I've had enough of it. Waited just over 5 weeks for this piece of **** to come back. If it goes off anywhere again it'll probably be just as long. Slight hope i'm just tired and i'm missing something obvious but well turning volume up and making sure the internal mute and normal mute ain't on isn't too difficult.

Anyone got any advice what i can do? Samsung won't do anything other than "put in for another repair".
If it's the board that's problem, it'll probably be another 5 weeks before i get it back.Comment

Hoyl ****!
All this Samsung fault stuff is Shocking
I was like INCHES away from buying the TV about 6 months ago, to replace a modest Toshiba 21" 4:3 tv (that TV prob had the best CRT picture i've ever seen) I had the money in my hand but could not justify spending all of it. Got more important things to pay for like rent/food. So i got a Sony 28" widescreen CRT for 300 pounds 
. no high def for me which is upsetting as i've got a 360 pre-order(even though that means **** now).
I do have a 19" CRT Iiyama monitor that does rez up to 2048 X 1536 and has two VGA inputs. A question, is this good for some hi def VGA 360 goodness?
Unfortunitly my Sony CRT is ****ing B0rked. Geometrey is pretty bad, horitontal lines near the top bend in the corners :angry:
sorry, a bit of a ramble

Sounds as bad as mine mate.
Was away for apparently three weeks (I'm sure it was four) and came back with no fix applied, and another fault created.
Took a week or so to arrange pick-up, and this has now been over two months I've been without the use of my TV. It's claimed that both are under 30 days though (this one is 31 days to my count, and the invoice I have says the 10th last month) so I've contacted Samsung about it. They seemed helpful, and said that they don't care when it was picked up, but rather when it was arranged. If it's been over 28 working days (hasn't quite) they'll sort out credit / refund via the retailer. He said it'll take 5 days to get a report, and one to process it, so I should expect a call at the end of next week about it.
I have my doubts though.

I can understand it not being noticed that the VGA socket basically isn't working (what happens with that at first it'd flick from saying PC in top left, on and off, sometimes go on that standby mode where the light flashes, then it'd come back on and so on. Like it's getting a signal but not fully... now it just seems to stay in that standby mode.) but i would of thought the speakers should be noticed. The firmware was updated it now says 22nd Aug and it doesn't tear.
Doubt i'll have it in time for the 360, he said i'd be contacted. I'm thinking of telling them shove it up there filthy robbing arsehole as mine was picked up over 5 weeks ago so that's easily over 30 days. It's not going away for ****ing weeks again.Comment

I feel really sorry for you guys, I order a JVC tv from ebuyer and they ****ed me around for about a week, then when i recieved the tv, the picture was AWEFUL and the geometery TOTALLY wonky. i returned it easily and got my money back sharpish. This experience really got my blood boiling and was very impatiant and wanted the problem sorted sharpish.
If i had gone through what you guys had then i probably would have exploded.
This is really, REALLY poor on Samsungs part. I could have been in the same situation as you guys.Comment

Just a question: Has anyone bought the 26" or 32" Samsung and NOT had to return it/fix problems etc?Comment

Me.Originally posted by atrus
Not quite true as the twats didn't deliver it to my house yesterday despite me having a confirmed delivery date and time. On top of that they have managed to 'cancel' my order.

Over on AVF someone has said a UK recall on the Sammy 32 lcd is likely - it expalins all the stock problems. All to do with a Resistor.Comment

Yes
Not to say that there aren't quite a few dodgy ones, but they are very popular sets, so you're bound to see more reports of problems than others.Comment

This sucks, knowing my luck, I'll get the tv and it will suck.

The actual set is great, it looks so good sitting there, ah well bye bye for another eternity.
Samsung and there partners are the wank part. Looks like they can't fix sets without adding problems.Comment

try for a replacement as they're messing you about and have caused more problems with the tv ?Comment

I saw Philips 32PF9830 which is 32 Inch HDTV LCD with amblight. I love it, and the shop sell it for nearly 2 grand. Any ideas when it will be below say 1,200 pounds. I looked at online shop and it is 1,800 pounds ish.
I don't really want to be saving for months and months for it.Comment
