The big topic on the AVSforums.com GV47LF thread is now audio sync problems with the TV. Some posters are claiming the sound is lagging behind the picture. There is some argument about the source of the problem. Is it the TV or the HDTV signal? One forum poster is claiming it not only occurs on over-the-air broadcasts but also with a DVD player he has connected directly into the TV. When he plugs the DVD player into his stereo receiver, the sound problem goes away. Another poster theorized that the TV is lagging while trying to convert the digital signal into a analog signal for the TV’s speakers.
Some posters are claiming they’ve had the audio boards in their TVs replaced, yet they are still having the problem. One poster said he became so frustrated, he returned the TV and went with another brand. This is not really deterring me form purchasing this TV, because some appear to be completely happy it. Besides, Costco has a 90-day return policy.
