Flickering...I had the same problem with my LA40S
51B...started just 1-2 weeks after I got the unit. I even took a video of it just to be sure when the samsung guy came, he'd know what I was talking about, in case the flickering didn't happen while he was around...fortunately it did..I gave him a copy of the video I took.
At some point I coudn't even see a picture anymore after a lot of flickering...
The flickering happened irregardless of the source...using DVD, TV, Component, HDMI, VGA connections. I even removed the AVR in case it was adding noise. It should be fine even with or without the electric fan. I have a large electric fan just next to the TV. I even added a surge protector to see if that helped... so....
Have it replaced. Likely it is a defective LCD panel. Don't settle for repair specially if within warranty.
Ask the vendor to send the samsung guy in to check it. You'll be talking with samsung directly from henceforth until you get your replacement. So make sure you have their number...call them every day if you have to. A little help from the vendor might work...but bottom line, they just sell, samsung has your replacement unit.
Mine took 1 month turn-around-time.
I upgraded to R71B from the 51B at the same time (this delayed me 1-2 weeks I think). Once they have your new unit...they will deliver...and pullout your old unit at the same time... that's why I keep the box around until I am certain nothing is wrong with the unit.
You'll need it.
This was a year ago.
Hi Guys,
Napansin ko lng po na ang Sammy ko eh nagfliflicker ang screen kung :
1. Mag lipat ako ng bentilador ko : say 1 tas gagawin kong 3.
2. Pag nagturn din ako ng knob sa washing machine..eh malayo na naman ang outlet na yon
Naka AVR ang TV ko...
Another thing na napansin ko eh kapag nanonood kami ng DVD eh lumalabas ung DISPLAY na DVD Receiver kapag nag lilipat ako ng bentilador at washing machine....
I am not sure what's going on with my SAMMY..is this a potential DEFECT???
What should I do? Should I return it to ANSONS?
Anyone who's experiencing this
THANKS!!!
