After Two Years Black Death
I purchased my Samsung 40″ LCD LNT- 4061F in June 2007 for $1400. Last week I started experiencing issues with the TV recycling itself, turning on and off repeatedly. Now all I see are vertical white lines, “that is when the TV actually stays on!”. I called tech support and I was walked thru all the steps necessary to recycle the TV to fix the problem, no such luck! I I did a little Goggling only to discover many other Samsung owners with the exact same issue. So I called Samsung again explaining that this problem seems to be wide spread and if they were aware of the problem and possibly willing to work with those effected. The answer was no and no. So here I wait for a for the service company to call me back to schedule my 75 buck look-see. This will be my last Samsung purchase EVER!!!

Sound Problems
I have owned this set for about a year now. The picture is great, but the speakers sound like they are cracked at certain frequencies. Especially with old movies or TV programs. Quite annoying.

Started to fail after 15 months
I got a great deal here on Amazon buying this tv in March 2008. They beat Best Buy, Circuit City and Frys on the price. No sales tax and free delivery.

However, after 15 months (3 months out of warranty) it started having issues turning on (it would make clicking noises for up to 10 minutes before it would turn on). After some internet sleuthing, my husband ended up replacing some cheap parts. After a trip to Radio Shack and digging out his trusty soldering iron, I think it cost us $15 (that included his lunch at Del Taco).

But the issue remains: $1100 tvs should last longer than 15 months. It makes me question purchasing Samsung products in the future.

If you’re having issues, google it, find yourself a local geek to go pick up the parts at Radio Shack, solder them in, and save some money. It’s a 20-minute fix, mostly unscrewing screws from the back of the LCD and reattaching them later (driving time not included).

Failing after just a year!!!
What a piece of junk. I purchased this set in March of 2008. Now, a little over a year and of course out of warranty. The television is experiencing issues with staying powered on. When it does power on it usually comes up with most of the screen covered in purple pixels. This is completely unnacceptable!!!

I called Samsung support and they suggested unplugging the TV for a full minute to “reboot” the TV. This, of course, did nothing to help with the problem. Besides trying to locate my own repair service (no Samsung authorized repair center within a 50 mile radius), this was all they suggested…

I am now stuck with broken television, that hardly lasted a year!! What a joke!

I will never purchase a Samsung product again.

Unreliable – SAVE YOUR MONEY
Great picture – when the aspect ratio is not automatically readjusting.

Randomly changes the aspect ratio. Paid way too much for this CRAP.
