 No Video Only Audio after 26 months of light usage Jul 11, 2010
Yes, I bought this TV from BestBuy in May 2008. After 2 years and 2 months, a few days ago, the first problem occurred. As I switch on the TV, the screen/video is completely black and only the audio is audible. Iam able to change the channels and also increase the volume, but the video does not appear. the Screen is completely blank. Iam out of warranty now. I have just contacted Samsung service and checking the parts for LN40A650 in [...], the PCB costs around 200$.
I am confused and wondering why i purchased a LCD TV..
The technology is not mature at all.
Remember the days when i used to have my CRT for 15 years.

 Good TV but hidden issues. Mar 25, 2010
I got this TV Aug 2008. Within a couple of months, the red frame change shape and had to call in customer service to repair it. They had to replace the frame which changed shape due to overheating of the tv. Again now Mar 2010, I see that there are capacitor problems. My TV is dead now because of a power supply problem and got an estimate of $300 to repair it. This issue is not related to the capacitor problem but another issue altogether. I have a surge protector, but the power supply just died. The TV is awesome otherwise with respect to quality, picture and looks. But there are certain defects that you tend to see after the warranty expires.
 Great tv, but volume on bezel is problematic Mar 02, 2010
We have owned the TV for over a year now and throughly enjoy this TV. That said, there are two issues, one moderate to major and one minor that may prove problematic at a later date.
The TV has the volume control as a touch panel on the right hand side. We use this frequently. The panel is not actual buttons, but some type of touch sensor. The last month the volume control has begun to act up. While watching, the volume will go begin climbing to max volume. Typically, the TV gives a warning that this is about to happen because it will move one or two steps (e.g. From 15 to 16). Then less than a minute later it starts moving all the way to 100.
This is not a remote issue as we have been able to duplicate with all remotes with the batteries removed.
We have had moderate success cleaning the side panel to remove all smudges on the glass. But given a couple weeks, it begins to act up again. Since it worked fine for over a year I am concerned it is not a cleaning issue, but a sensor that is failing.
The non-issue is the remote. It works fine, but has begun to rattle. Something has broken loose in the remote. No problems yet and may last many years more.
I try a firmware update and a good cleaning. If problem persists Samsung will hear from me.

 Great Picture, But Too Many Problems Feb 09, 2010
I bought this HDTV in May 2008 from Amazon based on both Amazon customer reviews, third party reviews, and Samsung's reputation for quality HDTVs. While I was initially quite happy with the product, very good picture, features, ease of setup, etc., after only about 9 months of use, the TV began displaying an error about "Fan No. 2" and shut down after about 10 minutes of viewing.
A call to Samsung support got a technician out who, after dismantling the HDTV, identified a faulty $2 buck plastic fan, apparently intended to cool the graphics chips, that had failed. He replaced it and we were back in business
Seven or so months later, I turned on the set the day after having watched the Saints/Colts Super Bowl game and noticed a buzzing sound and alternating red and green horizontal "scan" lines progressing up the display. The picture was good but the scan lines were distracting and indicated a problem that could get worse
A call to Samsung support, of course, found me out of warranty and likely requiring an LCD panel replacement which also likely would cost more than the value of the HDTV.
Samsung needs to bring the component reliability up before I buy again even though the picture/feature quality is good.
 One year review Dec 19, 2009
First, for those that had problems at the one year mark -- thank you for reminding me! I had planned on buying the extended warranty prior to my expiration (not sure if it is still in effect, but I did get 3 extra months over the standard one year warranty by registering on-line). Anyway, so far I am extremely satisfied with my purchase! I had done much research prior to buying my first LCD and it was the massive amount of 5-stars on Amazon and all of the comments from the satisfied buyers that clinched the deal -- although I did go to a store to view the quality first-hand. Even though I waited for a sale to patronize one of my local stores, since I was hesitant to purchase an item this large on-line for fear of damage in transit, Amazon's price and service just could not be beat. All my fear's went out the window with Amazon's white-glove delivery service -- it was first class (although I did not need them to do anything more than remove the outer box to confirm that the TV was not physically damaged) -- the delivery people were friendly and courteous, and it had not been in a huge truck filled with lots of boxes -- just a small van, for "just my tv" (almost :-)
The image quality is second to none -- with the sound being quite good, but I am only using the Surround-Sound speakers that are in the unit and am more than happy with them -- excellent clarity and fine for those that do not need to blast out the room (I'm sure with external speakers it would sound incredible!). It is truly a pleasure to watch Blu-Ray discs with this TV. The colors and clarity are tack on -- compared to others that I saw while in the store. Only one thing -- for those who had not viewed a movie on HD or Blu-Ray before: some of those actors and actresses are not as perfect as you may have originally thought. :-)
Another clincher for this tv over some others (same with the Blu-Ray player) was ease of applying upgrades. My tv/player is not hooked up to any cable, internet, etc but I can easily download the firmware onto a dedicated pen-drive and quickly apply them to the units. Just be careful to follow the easy instructions and the process is effortless.
There is only one 'problem' that I can think of in the year that I have had the unit -- I had set the Mhz rate to 120 when I first set up the tv, thinking since I purchased it because of the faster-than-others rating, I should use it. I was shocked to watch my first Blu-Ray and watch what appeared to be a cheap soap opera -- come to find out that IS what happens at 120 Hz. Well, it was terrible and at first I was disappointed -- it was cool to see so much detail, but it did not feel like a movie anymore. I did a little research and found out that only for gaming and such do you need the 120 Hz setting; set at 60, the picture is still crystal clear but you feel like you are watching a movie! "Problem" solved! That's it--overall no problems, no issues, just a great tv! Hope you enjoy yours as well!

Consumer Reports Says Buy Your HDTV at Amazon!
Washington, D.C. (October 31, 2008) -- When it comes to price, Consumer Reports says shoppers are most likely to find the best deals online. And the publication called three ecommerce sites "standouts" in this year's Consumer Reports ratings of electronics stores: Amazon.com, Crutchfield.com and B&H (bhphotovideo.com)
The magazine's survey was based on more than 38,000 purchases of electronics, including flat-screen TVs, between January 2007 and June 2008. The report indicated that online stores consistently offered better prices. (The magazine's full report can be found in its December 2008 issue.)
"Buying online can be better," the magazine said in a press release. "The higher-rated electronics retailers in Consumer Reports annual reader survey are Web sites. Readers who bought online rated their overall satisfaction at 90 out of 100 -- higher than those who bought in a store. Additionally, many Web merchants offer free shipping, even on TVs, which could spare the hassle of struggling to fit a bulky carton in the car or paying a local store for delivery."
Consumer Reports said that while no single retailer scored excellent in all shopping categories, Amazon.com and Crutchfield.com came closest.
