Samsung Series 4 PS42A457P1DXXU

Absolutely useless TV's - Bought the 456 in September 2008 for our bedroom, broke after two weeks needing a new screen. Bought a replacement one (457) for our Lounge on 22/11/08 and broke down needing a new screen after just under nine months. Must be unlucky or what, but I've written my review on the most recent breakdown involving John Lewis on a separate review. Appalling level of service from Samsung, on two TV's which broke down one within two weeks of purchase and one in a little under 9months. Quality is very poor. Have opted for a different make and model as a replacement and will stay clear of Samsung Tv's in the future. Disgraceful service and poor quality Tv's purchased. If you do go for one, pay the extra for the 4 year warranty (took it out on my replacement last year - afterall a tv should last for longer than two weeks - shouldn't it??????), at least my bedroom tv is still fully covered now - as I have no faith in it being reliable in the slightest.

I purchased my 40in plasma samsung series 4 and have a line that goes right around the screen, it looks like the end of the screen finishes and then it starts again I have been told it is the reflection off of the pitchure as the inside of the screen is smooth and shiny. Putting BOOT POLISH has been suggested by the engineer!! is this a fault of the series 4! Also can not record freeview off of the tv ????? unless I buy the expensive freeview recorder!!!!! any ideas!
