Put 32" Set in The Bedroom. Used Amazon's White Glove Delivery and The Entire Process, Including More Than $300 Savings Over My Local Best Buy or Circuit City, Was Without Exception...A Great Value. Highly Recommend! NOTE: In Stock & Ordered From Amazon. Buy Samsung LNS3251D 32-Inch LCD HDTV!

Panasonic TH-42PZ77U 42" 1080p Plasma HDTV

TH-42PZ77U, as of 12/2/08 have owned for 362 days. Now about every 30 seconds hear this loud case popping noise from the rear of the set, seems to have gotten worse in last month. Tech rep coming out next week, will be covered under 1 year warranty. See lots of this complaint on similar Panasonics on the web, some say to get it out of vivid mode and turn down the brightness, others say there is a special kit from Panasonic that has felt pads they install in the case somewhere. Panasonic guy on phone said they all do it but not all the time like I described. It's a thermal problem that is causing the cracking/popping sound of the case. Anyone else have this problem ? Great TV otherwise. Seems to occur more when high motion/graphics are being displayed compared to stationary scenes, probably pulling more current and generating more heat.
