Power Disruption Detection: Does anyone have an issue with this tv switching itself off after what the trouble shooting section of the manual says is "power disruption protection"...I've had it for about a month and it wasn't really a problem at...

Are you able to turn the TV on with the buttons on the side of the TV? See my full product review for my unique issues.

You know, I never thought about checking it. All I can say is I have one serving each of our computers and they work perfectly. Thinking of replacing the regular APC on the TV. But I'm not sure it will shut off my subwoofer when the tv is turned off because the tv still draws an amp or two when it's off. Maybe I'll try one of the 'master control" surge arresters to see if will shut off the subwoofer, before I get another one. Anyway, when you turn on or off the computer, the monitor and speakers come on or off with it. Nice.

I got a Samsung technician came to my house to fix this crackling noise. He also said he never heard this kind of problems from Samsung before. He changed the power supply, but the crackling persists. He then rescheduled for a new panel. A different technician came with a new panel and replaced it with the one on the tv. Now my tv has much less crackling noise. Maybe one or two pops only, but its manageable for me.

Yes I have. I use mines everyday it has happened to me before but only twice and of that happens you just unplug the whole thing and turn off the tv as well for 10 mins. It could be that you don't have good wifi service.

My LG problem was in the TV start up process. It didn't want to start. I googled the The LG model number and it was suggested that I must have some bad capisitors in the power supply. I ordered the kit, replaced the bad caps and now all is well.

I like the TV for monitoring -I use it on a video security system. But I have heard that depending on the model, the your DSLR can automatically shut down when you plug something into it. I haven't experienced this - just heard it from a cameraman.

I would have to pull out my manual it has been so long. I don't believe it is but I will say I have not had many problems with it. It is of course going to be where you have it located. Right now sitting in my office looking at it (from an angle) there is a glare along one side where the large window (from the opposite angle) but once I turn it on it is not that noticeable. Again though, it is location. I just noticed this was an old question, sorry, hope it helps someone. I will add that I have no complaints what so ever about this TV, still going very strong after 8 years.

I have not had an issue. I have had this for a couple of months now and have only charged it a handful of times. We don't use our HTPC for everthing but it does get daily use. I turn it off everytime I am done doing anything. When mine goes to sleep I have to turn it offf and back on anyways. So it's just easier to turn off everytime I input what I need. Maybe you just got a lemon. Hopefully this helps.

Best bet is to take the TVs apart - find the bulged out capacitors and replace them with a higher rating capacitor - that's what I did on mine and it has being going strong ever since!There are lots of videos on YouTube about replacing the capacitors, and also a lot of people who have no respect for Samsung because of this issue!

I believe it is to let you know that the TV has power, and is on standby. When you turn the TV on, it flashes, then goes off when there is a picture. I didn't look through the literature, so I hope that's correct. Good luck.

Can you tell me what exactly worked? I just started looking into buying this television and am not following your blog. It would make me crazy if I had this problem because I've always had it with my Toshiba Plasma, which I'm replacing.

When I called tech support back in October, they described the functionality as I stated in my earlier post. I guess I got lucky and got a tech that knew what he was talking about.I am, however, getting a intermittent popping noise now from the rear of the TV... It has always been there, but it finally started bothering me enough. My local warranty service provider will take my TV set again this evening to attempt to fix the problem. Evidently there is a new kit for it.

mine couldn't....idk why ive seen people on here saying they had no problems but mine wouldn't work.. i could turn one tv on and it worked but if i tried to switch tvs i had to unplug them both and plug the one i wanted on in first and it would work...it was just easier to buy one with a power source. haven't had a problem since.

yep, my Samsung HDTV LN46a50 started power cycling after the warranty expired. Looked up the issue and was *stunned* at how global this problem is and how Samsung isn't doing anything about it. Opening up mine, it indeed was the capacitors that had blown. A quick trip to radio shack for the correct capacitors for a grand $4 total (I already own a soldering iron and solder) and an hour later I had a perfectly working unit again. I will never buy another Samsung product and encourage others that I know to do the same.

I have the LN46B750 and experience an occaisonal blackout for a second when my HVAC kicks on. I also am not sure if this could possibly be my 4 year old D*TV dvr. Would like to hear what you have running at the time when this happens, if it coincides with a power surge, etc. It's driving me crazy.

I had the "sudden stop" happen a couple of times. I had been using the "power off" button on the remote, thinking that doing this forced a "hard reboot"; it would restart the unit but didn't fix the problem. Now I use the power button on the back of the unit to turn it off after I've finished watching something and turn it back on using the same button; I have not had the "video stop problem" since.
