Sony KD-28DX50 'Smart' Picture Problems

Having just bought a Sony KD-28DX50 television, I was playing with the picture formats that are available.

All choices work fine apart from the 'Smart' view mode that gives off an extremely high pitched noise similar to tinnitus.

Is it that there is a problem with the aerial I have ( the sound comes from the tv and does not go if the volume is reduced) or a problem with the tv or no problem at all but a quirk of the model.

I am reluctant to send it back to the supplier (Digital Direct) as they are going to sting me for arounf £15 each way for delivery.

Any help would be appreciated

Smart mode uses a couple of little transformers to 'bend' the picture at the edges... these transformers are wire wound up tightly... sometimes transformers hum or sing (vibrate)... it's most likely this that your TV is suffering from.

Sometimes these noises disappear after the TV has run for a while, sometimes reducing Contrast levels (from the Factory setting of 99%!) can help too (and give better pictures)

I'd try it for a few days and see if it goes away...perhaps DIgital Direct have an arrangement for a local repair centre to carry out repairs?

Or don't use Smart mode... I've used it once... and that was once too many times

Thanks for the advice.

I did try it but it was still there and am in two minds whether to keep it or send it back because I never use the SMART mode.

Cheers
