Has anyone experieced the following problem? I can be watching the TV and out of the blue it turns off all by itself, but it then instantly reboots, again all by itself, right where I was watching. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!!!

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

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.

Hey Amit,I have had the TV for 4 months, and have almost exclusively played my xbox 360 on it. If there are any burn in issues, I dont see them! I think a little common sense with regards to setting the TV to dim after inactivity, or even shut off (mine does automatically after fifteen minutes of inactivity). Anyway, Ive had no problems! Games look beautiful on this TV, by the way.

yup i have the same issue apparently its cause of the tv drawing lot of power dur to its fast start up . try plugging it in to the wall direcly ie with no other devices plugged in. i also notice that it only happenes if i have had the tv off for a while eg over nigt and not if it turn it off wait a few mins and turn it on so it must be some thing with the power. i would still call samsung and see whats up.

We've had the same issue. The TV (which we've had since January '08) had been doing that for 2-3 months. And, it's taken longer and longer to come on. It would make a clicking sound and the small red lights on the right side would go on and off alternately with the light on the "on" button at the base of the TV. Yesterday, it took more than 5 minutes to turn on. Then, today, it stuck in the clicking mode and wouldn't come on at all. We completely unplugged the TV and left it unplugged for several minutes--hoping that when we plugged it back in that it would be in the "off" mode. Instead, it's continued in its clicking mode for nearly an hour, now. Fortunately, we have the extended warranty. And, a repairman is coming here this Thursday to determine what's wrong.

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.

I qould contact samsung right away and inform them of teh situation...from what I have read (AVS Forums) they will send a technician out and if they determine there is a buzz they do have a solution...anyone looking for more info I would suggest going to AVS forums and reading the thread about this TV....be warned...its long....longer than whoadies vag.

Hi Joseph, not sure if this will post under my account or not, but responding to the email: You know, I've tried...it seems like it will work at the same time for a minute...but then it stops. It's also kind of schitzo, and confusing to work. I push the right button and it doesn't go on, or I push both and they both come on, then I push the left and nothing happens, and it's unclear how to reset it. I compare it to how you push all the buttons on your remote when the TV is frozen. Seems kind of like that. Since my posting, I've stopped using it all together, because I thought that I'd just make the double light come on and flash, just for visibility. But then I discovered that it wouldn't last but for a moment. Oh well. I'm glad this was a gift, because I would have felt frustrated and returned it by now. :(

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 have occasional instances where the screen will turn snowy and back. it can do this repeatedly. seems to be only on HD channels. when I go to a non-HD and back it typically stops. Still, no idea why it would do this. Did you get a resolution for this?

I have not seen that happening on my tv, does it happens while watching different video sources, (BD, Video Games, regular t.v cable or satellite) or only in one of these? if it happens no matter the video source it may be the t.v. if its only on specific ones you could try to change cable connections or the problem could be on the video source.

I had the same problem and it is the result of plugging more than one source of output at the same time. In other words, if you want to use your TV, you have to disconnect your monitor and just use one at a time. The same goes for the cables, only one cable plugged to the device at a time. I hope that helps you.

Hi all,I just got the unit and it does switch well. I have one problem though: once I operate the source linked to OUTPUT B (pause, click DVD menu, ...), the unit shuts off the B output and I have to reset it or reselect the B source each time ! Since it takes 5s for the unit to sync each time you select something, this is getting annoying ! It does not "lock" into the setup I want.Can I disable the "smart" input recognition/crap ?Thanks.

This happens on my Panasonic Plasma on rare occasion (3 or 4 times a year.) It also happens with my Vizio LED. I believe its not a TV problem but a cable problem. I have Comcast and sometimes I need to unplug my cable box for a few minutes to re-boot it. Sometimes that works, but more often I'm just getting a bad signal from some unknown link in the chain from a live feed. It annoying but has never lasted. The other 99.9% of the time both TV work great.

It actually sounds like one of your cooling fans went out. Which would explain it turning off because of risk of overheating. With that being said you should probably replace both fans and the color wheel. They all run on bearings and if one failed then the rest WILL follow. The fans are pretty simple to replace and are priced at about $5 each. Plus why take the TV apart twice or three times!

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 am having the same issue with my same model television. Mine was purchased the end of 2/08, it started doing that about a month ago and it is out of warranty. Have you had your repaired? If so, what was the cost? wants $150 just to come out and diagnose the problem.
