I only kept this tv for a week. I did not experiment this. I would try a software update. It might fix the problem

I've had mine for almost six months and it happened couple of times. I've noticed that it never happens when I watch a DVD or Blu-Ray disk, or when I am streaming something either from Internet or my media server. It only happened when I was watching cable using my Comcast digital cable box. When it happens it goes black and comes quickly right back. Before it comes back it shows for a split second a sign that it is establishing HDMI connection. I was wondering if it has something to do with the cable box, but it is so rare that it is difficult to identify a pattern.

I have not experienced any problems so far. This TV is rock solid to me.Have you tried to update the software on it?

I've never had that, but if it's still under warranty call customer service. They are really great.

Had the SONY Bravia KDL-46VL150 for a while and boy is it a LEMON! It seems to work fine when connected to the DVR but if we connect to a Blu-Ray player it shuts off almost immediately and goes straight into stand by mode. It doesn't seem to matter how many times you unplug everything, check to make sure the set is not sync to the Blu-Ray player, or whatever it is the same result. SONY service has not been the best...good luck to anyone who has one.

I don't know if this is any help but you should be careful to hit the on/off button just once. This unit is molasses slow especially when you turn it on. You may be hitting the button more than once and accidentally turning the television back on.

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.

I haven't had any problems with mine, but I did have a similar problem with another model and this is how it started before the whole screen went dark. I had a technician come by. He said it was the mother board and that he would fix it but he couldn't guarantee it wouldn't happen again. He said that it's best to replace the mother board, and if you have to do that you might as well buy another tv. I took a chance and he fixed the problem temporarily, then it died, so I threw it away and bought this LG. I've had it since July 2013 and it's worked fine. Mine is the same model in a 50-inch. I did buy the 5 year warranty just in case since it's new technology. With these smart tvs it's best to get the warranty because you never know. If it's still under warranty, you should return it and have them replace it before your warranty expires because once the mother board gives out it's too expensive to fix and you're better off buying another tv.

Thats weird, i'm not sure, I have had a few different issues that might be cable related... just flickering out and back in. Also sometimes after being on too long... it will cut out then I have to leave it off for a bit and turn it back on maybe overheating. I have not seen this issue yet, I would change the cable, if not that probably RMA.

Mine was turning off and then automatically turns on in few mins. Most of these problems in Samsung TVs are due to its capacitors in the power board. I dont know if your TVs issue is the same but looks like due to capacitors. I would just try this kit and it is not that hard to replace them. The kit generally has more that what is required. I just replaced all in my mother board that matched what is in the kit and it worked for me.

This happened once when I was leaving the smart Apps page but after 10 seconds it responded. I powered off and on and it came back on normal. Have you updated the TV firmware? I think they rectified some issues there.

We have not had that issue. But, sounds like you have had it happen on a few different systems which seems really odd. I was thinking it was the A/V cables are not in properly or the tv needs to be turned to a different input. Hope that helps!

Hi, my friend bought her tv (save model KDL-46VL150) from a dealer around here and since january 15, 2010 has not been able to listen to it. It worked about 10 days, then a red flashing light came on et OFF went the TV. If I were you, I would return that model number. They all seem to have the same problem and unless you have bought from Costco the other dealers won't take it back (they sent you back directly to Sony who sent's you a repairman. And Sony is sure not in a hurry to fix it. She is still waiting for the repairman even after numerous phone calls and complaints. Check the web and see others that have the same problem. Good luck.

I am having this exact same issue. I know this is an older posting but I thought I would see if I can ressurect it. I find that if I go to hdmi control and turn the switching off and then back on again it comes to life. sometimes. sometimes it just starts working after a while like it has to warm up or something. did any of you guys figure out what was going on?

Did u try to update it ? When I first got mine , it would turn off then come back on again . Then I updated it and it stopped . Go to the samsung web site and go to tv updates . Then see if you have the latest firmware . If not , contact Samsungs costumer service . I hope this helped you out . I'm still enjoying my set .

I think I may have a similar issue. I connected my TV, and I have no picture, no sound, or anything at all. The right light on the button right comes on and off when I hit the power button, but that's it. Can't get the menu or anything to work.

My unit did appear to stop functioning at one point. I just fully unplugged for a few days and re-plug in and all was good. Maybe try unplugging for a few hours. I just forgot about it after unplugging.

My TV now turns off at random. I have only noticed this problem since using the smart cycle.

Right out of the box my tv had this problem. I have had it for 3 months and it has buzzed for approximately 5 seconds(until picture becomes visible) every time I turn it on. At first I thought I would be able to deal with it but the more I read about failures down the road, the more I think I am going to return it.

To be honest, I have no idea why. Mine just took it out of the box and connected my ps4, and the from there my 2 tvs, nothing else connected. Everything it's been working fine.I haven't touched or moved since I installed. Sorry for your issues.
