Oops!  Typo!  I meant to say "Is it possible that most of the really
noisy ones are Class A...".  My point was to ask if the reason Plasma
seems to be noisier is because:
   a) The technology is just noisier
OR
   b) The plasma manufacturers are skimping on quality more 
OR
   c) More plasma displays being sold are Class A than for other TV types
OR
   d) Other

I haven't seen many (if any) non-plasma tv's that are Class A.  Only since
starting to research plasma have I found such a large number of Class A
devices being marketed to home consumers.  This trend is disturbing!  Try
explaining to your neighbor that their brand new $10,000 TV is a Class A
device which is supposed to be used in a commercial/industrial environment!
"But I bought it at Best Buy or Circuit City or ...."
