The Bottom Line:
Do not buy this set or any others from Samsung as customer service is non-existent.
When I purchased this set in Dec. of 2008 I was quite pleased overall but now, 13 months later, there is nothing but frustration with this set and the Samsung company. I woke up one morning and tried to switch on the set to watch the news but it wouldn't turn on right away. It started making a clicking sound as if it was trying to power up. It finally came on after 4 or 5 minutes of said clicking but when it did come on the picture had a pink/purple tint to it and the sound on the set was totally out (the built in speakers as well as the audio out RCA jacks). I immediately went to research this problem on the internet and found hundreds of posts from people complaining about the same trouble with a lot of models from Samsung (try it yourself...google "samsung + power + clicking + trouble" without the quotes). So far Samsung has been of absolutely no help and they even go so far as to not even acknowledge that there is a problem.
Maybe by this point in time they have resolved the issue so the newer models will not be as troublesome but you never know. As for myself I will never purchase another Samsung product.
