i was wondering if its safe to turn off my lcd off from the mains each time ive finished watching tv

the main reason is that this annoying high pitch is on when the tv is on standby, i dont know what it is but its really annoying

Yes its safe, i turn my Samsung lcd off at the mains each night and it doesnt lose any settings.

When i had a Sony RDR-GX210 dvd recorder i used to hear an annoying high pitched sound when it was in standby, i never found out what it was though. fortunatly my samsung lcd tv doesnt have that problem.

well i know mine comes from the back of my set

if u remove the power the sound slowly drains out like its dieing

If it's under Guarantee I would get it checked as it's not normal! it is designed to be left in standby, I have had my LE40M86 for 18 months now & have never heard a sound from it in standby. It sounds like a capacitor draining if it slowly dies when turned off.

ye its just a buzzing sound on standby, not very loud but enough to annoy me

i can fiddle around with setings when the tv is on to make the sound lower but it sohuldnt do it in the first place

I was working for BRMB radio in Birmingham for a few months, a few years ago, and a lot of the younger people were complaining that a monitor was making a hell of a racket. I investigated and found no fault, no extraneous noise whatsoever.

They said it was a high frequency whine so I checked with a sound engineer, who proved that my hearing was no longer sensitive to such a high frequence, but that I had normal hearing.

The young people were with me, and said that they could still hear the test signal, for a further 4-7Khz beyond my own.

So, the answer might be - grow old quickly

Go to a few heavy metal concerts & the problem will soon go away
