hello, I have the HD50LPW175. After 6 months I had the same buzzing sound. I call rca and the send it to one of there service center and they change the color wheel. After receiving the set back the color was bad. After about 6 months It went out, I send it back and they changing the lamp it went out 2 months later. I would not advise anyone to by this TV… I have had this TV from feb, 2006 till now

If my dlp tv makes a horrible noise while it is on, could that be the bulb? Even if you mute it, the noise is still there, when you turn it on the noise starts as soon as you get a picture and when you shut it off as soon as the picture goes black the noise stops. It is a real high pitch squeely noise, thanks

I just ‘inherited’ the HD50LPW151, and the noise drives me crazy; although the wife and kids say they can tune it out. I don’t think it’s the colour wheel. When you turn off the set, and after the picture fades from blue to off, the fan is still spinning, and that’s what I hear. (the colour wheel makes more of a distinct whirling/whining sound that’s evident when firing up the set; but then it’s okay). I’m going to take a chance and try to change the fan. I’ve read on some sites it might be the bearings on the fan that are shot. I’m sure hoping it’s as simple as that, since I can watch this set for more than 30 minutes! Even for zero cost to me, I’m dumping this set if I can’t resolve the problem for under $200.

RCAs are notorious for faulty color wheels. The sound is a ballbearing going bad... Think of tiny metal balls grinding against eachother. That's the screeching you're all hearing.
Color wheel... Final answer.
