Samsung TX-R3079 30 inch TV

I bought this TX-R3079 a little over 3 years ago and the television decided to not power on today. I have read many forums and reviews and would advise against purchasing this television. If you decide to purchase this television then I would definitely make sure you buy the extended warranty because you will need it. I have trivial problems with the tv since day one. Now the television will not power up and it is going to cost me another $300 to repair. My best advice is to do your research and read all the product forums so you know exactly what problems you are buying. I am very dissatisfied and will not purchase a television from Samsung again. Samsung is aware of the issues this television has and ever so kindly refers you to a repair shop. Please keep this in mind when you are considering this television. The picture quality when the television worked was great, but the problems you have to go through to get keep your picture quality is just not worth the money. I am looking to purchase a new television and I hope this review helps with others purchasing decisions.
