After about 2-3 weeks from the time my 55ku6000 broke down, it is now back to life with a new lcd panel, sabi ng service center it would cost about 80% of a new tv of same model. BeforeI always say that the big 3- Sony, Samsung and LG would be a better buy than the others yet, after my experience I doubt if I still have that same feeling. Anyway, I just hope that it would now be ok until the next 10 yrs...
