why buy this? and pay for service... estarling will pull from flicker etc..

Because the estarling has horrible resolution and pictures looks like crap on it. You don't have to pay for the service if you don't want it, the frame works without it.

You are foolish if you think lamps are covered under the warranty on a projection tv. Sony is not kidding, it is a consumable like tires on a car. That is why they make it a user replaceable part, no service tech is needed to replace a lamp. A better question would be their policy on dead pixels and flat panel lighting (neither of which users or service techs can do much about).A 5 year $420 warranty on a $4200 flat panel might be an OK deal.

these are not worth buying.....send them back....even if you do get them to work the chances are the "connection" is not going to stay connected by piercing the wire. you can buy additional wire for outdoor lights at most any ace hardware store if you really want to go for it. my suggestion is to send them back and buy an 8-light set of solar lights from kmart for about $55.00. we did....and they work great. no muss...no fuss...no wiring...no burying cables...simply place the solar lights in the ground and the work great. check out kmart...we are happy we sent those lights back and just placed the kmart lights in the ground in less than 30 minutes!!!! these are not worth buying.....send them back....even if you do get them to work the chances are the "connection" is not going to stay connected by piercing the wire. you can buy additional wire for outdoor lights at most any ace hardware store if you really want to go for it. my suggestion is to send them back and buy an 8-light set of solar lights from kmart for about $55.00. we did....and they work great. no muss...no fuss...no wiring...no burying cables...simply place the solar lights in the ground and the work great. check out kmart...we are happy we sent those lights back... » Read More these are not worth buying.....send them back....even if you do get them to work the chances are the "connection" is not going to stay connected by piercing the wire. you can buy additional wire for outdoor lights at most any ace hardware store if you really want to go for it. my suggestion is to send them back and buy an 8-light set of solar lights from kmart for about $55.00. we did....and they work great. no muss...no fuss...no wiring...no burying cables...simply place the solar lights in the ground and the work great. check out kmart...we are happy we sent those lights back and just placed the kmart lights in the ground in less than 30 minutes!!!! « Show Less

I am having the same problem. I bought two strands at the same time. One has started to intermittently flicker when in the non-blinking mode and the other is fine. I was wondering about exchanging as well.

it was plug and play for me, no issues at all for the last 6months+. I'd say just keep exchanging the unit, or look for different seller with a different batch; and also make sure that your LCD cable is really securely connected to the panel, and that it hasn't been damaged from disassembling in the first place.

Can't help with the model but it seems these DLP TVs are pretty generic across the Samsung line and they also seem to share the same faults. The bulb housing in mine fused to the ballast cable (melted) and I broke the cable terminal in removing the bulb housing. Thus the $65 ballast had to be replaced because you can't get the $20 cable separately and so I did replace both the bulb/housing and the ballast. These TVs run too hot for Samsung's little muffin fans. I now have an external fan plugged into the cable box blowing into the TV. This extra air flow has cured an intermittent audio issue. Google 'Samsung DLP TV crackling' and you will learn about the audio problem. Maybe it will show up in your TV.

I actually found this on another forum post and it makes me feel much better that at least samsung is recognizing the problem to some extent. I really hope this means they do have a fix for it otherwise why would they post pictures of the problem and say your TV needs service right?http://ars.samsung.com/customer/usa/jsp/faqs/faqs_view.jsp?isARS=Y&SITE;_ID=1&AT;_ID=137885&ARS;_ID=8957980Just waiting to hear from someone that their TV was actually fixed. Thanks again,

Hi,My heath/zenith security light failed right out of the box. The clamp that secured the bulb fixture failed and would not tighten to secure the bulb in place. When I called heath customer service to tell them this, the guy hung up on me. The product failed because it was made of cheap plastic. I returned the item and went to an electrical supply store and bought one that was much better for about the same money. It has been lighting my driveway for over a year through hurricanes, ice storms and such with no problem. My advice? Pass on the heath/zenith.

No. I have work with it for long hours. Check the settings and make sure it is not set for 60 hertz. Try a higher setting such as 120 hertz. It could be flickering. Otherwise, call for tech support.

Nothing functions if your internet connection or their web servers fail. Look at their outages and the irate user comments on their site in October. People not being able to even turn on their lights.

I'm sorry I can't help you...I warn everyone that asks about this company to RUN...DON'T WALK...to ANY other brand. It's a 50/50 shot that you will get one that works right out of the box. Why K-Mart and low end retailers don't throw them out I don't know.....(must be the cheap, cheap price I guess)....Their customer service is atrocious to non-existent and their TV's are J-U-N-K...! Can't get much plainer than that!!

I did purchase one and it does work. Its been working fine. On the other hand this series of TV's have real issues with the lamps. If you want to avoid future problems and costly replacements. Ditch the TV and get a LED TV, in the long run it will be cheaper. Just my 2 cents.

Hi Judy...i can't explain why it flickers. Mine flickered - or I should say the light screwed into it - in the twilight period before sunrise and sunset. Once it became totally dark or light, the flickering would stop. If your flickering continues during complete light or darkness then something is wrong with the unit if you had no problem with a standard bulb. I switched to an LED bulb with a built in dusk to dawn sensor and have not had any flickering issue.

in theory it should fix the problem of the tv turning off & on. We replaced the bulb, it worked for a few hours or days (can't remember). then we googled for more help & saw something say that a lot of times you have to replace the ballast as well as the lamp. did that & it still doesn't work. We just decided to buy a new tv & be done with it instead of having someone look at it & pay that charge as well. I am sure this doesn't really help, but that's what our experience was.

No it won't. Just buy new bulbs . flicker normally a sign of bad bulb or loose wires. Try that bud
