Viewsonic N2700W 27-Inch HDTV-Ready Flat-Panel LCD TV
The fan noise is louder than the TV...
I have had this thing 2 days. A loud fan noise was emitting from the TV. After calling Viewsonic customer service they explained it was coming from the power supply, and yes, it is very noisy. They had no remedy, The power supply is integrated into the power cord. I cut a hole into the back of a very substantial dresser we have it in and it still sounds like the heater in the house is on. The odd part of this is they do not use this in the 20 inch TV beneath it or the 30 inch TV above it. I suspect they have a serious design problem and are well aware of it. When I asked what would happen if the fan clogs from dust, failure or otherwise, the tech explained he \\"doubted\\" it would overheat enough to cause a serious problem. Rather it would just cause a failure to the transformer. Which after a year could be a serious problem. Both for safety and cost. At least if it fails it would be so quiet in the house you would probabky know it.  <br />The remote on this (we think) is also defective. They are sending another to determine if it is that or the tuner. All in all this looks to be a real problem now and in the future. If you don't mind the sound of a turbine fan or the possibility of overheating causing a failure in who knows what then this might be for you. It is not for me and I am going to take steps to relieve myself of it.
