Does your Tv have the ambient lighting to illuminate behind the tv and if so I am very interested what colors it emits and if they are functioning.?

No it does not on mine.. i dont think any of the models have this. Mine is about 3 years old though.

Sorry, my version of this was replaced due to sound issues. I no longer have it, and my understanding is that it is no longer made. I recall I was very happy with the picture, but I can't answer the specifics of your question.

The TV is edge lit with LEDs. It claims to do local dimming, but with edge lit TVs, the local dimming is very coarse (unlike full array backlights, which can dim smaller sections of the screen more effectively). In my experience with the TV, it basically dims the entire screen if it is mostly black or dark. For example, during the credits of a movie where the screen is mostly black with a little white text, the entire screen would suddenly dim. In a completely dark room the screen would not look completely black like a plasma or OLED, though. It just drops the backlight level to make the blacks look darker. I actually didn't really care for how it was implemented on this TV, though; I found the sudden drop in backlight level while watching TV jarring.

We had the same issue after we installed the TV in 2 months ago. The brightness of the TV cycles through the lamp opposite from the TV - if we turn the lamp on, the screen gets bright within 3-4 seconds, and if the lamp is off, the screen is back to darker and dimmer image within 3 seconds. We have tried other lamps to see if interferences the TV responds to, but this is the only lamp that works that magic. the two devices dont share the same electric source either.

I had a very simular problem because of the florescent lighting I have 1 blueish and 1 yellowish bulb and there is a setting in the tv for the light sensor (to automaticly dim and brighten the screen based on ambient light) turning the sensor off in settings and no more dark "flickers"

Thanks. I'm still struggling with the decision. I saw a review on CNET for the Vizio with full array backlighting with local dimming and the review said that there were still clouding issues. So, I guess I may as well keep this set if I'm not going to get a plasma.

You can use the Audio outputs on the tv, they should be red and white. Let me know the model number of your tv if you cant find the audio out.

I have had my TV for 1 month now and have not noticed any of this. I would ask a Panasonic expert, but I can tell you that this is the BEST Plasma on the plant today and the colors are much better than any LED TV you could have purchased.

jesse lang, The picture wouldn't be dramatically affected by ambient light for most people. Like any television, even including the old tube types, direct sunlight on the panel will cause a lot of reflection and may affect the picture. You do not need to be pitch black to enjoy the plasma televisions. Thanks for your interest in Samsung televisions. --Mr. S

Actually online aficionado......The new Samsung LED's are WORSE. It is mentioned in cnets reviews and some have left comments here on amazon. One guy mentioned how he can see streaks running through his new LED tv in a dark room. So yeah... LCD's only look good when the lights are on.My friend has a panasonic plasma that he games on a lot. NO BURN IT. There is temporary image retention but that goes away fast.

Does the red light on the bottom of tv still glow? That would indicate a tv or remote control problem.

As far as I know, an LED TV is just an LCD TV with the backlight being LEDs, instead of a flourescent bulb so, you might see LCD and LED on the product packaging. I hope I'm correct in stating this; Can anybody else confirm this?

This model tv has a built in sensor. The color is great in ambiant light or darker settings. I love the tv and have been using it for three months. Great buy!

When mine was going out you could hear the color wheel humming and the TV would randomly shut off. Also when you powered it back on the screen would show a quick cycle of colors until it warmed back up. Hope this helps!

Maybe try re-installing? Also note, this is a projection TV....not best visibility in direct sunlight. Mine is often dark in my bright living room during daytime hours.

Our factory systems use infrared light to communicate. The easiest way to be able to see the light is to take a digital camera and look thru the camera screen at night look towards the screen and you should see some purple lights. Those are the infrared light. Try it with a regular tv remote. Press a button and look at the end of the remote control the same end that you point towards the tv. If you have any more questions please ask

With the old type of LCD CCFL some of them may have got hot. They used fluorescent lamps but led lights burn very cool so I could not see it being an issue on any LED TV unless for some reason the power supply got hot which should not happen.
