like everyone else it seems that has commented on this tv, i have the same problem with a tv that after only two years has suddenly started presenting a negative image. i owned an old-fashioned sony trinitron for 30 years that never gave me any trouble. planned obsolescence, i guess. samsung seems to insist that this issue doesn\’t exist. a simple google of tv negative image will tell you that they\’re wrong. paying $800 for a tv that lasts two years is not my idea of a good deal. buyer beware!

Another poor soul with an expensive photo negative TV set. Got the set in the spring of 2009… now it’s the fall of 2010… that magic 18 month mark mentioned so many times above… and we’re in photo-negative land. Used to snap back with a gentle tap on the top. This last time no such luck… but after about 10 minutes it corrected itself. Samsung used to be a favorite brand… not happy here.

I too am now experiencing the photo/negative issue. My model is just shy of 2 years old. I don’t understand why it is an intermittent problem but based on the reading, looks like it will become permanent. We don’t even watch a lot of TV and have taken good care of it. I would think Samsung should own up to the defect or lose a lot of customers.

Bought the TV from Amazon in 2008. Loved it until today. 09/27/2010, the day the phillies clinched the TV developed the white background photo negative look that many complain of. Sad that a TV only lasts two years.
