Advise on Heat Build up inside TV ....

[salvasol]

I need your help !!!! .... I had this situation with another TV (Magnavox); I didn't pay any attention to that, but maybe because I been reading this forum a lot ... I'm more picky now
This is what is happening: after the TV has been on for more than 30 minutes, from time to time it makes a popping noise (like when you heat something and it causes to expand) I'm not sure but I think that's the problem, that the TV is building up heat inside and that makes the plastic to contract and expand, and that produces the popping noise ...... I bought a small fan (8") to help difuse the heat, but I couldn't stand the noise .... so I'm not sure if the problem is the heat or what????
Anybody has this noise???? .... Any advise???? .....Air circulation is acceptable, the TV fan openning is abouth 10-12" from wall, and I'm not using any cabinet to prevent the air to flow around the TV. Like I said before, now I pay more attention to details ...
thank to all of you

Is this is a tube tv? If so, and the popping isn't continuous, but rather once in a while, it sounds normal to me.

Is the Samsung DLP HL-S6767W, I don't think is a tube TV .... but I think the heat may be produced by the lamp. What do you think I can do to reduce this noise that is starting to annoy me ... maybe because I know is there and I'm paying more attention .... I try to ignore it, but suddenly in the middle of a movies .... the sound pops When I'm using the surround you hardly notice because of the volume ... but when watching TV at night with the TV speakers you notice more.
Imagine, watching a scary movie ..... and suddenly this noise pops .... hopefully, I wont hit the ceiling:holycow: :raped:

I'd call their technical support to see if it is a recognized issue.
