Samsung TV Reviews

Whoa. I called Samsung back. Second CSR says first CSR was incorrect. My set was built in March 2007. Samsung only repairing units "built from October 2007 to June 2008." When and if you call Samsung be sure this is clearly understood. They can tell build date from serial number. This is an obvious attempt to successfully avoid responsibility to the consumer. I'm sure the same power supply unit is used in my TV as the units being repaired at no cost. Nothing with the name Samsung or owned by Samsung will enter my house again. And they get away with it. And do yourself a favor for the record, videotape the problem for future reference. Simply note the date and time and person taking the video.

I brought my Samsung 720p HDTV in for streaks on the screen. It's 31 days out of warranty. Atlanta service repair station calls will not honor warranty. TV cost $600. They want $1000 to repair unit. What is wrong with this picture? They will not honor warranty for one month out of warranty. I called the customer service of Samsung, and since, I was frustrated. They hung up on me, since I didn't have the model number on the back of the TV.

I will try to be as brief as possible. I purchased Samsung 40" LCD HDTV model #LNT4065F on Dec. 26, 2007 from Amazon. The problem began 2 or 3 months ago (TV took a long time to turn on and would not shut off). The screen periodically also had multiple white dots. Earlier this week, I needed to unplug the TV because it was turning itself on and off. Later that day, after plugging back in, I found that the TV would not turn on. I read information (on this website) to call Samsung Customer Sevice to have their service rep diagnose the problem (free if it involves the capacitors). I spoke with Eliza, CSR, on 2/22/10. She told me to expect a call from a rep within 2 days.

Bought a Samsung hlp5063wx 50" rear projection TV back in 2004 or 2005. It was soon thereafter that its first bulb went out. Probably, around 6 months, 7 months or so later, another bulb went out. This happened 2 more times and the warranty service tech called Samsung and told them it was more than lamps. They sent a full light engine to be replaced. Fast forward 8 months - bulb went out again. Fast forward again today, 2/25/10, another bulb and our warranty service says, they no longer can pay for the bulbs because since Circuit City's warranty service was taken over by another entity. Their terms are now different. How convenient, right? So now I called Samsung to see how well they backed their products. Well, they don't back them at all. I got no where with Customer Service. Can someone please help? We have spent $199.00 for the first warranty and around 300.00 for the second one. Overall, we have been without this TV for well over 8 weeks in all.

In June, I bought a Samsung X460-44G laptop for about $1,300 and it included a 1-year warranty. On December 17th, I submitted my laptop for repair because the keys were malfunctioning. I got a call saying the latch in the back of the laptop was damaged but my warranty would cover the cost to repair the damages, despite my 1-year parts warranty. Both Samsung and UPS denied responsibility. The issue finally got forwarded to the Executive Repair Center a month of dispute later where I spoke with 10 different associates, all of whom informed me I will be given an exchange for my damaged laptop. None of my programs and files would be recovered from my previous laptop though.

I purchased my 46" series 6 LCD TV from Circuit City, in August 2008. Circuit City delivered the wrong product, sending me a series 5 instead. I did not discover this switch until November 2008, when I started having an issue with my TV, and called for repair. Fortunately, Circuit City was still around, and I was able to convince them to come and swap out my TV for the correct version. I thought that my warranty would be effective starting in November, since that was when I took delivery of the Series 6 TV. That was a poor assumption on my part. In October 2009, about 1 year later, I was watching TV when the screen suddenly went black. I then heard a clicking noise, as if the TV was trying to turn itself back on. It would fail, and then click again to try and turn itself off. The clicking would only stop, if I unplugged the back of the television. Once plugging it back in, it would successfully turn on, but the picture would only last about an hour, before the screen would again black out, and the clicking would continue.

I purchased a Samsung Plasma TV Model HPT5044 in November 2007. In August 2008, the TV wouldn't turn on. The relay continuously clicked. The repair tech came out and replaced the power supply board which fixed the issue. On February 9, 2010 (TV out of warranty), the TV turned off suddenly and we smelled something burning. The relay would then continuously click and would not turn on. We took a look at the power supply board and noticed 2 burned out parts. I called Samsung and opened a complaint. Also, I wrote a complaint letter and sent it to the New Jersey address given to me by customer service. I have not heard anything yet.

I purchased my Samsung Flat Screen LCD less than 2 years ago. About a week ago, it started clicking and taking longer to turn on. Now, it is up to 10 minutes clicking before it starts up. I called Samsung. According the serial number, it was manufactured 5 years ago, so they wouldn't fix it. So, when I bought a new TV, it was actually already 5 years old? I know it is the capacitor issue as I have found numerous people dealing with the same exact issue. Thought I was a Samsung fan, guess I should have bought that Sony.

My Samsung LCD LNT 4669 FX/XAA was purchased about 2 years ago. It now has the same problem that many of your contributors are complaining about. It will make a lot of clicking noises when you try to turn it on as it goes to on and off recycling. Initially, it was only a short time but it is getting longer and longer. The service representative said the model was not in her "recall" list. So, nothing could be done for me as the TV is outside of the warranty period. I am hoping Samsung will reconsider since having to pay what appears to be $400 (quote from an authorized Samsung repair dealer provided by Samsung) after having spent $2500 only 2 years ago to buy this TV is outrageous and totally unacceptable. Needless to say, unless Samsung is prepared to stand behind the quality and reliability of their product, I would never touch a Samsung product again.

I have the same problems as everyone else. I have been dealing with this problem since December 2009. I contacted the New Jersey office and BBB in NJ. I also posted a video on YouTube of my TV. So today, I decided to call Samsung again. Finally, they are admitting to the problems and have faxed a repair company to contact me at no charge. So I am also keeping my fingers crossed! Call Samsung over and over until they help you!

I have a 40-inch Samsung LCD TV that is just a little over 2 years old. About a month ago, it started taking longer and longer to come on. I've been researching this problem on the web and can see from the number of sites and forums that this is not an isolated problem. It seems that Samsung is aware of the problem and unless your TV is still under warranty, they will not do anything about it.

I have a 40-inch Samsung LCD TV that is just a little over 2 years old. About 6 months ago, it started powering up with dots on the screen and taking longer to come on than usual. It is taking longer and longer to come on. I've been researching this problem on the Web and I can see from the number of sites and forums that this is not an isolated problem. It seems that Samsung is aware of the problem, and unless your TV is still under warranty, they will not do anything about it. This should be a fairly easy fix for a repairman and inexpensive, but for the average consumer, it will be very costly to take in for repair. I think Samsung should take responsibility for the sets manufactured during this time period that are having problems.

My Samsung TV Model LNT4661FX started clicking on/off repeatedly, taking 1-5 minutes to come on. I noticed when it did come on, there was a shadow starting at the mid-bottom, and trailing upward and to the right. I called Samsung. They told me there was a known problem with the power supply, and they would have a repairman come to my house and repair it. The repairman came to my house, and replaced the power supply. When he turned the TV on, he said the shadow was caused by the power supply capacitors charging and discharging. He took photos of the shadow, and said he would report the problem to Samsung. The next day, he called and said, Samsung would not pay for repairing the shadow problem.

I have the same problem with clicking on my 46" Samsung LCD; it’s less than 2 years old. It’s gone from 5 minutes to come on too 1-1/2 hours and it’s still clicking away. I called Samsung, 1-800-726-7864, twice 2 weeks ago. It was tough luck. Today, thanks to your posts, they are sending someone out at no charge! I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

I was seriously considering buying Samsung products. Your comments and experiences have really saved me. Thank you! I'm very sorry for your bad luck with Samsung. Your postings will help people not to buy from this company and maybe they will improve the quality of their merchandise.

I bought my Samsung projection TV on 11/2008 from Best Buy online. I paid a great deal of money for it (about $1300). On 2/20/10 my TV shut off unexpectedly and smelled like an electrical fire was about to take place. The TV now turns off and on repeatedly and automatically. I called 1-800-Samsung and spoke to rep that said my model wasn't one of the models that has this problem. Interesting since he could here the TV shutting on and off in the background. He told me I'd have to call a repair man and get an estimate.

I posted on this board back in December about my Samsung LCD LT-T4665F TV. Manufacture date was December 2007. The clicking problem started in November and steadily got worse. I did some research on the web and found this site and was appalled at all the complaints. My TV was on that day and I decided not to turn it off. It had been on 24 hours a day, seven days a week for almost two months because I knew if we turned it off, it would not come back on. My husband accidentally turned it off the other day and of course, it did not come on and we just had the infamous clicking problem. I did more research all over the web and found numerous sites on how to fix the problem of the bad capacitors. There are videos on YouTube and the parts only cost about $5. I was ready to do this myself when I decided to call Samsung because I noticed another gentleman had said that he called and Samsung was finally acknowledging the problem and fixing the TV sets.

I saved and researched to buy our first big screen TV in 2007. We spent over $1600.00 and bought an LNS4041 LCD TV by Samsung because we thought by spending a little more and going with a "reputable" company that we would enjoy our first big screen TV for many, many years to come. Just a few weeks ago our TV began the "click" problem. It has progressively gotten worse and today won’t turn on at all. That’s when I hit the web and found all these sites listing this massive problem. I called Samsung and they said I would have to pay for the repairs myself. I will never buy another Samsung product and I will support any legal action that can be taken against a company that does not make right a known wrong. For shame. My business would not be operating if I treated my customers this way. Bad deal.

I bought a Samsung 42" flat screen TV for $1500 on Feb. 15, 2008 from Fry's Electronics. Approximately 6 weeks ago, the TV started making a "clicking" noise and then would turn on with vertical lines running though it. We turn the TV off and start over by turning the TV on again, it goes through a series of clicking sounds and turns on in approximately 3-4 minutes. Sometimes, it has spots running through it and this is resolved by turning it off and on again. I have called Samsung and have not gotten any kind of acknowledgement of a problem, all I did was Google Samsung TV and a huge list of complaints came up.

My Samsung 40" LN-T4061F television (purchased August 2007) has the not-so-uncommon red/pink/purple dot problem and is starting to take longer to turn on. I called Samsung, and they will not pay for repairs on this model. I can get the dots to go away by recycling the power, and the start-up time is currently only 10 seconds longer than normal. However, other posts have indicated it starts out this way and gets worse (hours for start-up) until it won't turn on. My hope is that Samsung will come around (or be forced to if this starts happening to more TVs) and will pay for the repairs when my TV gets worse.

This appears to be good news!

As already stated by many, my Samsung 40" television has stopped working and doing the pink dot thing, blinking off and on with no picture. I just unplugged it. Having some electronic experience, I shall attempt to repair it myself after speaking with a local repairman. It's a shame Samsung has done this to themselves and mostly to us, the consumers. Times are tough enough without this type of financial loss.

I have 3 Samsung LCD TV's. I have two that are giving me problems and I have called into Samsung to request help. They stated that they would have a technician follow-up which would not happen and that any repairs needed would have to be paid for by me since they are out of the warranty period. I am experiencing the purple lines, clicking, and one TV is not turning on at all. I cannot believe this brand will not stand behind its products. Why would anyone purchase another one?

I bought a Samsung 40 inch TV in July 2007. The TV started giving problems a few weeks ago. When the TV is turned on, it starts clicking for long periods of time. It usually does not turn on but sometimes it will turn on after a couple of hours. I called Samsung and told them what was going on. They told me that they were having problems with their TVs that the capacitor was not lasting as long as it should (which is 12 years) that it is only lasting for three years.

My 2 year old 46" inch Samsung flat screen began clicking on and off with no picture until it finally came on with pink/red dots all over the screen. It started with a few clicks and has increased to 10 over the last month. Samsung initially denied any responsibility but today took responsibility and put a work order in with a local repair shop. I'm told that the repairs will take place with no charge for service or parts to me. Thanks to all those who posted. It was a big help in getting this resolved! I'll post again to confirm that service was completed and the problem was resolved.

I purchased a 40 in. Samsung LCD TV model LNT4061FX from Circuit City in April 08 and had them install it on my wall for me. A few weeks ago, the familiar clicking on and off problem described by so many people on this site began. Now my TV will not turn on at all. I was elated when I called Samsung and was told that my set would be repaired free of charge and that I would contacted by a local service tech within two days.

My Samsung LCD TV is 3.5 years old. Now, it only has sound, but no picture. The technicians from Samsung Service Centre came to our home, and after one look, concluded that the panel is defective, and it would be cheaper to buy a new TV. I find this hard to accept, that a TV is spoiled, only after about 2,000 viewing hours, when LCD should last about 25,000 running hours. I am not convinced that the technicians did a thorough job. Now, I am forced to buy a new TV (economic damage).

I have had my Samsung for 14 months and it’s been great until this past weekend. There are lines running from top to center and from bottom to center, less noticeable at the center, but still there. These lines look like vertical purple static electricity on the screen. I've talked to the cable company because my husband thought it may be a signal problem, but the cable company representative said these were "throw-away" televisions and weren't meant to last longer than a year or two. This is disheartening, especially when it was a gift to begin with and Samsung has not responded to my complaint about the lines distorting the television’s picture. I just want to watch my television and an expensive television should last more than 14 months.

We purchased a Samsung 22" TV on 12/12/09 as a Christmas gift for my in-laws. The TV had defective sound. We returned the TV and was sent the same defective TV back. I called the company and was told that it would have to be repaired again. I explained that I paid for a new TV and that I did not want a refurbished TV. It was agreed that I would send the TV back and a new one would be sent to me. That was on 1/27/10. I still do not have a TV in my possession but my credit card has been charged. I have made repeated telephone calls to Samsung and have not received any satisfaction. This television was purchased as a Christmas gift for my elderly in-laws. They still do not have a TV.

My Samsung 42" plasma TV is 2-1/2 years old. About a week ago, in a matter of 2 days, it went dead. It started with the blinking LED on the front to shutting off by itself and wouldn't turn back on. The repair man cost $90 to tell me it needed a new power supply board for $600. I declined the repair. What put the same defective board in! Please keep me in the loop for new developments. I don't know which way to go at this point. But I have been spreading the word to stay away from this brand.

All you guys, we all have Samsung TV problems. We should ask our government to force to have recall for the power supply board. A large of number of Samsung TV failed between one year and two years just out of warranty. The capacitor they used is 10V but it should be 16V. When one of capacitor burnt out, TV starts the problem. I assume Samsung knows the problem because all their technician knows what is the problem. This is another Toyota--it ignores fair requirement. It is its design fault. The consequence is $1200.

I bought Samsung TV on Nov. 11, 2007 at BrandsMart for $2927.00 - 46-inch HD LCD TV LN-T4669F. Nineteen months later, on June 17, 2009, our TV would not go on and there was a clicking sound. I called Samsung (transaction number **) customer service and was told to contact Lakes Electronics as the one year warranty was up. The repairman came and we had to pay $309.00 to have two capacitors from the power supply replaced. I wrote a letter to the VP and CEO Mr. Lee Yoon-Woo and explained what happened and asked to have Samsung reimburse me for my $309.00 repair bill or send me a new TV. Someone from Samsung called and left a message that I would be getting a response from my letter.

We have a 40" Samsung TV. About a month ago, it started taking longer and longer to turn on. Within two weeks, it stopped turning on at all. It just clicks constantly. I had to unplug it to get it to stop. The warranty expired on 1/20/10. The TV died on 2/4/10. I will never buy a Samsung product again.

LNS2651DX/XAA TV, just out of warranty, constant clicking on and off.

My Samsung LCD TV has been taking longer and longer to turn on. It clicks like it is trying to turn for about 2 minutes before it finally does. I contacted Samsung and they told me they would not cover the cost of repairs, and they refused to acknowledge the claims that this is a very common problem among their customers. I am at my wits end as to what to do. If there is a class action lawsuit instigated on behalf of all of the Samsung TV customers that are going through this, I would definitely be interested in filing a formal complaint and joining the suit. What is it going to take to make this company (Samsung) accountable for these issues? What does it take to initiate a recall? This would seem to be a textbook case for one.

I wanted to follow up on our Samsung Saga. We had a local Samsung authorized repair person come out today to fix our TV (Samsung put him in touch with us after we called customer service about the clicking on/off situation with our 46" flat screen) and it was indeed the capacitors. He replaced three of them. Like Richard of North Miami, FL (February 16, 2010), we had the same issue of a disconnect between Samsung and the local repair shop. Despite the fact that Samsung said they had sent him info on what they would cover the costs of, apparently the documentation they sent him wasn't terribly clear on what was covered and how they would pay him.

Samsung LTN4661 FX is a lemon. I called Samsung two times yesterday and today and they denied that there were any complaints on this model. I was saying this is **. How could they lie outright like this? They scripted their excuse. One was actually rude and hung up on me. I have the same problem with the power not coming on until the second cycle. Yesterday was the first time I saw the pink dot screen just like everyone else. I looked into the capacitor replacement do-it-yourself but hesitant to take apart and solder.

I wish I did not spend $1200 to buy Samsung TV LN46A500 14 months ago. I rarely use it (100 hours total at most). Today, I turned it on and found no sound. I hold remote volume key and finally got sound, but it immediately dropped to 0 by itself (sound indicator appeared on screen). I tried to turn power off by either remote or pushing power button on the unit. It did not work until I unplugged it. I plugged it again. Nothing has changed. I called the 800 number but I was told no service will provide. Only thing I can do is to tell everyone I know, do buy any Samsung products because of no service.

We bought a Samsung 42” LCD television (model LNT4042HX/XAC) in December 2008. Last year it started shutting on and off on its own. We never thought much of it. Then in January 2009 the picture started blinking off and on when we turned it on. The sound would continue to work but the picture was like a strobe light. In May we started looking into getting it fixed. After 3 trips to an authorized Samsung repair shop they told us they could find nothing wrong with it.

I also had the same issue with our Samsung LNT4665 46" TV, constant clicking on/off before actually powering up. The clicking started out as just a few clicks, then escalating to minutes of clicking waiting for the TV to power up. I called the Samsung Customer Service number I found on Google and spoke with a customer service representative. She said that it was most likely a capacitor and that she would be putting in a service order to have an authorized repair specialist come to my home to check it out. I asked about costs associated with this to which the representative stated that if the problem is indeed the capacitor, Samsung will pay for the parts and labor associated with the repair. If the specialist does not find that it is the capacitor, I will be responsible for the cost of repair. I will wait to see what happens once I have the TV evaluated. Hopefully, Samsung is stepping up to take care of the problem as well they should! (The customer service representative I spoke with today was extremely polite and helpful, by the way.)

I was having identical problems that everyone else is stating in their complaints (I would go to turn my TV on and it would click and make the power up noise but I wouldn't get a picture). I Google the Samsung customer service information and found the "speak to a customer service rep via chat". I was told to unplug the TV from my surge protector and plug it into the wall. I did this and my TV is back to working normal. I asked why it only took that and the rep said I may have had too many items plugged into 1 surge protector and the TV wasn't able to receive enough power. Luckily, I have an additional surge protector lying around the house, so I have plugged only my TV into this surge protector. People may want to try that.

1.5 year old LCD 52" TV shut off completely. After calling Samsung and researching issue, I found this is a major problem for many consumers who spent hundreds of dollars on these products. I’m still waiting to see if they will repair the problem, which appears to be the capacitor. It is scary that they won't even issue a recall or let purchasers know of the problem. I also own another 40" which will probably experience the same problem. It is a shame. Hope Texas can do a suit like New Jersey to make them pay for this.

I too have the same on/off clicking problem with a 52-inch LCD Samsung TV (Lna52650). I called Samsung on February 15th, the same date as some others, explained the problem and even sited all of the forums and websites covering the problem. The customer service rep told me the solution was to call for service. I asked why I should pay if it's a known problem and she just repeated her response. Interesting that some others got a different story on the same day. In the mean time I have ordered a new power board at a cost of $125 and will try to put it in myself. I’m very disappointed in this TV which I bought from Samsung because I expected quality. I’m out $125 and my own time to hopefully repair.

My nearly new Samsung 750 series LCD TV turns on and off continuously and does nothing else. It is a common complaint and Samsung says, “too bad”!

One of my three 32" flat screen Samsung TVs does not work and cannot be repaired. The TV is about 18 months old and is watched infrequently. A certified Samsung repairer took the TV to his shop and told us the convergence PCV board was the problem but when he replaced it twice, the TV still would not work. Samsung has refused to repair. Model #LNS3252DX/XAA.

I have a LNT4671fx purchased on February 2008, with the famous clicking/bad capacitor problem. I decided to call Samsung Customer Service number this morning, Monday, February 15th 2010 and explained my problem. I was professionally treated and told that Samsung would repair my TV at no cost to me. They issued me a service order number and gave me the name of the authorized Samsung repair representative in my area.

Well, we bought our very large paper weight 2-2008, about 1 1/2 months ago the TV started to click and take longer and longer to start up. Just like all of the 18 pages of consumers complaints. I am planning to call Samsung again and see if they plan on do anymore for us. Sounds like they will not, but then I will call the same attorney as one of the other consumers that was taken for a couple thousand just to have to pay for another TV and then have pay more to get rid of the piece of trash too, just to see if we get anything out of the class action lawsuit.

I bought a 40 inch Samsung LCD TV model LNT4061T in October 2007. For a while now, at least a year, the TV will not turn on properly. It clicks on and off, has stripes, and when it finally decides to turn itself on, the picture is full of dots. This was an expensive TV and it should have lasted a lot longer. Based on what I've read, it doesn't appear Samsung is making good on this. That's too bad for them and their reputation.

I have a Samsung 40" LCD TV (model #LNS4041DX/XAA). After 3 years and 1 month, the TV started clicking and taking longer and longer to turn on. After internet research, it seems as though I am just another victim of the Samsung curse where the capacitors need to be replaced/upgraded. Local shop quoted me $225 minimum for the repair. I honestly thought this TV would last 5-10 years, and I loved it up until now. I thought spending a few extra dollars when purchasing would have prevented this problem. Very disappointed in Samsung. Will never buy from again.

My Samsung 40" LCD (LNT4061FX/XAA) began displaying a screen spattered in pink pixels this morning. I already assumed this was an internal defect, and then I was relieved to locate this website to discover that 'I'm not the only one'. Many folks have indicated this repeating malfunction, and I, like many others, have owned this model for approximately 2-1/2 years where the approximate purchase price was $2,000.00. I've submitted a repair ticket to Samsung for my out-of-warranty LCD TV and will consult with the local technician when their office calls. The thought had also occurred to me, a TV should last many, many years when I made the purchase; particularly considering Samsung has developed a better than average reputation for product quality.

I bought a Samsung LNT4661F LCD TV, and just a few weeks after the warranty expired the LCD panel went out. It is not repairable and costs more to replace than a new 46" LCD TV. $1,300 loss on worthless TV with a picture that is unbearable at this point.

We purchased a Samsung 46" flat screen TV (LNT4661-FX) back in December of 2007. About a month ago, the TV started making clicking noises when we turned it on and it would take the TV 4 or 5 rounds of clicking before it would actually turn on. We thought it was an issue with the interface with our cable box but when the clicking got worse, we Googled the problem and found that many other consumers had the same issue, which eventually leads to a dead TV. I called Samsung's customer service yesterday (2/12/10) and explained the problem. The representative I spoke with claimed my TV was still under warranty (which was impossible as the warranty was a year and it's been about 2 years since we bought the TV) and said he'd send out a local TV repair person (who'd be contacting me) to repair the TV for free.

I bought a Samsung 40-inch HD television (model LNT4061F). It started having issues with red dots in the picture and failure to turn on. The TV clicks on and off with no picture. After 15 minutes it might come on. It gets worse by the day, and now it has nothing on the screen but a rainbow of stripes. It cannot be turned off without unplugging it. This TV is 2 years old. It cost $1600.00 and is now worthless. I have seen hundreds of complaints, and Samsung does nothing. I will never buy another Samsung product. The store I bought it from tells me they have had hundreds of complaints about Samsung and that Samsung knew about the issues but did nothing to recall or alert customers. Samsung took our money and ran.

Just purchased new 52 inch Samsung TV, but it won't turn on, no picture, no menu, no sound. The red power dot is on. I have checked all inputs and followed all instructions perfectly. After reading all the complaints about capacitor issues, etc., I will return this set and look at brands with better reliability ratings.

My 46" Samsung LCD TV (LN-T4661F) is not turning on properly any longer. It won't turn on when I click the remote and the TV tries to turn itself on again and again. It finally turns itself on after the third try, but it is clear from all the complaints on the internet that soon it will stop turning on altogether.

Basically, I am having the same issue as everyone else. TV clicks light blinks but does not come on. Samsung said they will fix it but have not heard from them. I will never buy another Samsung product; $2300 down the drain. This has to be wrong. People should not be able to do this. I have read thousands of similar complaints. They know it is a problem that is why the rep said if it is the capacitor, they will fix it free of charge. But of course, I have not heard from them and it's been over a week.

Our 50 inch Plasma all of a sudden started going blank while the audio is stayed on. I called Samsung and they told me to have it looked at by their Samsung authorized repair company in my area. After a week and a $70 service fee, they said nothing was wrong with the TV. Two days later the problem started again. Samsung says they haven't heard of any related problems (I guess they haven't read the blogs). They are not standing behind their product. The warranty ran out in 11/07 and they are pretty much saying "oh well". $2,500 and 3 years of ownership, I don't want to hear "oh well". Anyone interested in a class action?

After just over 2 years my $1,500.00 Samsung LCD TV stopped working that what seems to be very common capacitor problem as the 10v 1000uf capacitors (4 of them) were clear leaking. Samsung was absolute no help and their response to my email clear showed me that they really do not care about their customer or the quality of the product they produce. I decided to call them and get a number for their parts distributor which I found ha a 2-3 week backlog on the part, wonder why that is?

Two years ago we bought a Samsung LNT4661FX, and we have been having a lot of problems with it. people from Samsung coming to fix the TV 2 times, but the problem still persists. The problem is that the TV is turning on and off by itself on its first two months, and now, it is not working at all. We have been without a TV for over 4 months, because it's too expensive to have it fixed.

I purchase a Samsung LCD model # LNT4061FX/XAA in December of 2008 for $1600 and it is taking at least 30 minutes to turn on with constant clicking on and off as all the other complaints.The time span is getting longer and longer to turn on. It has been about four weeks that we have been having this issue. I do not have the knowledge to correct this.

Purchased a Samsung HL-R4667 46" (widescreen) TV at Brandsmart USA city of Sunrise, Florida on 6/02/2008. In January 2010, this TV costing $1,746.63 began to have a delayed start-up after the remote signal, when the screen did light-up there were horizontal and vertical purple/green/yellow lines creating a plaid pattern and no picture. This required plugging and unplugging at the wall receptacle a few times and the screen would clear and go to the on screen TV guide allowing the remote to operate effectively.

After a year, another brand new 32-inch TV is not working! It won't turn on, no sound, nothing! I now get to watch a little red power dot instead of my HDTV! Thanks Samsung for ** another customer!

Bought a Samsung 46" LCD TV LN46A550P3F June 2008. Just today when powering on the TV, it started making a clicking sound and no picture for about 10-15 minutes. I Google "Samsung 46 LCD TV making clicking sound when turned on" and Google returned 50,200 hits. When is Samsung going to own up to the problem with the capacitors on their power supplies? I will attempt to fix myself.

My one and a half year old Samsung LCD now only turns on and off constantly. I have had no luck dealing with the tech support. They pretend that it is not something they have ever heard of but I have found hundreds of the same complaints. People even have YouTube videos about it.

I purchased a Samsung TV two years ago and paid extra for the extended warranty. We started having issues with the TV and called Sears customer support. They stated that they would send a technician (that is only available on Tuesday or Thursdays) and this makes the third time they were a no show. I called back today, 2/9/2010, and was connected to "management." All they did was to schedule another appointment. They probably won't show up. They also ordered a part for my TV when they don't even know what's wrong with it yet. It seems like a huge waste of time and money.

I purchased a Samsung LNT4065 LCD television in July of 2008. For the past month or so, it's been giving me significant problems. After I hit the on button, it takes 1-2 minutes of clicking before the screen turns on (the length of this boot up period seems to be increasing as the days go by). When the screen finally turns on, it is covered with vertical purple lines. I have to turn the television off and on again to get rid of the lines. I've contacted Samsung, but they haven't been helpful in the least.

I bought a new 46" Samsung LCD HDTV at HHGregg in Noblesville, IN in July 2008. Recently, it is taking five to twenty minutes to power on! I saved and gave $1500 for it! Samsung says there are no known issues for this model#LN-T4669F! Yea sure! I got my daughter and sister to buy Samsung TVs because I thought they were the best! I will never buy Samsung again, and will tell everybody I know to do the same! They care about sales but not service after the sale. At least Toyota is doing something about their problems! Samsung needs to recall these sets with the power supply/ capacitor problems!

Familiar complaint: I bought my Samsung TV LNT4671FX/XAA 2 years ago costing over $2K. Now, it's slow to power on, it usually sits and clicks for about 10-30 seconds. Sometimes, I just toggle power to get it on. Sometimes also the pink dots appear, they're spread all over the picture. Powering off, then on, rids the dots.

I bought my Samsung 46' HDTV in July 2008. Now 2 years after my TV clicks for about 15 minutes before it turns back on and everyday it take longer to turn on. Once my picture was completely distorted and blue. I will never buy from Samsung again.

I bought my Samsung TV a little over 2 years ago. Now instead of powering on, it sits and clicks and flashes. Eventually, it does work. It’s getting worse, though. I called Samsung a couple of days ago; they claim to have no knowledge of any power related problems that are affecting a broad swath of their customers. They referred me to a local dealer who might be able to fix the problem for $400. Samsung needs to own up and fix this for all of us!

I bought a Samsung LCD TV 1.5 years ago, and it wont turn on Super Bowl Sunday. Same problem as everyone else listed here. I'm taking it to a local repairman, it's going to cost $100 just for them to look at it and then we'll see.

I have experienced the "will not turn on" (clicking) problem and four large shadows on my 46" Samsung TV (Model: LN-T4661F). The problems begin approximately one year ago. Calls to Samsung were met with, "We have not encountered this (problem) before." Chats with repair techs on the Samsung Web site were also met with claims of ignorance. Other consumers experiencing these problems are blogging a Web site operated by Product Reviews. Hideous behavior by a company that takes our money but will not even acknowledge an apparent wide spread problem with their product.

We purchased a Samsung 47"LCD TV in May 2008. Television will not turn on. Had a television repairman look at it and found out that the power supply is bad. After viewing the complaints on this website, realize we are in the same "boat" as everyone else except our TV is now out of warranty. Now, I am paying for a television that will not work and sounds like I probably don't need to repair either.

I have a total of 3 Samsung products, 2 HDTV's and 1 LCD computer display with faulty radial capacitors. I fix electronics and was able to repair all 3 for less than $10, however if I did not have the skill set, it may have cost me up to $1000.00 to repair. Samsung refuses to take responsibility for placing obsolete parts in their products.

I purchased a 48-inch Samsung LCD TV around a year and a half ago for a little over $2300. I'm having the same problem that everyone else is having with the TV taking like 15 minutes to turn on after it goes through its clicking ritual. I'm not happy with Samsung at all especially after reading all the complaints of the exact same thing by others. Where is the recall? It's obviously a capacitor problem and a design issue. Samsung should be made to stand behind their products since they won't do it on their own. Take a page from Toyota and own up to your mistakes and fix the problem! I'll never buy anything from that piece of crap company again. I'll do everything in my power to get the word out to not buy Samsung since they make junk and won't stand behind their products.

Our Samsung 32" LCD HDTV was able to be perfectly color-calibrated in May 2009 and had a great image--for a mere 2 weeks! After that, the color processor and display circuits started going haywire. Color is awful, can't be adjusted, and not even black-and-white can be be made to look normal.

My Samsung 42" flat screen TV (model number LN-T4671F) is terrible, and I paid a few thousand for it. It is a little over one year old, and it clicks to turn on, and every time it turns, it takes longer and longer each time. Now, I've been keeping the TV on 24/7, so i will not have to wait ten minutes for it to turn on. They should fix/recall this! I will never buy a Samsung product again. I will spend the extra money and get a Sony!

What happened is the same as what happened to nearly everyone else. I bought 46" Samsung LCD in 2007. It is going on the third or fourth time the screen blacks out. The power source was replaced, and 2 weeks later, the same thing happens. What makes it even worse, is that Sears does not respond with a tech until over one week later, and then you have to wait another week for parts, but at least I bought the extended warranty, which expires in August 2010. This cost over $500.

We purchased a 42" Samsung TV model LNT403HX/XAC two years ago. Just after a year, the screen started to go black. It stopped for awhile and has now started to go black again. You still get the sound but no picture, it only stays on for a minute or two before going black again. We called Samsung and they are not willing to fix the problem. We paid almost $2000 for this TV. Please do not buy any Samsung products. They get rich off of hardworking people and do not back up their products even when it is a known common problem. We now have a useless TV and will have to buy another one which we did not count on.

I bought a Samsung LCD HD TV in Feb of 2009 with Model#LN-T4671F. I had warranty work done on it 7 months after I bought it. Now, after the warranty ran out, the same problem occurred again. When you turn it off and turn it back on in the morning, it just kept on clicking. At this point, it has been "clicking" for 3 days straight and will not turn on!

I bought 52" LCD TV 1.5 years ago. When power button is pressed, the unit will not power on. Blue ambient light under the screen glows and red LED light flickers in the bottom right corner of the case while a clicking sound occurs. Picture will not come on.

We bought Samsung LCD TV SM-LA37A550 37 on 11-07-2009 and within a month only there was a problem in it. The entire screen used to get blackout and when we complained to the service centre, they sent someone for repair. But he could not do so. We told them to replace the television. But they assured us that everything needful would be done properly and the television would not have any problem in the future provided it is taken back to service centre. He told us that the problem was grave, so the set needs to be taken to service centre. We allowed and got back the same set after a few days.

Samsung Flat screen TV, we bought it a year ago and now it won't even turn on. We have to pull out our 20 year old TV from a bedroom. It's a shame that TVs cost more now and work less.

Approximately, a two year old TV was fine until two days ago. Red power button clicking on and off, no picture or sound. Only way to shut it down was to unplug it. Paid repairman to pick it up and diagnose it and, depending on costs, repair it. But, after reading this blog, it doesn't look good. Shame on Samsung!

I bought a Samsung LCD about 1 3/4 years ago. When I turn the TV on, we hear clicking noise for about 3-5 minutes before the picture will ever come on. Sometimes it takes longer. When the picture does finally come on, most of the time it will have white or pinkish dots all over the picture. We then have to turn the TV off then right back on to have the proper picture. It seems to be getting worse as time goes by. We are just waiting for the day when we aren't able to get a picture at all. I won't ever buy another Samsung product again.

I purchased a Samsung 42" LCD TV, LNS4041DX/XAA on November of 2007. I paid $1,700.00. For the last few months it was taking longer and longer to turn on. My husband kept blaming the kids, but in fact just like the hundreds and hundred of consumers, we are having the same problem, the power supply. I went to Future Shop to see about warranty. Apparently, we do not have a warranty for a Samsung, but a 51" Panasonic we have never purchased, nor owed a Panasonic TV, yet this is our warranty. The girl said that we should call a technician. She had no concern that a TV, just 2 years old, paid them $1700.00 and it was a paper weight.

I purchased a 40" LCD TV from Best Buy in July 2008. The problems with my TV started about a week ago. The singing sound the TV used to make when powering on and off stopped. Then a few days later, it kept taking longer and longer to turn on--2 minutes, then up to 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and so on. The red light at the bottom of the front right panel would just blink on and off, then stop and go dark and then start up again. This was also accompanied with a humming and clicking sound. Well now, it doesn't power on at all. I paid $1200 for this stupid TV without the extended warranty, because I would expect that I wouldn't need it a year and a half in...

I purchased my Samsung TV LN40A550 in June 2008. It has the same clicking on and off problem, as described all over the internet. I saw that it was a capacitor problem. I removed board as described on Techreport.com forum but was not about to remove, replace, and solder. I called local repair and brought the board to them. They replaced with 25v capacitors instead of 10v. I put back it into the TV. It works! Cost of parts and labor is $99.00. I wasn't about to tackle it myself.

I bought 32" LED TV (Model: VA32B6000VR) dated January 31 here in Hai Duong, Vietnam and manufactured in Samsung Vietnam. It was delivered 4 hours late from SKDL. I used this TV only on 2 nights with a total of 4 hours to be exact .and then after a while on the 2nd night, the display suddenly disappeared, the screen become black, no picture, but with power, the light on the stand blinks. I immediately returned it to the store, but they refused to change it and asked me to bring it directly to repair center. (Imagine for 3days alone.)

Same problem as everyone else. Two years to the day I bought our 40" LCD Samsung, we started having problems. Power on and off with the clicking sound for a few minutes. A month later, the little pink pixels were dotted all over the screen. At last, we get to the colorful vertical pixels all over the screen. Now, no TV at all!

I bought a 52" 750 series in late 2008. Now I experience the similar problems with the rest of the people. TV is not turning on, just making a clicking noise. There is no picture; sometimes the red light flickers on the main face on the TV. No more Samsung for me.

I purchased a 32in TFT-LCD Television w/ extended warranty on Jan.24, 2007. My television will not come on .The light will blink but there's no picture. Please help.

My daughter purchased a 32" TV in September of 2008. In January 2009, it just wouldn't turn on. Of course, it is now out of warranty. What is annoying is that she is a college student who saved her money from her three summer jobs for her college expenses and her TV. How unfair is this? What can we do about this? There seems to be thousands of us with the same problem.

The TV has now had the entire screen replaced and the 3 internal cables inside. After the screen replacement today, the TV is still not in working order. I now have to wait yet again for them to send out a replacement power board and then wait some more for the tech who is 2 hrs away to get back out here and install it. I have since hired a lemon law attorney. I am posting their name and number here in hopes that some of you will find some solution to your own issues with this horrible company. Consumer Legal Services P.C.1-888-435-1474 They are located in L.A. Calif., and I hope that some of you will pursue your issues. There are no fees or out of pocket until they settle your case. I think that it is time for those of us who have made Samsung a brand to let these guys know that we will not be walked on by corporate America anymore. Good luck to you all and please pass this info along through other consumer web sites.

I purchased a Samsung 52 inch LCD flat screen in November of 2007. Two months after the one year warranty ran out, I encountered a distortion on the screen. I contacted the company through e-mail and they stated that since the warranty ran out that there was nothing they could do. I lived with the problem for one year and decided to have it fixed.

We bought a Samsung LCD 52' inch television in October of 2007. The last few months we have been dealing with blue lines down the right side of our screen and now we have millions of purple dots throughout our entire screen. We have had no help from Samsung and our warranty is expired. Do not buy Samsung. The estimated cost of repairs to the front panel exceeds $1300.00, plus labor.

I have a Samsung 40-inch TV LNT4061F having power cycling problems. I called Samsung and they told me I have no warranty. They said I have a component problem and that I should contact a local service rep to get it fixed or I would be out of luck with my TV. After looking into complaints on the internet, I am amazed at the number of complaints for the same issue. I guess I am really out of luck! I am going to have to look into fixing my TV at God knows how much. If I can't afford it, well I will end up paying to dispose of it. It is irresponsible for Samsung and the retailers that sell its products to push products known to have problems. Someone has to be able to do something about it. Please keep me advised of any news on this problem.

I purchased my 46-inch Samsung LCD (about to hit the 2-year mark) and haven't had any problems. I have recommended lots of friends and family to purchase a Samsung, claiming they are the best out there. A couple of days ago, on January 29, I turned on my TV and noticed pink pixellations. It startled me, and I immediately turned off the TV and left it alone for around 5 minutes.

Bought a 50" Plasma TV on October 1, 2009. TV shut off on December 14, 2009, less than two months later! It is now February 1st 2010 and Samsung has yet to get it repaired. One visit by a repair company didn't solve the problem. Second company is waiting for a part. This is ridiculous and will cause me to never purchase a Samsung product again.

Purchased a LCD TV Model No. LN-T4061F approximately two years ago. In recent weeks, my screen is covered in pink dots and my TV will not power up, but instead makes a repeated clicking noise. Now, upon powering up, a multi-colored band appears instead of a picture. Samsung refused to acknowledge the problem although well reported. Enough!

We bought our 40" Samsung LCD TV from Best Buy last Nov. 25, 2006. It has always made a clicking noise when you push the power button & takes a couple of seconds to turn [we now realize that probably was not normal]. After 2 years, it started taking about 10 seconds to turn on. Now, at just 3 years old, it was taking over 30 seconds to turn on (for a week it did this). And when on, the sound and picture would go out, and it just was not working right.

My Samsung LCD HD TV LN46A550P3F has an issue. Intermittently, picture will not come on with initial power up. Also, a thin blue line has developed on right hand side from top to bottom about 2 inches from outside edge. I have the TV for only a year and a half!

I bought a Samsung Flat Screen Model LNT4661FX 2 years ago. I called Samsung with problems of "smudges" on about 1/2 of the LCD panel and large squares that appear for about 15 minutes or until the unit warms up. I am used to CRTs lasting upwards of 10 years or more. Two years is not a good track record. Samsung could only give me a repair service. When I talked to the service center, they told me by the sound of the problem I was looking at over $1000. That is almost the cost of the unit. No more Samsung for me. Circuit City wanted over $500 for the extended warranty which was for one more year. I would have been past that year now. Let me know if there is a class action suit.

I bought 32 in. Samsung HD 1080p TV 6 days ago. Dish network couldn't get the receiver to work on that TV and I still can't get a VCR or DVD to work. Their manual is not explanatory. What a piece of **. I'll probably take it back to Sears.

I purchased a Samsung 56-inch DLP LED TV in June of 2008. About a month later it wouldn't cut on. Since it was still under a one-year warranty, a Samsung tech came out and replaced the power supply. Then in November the problem started again. Then in December it cut of and didn't come back on. After a mix up at the place I got it from about the extended warranty and they sent a repair man out to see what the problem was. I was told it the LED engine went bad and had to be taken to the shop to be replaced. I was told two week it should be done this on January 6, 2010. It's been almost a month and they said the LED was not the problem. So then they replace the power supply.

Our TV died (fails to turn on) 1 month after the 1-year warranty expired. Its model is Samsung LN40A750 40-Inch 1080p LCD. I called Samsung Customer Service and they were totally useless. They said that they could not help me since my warranty expired on 12/31/09. The TV died on 1/29/10, less than 1 month after the warranty expired.

The Samsung 50" plasma TV model, PN50A550S1FXZA was purchased in the fall of 2008 and began turning itself on and off on 01/27/10; it's the same problem everyone else has complained about. Not only have we only owned the TV for a year and a half, but it was not used for nine of those months. I called the Samsung customer care center and they sent a message to a local repair company that wanted to charge me $150 to walk in the door. I then found another repair company that only charged $85 and said it was either the logic or main board that's failed. I was surprised to find all of these posts with the same problem. I'm disturbed to find that Samsung is selling a top dollar self-destructing product.

I purchased my first Samsung 40-inch TV in July of 2008. My second in August of 2009. On 1/25/10, my second TV went out. On 1/30/10, my first TV went out. Same problem as with all of the other complaints. Come on people, let's get this class action lawsuit going and get our money back! We can be reimbursed from their stimulus/bonus/retirement fund. I have no TV and cannot afford to buy another one. I'm suffering from anxiety over the prospect of losing over $2000 of my savings to a jack-legged, dollar store quality TV manufacturer.

I called the 800 number about my 26-inch LCD TV that won’t power up. I gave them the model and serial numbers. The lady came back online and told me that it was out of warranty and they could do nothing. This is the same problem everyone is having and they are not going to stand behind their product. Sad.

I purchased a Samsung LCD television, model LNT4061F, in December 2007. A few months out of warranty, a problem developed whereby the right side of the screen started showing a double or triple ghost image. Like most other people with Samsung problems, I called Samsung Customer Service only to get the runaround.

As everyone else is stating, my 2-year warranty has expired. It started off with a few clicks to turn it on (along with the sound of turning on/off), and it's vastly grown. It clicks on and off, on and off (now without any sound other than the clicks), and is currently at hour number 3 for attempting to turn on. I've even tried unplugging it, letting it rest, and plugging it back in. And it still starts to turn on and off without me pressing power.

My Samsung 52" LCD 550 model, powers on and off repeatedly. The capacitors are shot. Samsung told me to stick it. I repaired it myself for $9.00 from Radio Shack. I won't buy another Samsung product again.

My Samsung 52 inch LN-T5271F TV started clicking when I turn it on, and started taking prolonged periods of time to turn on. It is already out of warranty and there is nothing Samsung can do. After much research, I have found out this is a common problem for Samsung televisions. Please, do not buy Samsung!

My Samsung 40 inch LCD TV purchased in 2006 has stopped working. I have the same "clicking at power on" problem that every other person seems to have with Samsung TVs. Since my TV is out of the manufacturer's warranty and the extended warranty that I purchased for $500 from Sears, I have no options left. I did not bother calling Samsung or Sears as I noticed that they are not even fixing problems with people under warranty. I now have a paper weight worth $2700, $2200 for TV and $500 for extended warranty.

Purchased a Samsung 46" LCD TV in January 2008. (LNT4665F) I have learned that our recent problems involving slow start and pink pixelation is related to a defective power supply issue. Inferior capacitors used in manufacture are routinely failing. Numerous posts over various internet forums relate to this matter, but Samsung denies responsibility. Samsung is one of the largest companies selling flat screen TVs in this country, but will not stand behind this product!

I bought a 42-inch LCD TV from Samsung. After a year, you have to wait for 30 minutes before it will turn on. I went to Samsung store and they told me that it was out of warranty, and they cannot do a ** thing about it. They should recall all Samsung TVs. Consumers are being ripped off by Samsung.

There is a long list of complaints for the Samsung TVs that start off having a clicking sound and the TV turns off and on and off and on. The complaints seem to indicate that a power supply problem is the fault (under ranged capacitors have been reported). While trying to research the problem to see if it was fixed, everyone I have talked to at Samsung are saying that there have been no such complaints reported. Obviously a large number of customers have taken to the internet to post complaints, because of the fact that Samsung will not admit to the problem

I purchased a Samsung 40-inch TV (model LNT4061FX, serial number AHBA3CQPA01629T) from Circuit City in December 2007. It was a supposedly top of the line TV and I paid over $2400 for it and they talked me into buying a Samsung surround sound/receiver/DVD player to go along with it. After three months the TV started making a clicking noise and would not turn on and off and the receiver/DVD/surround sound system would no longer play certain DVDs in it and was making a loud humming noise.

We have had 3 Samsung LCD TVs in our family go out in a one year period! One was still under warranty and the mother board was replaced. We bought an extended warranty and started having problems a few months later. They told us it would cost more to fix it than to replace it. We had another Samsung LCD that was just one month out of warranty and paid $400 to have it repaired. Then just recently, the Samsung LCD that belongs to my mother started having problems with the picture. It was 4 months out of warranty. She can't afford to fix it. Needless to say, after no help at all from Samsung we used our insurance check on the first TV to buy a Vizio. I was a loyal customer of Samsung for years. No More!

I purchased a 72 inch Samsung HD DLP TV. I bought it from Sam's Club in July of 2008 for $2,600. 36 days out of warranty, it shut itself off and on over and over again. I called Sears, as they were the closest Samsung repair listed on internet. 1st technician showed up in September. He made 9 trips and 9 attempts to repair TV. 13th trip to my house was last week. That's right 6 months later. 2nd tech was sent on trip 10, 11, 12 and 13. Sears tech told me that I could call Samsung technical assistant as they agreed to replace TV. But when I tried to contact Samsung, they would not replace it. Lots of bologna from both Sears and Samsung. Never again, I will not purchase anything from Samsung ever, ever again.

I bought #LNT4061F in Jan of 2008. Like 100's of others, I had on/off cycling issues, until finally the TV would not turn on. I had 2 faulty capacitors fixed, which allows the TV to turn on. However, I still have frozen pixels and thin, black shadows all over the screen, which I'm told is still due to the power supply. It's amazing that Samsung has done nothing. Take a page from Toyota and admit and fix the problem!

I bought a 40" LCD TV less than a year and it started acting weird couple of days ago. Each time I turn on my TV, the screen doubles and sometimes even triples up so that it looks like I'm watching a 3d movie without glasses. As soon as I touch the TV screen, it stops doing it and becomes normal again. I paid $1500 for a TV that seems to want to die after 8 months. I'm here hoping they can repair it!

This is a follow-up to a complaint I posted on January 19, 2010 in reference to the banging and popping noises made by my Samsung refrigerator. This was purchased and delivered September 15, 2010 and made these noises from the very start. Samsung decided they were normal, so they gave me absolutely no assistance and with calls to their customer service and letters to their president I got no where. I also wrote a letter to PC Richard and Sons’ president in hopes of getting some help from them.

I purchased Samsung LCD TV (LN52A650A1F) on 7/8/2008. On January 20, 2010 we experienced the similar power on/off cycling that been reported. I downloaded firmware, the newest version from the Samsung website and updated my TV. The firmware update did not help at all.

I bought a 40 inch Samsung LCD TV in November of 2008. A few days ago, it started clicking on/off/on/off for at least 15 minutes when turned on. It never really turned on at all for at least 15 minutes, then a screen with thousands of colored vertical bars came on, no sound and nothing else. I turned the TV off and tried again. It continued to click on and off for more than 30 minutes. I finally had to unplug the TV to shut the thing off. Every once in a while, the TV would stop clicking and the same multi-colored vertical banding would occur.

We purchased a 40" LCD Samsung TV in October 2007. About 4 months ago, the TV would not immediately come on. It keeps clicking on and off, and when it finally comes on, there are color distortions and lines on the TV. You have to turn it on and off several more times manually until the lines disappear. We called a cable company who came out and hooked up a new box and checked wires. We called Samsung who of course are refusing to assist as our "warranty" has expired. They will send a technician for $150.00.

My TV kept going off by itself. I looked on the internet and found out that I wasn't the only one with this problem, thousands have this problem. I told Samsung about this and they just gave me the run around.

Purchased a 50-inch plasma TV June 2007. August 07, 2007, it began making a clicking noise when trying to power on. I called customer service to complain and they never mentioned that this was a common problem. They sent out a local repair service that replaced four parts. It worked well for about another six months and then we lost the picture completely. They sent out the same company that opened it up and replaced all the parts. It worked well and then I purchased the 1-yr extended warranty which expired September 2009. Yesterday, January 24,2010, the picture was completely scrambled. It looked like the images were melting. $2300 plus extended warranty for a TV that lasted 2 years and 7 months. My old Sony television lasted 7 years.

Our Samsung LCD TV started clicking on and off after trying to turn the TV on. We bought it a year and a half ago. I will be livid if we have to junk a TV after owning it for such a short period. For what we spent for it. Unbelievable. Boycott Samsung.

I purchase a 52 inch Samsung LCD TV in September 2008. About two weeks ago, the power began to cycle off and on. At first, it was only once, but now it is up to about 10 times before the power comes on to stay. I called Samsung yesterday, and a named Vaughn, told me that unfortunately, she could not offer me any help with my problem because my TV was out-of-warranty.

On November 14, 2009, I purchased a Samsung TV model UN55B6000. I had it delivered on November 17, 2009. Everything was fine until December 30, 2009 when all of a sudden, the picture went out. I called Samsung after I realized that it was not a power problem on my end. I told them it was making a clicking sound as it was trying to power back on but wouldn't. I was told that since it was so close to the New Year that they could not get a service repairman out until January 4, 2010 at the earliest. They told me they had sent a fax to a local repair shop and they would be in contact with me. I waited until January 5, 2010 and there was no call. I requested another service repair shop to come out. They changed to another repair shop and sent a fax to them that I needed service.

I have now owned Samsung washing machine model #WF328AAW with Vibration Reduction Technology for six months and can't express my dissatisfaction strongly enough. I have tried every different type of wash load distribution, weight, volume and wash cycle variety and still come out with soaking wet clothes three out of four washes. Not to mention that even with a leveled machine, it still dances around the floor sometimes as far as a foot and half away, banging against my hot water heater and threatening to dislodge that! Energy saver? Right!

We bought our Samsung LCD TV in July of 2009. No extended warranty. The last couple of days, the TV does not come on until we have tried constantly pressing the on button for about 10 minutes or more. This sounds like a common problem. I thought Samsung was a good name. No more. A TV should last longer than this without having to repair it.

My only satisfaction is posting comments on YouTube to the Samsung Review ad videos so that others won't become Samsung suckers like me .I will never buy Samsung again. Post comments to Samsung ad videos on YouTube and let people know the truth about these junk TVs.

I purchased a Samsung LN-T4669F LCD television. Like many people, about two years later, the television would cycle clicking on and off for what was first about half a minute. It now takes a few minutes or more before the TV will come on. Research on the internet informed me that this was a very common problem with these television sets because of underpowered capacitors. Postings on the internet by others indicate that this problem will cost anywhere between $400 and $900 to have repaired.

On 27 Dec. 2008, I purchased a Samsung 32" LCD HDTV LN32A with a 2-year silver LED TV service plan. On 14 Dec. 2008, I called Micro Center to report that the TV screen had a blue line running through it. Service told me to bring the TV in to Micro Center. I was unable to bring the TV in at this time. On 16 Dec. 2008, I called the manufacturer , Samsung, to question if they could come out to look at the TV at my home. I was told to have the TV look at by the cable company. They helped by making the appointment with the cable company for me for a week or so later. When the cable company tech looked at the TV, he stated that the cable was not the problem.

I bought a flat screen Samsung 42" and it too just shuts itself off and on. Lucky for me, I just bought it. After reading these posts of others, I am taking mine back to Wal-Mart!

Same as everyone else, my TV (LN40a550) died a year and a half after purchase and won’t turn on. I'm furious. I spent so much money on what I thought was a decent company. Their customer service is a joke. They don’t care at all. I will never purchase Samsung again. I work way too hard to ** away 1500 bucks for a company who made $10 billion last year.

We were a service center for Samsung. We saw all the time how they treated their customers and how defective their TV's are. It seems that most will last a little over a year and their accounting practice are just as bad and their regional manager is worse. Post all your issues with Samsung on their Facebook site. Look for Samsung joke and go there.

I purchased a Samsung 50 inch plasma TV in 2007. When I bought it, I noticed a buzzing noise (especially during bright images). I was pleased with the picture, so I tried to ignore it. But as time went on, the noise grew louder and more irritating. Finally in early January 2010, I called Samsung and scheduled to have it repaired. They scheduled a repair through a third party repair shop. After a long delay and several reschedulings, the repairman said he would arrive on January 15th. I took off from work so that I would be able to meet him. He never arrived nor did he call to cancel.

I bought a Samsung 46-inch LCD TV LN46A50P3F a little over a year ago, so of course it is no longer under warranty. One night it just started making a clicking noise and now does not turn on. I called the Samsung customer service which was a joke but the lady seemed to come up with a quick diagnosis that the lamp went out which leads me to believe they have several complaints. She then gave me some number that was in New Jersey which wasn't even a working number and I live in WI a lot of good that does me. I can't believe Samsung does not stand behind its product. Believe me, I will never recommend Samsung to anyone!

The problem with our LCD 46” TV (model no. LNT4661FX/XAA version 5503) is it has no picture, just a black screen, but it has got sound. We've had it now for just over 2 years now. I called Samsung, but was told they can't do anything about it because it’s now out of warranty. Seeing that this is a common problem and a common response from them, I guess I’d be better off not buying any more Samsung products at all. Goodbye Samsung, hello Sony.

I purchased a 52" Samsung LCD TV Model-LNT 5265F in late 2007. The front panel failed and the Samsung repairman said it would cost approximately $1500 to repair. Samsung Executive Customer Service was contacted and they said they were sorry but could do nothing for me.

Samsung 46" LNT4671F has the same clicking and powering problems as so many others mentioned here. The problem started 2 months after 1 yr. warranty expired. I have written to Samsung twice with no response, clearly taking a 'head in the sand' approach to this clear recall situation. I am hoping that if enough people complain, we can create a tipping poin,t so please write if you have a problem.

It's the same issues as with everyone else who has bought a Samsung LCD TV. My model number is lnt5265fx/xaa . Within the first year of its life, it had to be repaired because the screen was delaminating. Now that it is 3 years old and 2 years past warranty, the screens started producing the purple dot effect. It also had a black line on start up; those went away within a few min and restart. iI finally got the clicking symptoms for, like, 3 weeks, then this morning it finally wouldn't come on even after 2 hours (01-21-10). I called Samsung had to bite my tongue in order to keep from ** the lady out. Would the "Better Business Bureau" be able to help if the Samsung company would even be affected? I would stand behind a boycott of Samsung products.

Quite similar to everyone else on this website, we handed $3000.00 to Best Buy for a Samsung Flat Panel TV Model LN-T5265F. Just over a year into it, now we just started experiencing the clicking start up problem. It started in the beginning of last week with just a couple of clicks. Now it's taking over 20-30. Not only is Samsung at fault for this, but Best Buy should also be watching for problems like this. If we would have purchased it at Wal-Mart, they would have taken it back and replaced it. Samsung should admit that there is a problem and fix these issues. Same as many on this board, my CRT TV in the basement is still working many years past its replacement. Come on Samsung, be the better company.

I bought le40r8 2 years ago.I paid $1100; it started to make clicking noise and won't power on. It seems to be a common complaint. Samsung advised me to contact DS Solutions who charged $47 call out charge plus cost of repair.

Samsung 46-inch LCD started having power-up problems shortly after the warranty expired (1 year). Over time, it started taking more and more time to power up. Towards the end, it was making five to ten attempts to start and taking more than four minutes to turn on after pressing the power button once. I found through searching the Internet that thousands of people are having the same problem with Samsung TVs.

I purchased my Samsung 42" Plasma in September of 2008. Six months later, we had faulty power supply and the TV wouldn't turn on at all. Luckily, that was under warranty. On Jan. 5, 2009, I came home to horizontal blank line followed by intense flickering and a couple of large black spots on screen. Out of warranty so I brought it to a shop. $400 to replace the main board. What a load of crap. Never again with Samsung.

Bought television set from electronic store listed above in 10/2007 and 1/2010 the service repair guy said we cannot have television fixed because the screen is too expensive for me as a customer to fix. This is the first problem I have needed to repair on television and I learned that my warranty was only for one year. The electronics store did not inform me of how to handle my warranty and due to warranty circumstances, I am now stuck without a television. I would have renewed my warranty after one year had I have known to do so.

Samsung 46" LCD LNT4665F started failing after 15 months. It kept clicking but took longer and longer to come on. Repairman came today and replaced 2 insufficient 10V capacitors with 2 25V ones and now works again. He could not believe Samsung used 10V capacitors in a 9V Power Supply Circuit Board.

I purchased a new Samsung LNT4665F LCD Television about 16 months ago, and TV clicks about 8-10 times before actually turning on.I went to Samsung website, and there are thousands of complaints for the same problem. I called Samsung customer service, and they would do nothing to help resolve the problem. They know there is a problem but said it is out of warranty. I paid $2000 for a TV that lasts a 16 months. I would be more than happy to start a class action lawsuit against Samsung.

Our year and half old TV when turned on will click. It started for a few minutes now we don't even turn it off because it took four hours the last time we turned it on. As everyone else has said, our warranty has expired and Samsung states it is our responsibility. A recall should be issued.

We bought a 52 inch Samsung LCD in 9/2007. It needs a new front panel, probably $1200-1500, plus the charge for the diagnosis. We do not have a warranty. We have called Samsung but the person did not offer much help. Obviously these televisions are defective--not all of them, but enough that Samsung has a problem.

I purchased my Samsung 50-inch Plasma model #HPT5054 on November 24, 2006 and based on the comments I've read here, I feel lucky to have had it last for 3 years. The clicking noise which proceeded the TV powering on started a month ago for 10 seconds, then 5 minutes, then 2 hours until finally dying this week. Who knows, it may turn on one last time just to say goodbye. But maybe the worst part of the experience is speaking to the most uncaring, unprofessional Samsung service rep who couldn't wait to get me off the phone once she learned the product was no longer under warranty, which I'm glad I didn't purchase anyway.

We bought a 40" Samsung TV about 2 years ago and now it takes anywhere from 20-50 clicks before the TV will come on. The TV is now out of warranty because we did not buy the extended warranty. I contacted Samsung with my complaint but did not receive a reply from them. We must now have the TV repaired. Unfortunately, I purchased 2 additional Samsung TVs for the bedroom and the kitchen and recommended it to several friends and family. I'm so sorry I did that and will never purchase this product again. Let the buyer of this product beware!

I purchased a LNT-4661F 46" LCD TV on 02/2008. About 5-6 months after we purchased the TV, it would turn off, on and off, on its own and make a clicking noise. Since it was still under warranty, we called Samsung to find out why this was happening. They informed us that this was a problem due to our satellite receiver box not sending a signal to our TV, and it had nothing to do with our TV. On 09/2009, our TV turned off on its own and won't turn back on; it just makes clicking noise. We've contacted Samsung and we're told too bad too sad, our warranty is up and there is nothing they can do. When we noticed all the complaints about this same issue, we called Samsung again to ask why this TV hasn't been recalled. We were told that they're aware of the problem but there haven't been enough complaints to warrant a recall. I beg to differ! This is $1,800 wasted on a TV that doesn't work.

I purchased a Samsung LCD TV LN46A650A1F on July 8, 2008. On January 18, 2010 we experienced the same power on/off cycling that so many have reported. No help or support from Samsung and the person I did chat with tried to get me to get the firmware version from the TV screen using the remote after I had indicated several times that the TV would not power on. Don't purchase Samsung! A TV should last much longer than 18 months. I still have my Toshiba after 19 years.

I purchased a Samsung 40" LCD TV in February of 2007. The TV was working fine up until Saturday, when it suddenly developed vertical lines across the entire screen. I have tried all of the inputs and it does not appear to be an input or cord problem. The TV also takes quite awhile to turn on and always has. I have read that Samsung used faulty capacitors in the TV's power supplies during the time frame that I bought mine. My TV is long out of warranty but I paid nearly $2000 for it and it seems criminal that a television could break like this after only 3 years. I had a Sony tube television last 20 years before I finally bought this LCD.

My Samsung flat screen is not even 2 years old. When we turn the power on, it just clicks like 10-12 times before it turns on. I was told this could be the power supply and could cost as much as $600 to fix. It is no longer under warranty.

I bought a 52" LCD HDTV Samsung LN52B630. It stopped working after only 2 months; it has no power. I had a house full of people over to watch football. This didn't look good for Samsung!

For at least the past year, our Samsung 62" TV shuts off sporadically. At first, it did it once, and some days not at all. About a year ago, I started contacting Samsung. They will not help me. I wrote letters, sent my receipt in, sent emails, and called. At first, I was told they had no idea what I was talking about. Then, at some point, I did see some new issues on their website, but none were mine.

LNT4665f LCD TV clicks several times before startup. There are red dots on screen until it is turned off and on again. Samsung should issue a recall. My TV is out of warranty. I will not buy another Samsung. This one is about 2 years old. $1800 TV may go out at any time.

I bought a Samsung 40" LCD HDTV in July 2007. Recently I have the TV turning on and off 8-10 times before a picture comes on. Sometimes, multi-color lines come across the screen, but no picture and only sound. I contacted Samsung. It’s beyond warranty, we won't help you. Call a service center. Service tech says problem is an inherent default of power panels in the TV. They can repair them for $250-$600, depending on the number of them. They say Samsung is aware of the problem but refuses to do anything about it.

On March 21, 2008, I purchased a Samsung 50" Plasma Flat Screen TV, model #HPT5054X/XAA. Over the past 10 months, I have come to regret making the purchase of this Samsung product. It provided good service and picture quality until the first week of March 2009, at which time the screen went completely dark accompanied by a burnt smell. It was picked up by Service Care Appliance Electronics which is the local Samsung authorized service and repair company. It was returned to me at the end of March.

About a year and half ago I purchased a Samsung 40" TFT LCD TV (Model #LN-S4041D). The picture does not come on. Occasionally I can watch it all day but then it goes blank with only sound. I had a RCA 32" TV that lasted me 15 years but sold it when I purchased a Sony 60" rear projection TV (still working after 6 years) and this Samsung. The problem I have is the fact that I spent over $1000 for this TV and it only lasted one and a half years. Is there any recourse? I'm just *** because the warranty is expired.

We purchased a Samsung LCD model LN-T4661 in 11/2007. Today it broke down with multiple issues. It is slow turn on and there's no video at all. After reading this website, I am very surprise and upset at Samsung. I will make sure that I will steer away any potential buyer from buying any Samsung product.

I bought a Samsung 40" TV 16 moths ago and now, when I turn it on, it takes hours for it to turn on. I am out $1,140.00 if Samsung refuses to fix this problem. I know other people who bought this same model and it does the same thing. And the reason why they bought it was because I referred it to them.

Like the many people before me, I have also been the victim of poor quality products from Samsung. I purchased a LN40A550 LCD one year and eight months ago. It worked fine until it failed to power on yesterday. Of course, it is over the one-year warranty, so Samsung will do nothing to help me. After looking online, it became very clear that Samsung is aware of this issue and used poor quality capacitors in several of their models. Despite knowing that these models were flawed, they did not inform consumers and hoped that the TVs would remain working until the year warranty had expired. Now I, along with countless others, am stuck with a broken TV and no recourse. It should be criminal to treat customers like this. I wasted $1,400 on a TV that should have lasted 10 years, not 1 year and 8 months.

As many others, I purchased my Samsung LCD Model #LN-T4669F about two years ago. In the last two months, my television would take a couple of minutes to turn on. Just made a clicking sound. It would turn on after a few minutes. It has just progressively gotten worse and worse. Yesterday, it took four hours, yes, I said four hours to turn on. This morning (Jan 14/10), I turned on my television at 7am. It is now 1:15pm and my television still has not turned on.

I am not to repeat what so many have already stated, but we too have had the same "on- off" problem. Our Samsung 42" LCD TV, model LNT4061, started having problems, turning on after the warranty had expired. It was not bad at first but now takes 15 minutes to come on and has purple light shining through the screen like pin points. We then have to turn the TV on and off until the screen is clear. It takes us 20-25 minutes before we can watch it.

My Samsung TV is just a year and a half old. I have to replace a power supply board at a cost of $300. This is unacceptable! I know I am not the only one that has this problem with this television. I feel Samsung should have had a recall and I should be reimbursed for this piece of junk product. I will not be buying anything that Samsung makes!

I have a 46-inch Samsung LCD TV. It is switching on and off when trying to turn the TV on in the morning. It's taking longer and longer each time. Now we're afraid to turn it off at all! In researching this, I found this website. Also, I found out there is a possible pending class action lawsuit in the investigational stages. This is **. I filed my complaint with them. You all should too. Hopefully, we will all be compensated in the end for this piece of junk Samsung has put on the market.

My office purchased 16 23" HDTV-monitors Samsung model #P2370HD. Out of the 16 monitors, three did not work out of the box. We tried to return them to Costco, but we could only return one as the other two were beyond the 90 day store warranty. This was due to a delay in installation of the office new computer systems. Therefore, we had to deal with Samsung to try to get our monitors repaired or replaced, despite the fact the they were brand new. We have returned the two brand new TV/monitors to Samsung; they would only send us poorly refurbished models that again did not work properly. Then, we contacted Samsung again to request new TVs as the refurbished models were just plain junk!

This is the 2nd time & 2nd Samsung television Model#LN32A330J7DXZA MSN#AK243CDQ740596V that has broken a few months apart & they are giving me the serious run around. 1st broken on 8/12/09 because it would not power on. Samsung repaired it on 8/26/09. On 12/14/09, the TV has no sound & black screen. On 12/14/09, I called Samsung 800-726-7864 @ 8:09am s/w Kathy. Samsung could no longer help me with my TV & refused to transfer call to supervisor. Of course, she was wrong and my television was still in warranty! On 12/14, Rebecca ext.10556 who set me up with repair service with AT&T Connect Tech and extended the warranty until end of the month.

First of all, I would say I have to laugh at reading these entries, but actually this is no joking matter. I bought my television, a 32-inch, from "Tweeter" in Maryland who is now out of business. I cannot find any open story in the area, so I assume the entire business went out of business and not just my local store. I started having my issue in September 2009; I looked up Tweeter on the Internet to no availability. I then called Samsung. At first I was told that FIOS (cable) might have sent a bad signal and unplug it for a few minutes and then plug it back it. Well, this did not work. I was fooled because the CSR was very nice. I called back and was really mad because the television was out of warranty and they told me that they had never heard of this problem before. The young lady told me it was recycling.

I am going to make this short, or try to. If anyone would like more information, please feel free to contact me. I have a Samsung 55" LED TV that was bought May 2009. In November 2009, the remote stopped working. I called Samsung and a local repair place came out. I wish Samsung was like this repair shop! Within seconds, he found out that I needed to replace my controller because it failed. I called Samsung and they said I would have a new controller within a week to 10 days. December 8th 2009 and no controller. I called Samsung and spoke with an agent. He said to wait three more days. December 11th 2009, no controller.

This is the second time and second Samsung TV model#LN32A330J7DXZA MSN#AK243CDQ740596V that has broken a few months apart and they are giving me the serious runaround. It first broke on 8-12-09 because it would not power on and repaired on 8-26-09. On 12-14-09, the TV has no sound & black screen. On 12-14-09, I called Samsung at 800-726-7864 at 8:09 am. I spoke with Kathy. Samsung could no longer help me with my TV and refused to transfer call to supervisor.

My 40" Samsung LCD flat screen clicks several times before coming on and then it has vertical stripes and so you shut it off and it comes back full of dots so you shut it off again and then you have a pictures. But now we can't get it to come on at all so I guess it's off to the repair shop. I have no extended warranty. It's only two years old. I bought it from fry's online and missed the warranty button, then I could go back and buy it and the fry's store said they could sell me a warranty because I bought it online!

I received my 27” Samsung TV as a Christmas gift in December of 2007. Right away, I noticed that it would take a few seconds to come on. Within a year, it went out and had to have a repairman come out and fix it. It was still under warranty. As of lately, we would go to turn it on and it wouldn't come on and a few times while watching TV, it would go out.

On March 30, 2006, I bought a Samsung DLP television model HL-R5667W, S/N 810W3CEA100062E at Rex Appliance Store in Janesville for $2,199.99. At the time, Samsung was highly recommended as the leader in DLP technology and quality. Since the purchase, I was very pleased with the quality and performance of the television.

I have purchased Samsung TV in the 3rd of August 2008. From yesterday onwards sound is not coming, only picture is coming. Please send your technician at the earliest. Thanks and regards.

Samsung TV 40" LCD (model T4061F) 2 years old has the same issue as many other Samsung TVs. It would not come on right away. It makes clicking noises and each day takes longer to power on. When it does power up the picture is just vertical colored lines. Power down/up again and a picture appears. I will never buy any Samsung product again and will make it a life long mission to steer anyone who will listen away from Samsung. I paid $1400.00 for this piece of junk. I suspect it is an issue with leaky capacitors as shown on the YouTube video. Samsung should do the honorable thing and issue a recall to have them repaired at their expense. The TV will not power down now unless it is unplugged and the picture no longer appears. It just clicks. $1400.00 for only 2 years of use. There should be a class action law suit. This problem seems to be widespread across several models. Fire hazard, anyone?

After having a problem with my LN-T4071F LCD TV I decided to look for recalls on it. When turning on, it clicks twice with no picture. After a few minutes, it finally comes on. Your website said it was in need of repairs which were going to cost 1/3 the price of what I paid for it new. I paid over $1800.00 for these TV 1 1/2 yrs ago at Circuit City. I also had a similar problem with an older model Samsung HD flat screen which cost me over $150.00 in repairs.

We purchased a 61" LCD HDMI 1080p Samsung TV ($2,998.00) from Sears in November 2006. June 2009 (2 1/2 years later) TV started shutting off on its own. We would turn it on and it would turn off again. I would turn it back on; it would make a whistling sound, then you would here clicks, flash, more clicks and then the sound when TV shuts off. We called Samsung; of course warranty expired. We were told to contact local TV repair for Samsung. We did. We paid $80.00 to have the guy look at it only to tell us 4 days later that there is nothing wrong with the TV but that we had over 30,000 hours of TV time on the set. Are you kidding me? 30,000 hours?

I bought my 1500.00 clicking machine in Jan 08 (from good ole Circuit City). Before the first year the "No input" screens blocked the view for 20 minutes after turning it on. They had a guy come out and fix it. Then the clicking started a year and a half later. It was only clicking on and off for five minutes or so, now it does it for thirty minutes. I now leave the TV on 24-7 in fear it will never turn on again. Of course Samsung told me they can't help. When I told them I would by another company's TV next time, they did not care. When I receive my substantial income tax refund I will be replacing this garbage with a better product.

Same clicking problem as everyone else.

In a little over 2 years, after paying the now defunct Circuit City Store chain $2,800 for a 46"Samsung LCD flat screen HDTV model # LNT4661FX/XAA, I am now left with an average 20 to 30 minute on and off clicking monster with dispersed white pink and colored drag lines all over the screen when it finally turns on. It is appallingly outrageous when you consider the fact that I still own a 25 year old Sony and a 20 year old 46" projection Hitachi, which still work beautifully. I don't like being ripped off by Samsung and told by some voice on a phone representing a company, whose blatant disregard for the consumer, that there is nothing they can do for me.

I purchased a Samsung television model LNT32424X/XAA at Circuit City on April 29, 2008. In September, the television began to turn off sporadically then would not turn back on or would respond slowly. On September 22, First Choice, the local Samsung repair service, came out and replaced the power supply. The TV worked for a few days then went out completely.

I purchased TV a little over a year ago. This TV is now making clicking sounds. Turns out the issue is widespread, the capacitors are not the correct size. Samsung has corrected the problem for 50 people back in August, but has since stopped offering assistance. This TV cost $1,400 and will cost about $400-$600 to correct this issue. Samsung is well aware of this prior to the expiration of my warranty.

I bought this $2500.00 TV in March of 2008. It started having problems 6 months past the one year warranty. It cycles for several minutes before it comes on and sometimes the pixels are showing up not working on the screen. The cost of replacement is $2500 and the cost of shipping and repair is $800.

Please never buy a Samsung television and tell as many people as possible. I have the same clicking complaint as is posted all over the web, and they will do nothing to stand by their product. Clearly, their customer service representatives are at the end with dealing with this problem, because they are incredibly unhelpful and try to put you on hold as long as possible, so hopefully you will just go away. Please don't buy Samsung!

I bought a Samsung LNT4053HX/XAA in August 2007. The warranty ended in August 2009. Now in January 2010, the TV started turning itself on and off continuously with no picture. Samsung referred me to their repair shop. I don't see why anyone after 2 years should pay to repair a TV that cost $1,200. These companies are taking advantage of their consumers. This is abuse. I will never buy another Samsung again.

On January 6th 2010, I filed consumer affairs report in reference to Samsung TV 46" 1080P LCD HDTV Series 6-650 purchased with Best Buy Augusta, GA. I contacted Samsung Executive Customers Relations on January 7th and spoke with their employee, Courtney ** in reference to claim number ** and giving the same information as I stated in my consumer affairs report of January 6th.

On August 11, 2008, me and my wife bought our 1st big screen, a 50” Rear Projection DLP TV model #HL5UA650C1FXZA, Version #PKO1. After a short sixteen months, we we're going on to bulb/lamp number four. It will be no surprise to many who have researched Samsung that they want nothing to do with it, simply because the year warranty expired, even though the service man they hired in the first place to replace the bulbs/lamps agrees that there is a bigger problem causing the bulb/lamp to blow.

Same shut on - off problem and clicking noise on Samsung TV ln52a650. Technicians have been out twice and repaired with faulty parts but problem still exists. I want them to take care of the problem. There is enough evidence to bring a class action lawsuit. I have paid a lot of money for this TV and experienced missed work and stress due to faulty product.

I bought a Samsung LN-T4053H LCD TV in June of 2007. It worked find until about 3 months ago when it started the infamous popping sound when trying to turn on and it takes 2 to 3 minutes to come on. I had my Home Theater guy look at it and he said the TV was going out. Since it's out of warranty, I know I'm screwed. After reading all the problems with Samsung, this will be the last product I buy from them. I even did all my research on Consumer Best Buys to find out what the best TV was, and this was in the top rating. How are they getting away with this issue without any consequences?

I bought a LN-T4069F Flat screen LCD TV on February 2008 in December 2009 the TV started clicking continuously more than ten times before it would come on. Now, it won't even come on. Just like everyone here, I called Samsung and they told me the same thing. It's out of warranty but we can send you a service man at your expense. This really [is bad]. I paid 1500.00 for only two years of use. I too will never buy Samsung. I also made a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission, consumer protection agency. Everyone should do the same.

Well, you heard one, you heard them all. I purchased my Samsung Lnt4665f model TV in May, 2008. As of May, 2009, I have been getting a clicking noise anywhere from 2 minutes to a now astounding 15 minutes before it powers on. Like many other customers, Samsung told me any repairs are out of our pocket. They will not stand behind their, sorry to say, garbage products. Please, somebody help us. This TV cost me $1500 on sale. It's only a matter of days before it stops turning on altogether.
