TOC frame problems? Can anyone tell me if this set has the same Touch of Color Frame problems that the others have been reported to have, e.g., the laminated red frame pulling away from the frame and the 'halo affect' (a distracting glare around the...

No, I don't think so. The color on the 630 is in the frame itself not a sticker. No issues at all.

Not that I can see. My pictures are the way they appear on the drive. I have had some problems with orientation, but I think I found the trouble...operator error. Some of the pictures because they are in portrait end up being small. But, I am no genius with this stuff. In any case we like the frame and would buy another.

It's there, just very subtle and no, there's nothing to turn on. Fwiw, we have a 52" and the above 40" Samsung, both w/ TOC and can barely see it - and that's only when looking for it. If you really want to see it, hold a flashlight behind the edge in a dimly lit room.Frankly, I think Samsung just uses TOC as a marketing tool ...

Most CDs are transparent to the light, and this one is somewhat like that. These are the only CDs that dont give me an error in my player, as well as others who I give my CDs to. You can use a cheaper brand like Verbatim where they have a white coat on the front, but those give errors for me. Maybe buy 3 of these at the local store and try them first, then buy this pack after if it works. Good luck!

I found that my TV does not have reflection issues...they are not eliminated but are reduced to a point that you have to be looking for reflections in order to see them at all. Glare has not been an issue for me at all. Remembering that plasmas inherently have lower brightness than any LCD/LED set, the reflection/glare level is satisfactory, your issues may be more brightness related. The set has a beautiful picture!

In a nutshell no, my two frames had many problems and one was the frame would mess up about 5 pics of 75 and display them sideways.I strongly suggest buying any other frame as their customer service was non existent.

Sorry to hear that Mr. Wilaby. :(I've been reading this forum (see link below) at dpreview, and some people don't have this problem! But it seems most do - maybe you're right, and we should wait a few months for it to be fixed?http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1010&message;=25105920

At first sight, I would say the frame looks exactly like the picture you see...a very nice smooth flat BLACK finish; but, I noticed that if I put something truly black beside or on the table, the tone is more of a dark BRONZE color. SIDE THOUGHT: IF you can get a set of (clear) Ghost Chairs, it would eliminate the concern of this table (or any table) not matching your chairs. We bought a set for a great price and they go together beautifully...with NO clashing.

I read someone's post on a another tv that said the "small cosmetic damage" was nothing more thing some sticker residue. Here's to hoping mine comes in that good of condition too. I'm saving over $200 buying this way.Keep in mind, if the item is being listed as Very Good by Amazon, chances are, the cosmetic damage isn't too bad. Now, if it had said 'structural damage', I'd be more worried.That's just my take on it.

I've opened 4 copies and haven't seen that issue. Could be a print-run issue. Are they visible from the top?

I have used the Satin Silver frame for 9 months, and see absolutely no color peeling at all. Maybe the metallic-looking frames are different than the colored frames?

TOC - Touch of color - The slight red Samsung monitors are the nicer models. It is very slight touch of red mostly noticed with direct lighting. It is as it should be.

Not sure it is the same thing, but I have what looks like cracks along the frame. I read that this occurs over time and hoped it was not common but my guess is there is nothing that can be done.

No, the eyes on mine were even. Sounds like yours is defective. I would try getting a replacement, my niece loved hers and still has it. I don't remember when I purchased mine but it's been at least a year and still going strong.

These sets are notorious for having optical boards that have a high failure rate. The first signs - green and yellow tints on the screen. In fact there was a class action suit against Sony. Do a search on the SXRD sets and optical boards. There is no fix, and SUNY's extended warranty had expired. You can try calling them, they might do some for you, but it's really too late.

I have only seen one tiny little blemish on my frame, but I try to ignore it b/c I just got the TV and I love it. Hopefully it won't spread or happen to any other part of the frame.It seems that manufacturers make things so obviously cheap these days! I understand they have to make a profit, but by sacrificing build and overall product quality is going to lead to their own downfall as people will stop buying shoddy products eventually. I digress, I agree that this TV is too expensive to be having so many "stupid" problems that could have easily been resolved. I am NOT putting tape on my brand new TV with a MSRP of $3,000.
