Toshiba 44NHM84 Fan/Color Wheel Noise

I've had this unit for 3 days now and love everything about it apart from excessive fan/color wheel noise. The fan I can live with, but the color wheel (possibly the bulb itself?) is starting to drive me crazy. The sound is very high pitched -- much like a halogen light slightly dimmed. When the volume is up moderately, you don't notice it too much but on quiet passages, it is definitely there.

The Samsung (43" DLP) I returned for this model (nice unit, had the audio synch issues that I couldn't resolve after 3 weeks) was whisper quiet by comparison.

Apart from this noise issue, the TV has met almost every criteria I have -- except for this one little (ok big) issue. I would really hate to return this based on such a seemingly simple thing. I'm hoping that this is maybe a minor defect that can be resolved, or that there is something that can be done.

I'm looking forward to hearing from other 44NHM84 owners

Bring your question to below thread. Fan/Color wheel noise is not a common problem for 44NHM84. You may have a defective unit.

Some color wheels do that. The replacement will have better bearings. Call your factory warranty folks and set up a service time. It's an easy swap.

I notice a slight high pitched sound for a second or two when I turn the unit on, but whisper quiet after that. Mine is also only 3 days old...
