Samsung LCD problems?? - Blu-ray Forum

TheShinigami · 02-05-2009, 03:55 AM

I think somewhere is this website I read about some samsungs having problems more than others. Someone said that it all depends on what country they were made. I think that it was in china im not sure. does anybody know???? i thought i read something about checking the serial number or some kind of number in the back of the tv. well please let me know since i just bought a LN52A750 and i would like to see if my tv falls under the ones with the problem.

I actually just bought the ln46a550 yesterday (I contemplated the same thing you did) and it has a beautiful display. Movies (blu-rays) look phenomenal on it. Although I was reading online, that you wan't to be careful which model you choose when buying samsungs. Samsung sometimes gets their tv assembled by different manufacturers that can be determined by...either an A, C, or S model. There is a sticker on the side of a tv (check it out on the display model at the store) and under the label "version" there is a number....the number either begins with an A, C, or S. "S" is what you want. This means that it was made by samsung. The "A" is the worst quality. I was lucky enough to get an "S." Unfortunately, I dont think there is a way to tell without opening the t.v. package I don't have first hand experience with the"a,", but I read online about it and thought I should share the info with you before you buy.
I am very satisfied with my t.v. Good luck with your decision.

I'm about to buy the Sammy LN52A650, I hope what the above poster stated is not true.

As I understand it, the 650 series and above ( including the 750's) all have the "better" screens.
But what it gets down to, IMHO, is whether or not you are happy with what you are seeing.
If the answer is yes, then forget about it, if not-then return it.
There is quite a long thread on AVS if you want to read it (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1097915), but my personal opinion is it's like the old thing of never buy a car made on a Mon. or Fri

Mine ends in "A" and looks very, very nice.

If yours is a 650 it should be a "S", Its not what you model number ends with its what the version number begins with mine is SQ01 or something like that.

I'm extremely satisfied with my 46" samsung 750 btw, picture quality is awesome.

saprano · 02-05-2009, 09:30 PM

Well my version number is SS04 so im good.

Thanks for the info guys, i plan on getting one of the new models this year and i will be looking out for that.

If you're going to go with a Sammy, the 650 and 750 series are amazing tv's. I picked up a 46" 650 in early December and every single time I turn it on to a HD channel or put in a Blu ray I'm amazed

Like others have said, if it looks great to you, then that's all that matters. Good luck with your search!
