I have a 55" LED Samsung that is almost 2 years old and the top corner of the screen is now going off colour.
Samsung say they won't fix it as it's out of warranty, this set was £2300 when I bought it.
12 months warranty is not really good enough for something that is (by the selling price) a "Premium product". Sales of Goods Act? Aren't expensive items supposed to last for a reasonable amount of time? I think a court would agree something that cost £2300 should last longer than 2 years!

Yes, upto 5 years+. I used this "Rule" on BMW a few years ago when a £400 alternator packed up after 3 years (And 3 weeks). They moaned but coughed up in the end. I might still use it on the TV if I get around to it.

Forgot about this...we bought an all singing all dancing (at the time) Samsung HD flat screen TV about 3 years ago, around 18-24 months later the screen failed, apparently a common fault (google it there's loads on forums about it) but unfixable and out of warranty the TV was scrap and what did we end up with, a Panasonic! Which has been great.
Will never touch a Samsung TV again.
According to me anyway...

No brainer get yourself a Panasonic VT plasma. Samsung are ok but build quality and reliability is not in the same league as a Panny.

I have a Samsung LCD tv that is around 8 years old, at the time it had great reviews but it is slowly dying (bit dramatic i know) but it will take ages to switch on (up to 30 minutes) and is a nightmare at reading my blu ray player which can take up to an hour from putting the disc in to watching the film! ( it was never an issue before the tv played up)
looking into this my tv did well to last 3 years and it affected just about every one out there, at first Samsung refused to acknowledge this but after a while they were repaired (some FOC, others had to pay) it seems that at some point my tv will never switch on again and the repair will be around £150
when that happens or when i can no long stand how long it takes to turn on (by the end of the year at the most i reckon) its a trip to JL for a nice Panasonic plasma. Im sure Samsung make great tvs but based on my experience and how hard people had to fight i will go elsewhere next time

I've had my Panny plasma for 8 years now. I've never had any problems with it whatsoever. When the next one gets purchased (some point this year), it'll definitely by another Panasonic.

Never a sign of a problem. Brilliant buy.
