Samsung TV Reviews

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.

I purchased a Samsung TV (Model: HLT5076SX/XAA / Serial Number: AHFM3CMP302579P) less than two years ago. The TV stopped working--no screen image and no sound. In researching in the Internet, I found multiple complaints from customers regarding these same issues with their Samsung units. When I called Samsung, the telephone operator acknowledged the problem, but refused to service the unit quoting the one year warranty terms. I was referred by a service contractor that quoted $95.00 for diagnosis and a minimum of $300.00 for repairs. Samsung should be legally addressed for their failure to assume responsibilities, disclosed the product's known problems and failing to do the customers right by doing a recall of the defective products. The TV cost $1,400.00, and Samsung just write off what seems to be a design flaw by quoting the warranty terms. Do not buy Samsung as they do not support their products.

I bought a 52" Samsung LCD TV (Model LA52M81B) for approx KWD$1800 in 2007. In less than 1 year, the TV started buzzing when turned on, the display would flicker and then go off with the audio still playing from the TV. I contacted Samsung and its distributors thrice and they could find no problem. The TV was taken to their service center at least 2 times and was kept there for long periods by the service center. They then replaced the TV under warranty with a similar set after countless run around and dialogue and with the authorized technicians claiming that they could find no problem.

I purchased a Samsung LCD flat screen a year and a half ago at Best Buy for 0ver 700 dollars. Last week, I set the sleep timer and the next morning the TV would not power up. Samsung customer service would only say take in for service. I did and I was told that it has a bad LCD screen and that the cost of repair exceeded the cost of a new set and that it was not repaired. I used a visa debit card and not a credit card and Samsung only gives a 1 year warranty. There are many web entries citing the same problems with powering up problems with Samsung TVs. There is obviously a defect with Samsung LCD TVs which they will not address.

I have a Samsung 42" flat screen TV that I have owned for 2 years ($1,800.00 by the way). After about 16 months, the TV started clicking several times before coming on, the same complaint as everyone else seems to have had. Today, it has dots that will not go away and takes over an hour to come on. I have contacted Geek Squad and set up a repair time. I will be filing a Small Claims action after having it repaired and suggest everyone do the same. I have written Samsung and to no one's surprise, never received a response. Word of mouth is very powerful so everyone spread the word about these products. I will not buy any Samsung product again and hopefully will get the word out so that others don't make that mistake.

"Problems with power switch / possibly capacitors. I have been having the same problem described at this link. Capacitors replacement required. It looks like many Samsung TVs are doing the same. How will this be resolved? Should I start doubting the quality of Samsung? Thank you! (link here)"

I own a 50" DLP Samsung TV that all of a sudden started to get white spots all over the screen and is continuing at a rapid rate. Customer service stated that it is not their problem since I am out of the one year warranty and that I need to get my own TV repairman. They wouldn't even talk to me. Samsung does not stand by its products at all after one year and they act like they never heard of pixel problems before.

I bought from Sears in June 2007 a Samsung LNT4061F 40" LCD TV. 3-4 weeks ago, the TV began taking over a minute before a picture would appear. Sometimes, there would be a purplish hazy vertical curtain on the screen which would go away by turning the TV off then back on. I thought the problem was caused by Time Warner Cable Co (TWC) which had instituted a new system for their cable boxes which the TV was plugged into.

I received my Samsung 32-inch TV (LN32A650A1F) for Christmas 2008, after quite a long research on the brand and model. Since I own another TV, I kept this one to watch my Blu-ray DVD. I have watched approximately two movies a month for 12 months (not much usage). Well, on December 31st, 2009, as I was watching a video, the TV went dark (sound was still on). It seems that overheating turns off the picture.

We purchased a 61" Samsung DLP TV (HL-6186W) around two and 1/2 years ago. In August, we began getting the 'bulb error' light code on the front panel and the TV began randomly shutting off. I replaced the bulb, but the problem continued. The TV works for a while then just shuts off. The panel lights blink and you cannot turn the TV back on until they stop blinking.

Looks like we are joining the never ending list of complaints about the Samsung TVs. I bought a Samsung LCD 339 series 3 about a year and half ago and the thing won't turn on. It’s pretty suspicious that it does this right about the time the warranty runs out. Any type of lawsuit coming and I will be involved. You can count on that as much as you can count on these TVs breaking after the warranty expires. I’m out of $900.

Two years ago, I purchased a Samsung 40" LCD TV. I have had problems since the beginning. Picture quality is only good from HD source. Lately, a repeated clicking when I push the power button. I am discovering that I will need to replace some capacitors, however, now I am reading that it may not be worth it because some of them have stopped working even after the capacitors have been replaced. Samsung Canada have not been helpful since I have contacted them with my last problem. Go figure! I will not buy any other Samsung product. I will go back to my old TV until those glitches have been corrected on those "state of the art" TVs.

Just less than two years after purchase, our Samsung LCD started showing pink dots at times on the screen (not consistently). Then, it started clicking several times before turning on. Now, we have to turn on and off several times for about 30 minutes before it will finally click on. I had called customer service last week to lodge my complaint. Something as everyone else. As everyone else, we had researched that Samsung is the best. We will not buy another Samsung product. Now, a repairman will pick the TV up Monday (not the one Samsung had call) and we will see if it is worth fixing.

I bought a 40 inch Samsung LCD TV 14 months ago and had 12 months guarantee on it. I tried to power up and it never wanted to start up. I tried everything and it hasn't powered up. I bought it at Sears but they are closed for the next 2 days for New Year's. I will contact them but after reading this site, I have a feeling I won't get much from them or Samsung. I will try and get it repaired on the side but it makes me very angry. If there is something done in a lawsuit count me in!

My 46-in. Samsung TV started the clicking noise and died just after the warranty expired. I fixed the TV myself by getting info online. I'm still upset with Samsung. I went on YouTube and posted a comment to every Samsung TV ad that I could find. My post said: "Before you buy a Samsung TV, put Samsung TV clicking into a Google search and read about thousands of Samsung customers that are screwed and pissed off. This was a very good way to get the word out about their junk TVs and I urge all with this problem to do the same thing. It's just a little bit of satisfaction, but it gets the word out to people that might buy this junk and directs them to this site. Don't buy Samsung!

I purchased a Samsung DLP TV a little less than 3 years ago. At 13 months, it stopped working. It went dark and the famous 3 lights were flashing. I ordered a bulb and, well, that was not the issue. Samsung had a repair person come out. They were shocked it wasn't working because only 700 hours of TV had been watched. They replaced color wheel, and after the second visit, it was fixed. The TV just broke again. I'm now the proud owner of 4 bulbs. Guess what? It's not the bulb but the wheel again. I called Samsung, and frankly, they don't really care. TV is almost 3 years old, they say. I say the wheel shouldn't keep breaking, especially with limited use. Samsung just doesn't care about the defective product they are selling. They will not take a look to see if it's something that is wrong with the TV and that it will keep breaking.

I had purchased a Samsung 40" LCD model LN40A500T on 11/28/08. I stood outside in the cold for this television. Exactly 13 months later, 12/26/09, it suddenly had a black tinge to the screen. I could not explain it. I had called Samsung customer service reps 4 days later and had explained to them the situation. They insisted that I am out of my 1 year warranty, which expired on 10/01/09, even though I had purchased this TV on Black Friday last year 2008. I am really frustrated because as a customer, they should at least had someone come out to my home and see if it's a manufacturer's defect. I had called twice and both those times, they used the excuse that I am out of warranty!

My Samsung 40" LCD turned off and back on a few weeks ago for the first time. I decided to get online and see if this was a problem. And bam! I find this site! My one-year warranty ran out in March of this year, but since I bought it with a Visa card with benefits, the warranty is automatically extended an additional year. I will surely put in a warranty repair even though my TV has done this only once.

I purchased a Samsung 50 LCDTV from Sears in 2006. I have had the set repaired three times. The first two repairs involved the set turning off. The last repair was for white dots throughout the screen. Unfortunately, the last repair fixed the white dots but the set now turns off whenever it wants. I was told that there was a defective chip that caused the dots and that the turn-off of the TV is caused by the improper installation of the back door. This door rests against the turn-off switch (located at the bottom back of the TV) and if not installed correctly, it will trigger this on and off mode. I have called Samsung since they recommended the vendor and the problem has not been solved. I really believe that one does not pay $2,000, so that a TV stops working 3.5 yrs later and on top of that, have it repaired three times. When will Samsung admit that they have a problem? I will never buy one again which when one is retired and on a fixed income may be never.

I purchased a TV a year and half ago for $800 on sale. Now it does not work. I understand that this has been happening with their TV as far back as 2005. They have not recalled or let the consumer know of the defect in the TV that happens to go out in a year or so from the time of purchase, from complaints I read online.

I bought my 42' Plasma TV in December of 2005. Within the first year, my husband and I had to replace the bulb. It worked fine until the next year. The picture started to blank out. There was still audio for a few seconds, and then nothing. We turned the television on and then off but it did the same thing. Samsung did nothing to help us except say, "You should call a repairman." Clearly, Samsung is not doing its job. We called a repairman to come and fix it. He charged us $610 just for an estimate and that estimate was high, $1,500 to fix it. It was then fixed.

I have the same complaint as the hundreds of others here. My just under two-year-old Samsung 46" LCD clicks several times (over 30 seconds) before it will come on. Samsung told me it's out of warranty and referred me to a couple of local repair shops. $250 to fix a problem that lots of people are having. It seems like there should be a recall.

It sounds like this list of complaints could simply be copied. In less than 2 years, our Samsung started to turn off and on, has roving color spots and takes forever to actually turn on to watch. Sears won't help, and Samsung won't help. It is out of warranty, by weeks. I expect when you purchase a high ticket item, it should continue to work. I still have Sony TVs from 1984 that still work.

I own a Samsung 46" DLP television that is about 2 1/2 years old, and the picture is nothing but green squares and will randomly power off. Looking at the research, it appears this is a common problem with their digital board and the chip. I, too, will not buy another Samsung product.

I purchased a Samsung LCD TV on April 1, 2008. It's an LN-T4669F. A few days ago, it wouldn't turn on and all I could hear was a clicking sound and the red standby light blinks. I see that a lot of people have this same problem. I phoned Samsung and they informed me that it was out of warranty and they could refer me to a local person who could fix it for me. I asked the service technician if this was a common problem and he said he hadn't heard of the problem before. Then I found this site and was amazed at how many people have the identical problem I have. I did a lot of research before I bought this TV, and based on everything I read, this TV was the best one that I could afford.

I purchased my 46-inch Samsung one year ago. We are now noticing the white spots. From the messages of others, they are experiencing the same thing. I just called Samsung and they are willing to have someone come to my home to fix the problem. I'll let you know when/if it's done.

We also have a useless 42-inch Samsung TV out of warranty that is now dead after the constant clicking and failure to power on. When you pay over a thousand dollars for something, you would expect it to last over 2 years! It is totally unacceptable for Samsung to continue with their game of ignoring the problem and their customers. Obviously from the looks of all the posts all over the internet, this has been going on for months now with no response or help from Samsung. A company this big should not be allowed to get away with this blatant act. I am very disappointed and will never be purchasing a Samsung product again and am telling everyone I know about it as well. If Samsung would just step up and do the right thing, they might restore some of our faith in them. As it is now, they are hopefully losing business left and right. Why hasn't an attorney stepped up to handle a class action suit? I would think this would have been done by now. Please post here if you hear about one and everyone keep the heat on Samsung until they hopefully do the right thing.

Samsung is selling defective TVs with total disregard - Samsung LN-T4642H is a worthless pile of trash. I have been a very longtime Samsung customer and loyal supporter. In the past, I had marveled at their technology and enjoyed their many products; however, I recently purchased a new 46-inch LCD HDTV from them for about $1000 and was very pleased with the unit until now. It has been about 19 months since I made the purchase and now, for no apparent reason, the LCD TV (model LNT-4642H) has been taking longer and longer to turn on. It is currently taking about 15 clicks to go on or about two minutes and is getting worse. I have called the Samsung customer support line to report the condition only to be given the polite runaround (I feel your pain thing), that there is nothing that they can do because my set is out of the warranty period of one year.

Three days ago, my Samsung LCD TV model #LN-T4669F wouldn't turn on and only made the clicking noise everyone here is talking about and the red standby light keeps blinking. I didn't get any warning like other people here. I've had the TV for 20 months. I didn't get the extended warranty because I have two Samsung CRT TVs that are still operating. I've had three of their cellphones and they've been great phones. I mistakenly thought they were a reliable brand. I did my homework before I bought the TV and this make and model was the best bang for my buck.

I bought a Samsung 54" DLP TV in May of 2007 for $1,200.00. When the picture went out in October 2009, I called them. They said it was the lamp. I bought a $130 lamp. I installed the lamp. I still had no picture, only a faint image. I called Samsung again. They said it was something else and call a repair person. I called the repair person and they told me that it would be $1,030.00 to repair the light engine. He charged me $170.00 to tell me that. After two more calls, I was referred to the "escalation department." They told me and I quote Miss Kendra: "We don't cover our product past the one year warranty… There is no one above me to talk to."

Like so many others that have filed complaints, my wife and I have a large flatscreen Samsung TV that takes forever to power on. Just like the others, it started shortly after the warranty expired. As soon as I called a local Samsung repair outlet, they were very much aware of the problem and were glad to quote an outrageous price to repair. It looks like it will be cheaper to buy a new set. Samsung will not be getting anymore business from us.

This sounds like the same song, but here's my experience. I purchased a Samsung LNT3232HX 32" LCD a little more than a year ago. About 3 weeks ago, the picture began ghosting with very dark output. I turned the set on/off a few times, removing power and even tried resetting the display but to no avail. I called Samsung, they were no help. They recommended a TV repair shop in the area and I called to make an appointment. Meanwhile, the TV began displaying a normal picture so I called and cancelled at which time they explained they thought it was the main board which would need to be replaced for $500.

I have a Samsung 40-inch LCD model# LN-T4061F television purchased in September 2007 from Sears that has started clicking when trying to turn on. After reading all the comments from others who have purchased Samsung products and are experiencing the same problems, I am in favor of joining with those who want to participate in a class action lawsuit against Samsung in order for them to correct and address the problem we are experiencing with their products. I once had a Sony TV which traveled to 3 foreign countries and 4 states in 20 years and never had a problem, so I didn't, like so many others, see the need to purchase an extended warranty. Judging by comments from others who purchased the warranty, I don't believe it would have done any good. This is downright corporation theft and profit greed! I am so disappointed.

Best TV ever until the clicks. I bought the TV almost two years ago. I contacted Samsung six months ago when the clicks started. First, for about a minute; then, they lasted ten minutes. Then, twenty minutes. Now, I am waiting since 7:00 am, twelve hours later. And guess what? No picture. It also won't turn off unless you unplug it; the only good thing is when it turns on, the picture is still great. The first time I called Samsung six months ago, the guy I talked to said he has never heard of that problem in the lnt4671f model. I asked him if he has ever looked on the internet because there are so many people with the same problem with the same TV. I was like even you tech staff admit there is a problem with the capacitors. Just fix the problem; stop pretending there is no problem. Why don't they accept responsibility for the problem?

TV will not power up on first attempt. Once you depress power on via the remote, the TV power on light goes out, sound tones are heard, power on light starts flashing off, then the light comes back on, and the process starts over and over until the TV comes on. I called the help desk after the TV was on. They requested me to power off TV, unplug it, depress the power on area on the TV for 10-15 seconds, plug it back in, power up TV. It starts on the first attempt but after powering down the TV and the next attempt failed, it took the TV about 20 to 30 attempts to come on.

My wife and I have a Samsung 52" LCD model # LNT5265FX which cost $2500! The TV is 15 months old, and I went to turn it on and nothing but clicking noises and finally it turned on. So I researched the problem and found out that thousands of people have had the same problem. I called and Samsung gave me the runaround and we also purchased a $600 insurance policy with the TV that was supposed to take care of anything wrong with it. So we contacted Conn's where we purchased it, and they said it was only covered if the TV was stolen and they gave us the runaround. It looks like we were conned!

I purchased a Samsung 58-in. plasma in July, accepted delivery on 8/12/09. On 12/13/09, the screen went black. On 12/14, I called Geek Squad because we have the 4-year extended warranty ($330). On 12/17/09, the TV was picked up by 3rd party repair shop. On 12/23/09, I was notified by repair shop that there is a hairline crack in the screen causing the TV to power down. This crack is so minute, so miniscule that it can only be seen when the TV is on. This explains why the tech couldn't find any visible physical damage to the TV upon arrival to my home. Repair shop advised me that Samsung will not cover physical damage and asked if I have extended warranty. I do, so we called Geek Squad. I am then informed that they also will not cover the repair or replace the TV for the same reason. I am then advised to physically go to the store.

We have had our Samsung 46 LCD TV for 14 months. We turned it on this morning and nothing but clicking, clicking. clicking. I called Samsung and after trying what they told me with the remote (by the way, with no picture, it's hard to do), they told me the warranty expired 2 months ago and to call a repair shop. I see that there are over thousands of complaints with the same issue and no help from Samsung.

I purchased a Samsung LCD HDTV 1 year 2 months ago and am having a problem with the HD picture/sound. It's crackling, breaking up, and distorting sound on my HD channels. I called Samsung, and after 60 min. of online chat and various solutions that didn't work, they told me I would have to have a tech fix it. I am not going to pay money to fix this almost new TV. Had I known of all the complaints about Samsung, I would never have bought this TV. I will never buy Samsung again as their customer service stinks and their product quality leaves much to be desired.

It appears that I, too, am a victim of the dreaded Samsung HDTV LCD power supply failure (blinking light, clicking on/off but no picture). Repair estimates are at $347 on top of of my original purchase of $1500 and it's only 13 months old. If Samsung wants to keep loyal customers, they had better start compensating/recall ASAP.

I own a Samsung LNT5265FX/XAA TV. It was purchased in November of 2007. A week ago, I started seeing purple dots when it was turned on. If I turned it off, the dots would go away. I spoke with a Samsung rep that said it sounded like a dead pixel. She also said that because I didn't take out the extended warranty, the repairs were not covered. She set me up with a repairman that said it sounded like the power supply was going out. The repairman told me the repairs would start at $300 if I took the set to him. That's about an hour each way from where I live. I paid $2800 for this set. It should last longer than 2 years. I'm upset because I recently purchased a 37" Samsung and will be experiencing the same problems. Samsung should pay for repairs even if there is no warranty. Automobile companies have recalls all the time after the warranty expires.

I will not ever purchase Samsung product again! I have purchased my LN46A650A1F LCD TV from Sears, Ottawa, Canada. After 14 months, it has started turning on/off by itself and its picture is distorted and has very loud noise.

I have an LCD and a DLP for nearly 2 years. Both went out the same day! The DLP needed a bulb changed, it works fine (for now). The LCD would not turn on, so I read about the capacitors that are cheap. Sure enough, I took the back off, the top 2 capacitors were bad (the tops of them were bulging up). I took the board out and to a repairman because I can't solder and it cost $45 to change the capacitors. It's not bad for a fix but I spent $4000 for both TVs and Samsung would not help one bit if you are out of warranty. The bottom line is, they need to recall all the TVs and take the cheap parts out and replace them with standard parts.

I purchased a 32” Samsung TV, set it up and my husband plugged in the cable to the back of the TV. It caught fire and sparked. It burned my husband’s small finger and curtains.

I have an LNT 4061FX LCD TV that I’ve had problems with. First I noticed a burn image while I was still under my 1st year warranty, and they would do nothing to help now I’m having a problem powering on. It constantly clicks but won’t come on. I haven't had this TV for 2 years yet. After some internet research, I’ve found this to be a common problem with Samsung, but when you call, they act like it’s the first time they have heard of it. I will never buy anything from Samsung again and would like to warn other consumers that they have the worst customer service.

I purchased a 40" SAMSUNG LCD 1080P last year. After 15 months of having the television, it has stopped working. It started by making a loud pitch noise when I would turn it on. Then the picture stopped working. The television now turns itself on and off until I unplug it. I can't use the television anymore. It is completely broken and I am without a TV. It really upsets me because this TV was a gift and Samsung is supposed to be a good product. Samsung needs to do something about this because there is no reason that my television that I have had for 15 months is broken. We need to get a class action lawsuit going.

I have 2 Samsung TVs, both 42-inch: 1 plasma and 1 LCD. Both are under 3 years old and both have started doing the same thing. They have sound but no picture, clicking noise on start up. Someone should make Samsung accountable for their products.

I purchased a Samsung LN-T4669F LCD TV in March of 2008 from PlasmaBay.com and also a so-called extended warranty from RepairTech.com. Both companies are out of business. What a joke. I am having the same problems everyone else is having with the clicking and powering up the TV. I can't believe this after spending over $2000 for a TV that worked great until this issue and I am finding out that I can't do much about it except fix it myself or pay the rip off repair people to fix for you. I feel bad for even recommending Samsung to anyone. Not anymore, they got my last hard dollars from me. No more Samsung products in my home and now I am an advocate against Samsung crap. I should have bought a Sony. It's too bad we don't have an American TV company anymore instead of this Japanese or Chinese crap.

I purchased a Samsung LCD TV LNT4042H in August 2007. Now I have a problem in the TV starting with click sounds and delay in powering up. On research, I learned that thousands of people who bought Samsung got the same problem with many of their models including LNT4042H due to defective electrolytic capacitors used on the power supply. The substandard capacitor used manifests itself after a year or so of operation, resulting in consumers being left high and dry since the warranty period is over. Samsung should own up responsibility to this well-known problem and offer to fix this issue.

I purchased a Samsung 42” Flat Screen TV in June 2008. The last 2 months, the TV would turn on and off. I kept blaming the cable box, finally the TV would only flash a red light and click, click, click and on! So I called a TV repair company. They picked up the TV and said it would maybe be $200.00 to repair it. They claim replace parts to the power supply. Wow! The repair bill was $415. What a rip I paid over $1,200.00; now that I read power just needed parts to be soldered. Now I feel the TV repair ripped me off also because they only had the TV for one day, what I’m trying to state how did the TV repair company get the parts in one day? I honestly feel that Samsung Corp should pay the repair bill!

Fifteen months after purchasing our Samsung 46" HDTV, we too are now experiencing the constant clicking and no picture problem. Living in a rural area, we are forced to transport the TV over an hour and leave it for a week to be repaired! Quite a bit of research time and money was spent on this purchase and I am truly sick that it went out immediately following its warranty period. I definitely agree, Samsung should step up and initiate these repairs!

Add me to the list of terribly disappointed Samsung buyers. I have a LNT4061F model TV that turns itself off and on at its own whim. Nothing seems to help. I called Samsung, only to be told that I am 3 months out of my one-year warranty. Gee, thanks for that. Reading back over the complaints just on this site, it occurs to me that a class action suit is the only thing that is going to get Samsung's attention. Anyone else ready to play hardball?

I have just read all the complaints while researching the problems I am having with my Samsung 52-inch LCD that we purchased in August 2008. It sounds like Samsung has a serious issue with the relay clicking noise. Our LCD just started doing the clicking noise this week. When it first started, it clicked 4 times trying to turn on the TV. Now it is up to 20 times of clicking before the TV will come on. I guess from what I have read, soon the TV will not come on at all, great for spending $2,700 on a Samsung. They should be responsible for repairs since there are so many complaints.

We spent over $2000 for a 52-inch Samsung LCD 18 months ago. It is broken and Samsung won't do anything about it. The TV tries to turn on but nothing happens and it just keeps cycling through to turn on. It is 6 months out of warranty and Samsung said, "Too bad." The Customer Service people acted like it was my problem for not buying the extended warranty. I spent $2000 for this. Is it unreasonable to think it will hold up for more than 18 months? We are going to have to pay $300 to have it fixed. Never buy Samsung.

After 18 months, our new Samsung LN-T4061F suddenly lost its picture. I have owned many TVs before but never had one go out after only 18 months. I contacted Samsung to see if there was any extended warranty or help that could be offered since it was out of warranty by 6 months and met with the typical, "We're sorry but no help here."

I purchased a 40" LCD in 09/07. I have been having the power cycle issue for about a month now maybe more. So by now it could take up to a day to turn the TV on so I just leave it on (a fire hazard I'm sure). I spoke with customer service via live chat and they just referred me to a local repair comp. My father-in-law heard of this company and had used them once before to repair his washing machine with great success.

I too purchased a 40-inch LCD Samsung TV. After the warranty period, it would not power up. I called Samsung several times and no answer. They just don't care! I went on a website and found the cure. If you can solder, you can fix the TV yourself. There are four capacitors in power supply that have blown because they are of marginal value. Search the web for this repair. The replacement capacitors can be purchased at Radio Shack.

After 2 years of owning my 42" Samsung LCD, same thing as most of you, it started with the clicking for 5 minutes before it turned on which led to 10 minutes then 20 minutes then 2 days! Now, I am unable to turn it on at all. I called Samsung and inquired about a recall. The rep just gave me the number to the parts distributor and said the repairs would have to come out of my pocket! I am just shocked with the massive number of problems they will not do a recall on these TVs. I will never purchase another Samsung again and I will also do my research before making such a major purchase!

I purchased a Samsung LNT4042H 40-inch LCD HDTV, 1 1/2 years ago. I, like thousands of others, have the same problem they are having. The TV clicks or click cycles several times while it is trying to power up. Eventually, it won't turn on at all. It is well documented in thousands of complaints that the problem is caused by defective capacitors in the power supply. This could be a fire safety issue also. Samsung needs to recall these power supplies. Poor quality gets around and Samsung will be known as junk but they will be out of business if a fire from this product kills someone. I won't buy any Samsung product again.

I, like many others, purchased a lemon 42" Plasma from Samsung. The model is HPT4254 purchased from Circuit City in May 2007. The power board is on melt down and TV clicks on and off for hours. It currently does not work at all. Samsung customer service refused to acknowledge the problem and passed me off to service technicians that want to charge me a minimum $300 service fee. I might as well buy a new TV and not a Samsung. I don't know why I ever switched from Sony in the first place. I have a 42" Sony LCD (1st Generation) in my other room that is nearly 11 years old, and works great! I have some colleagues that are attorneys and I have advised them to look into this problem. Samsung really dropped the ball on this manufacturing defect. What a rip-off!

We are having the same problem with our Samsung 42 inch HDTV. We paid $1,200 for this TV 18 months ago and this clicking sound that everyone else is complaining about started about 1 month ago. The picture is still good once the TV actually turns on. It is taking longer and longer for it to actually boot up and from what I'm reading, it looks like it will continue to get worse. I'm more afraid that it will catch fire, which is what I've read not only on this site, but on other complaint sites as well. How is it possible that a company like Samsung can get away with this? It seems that most of their TV's are defective! Unless they compensate us for their defective merchandise, I will spread the word to my friends and family. Never buy another Samsung product! Unfortunate!

I have a 40" Samsung LCD TV that will not start up for 4 to 5 minutes, if at all. Sometimes, it will have sound, sometimes no sound but a picture. I usually have to start it 3-4 times to get it to work but it's getting progressively worse.

I purchased a 46" Samsung LCD TV model #LNT4661FX/XAA from Circuit City in Paducah, KY on 12/15/07. I have had problems with the TV in the last few weeks. I have to keep pressing the power button several times before I can get the set to turn on. Sometimes, there are pixels all over the screen. I turned it off and turned it back on and the pixels are gone. Once the TV is on, I have no problems so far. I researched the issue online and found many people are experiencing the same problem and that it is because of defective capacitors in the power supply.

Well, here I am again! My Samsung finally died one week before Christmas. I purchased this in Thanksgiving only two years ago. I previously posted a complaint on this site around September 2009 but wanted to warn you about this new problem. You might want to unplug it before it causes a fire hazard! My Samsung was taking 1 to 1 and 1/2 hours to turn on. One day last week, after 1 and 1/2 hours turn on delay, I had a fairly decent picture, watching QVC to purchase Christmas gifts and boom! I heard a sound as if someone was standing in the living room and shot me with a gun. LOL, funny but not really! I literally ran to unplug it and looked for smoke! Since that time, the picture got worse but still came on but picture was awful. My husband was watching last night and thought he could just turn it off and back on like usual and it would come right back on and clear up. Wrong! Once again, two hours later, still trying to come, it shot us again. LOL. He thought I was exaggerating!

Like so many people on here, my Samsung 40 inch LCD began popping at start up and this problem gradually got worse. After reading other people's horror stories trying to deal with Samsung and being quoted repair cost in excess of $200, I decided to look for another solution. Thankfully, there is hope! If you're even slightly mechanically inclined, you can fix the problem yourself. I did it for just under $20 and now my TV works like new again. Simply go on YouTube and do a search for Samsung TV repair. There are a few tutorials on how to fix the problem. It's relatively simple. The problem is a couple of capacitors that routinely go bad in Samsung TV's. If you don't trust in your own abilities to fix the problem, you may email me and we can discuss whether I might be able to do it for you. Good luck, everyone.

First TV is Samsung 32 inch LCD TV LN32A550P3FXZA purchased on 10/11/2008 at Circuit City for $849.99. It started to cycle power on and off on 12/12/09. While doing so, the unit does not respond to the remote control and TV side controls. The only remedy was to unplug for 12 hours then reapply power. The TV then functioned normally. I suspected that the problem will return after reading many other complaints similar to mine.

I bought a 40" model LN40A530P1 in Aug. 2009. Same as everyone else, it just clicks and will not come on. Of course, I did not buy extended warranty. I know that I am toast.

I have a 42" flat screen LCD TV model HP S4253, model code HP S4253 X/XAA. When we first got it, the TV kept turning itself off. It needed to have its power board replaced because it was faulty. Yesterday, the TV caught on fire and smoke came out of the back where all of the hardware is located. Not good. The TV is not even four years old.
