Bought a 50 inch samsung in 2004. 2007 we had a 200.00 repair for the tuner. This week the repair will be 769.00 for the (engine). We won't do the repair or buy another samsung. So much for being the best on the market. I was told by the repairman to buy a Vizio at Wal-Mart and get the extended warranty. Today's televisions aren't built to last more than five years.

I have had a Samsung 82cm LCD TV for over 4 years and it is perfect. Admittedly on fast movement in dark scenes there more lag than currant ones but it is just as good as when new. I will be upgrading next year to a 106cm LCD and it will be a Samsung. PS I have one of the first widescreen Samsung LCD PC monitor that is 7 years old and has no missing pixels and is as new. there are only 25 picures per second and 50 fields - when you go to the movies you will notice even moderate pans are jerky unless the viewer is distracted by something in the forground that the camera is tracking. Don't pay extra for 100+hz

We want to invest in 40" HD TV finally - yes we have been living under a huge rock. So, is it to be plasma or lcd? HELP please. Price around $1200 - $1700.

Samsung warranty sucks, it takes moths to repair unit. I am currently waiting after a month to find out if samsung can even supply the required part, also this this is the third repair in 12 months.

LG Rear Projection...Don't go there. We have one dead expensive brick in our loungeroom. Have had nothing but problems about 16 months after purchasing it.

If your worried about the LED's burning out, buy a Sharp, the lights can be replaced individually. They should be released sometime in September. 40" only to start and bigger later.
