It might not be the set, it might be faulty AC wiring in your house.
No consumer electronics is designed to be "hot". If it is and you have noticed
this on other sets, then maybe your neutral wiring in your outlet is reversed
to normal (on the wrong side of the outlet) or is not grounded properly.

shouldn't make a diff. The equipment shouldn't be "hot" to begin with.

>Other equipment I have owned also produces the effect.

See? sounds like a wiring problem.
