More idiocy. I've had a Samsung 214T monitor for my Windoze Desktop for
at least three years, and it has never hiccuped.

I purchased my first on in April 07. It died in late September 07. It
turned off while watching it then would not turn back on again. I
contacted samsung customer service and got jerked around by 2
different repair centers they outsource warranty work to. It took
samsung until january 08 to replace it. Last night I was watching the
replacement set and it died wile watching it in the same manner as the
first. This one lasted almost 7 months! Now they claim I am no longer
under warranty and I am more or less stuck purchasing a new
television. I will NEVER buy another Samsung product again after this.

Beware the flat tube!
*Purchased this TV and returned it after a week. Couldn't stand the
picture anymore. Overall picture was okay, but the flat tube
apparently has problems. Scrolling tickers across the bottom of the
screen appear to be waving in the breeze. I looked at other flat tubes
when I returned it, and saw 3 more on display with the same problem.

straight and level. Also, very difficult to get accurate colors on

Buyer Beware
*Too bad I didn't research this product before shelling out $400 at
Best Buy. It died after 5 weeks. I can't return it to Best Buy after
thirty days. I went three weeks before Samsung replaced the
motherboard. It failed again. We haven't had a television again for 3
weeks. Now Samsung says it needs another motherboard. Samsung won't
replace it, or say that it's unfixable. I don't want it replaced with
the same television even if that were an option. I've never had a root

Lasted 7 days!
*Picture was great for 6 days! On the 7th day, it rested.

Now it just displays a white zig-zag line on a grey background. Glad
it blew up during the return period.

After reading other reviews today, I assume mine must have slipped
past quality control. Most units last about a month before major
problems and the buyer is stuck with warranty repairs. I guess Samsung
will have to eat this one!

Dead TV
*The new Samsung died today ... we bought it new about 5 weeks ago.
When I went on line and did a review search for this particular TV, I
found that other people also had this problem. We are going to return
this one and keep trying until we get one that works for more than a
month. Why? Because my husband likes the picture, size and price. We
bought our last TV in 1989 and it lasted until January 2008.

Volume problem and now, no power at all.
*The volume of this model does not seem to go any further than about
32 and any higher setting doesn't give you any more sound.

Have had this TV for almost 11 months and the power has now gone.
Having it repaired under warranty but not buying another one.

monitor to a television set!!!

Ah, no there isn't. My Samsung LCD 4096 HDTV allows me to plug a
computer into it, there is a 15 ping monitor port on the back of the TV.
It is great for playing games. There isn't much difference between a
computer monitor and a TV these days except for the tuner.

======================================

You're comparing CRT and LCD display technology in this example. It's quite
a bit easier to design a reliable LCD display than one using a CRT. Lower
voltages and lower power dissipation in the LCD units.

If there is a large number reliability problems with OPs model TV, I'll take
a SWAG and say it's under-specified electrolytic capacitors. Or, bad
capacitors as received from the vendor. A few years ago there was industry
wide problem in the Far East with capacitors that were not up to specs.

Apparently they are used to this problem. We called Samsung tonight
and they said they would have a guy out within two days to "fix the TV
here on site" as they "already know what the problem is". When dad's
went out, they changed the main board, but it could be the Capacitor
problem you noted as the unit will come on for about 10 seconds then
turn off and the power input button goes out. After being unplugged
for several minutes and repluged, the power input light comes back on,
but once the unit is turned on, it goes out after a few seconds
again...

Doesn't matter. A monitor is a monitor, it does not have the ability
to be a receiver. A receiver is much more complex and could well be
where the problem lies.
