Update on Samsung .......... They agreed to pay for all parts necessary to fix my screen (which they believe is either the cable wiring from the board to the panel or the digital control board). I still have to pay the $230 labor charge, but they indicated I would receive future help if anything else goes wrong in the next 6 months.

Also, in conversations with AT&T Connect Tech (who does all of the Samsung repairs) ....... talked with one of their techs and even though Samsung was willing to replace the power board (that I replaced the capacitors on) - the tech told me that I'm better off keeping the repaired board because of the much better capacitors (because otherwise I'd probably have the same power board issue in another 18months).

He also said that repairing the capacitors is a very common problem ......... and that Samsung believes that replacing the capacitors is the best thing to do (they don't believe that failure rates are caused by faulty boards).

This seems to...

Leave all these LCDs and Plasma tvs alone. I have them both and they are not as good as my 65'inch DLP. Last year for Christmas i bought the Toshiba Talen 65'inch DLP. It might be hard to find but it's worth it if you can get it for under $2500. Everyone loves this tv. It's huge and my 60'inch plasma does not even come close as far as picture quality. Plasma and LCD are also flat which is great but they look tiny compared to a 65'inch DLP. Turn off the lights at night and it's amazing. This is the closest you will ever get to the movie theater experience. Unless you get an actual theater built in your home.
