Well, last December we bought two Samsung slimfit 27" TV's. One for
us, one for my dad. His died in the second week of February, ours went
last night.. His was under warrantee but still took almost 6 weeks to
be fixed, I am not sure if we had the extended warrantee on ours.
Either way, steer clear of Samsung **** if at all possible, just a
warning...

More idiocy. I've had a Samsung 214T monitor for my Windoze Desktop for
at least three years, and it has never hiccuped.

Pssst, there's a big difference between a computer monitor and a HD
television.

Like what? I watch TV on my computer and occasionally hook up my laptop to
the TV. I suspect the resolution of a computer one though is much better
but both work to watch a video. And one I have is now over 6 years old, 19"
TFT Samsung and still works great.

I've been using a Samsung 955DF for about 5 years and it's been a good
monitor. Don't know the tech details, but I've heard there's a big
difference between a monitor and TV, especially the resolution.
But after justwait's experience there's no way in hell I'd consider a
Samsung slimfit 27" TV.
I've got a Sharp 27" that's been solid for 10 years.
Another same model I bought went kaput after 8 years.
I don't take it personally because he hammered Samsung and I'm using a
Samsung monitor. I don't own Samsung stocks and I ain't the CEO.
When you get burned, you shy away from that manufacturer.
I won't touch Sony. Burned twice.
Best to do some research first, especially on new models.
That's why I drive old cars. Their bonafides are established.
