Just want people to know to stay away from this specific Samsung TV. After owning three Samsung TVs, this one totally crapped out in 2 years. Spending $600+ you wouldn't think that inferior parts would lead to it being inoperable. Screen is black and TV attempts to power on and the screen briefly lights up with a light blue hue - standby red light blinks twice before TV starts the process again. Internet makes it seem like two blinking lights is code that the LCD panel has gone bad and needs to be replaced. It also sounds like a bigger issue.
What? How is this something that I should pay to fix. Inferior LCD panel? Especially when Samsung says its out of warranty and they want another $160+ minimum to just come look at it. Ugh. Time to try other models or even brands!
Agreed and anyone selling items that require an extended warranty to ensure it works more than 12 months has a problematic business model. People will vote with their hard earned money and pick competitor's products. I know I will!
