Samsung TX-P2775H 27" DynaFlat HDTV with ATSC Tuner and Neo Side-Sound
great design + cheap components + zero quality control = 1 star
I think I can tie all these reviews together.  CJ in Iowa, I am so sorry to hear that your TX-P2775H was DOA.  I was a little luckier than you, I got 3 weeks of use out of mine before it started turning itself off randomly and finally going completely dead.  I'm betting we had the same problem, the website of the TV repair company I went to mentions defective power regulators as the most likely cause.   Fortunately it was still under warranty, and I'm happy to report that the warranty covers repair plus the pick up and delivery of this 104 lb unit.   So, credit to Samsung there, however, a good warranty is not as good as building a reliable TV in the first place.  I'm a former Samsung buyer because I don't believe for a second that they didn't know about this problem.  It's not a scientific sample, but 2 out of 6 Amazon reviewers have the same failure?  And I wonder about the 5 star reviews here, how are those TVs holding up a year later? <br /> <br />I mentioned zero quality control.  Strangely enough, the TX-P2775H that started going dead after 3 weeks was the 3rd one I brought home from the store.  The first one had a heavily scratched cabinet, apparently some heavy abuse in the factory before being wrapped and sealed for shipment.  A thousand thanks to my local CC retailer, who took it back and gave me another one.   And then, yes, the 2nd one also had a scratched cabinet.  Not as bad as the first, but I was in no mood at that point.  I took the 2nd one back and a thousand thanks again to the retailer, they gave me Samsung #3 with no questions.  #3 is scratched as well, but not too badly.  I think it's the best I'll be able to do, although you might hope that after paying this kind of money your brand new HDTV would be in unscratched, mint condition.  Obviously zero quality control at Samsung, there's no way any of these 3 units should have passed final inspection and been boxed up for a trip across the ocean.   <br /> <br />With that said, I can also confirm that the 5 star reviews here are not wrong.  Other than the lack of quality control and the unreliable components, this is a great TV.  If you go to your local retailer, the Samsung TX-P2775H may be next to a Sony unit with an equally good picture, but look more closely: that Sony unit is just an HD monitor and you have to buy an HD tuner to go along with it.  I mentioned great design, by that I mean not just the great picture but the intuitive, easy to use menu and the ton of inputs in the back.   <br /> <br />There's a sad ending to this review: although it was fixed a month ago, my TX-P2775H is already starting again to go dead randomly, just as it did about 2 weeks before going completely dead.  Oh well, it's a 1 year warranty.....
