black screen after 13 months of moderate use... !!!AVOID!!!

Took a chance on this hdtv and regret the decision... people were reporting reliability issues with loss of picture. To be on the safe side, I purchased the set with a three year extended warranty from a local vendor.
You can now add my set to the list of failures with the screen failing to black after 13 months of modest use - just outside the Samsung 1 year warranty.
This will likely be my last Samsung. The picture quality was great while it lasted, but the demonstrated lack of reliability outweighs image quality.

I was concerned about. Swivel feature is very nice and unexpected. It is the perfect size for my bedroom, and I'm glad to hear about the lower power feature for late night watching, as another reviewer mentioned. In general I couldn't be happier with this purchase. If you are thinking it over, my advice is go for it! There are lemons out there no matter what you do or where you shop, as I see has happened to some of the folks here, unfortunately. Will update my post in a couple of months hopefully with more great news! Let's just say, I'm keeping the box! Hey, you just never know). I just received this tv today so I have not had a chance to see or use all of the functions. So as far as a plug and play review, I have nothing bad to say about this set, and I think I am a harsh critic, personally. I did my research before buying and found this 32" set to be the clear winner. Amazon had the best price by far and shipment was faster than expected. This is my 2nd HD tv and this one is superior to the others, especially the sound quality, in my opinion, which is something

Very high Failure Rate for samsung touch of red HD TV

Many people are facing a black screen and TV repair bills as soon as 3 months after purchase due to poorly engineered power on circuits. These are basically the same failures from 70's to current TVs that use super-cheap capacitors to boot up and commonly fail. Worst problem is the Samsung customer service who will supposedly have it replaced "for free" (the 10 cent part) but only by their one authorized vendor at a substantial $$$ service charge. Buyer beware.
