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.

I just purchased this tv and the picture quality for regular channels is very poor... movies look great, but I am not satisfied with watching regular talk shows.Samsung LN46B550 46-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color

Go to CNET and look this tv up. People have posted calibration settings on there. My recommendation at this point would be to return this tv immediately! I have had the pn64e8000 for nearly two years now and it just died yesterday. I have found out recently that these tv's were shipped by Samsung with bad panels. I am not the only one this has happened to and some folks are trying to organize a class action lawsuit over this issue. I have had two Samsung tv's and they both let me down. Their customer service sucks and they will give you the runaround. I just ordered a Sharp aquos Lc70sq15u which is about the same price i paid for the pn64e8000 and is twice the tv.

This TV is great. I have mine wired so it didn't matter so much. The guy at the store said I needed a Samsung wireless dongle to make it wireless - so I avoided the extra cost. I found the Samsung support site very good - open up a chat window and ask them directly.I regret not dropping a few hundred bucks more for the 55" version.

I returned it. The second identical TV that I ordered at the same time does not have the problem so I hope that the replacement being shipped to me is also okay. Thanks for letting me know that someone else has the same issue. Herberto

Samsung is touting "better" spec on the B650 line and are therefore devoting must of their manufacturing pipeline to that series, followed by th B750 series. Once those stocks are large enough, they will be rolling out the B630 series. With that said, it looks like that the B630 should come out some time in mid to late May. The specs when comparing the b650 and b630 are nearly identical except the matte screen reduces the dynamic contrast ratio to 80000:1, which is to be expected -- not that these numbers are very reliable anyway. Also, they moved the on-tv controls to the center of the bottom bezel, which to me looks a bit awkard.

yeah dont get this tv my friends has it. the problem with it is fuzzy picture. i did a comparison with my own 1080p Lns-4095d samsung tv. Even though my tv is relatively older it didnt have fuzzy pic. Also note that both were using hdmi cable. however the LN-T5265F did not want to swtich to a 1080p resolution. everytime we did it got static. also note that all tests were done using a ps3. I recommned a Samsung however not this one.

I have the same issue with my two-week old 42B450, as well. The plastic bezel makes faint crackling noises as the unit warms up (lasts for about 30 minutes). It is definitely the plastic bezel since I can duplicate the sound by pressing the bezel along the top edge of the TV. Another Amazon post said that they had the same issue and so they returned the TV for replacement and the second one did not make the sounds. Am curious if the Samsung rep mentioned above actually has a fix for the problem.Except for this issue, the TV is excellent in every way.

I bought a LN52B750 after a great deal of research. Unfortunately, I cannot take anymore of the fake looking/soap opera/camcorder type picture with this tv, especially after adjusting to minimize blurring. Due to headache and visual strain, I even stopped watching this tv and I am sending it back for a plasma. Hope that helps.

I've been using it for over a year now with a 55" Samsung and have not had any issues. It is a very sturdy, well made unit. Worth every penny and it looks nice! I think you would be fine!

Mine is great. The picture is very good. I mean that because I have a panasonic 65vt50 and after watching that I can still enjoy watching this one. So it most not be that bad if my eyes can stand the change from the best you can buy to this tv. It's currently in my bedroom

i have the same "buzzing" sound coming from the vent on the left rear side. not sure if its normal but im going to set up service call to confirm. *update* ive been tweaking the settings and the buzzing seems to go way down if you put the contrast on about 50%, thus throwing the picture quality off. ive decided im going to send this tv back and replace it with the samsung lcd.

Can anyone tell me about their personal experience with SAMSUNG. I have read numerous reviews that in a year that it has screen issues, speaker issues, and dead screen... I have an insurance Co. giving me the choice of the toshiba led model or the samsung, as a replacement for the Pioneer industrial Monitor that I have now

I don't know how much help I can be but I'll give it a shot. I bought the Samsung because I own a Samsung LCD 46" bought in '08. I was quite happy with that TV so I stuck with the Samsung brand. I really think the 46" has a better picture than the 65" LED. Could be because of a consequential loss of picture clarity that comes with larger screen sizes. The UN65 has a dual core processor but if you're really into "smart," I recommend the quad core (more money of course). I subscribe to NFL game replays and they won't load well (and therefore can't view) with the dual core; I have to use my quad core computer. I think the UN has a really reasonable price, but you generally get what you pay for (as the old saying goes). Bottom line . . . I like the UN65 but, at the same time, I am a little disappointed. The only way you'll ever know is to look at them side-by-side and remember, showrooms do not have real-life broadcasts (in most instances) so when you get one home, your picture may not be a great as in the showroom. Hope this helps somewhat and good luck!

Hey I know you guys posted a couple of weeks ago, but if it helps, I have owned both the 4065 and the new LN46A650. I can tell you that the picture quality on the new series is literally leaps and bounds above the older models. I personally think that the 650 series is one of the, if not the best available lcd tv on the market today. If you do not want to spend the extra money on the new series, the 4065 is much better than the 4061, has a better processor, higher contrast ratio, brighter screen for better color saturation, etc.

I have not had any problems with this TV since purchase. I did have a previous Samsung where the capacitors crapped out and Samsung was less than useless.

Hi Dave,Sorry, my writing style isn't always clear - I wrote a review of the LN52B750 only. My encouragement was meant to say, read all the user reviews on the various models that one is interested in, because that is what helped me.BTW - that's some company you've got there Dave, sounds like I've benefited more than I know as a viewer - many thanks for your good work!
