I have a 40 inch Samsung Model Number: LN40A630M1F
About two weeks ago, it began flickering. It only happens within the 1st 30 minutes of it being turned on...it will have a fade, flickering on most of the screen. It goes away after 20 minutes. If you "touch" the side panel, that helps too.
My TV is 3 years old and not under warranty. SOL or can I get a cheap fix or Samsung to pay. Angers me, I paid 1200 and researched good models for about one year.

I suggested to him to leave all his peripherals in the closet behind the TV. Are there universal IR blasters that work with any cable box? Or do you have to get a model specific one?

i cant imagine being displeased with either of them. only the pickiest people in the world could find a fault with either set.
there isnt much else to say. its like picking a ferarri or a lamborghini. you win with either.

Sony has faced a similar class action lawsuit over their SXRD line, and I know of people who were authorized to buy $2000ish dollar new 55" 3D LED tvs from Sony directly for $400 because of problems with their Sony sets.
SEA said in a statement that "[a]pproximately 1 percent of Samsung televisions sold in the U.S. from 2006 to 2008 have experienced some performance issues" caused by capacitor problems and that it had "voluntarily provided free repairs for U.S. customers with affected televisions" since confirming the problem in early 2010.
