I too experienced the Audio drop out problem on this TV. I called Samsung. They said it is the signal coming from my Dishnetwork receiver. I tried both HDMI and RCA sound connections. It happens with both. Turning off the TV and turning it back on, fixes this intermittant problem. It happens every 2 or 3 days. When I spoke to Dishnetwork they suggested rebooting the Dishnetwork VIP 622 DVR. If that doesn't work, Dish offered to send me another receiver.

I have owned this tv for about 3 weeks. Picture is great, only issue is volume kicks off every so often , thought it was the high def cable box so I replaced it but get same result, I plan on exchanging tv. Has this volume problem happened to anyone else?

I saw this at Best Buy today for 1299.99 and bought it but now will return it because it's such a good price on here - even with the 4 year warranty. I think it's the best Samsung has in the 32 inch. If you want the 40inch, check out the 4035H. But I think it's the best in this price range, firstly, and in terms of the quality.

I have owned both the LNS3251D and the LNT3253H and I personally think the picture is better with the latter. The extra component connection is a definate plus as well. If you go HDMI for cables, hit ebay.

Just got the 3253 after months of research and waiting. I've had audio issues like that but I find if I turn off cable box and turn back on, the problem goes away. Happens every few days. Not sure why. I also used reg rca audio cables that came w/ cable box at first and there was a constant hum. With hdmi, there is no hum, but there are these audio dropouts. But the picture and sound are amazing otherwise. I'm very happy with the tv.

ditto on the audio drop out. Turning the tv for just a second seems to fix it. It did the audio trick with both the rca cable and the hdmi cable.

You are welcome. Do me (us) a favor and let me know which one you decide to keep and why. If the next firmware revision or two does not fix the video streaming, then I will probably add one of those two just for Hulu. You could save me the hassle of buying both, comparing, and returning one :)

I would worry. I was supposed to have my TV delivered last Friday. Never came, no call from Pilot or anything. I call every day since then and just found out today that Pilot "does not have the TV", they lost it. They blamed Amazon, Amazon blames Pilot. Long story short I'm not getting a TV as Amazon no longer has any in stock to send me as a replacement. Very upset with both companies. I hope your experience turns out better.

No problem, let me know if you have any more questions. I've had this TV for about a year now and I love it. The SMART TV (internet) features are pretty shabby but that's not why I bought it so for me it works great!

OK so I am thinking about buying this TV. I am most interested in picture quality and price, but of course there is more to buying a tv. So can anyone here tell me if they have buyers remorse, and if so, what do you wish you had done instead??

It has been a month since I contacted Sony regarding the kdl-46vl150 shut off problem. I have been told that the replacement part is in indefinite back order and have been offered a replacement TV, model number kdl-46ex700. I have researched the model and its an up grade to the 150. Its not a 2011 model but considering that the 150 is a total LEMON I'm going with the exchange for the 700. And as Denyse stated document and nag nag nag.

Allan, Thanks for the input. Could you clarify which TV you bought?Did you try utilizing the DLNA to connect to a PC and play movies off the PC?What are your views on the quality of the TV's picture/sound/color...etc?

Mary, I myself upgraded to the NeoTV300SL because I wanted more functionality. I never had the problem that you had with the NTV200, but I've read some of the reviews and a lot of other people have said the remote is the first thing to break. If it costs too much to return and get another NTV200, I wouldn't waste my time or money. Figure out exactly what you need from a Streaming Player, then look for that device. My NTV300SL hasn't disappointed. Karen.

Yeah, I noticed that too. I am still debating between this model and another. Let me know what you think about the TV. Thanks.

Wound up w/ the UN40C6300 and so far I think it's great. I don't see the problems that others have found. I'm watching fast paced action and it looks perfect, and I'm incredibly picky.

Thanks, Tolik - you helped me decide- upgradability and the game modes are big things. The Samsung seemed to have more power but I've learned you can't really rely on what they say the wattage is. I haven't owned enough Samsung equipment in the past to know what to expect - the TV is great but a sound system is another story.Mark - thanks for the CD info - for some reason I thought I'd get even better sound with a dedicated player ... if you can give me the model # on the Kenwood I might be interested (with over 400 CDS, a changer is sweet.).Don

Thank you. I bought the S4696D after all and it is pretty spectacular! Unfortunately Time Warner Cable is not quite there yet, they told me that if I got the cable card instead of a cable box, I would not be able to play movies on demand and I would not be able to access some HD channels like ESPN and Discovery in HD (basically the ones worth watching) so I opted for the set top box instead. But regardless, I am ecstatic about the TV! Thanks for your advice.

i am in the same boat as you. this tv looks awesome but now it is not available. did they make a new model? if so, where can you get it?

I picked mine up through Costco and have also noted that it's not on their website right now, odd. It was 1,399 w/ free shipping and it is the best TV I've ever seen. You'd have to pry it out of my cold dead hands.

Sheila: At $278, that wasn't an issue for me. At that price, it's almost a throw away. I'd ask Google. BTW, stay away from extended warrenties. They are not worth the price. If a TV has something wrong with it, you'll know in short order.

Thank you very much NLee. You have confirmed what I was suspecting... after much reading around the web and on Amazon. I really appreciate you taking the time to do that.I'll get the Sony one.All the best to you... Jonathan
