Samsung LNT4669 46-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV User Review

(See update below) Bought this tv about 18 months ago, and we LOVED it – everything about it was excellent… until… about three-four weeks ago, when we’d turn it on, it would click and click … finally turn on. Initially the clicking lasted only 5 -10 seconds.

Now it’s up to a minute and we fully expect that soon it will simply stop. Until we have a fix, we’re leaving it ON, with the cable box turned off. But as I see from other reviews, Samsung will NOT acknowledge that there is a problem, and if you want it fixed, it’s around 500 dollars. That’s unacceptable.

I am going to try and get Samsung to repair this and will post an update should I manage it. Otherwise, just assume that they won’t do a thing.

*****UPDATE*****: AFter posting this review, I decided to chat with SAMSUNG online… when I explained the issue, even though we are out of warranty, they told me that IF the capacitor was the problem, which it sounded like it was, they would take care of it. They set up an in-home repair, and the next day the repair company called to make an appointment. The technician just left and the problem is gone. He said this IS common, and that Samsung has only recently decided to cover it… even last November it would not have been covered. So, if you have this problem, DO CONTACT Samsung. He also told me that Samsung has changed the product and claims the problem is fixed with the new capacitor. He also showed me the physical evidence on the top of my capacitor, where rather than flat, it was bulging out at the top, which he said was all the evidence he needed to identify the problem and fix it.

I have revised my STARS back to 5 on everything, since other than this problem, we have never had any other issues with it and love the TV.
