irishfield Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Ya got that right Jed ! I've still got my 26" RCA in the basement that I bought so I could watch Bugs Bunny in colour in 1982 ! Still has a perfect picture. As to a good shop Peter.. sorry can't help you with that anymore. Know a good guy for the older stuff.. but not the new stuff.

ctdd2006 Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Have you tried barking at samsung direct? Their service is actually not bad. The DLP's were a bad tv and they may work with you. Worth a try. I own a store that sells tvs and I have been (rarely) impressed but it happens where a manufacturer steps up. In this case they may as there are many documented problems with the DLP hence why they didn't last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
