Red frame fading I noticed after having our TV for 3 months, the red touch of color screen is developing tiny clear circles. There are seven different circles. The screen is very scratched even by using the soft cloth that Samsung provided. Is anyone having this same problem?

They are suppose to next week. The repair shop already ordered a replacement frame. A friend had the same problem and hers was fixed already. I must say that it took two months to get any where with Samsung. This was a slow process!

WOW!I have one on the way and I'm not looking forward to this color bleeding problem.I saw the pictures,,,You would think Samsung would have fixed the problem by now.I paint auto's for a living so I can see myself removing the frame and bringing it to work for a satin black paint job.Thanks for the heads up,,, I'll get my screw driver ,

I have only seen one tiny little blemish on my frame, but I try to ignore it b/c I just got the TV and I love it. Hopefully it won't spread or happen to any other part of the frame.It seems that manufacturers make things so obviously cheap these days! I understand they have to make a profit, but by sacrificing build and overall product quality is going to lead to their own downfall as people will stop buying shoddy products eventually. I digress, I agree that this TV is too expensive to be having so many "stupid" problems that could have easily been resolved. I am NOT putting tape on my brand new TV with a MSRP of $3,000.

I just purchased a 750 and out of the box it already has a 1 inch long area on the red toc that looks like it is gone. It's a tiny sliver on the right, but from across the room you can see on the outside of the glass that it reflects light differently and looks less than perfect :o( ...Can anyone advise me on what I should do? I didn't purchase an extended warranty. Other than that, this tv is AMAZING!!!!!! seriously... AMAZING!!!! Words cannot describe. Literally, OMG, OMG, OMG as I watch a Blue-Ray disc.

For all those who have experienced this problem - did Samsung fix this by replacing/repairing the frame? I am seriously considering buying this TV, and this is the only issue that is making me hesitate.Thanks

Yes, I noticed this problem on my set too. I took a couple of pictures and posted them so we can be sure we talk about the same problem.
1516181
So is this problem specific to the 750 model, or has anyone had the same issue with the 650? The price difference now is less than $100, but I would prefer the 650 simply to stay away from the frame and halo issues.

I Have had this tv now for a year. the warranty went out 1 month before i had truble with it. The problem i'm having is on channel 26 in chicago illinois im wacthing now for 4months the tv screen goes black everytime the station goes to commercial after 12:00 PM when watcing cheaters.

Sorry Tracey V, this TV's screen cracked about 18 months after purchase... I haven't had a Samsung for 2 yrs.

Oh my gosh, that is EXACTLY the same problem we are having. It started maybe 4-6 months out of warranty. I am SO mad about t his. We are out of warranty and took it to a TV repairman, he said he couldn't fix it because they don't make just the part that is needed. We would basically need to replace the whole LCD at that point and that wouldn't be worth it. (cost me $75 for the assessment too!) I am going to call Samsung tonight but I am not hoping for much.

Please do not make the same mistake I made... it seems that you are in need of a screen replacement not a new LCD (since it still functions). I bought a new LCD to fix my mini only to learn, once I had changed it, that it had nothing to do with the damage.

Called Samsung but they weren't helpful....without an extended warranty, I'm out of luck. Only bright spot: It hasn't gotten worse. Now we're in the habit of turning on the TV, leaving for half an hour, and then coming back to it. It usually resolves by then...usually. But it's a big pain. Definitely never buying another Samsung. Let me know if you hear anything.

yes,my TV was sent to repair shop for black screen some time. Beware that you need to check when it ships back to you.they lost the TV base and broke the frame too. Then, I have made a lot of phone calls .it is hard to deal with them.good luck

I purchased a refurbished one in December for about $1,200 including the shipping. When the tv arrived the power cord was not in the box. Samsung did send another one in about two weeks. Then when I got it hooked up the tv made a popping sound. The good thing is it was under warranty and it was fixed by replacing the main board. There were no cosmetic blemishes on the unit when we received it. If you don't mind having couple of possible problems, it will save some money. Other than that it is a great tv. Hope this helps with your decision.

In the days of CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) Computer monitors, if a fixed display was left on for a long time, or repeatedly, the image would "burn in" that is when the image changed, a ghost of the fixed image could be seen also. I thought this problem was eliminated with LCD displalys so I am puzzled also, however if they say so, the black bands, or any non moving images would show up as ghost like images under the regular picture. I watch a significant number of wide screen movies on my ViewSonic and haven't had the ghost bands.

I believe that while this TV has less of a burn in sensitivity than the first plasma TV's, it still has some sensitivity to burn in from long term display of a stationary image. The manual for the TV states:"If a fixed image displays on the TV screen for a long period of time, it will be imprinted and become a permanent disfigurement on the screen. This is "image burn" and not covered by the warranty."In my case I have seen no evidence of burn-in, but I do not play electronic games - some of which can be problematic.

I find that if there are some problems on the edges, like colored lights or moving things, these can usually be corrected by pressing the picture size button on the Samsung remote until you get the best fit. Otherwise, the problem might be tiling which occurs when the digital picture breaks up. That should be checked out by your satellite or cable provider.

I can tell you I have been amazed at how much of a non-issue burn-in has been with this TV. On my 6 year old Samsung Plasma it was highly noticeable and I would set the screen wipe function for 30 minutes or more at the end of the day. When I set the screen wipe on this thing I don't see a thing. In fact I don't think I've seen any ghosting since I got this thing.

I can't answer David's question, but I have one of my own. From day one I have never had a clear picture. There are lines moving through the screen all the time. The darker the back ground the worse the lines are. Thanks

Good question. That's the reason I got the window fade screen in the first place. One of my pictures was suffering from significant fading, and since I applied the fade screen to all the windows in the room, there has been no further fading. I highly recommend it.

I believe this happened to me 3 years ago. I looked it up and I believe it was a loose component on one of the boards in the TV. Mine was still under warranty and Panny had someone locally come by and fix it for us. Good luck.

Yes, I have had my set for less than 2 months and it now has a vertical line top to bottom that varies in color. Have talked to samsung and are sending a local repair person out next week. Very disappointed for the price paid. To have problems this soon concerns me about this TV in the future.

White spots? Are they small? These could be bad mirrors in your processing board. My TV has 2 white and several black ones. Replacing the processing board with the mirrors is about 250... This is not related to the bulb it is a separate issue.
