Samsung HL-S4666W 46-Inch DLP HDTV
Already needs a new motherboard
So my TV makes this popping noise with the sound and is especially aparent when the tv is in the srs surround sound mode.  I was so amped for this tv but so far its been a huge bust.  Maybe I one of the few, but so far samsung has had very mediocore service, from customer service to the repair technician.  They arent going to let me send it back until the repair guy trys 3 times to fix it. It already needs a new mother board.  I didnt even know tvs have monther boards.  Also the S-video cable was very hard to install the prongs for my dvd player.  Also for people that have the tv now.  Do not use \\"Dynamic Mode\\" it comes this way and the picture looks great.  But your contrast is set at 100 and will burn out your bulb real quick FYI. Move to around 85 to save the life of your bulb.  So far some HD channels look great some mediocore.  It might be my cable box. I dont know the espn baseball games look good and the FOX games look like garbage.  As for videogames it works great on my 360 and there really is no lag problems.  I have to miss time from work now and now I regret not buying a flat pannel.    Update: Its been almost 18 days now since I called Samsung and their technician keeps reschdueling with me.  This has been a horrible experience.  I also notice alot of motion blurr on hdtv channels when the camera moves really fast, like tracking a homerun leave the park.  So mad I bought this thing.    Update. August 08 I need another motherboard.  Samsung is hastling over whether or not they will replace my tv.  My audio out does not work now.  Way to go samsung.  The part is on back order.  So I take it this happens all the time.  Terrible, terrible purchase.  Do you know how much of a pain this is to take time off of work to meet a repair guy 3 times in a month?  Samsung I need a new tv. NOW    Update: August 14th Samsung has been a nightmare to deal with.  After calling on hours on end once a day for the past month they finally are replacing my tv.  Good luck if anything ever goes wrong with your tv.  This has been THE worst experience as far as purchasing a big ticket item.    An Insider Tip if you have to deal with their customer service dept.  Immediately Ask for an ERC, they over see the customer service reps and have authority to solve your issues.    If I could give this tv 1 star I would.  For some reason I cant change it.  Anyways.  I honestly think Samsung has posted the majority of these reviews so be careful.
