Thought they'd fixed it last time, been good as gold for about 2 months.
Playing up again now >:(

My TV is nearly 9 and works well - just a bit of fade in one corner on bright scenes, normally never noticed

Samsung ? :-/

I bought a 26" Hitachi in 1983 the tube started to show signs of failure in September last year. The picture turned slightly yellow and squeezed in at the sides about once a month.
Paid £429 when new, only one repair, new transformer, and the engineer said it was a mechanical issue as it was turned off at the button evey night. he said to put it on standby from then on, gave the TV last year and is still working, the fault still happens about once a month still.
Paid a lot for the TV at the time, but deffo got value for money. my concern is that by todays standards I dont think I could replace it. I reallt cant see a TV built today doing 16/20 hours a day in use and lasting 25 years, and if I paid top dosh then, what would it cost for the equivelent today.

The tubes do go even good ones, but mine does look OK until you get a bright background and then my wife didn't notice until I pointed it out.
Focus is still spot on.
I am winding Jaime up as mine is Sony ;D
-
I thought I had screwed mine up a few years ago. but a pair of speakers each side of the TV thinking they were magnetically sheilded :-/ and all the screen turned a nice bruised purple colour. :-/ Still carried on like brand new TV afterwards though. :y :y

Any CRT tube is knackered after 5yrs. Doesn't matter if its a decent old school Sony one, or a Tescos special, its a problem with the format.

Samsung ? :-/
Yup

Ive got the same TV as your TB and the panel went faulty but I insisted on a replacement TV.

My supplier - those useless tosspots in Blackpool under the name Beyond Television - absolutely wouldn't budge. Now its been repaired twice, I will have a go again....

Yup
In my idea they have the sharpest view quality normally and I decided to buy one (still waiting as the old sony in home still working )
but how can a product showing this quality view can have defects :-/

Its an excellent set, hard to fault. Except mine has an intermittent fault they can't seem to fix....

The people I bought mine off wouldn't either so I got intouch with Samsung and told them I would never buy Samsung again.

may be insisting in change is good idea.. Sure theres a law in UK protecting the consumers like here..if something is new and needed repair several times the seller must replace..

Its easier to get it replaced before you've accepted a repair ::)

Not according to Trading Standards or CAB ;), esp if you can prove the fault was there within first 6 months (and thus 'not fit for sale'), and as they came and repaired within first six months, they can't argue that one ;)
