We bought this television 10/29/03 ... exactly one year later it died. The screen is completely black and the sound chops in and out. I really would expect more out of Zenith. The pictured started to fail after it was about 10 months old ... squiggly lines on and off. Thank goodness we purchased the optional service plan. Otherwise, we would be stuck with the repairs. I'm hoping this one is just a lemon. Otherwise, we will be having it repaird annually ... ridiculous!

I have had this TV for about three years. Overall it works fine, however it does make some high-pitched buzzing static noises which I find unbearable. I saw on some of the other posts that changing the cables might have an effect. I tried this and in the process, I noticed that just applying pressure on certain places on the back of the TV enables me to reduce the static noise. I noticed two screws on the back of the TV just above the AV connector panel. I loosened each 1/4 turn and then fully tightened each one. The buzzing noise went away. I hope it stays away. If it comes back, I will try this process again and maybe move this heavy beast and search out other screws. This appears to be related to weakened RF grounding that gets improved by loosening and retightening the screws.

This TV has a horrible buzzing noise that you can hear constantly even with the volume turned up. Even when the TV is in the standby mode (no picture) you can hear the buzz. The only time it doesn't is if you turn the set completely off. I would not recommend buying this TV and am sending it back.
