 AVOID THIS TV (and Samung Products in general)! |
| Review Date: July 7, 2010 |
| Reviewer: A. Burns, |
I purchased this TV on 11/24/2008, Amazon shipped it on 11/25/2008, and Samsung said the TV was manufactured on 11/30/2008. I was happily using this TV for 584 days, until the screen suddenly washed out and went photo-negative. There are SEVERAL other commentators who have also had this problem, yet Samsung doesn't acknowledge it as a "known issue". There is a video on youtube describing and documenting this issue.
To sum up why you should avoid this TV (if not this brand):
Here's a list of others experiencing the same issue:

Avoid this TV, and after attempting to deal with Samsung I'd recommend avoiding them as well. |
Garbage, literally, after 18 months.

Sound was always horrible--had to add speakers. The picture was good, but now there is no picture. Just a white screen.
If reviews were written down the line, instead of right after purchase, it would help more people. A $700 TV, garbage after 18 months! Ironically, I researched like mad before buying this.
When it comes to electronics, I guess a one-year warranty is standard but it shouldn't be. We live in an expensive, disposable world. Now, I'll have to pay to bring it to a recycling center, to add injury to insult. |

We're having this issue: [...] Google and youtube turn up others who also have this problem.
Local repair guy reports that the problem is a circuit board that is internal to the panel (i.e. the screen) touching a metal part of the inside of the panel. Other HDTVs have spacers around the circuit board to keep this from happening. This TV does not.
I would strongly advise against buying this TV. |
Disappointed with the TV durability!

I bought this model in Jan 2009 for its apparent picture quality. For an year I had no issues with the picture/sound quality. It worked like a charm. The picture was crisp and colors were vibrant.
Just after over an year it I started seeing issues with the display where I kept seeing photo-negative like images on the screen. Its as if the TV knew to wait till the warranty expires ;-) This started as a temporary issue and used to go away after shaking the screen every time I start the TV. As if that was annoying enough one day even the shaking stopped working. Now my TV screen looks like a photo negative image. I contacted Samsung and they would fix it for a hefty sum. I am really disappointed by the quality especially since I bought it for the same reason. This really reduces my trust in the Samsung brand. I would stay away from this model. Heck, youtube even has a video of the exact same problem someone else is facing for the same model. Search for "samsung lcd tv photo negative". |

I did a lot of research before buying, but honestly am NOT overly proud of this TV. The picture is good but the SOUND is pitiful. I had to buy a surround system to get anything remotely decent in the sound department from it. If you buy this (or probably many other models) check out the sound and PLAN on also having to buy a surround system with it.
