Looking to pick up the "mini" samsung but want to upgrade to more RAM. Can anyone tell me if there are 2 slots for a 1GB each or do i need to pick up one 2GB card? I thought i saw somewhere someone was saying they upgraded to 4GB which led me to believe it could take up to 2-2GB cards...but wasnt sure. Anybody know anything?

So is this "Blue-blotch" problem on every NC10?Does anyone NOT have this problem?

I would be so curious and interested to know what your other computers are that do not 'compare' with the Samsung - are they netbooks or ultraportables? If so, what exactly makes the Samsung better? Could you describe the screen, please, in detail? Is it bright, deep color saturation, are the fonts clear and legible and crisp, how is it in the sunlight, that sort of thing. So many reviews say 'great screen', but go into no detail, and I really want to know before I take this plunge. Much appreciate.

I don't have the problem. I'm not sure what the percentage is. If you can find another netbook that meets your needs, that's an option. I'm very happy with my choice.

I bought mine in November and I don't have any problem with screen blotches. No issues here...

I love my NC10. Good thing I never read about this problem, as it may have kept me away from this jewel. So far, I've had it running for many 10-hour continous runs and my screen is not only blotch free, but also free of burnt or white pixel problems. Knock on wood I guess. Now back to surfing on this wireless, bluetooth wonder! ;-)

Hey Jwag, did you get the TN-T2653H by any chance? I just got it a couple days ago, I also noticed the high pitched noise, and it seemed to be related to how bright the screen was (ie. when programs showed bright shots and when the backlight setting was set to 10). Did Samsung tell you anything relevant?

I, too, am now experiencing this same problem, and I purchased my Samsung through a vendor other than Amazon. I guess I'm going to have to return my set, although I absolutely love everything else about it. I haven't talked to the Samsung technicians, but I'll be calling them later today.

I have a Sony XBR5 no problems at all, perfect set. I watch a lot of sports the set is fantastic. Samsung is a great set also, but at the store I did see some issues with it. I have heard and read about the clouding problem in the past, but not on the new sets, it has been solved to my knowledge. XBR4/5 same great set. Sony and Samsung went on a joint venture with their panels, this means that both company's have the same panels (8th gen. panels). The only difference is the engine, I think in my opinion the Sony has more detail than the Samsung. At the same time we are nit picking, which ever one you like go with it and don't look back. Be happy with your choice, because there will always be a better set. FYI if you go with Samsung be sure it has the updated firmware, on the settings menu it should say "Oct2007". If it doesn't you can not update it, you will have to find another set that does. Check with Samsung for the current firmware update. Samsung "81 series" is the only set that I know of that you can update the firmware via the internet when available, this is a plus. Most company's don't guarantee blown pixals, some will say you need to have certain amount of pixals blown before they can exchange for a new one. Check out the extended coverage, make sure they cover blown pixals. Some people have had blown pixal problems, at the store they had a few sets with this problem including Sony and Samsung. I have read that a lot of people had customer service problems with Samsung less with Sony. I never had a problem with Sony's customer service in the past or their products. Pick the best set you like and forget everybody else, it's your set. ****HOPE THIS HELPS, GOOD LUCK****

I find glare a problem as well. As one poster says, "the reflection is not a bother at all", well, that makes me wonder is there is still some reflection. I have a matte screen now and love it - no glare even with direct light. I'd love to upgrade my TV to 1080p but can't seem to find screens that are matte any more. So frustrating when manufactures do stuff like this. They should at least make it an option.

It has not happened to me yet but I am on my second tv from them in one year and about to send it back again. The blacks seems to show white blotches when the screen is black

Not sure of your question, I found reviews of this TV on CNET and TWEEK TV, mentioning these because they have settings for fine tuning the color settings to where they work good. Samsung does not do this very well. For myself once I had the color settings tuned in I liked this TV a lot. Did not like the lack of Samsung support on getting the settings set up, but believe this is something found across the board. I Will say that the football games are awesome when set up correctly. hope this helps, if not clarify with question.

Yes I had that problem with my Samsung TV. I now have a brighter cleaner picture without the white spots.

I am experiencing the same issue as well, but I guess that's the life of this phone's LCD display as its been over 3 years. Time to change.

Just for the record, I have the Samsung A550 40 inch and it has a matt screen and not a shiny screen as mentioned above. I am very satisfied with it, but it could be that the Sony is just as good. Our older TV is a Samsung and that and the good reviews influenced us. So far, we are happy with it, great picture. I have the sound hooked up to my sound system and that is great also.

I have the same problem with my Samsung 19" flat screen. I am on my second one and the oder is not as bad as the first one but it still smells!

Glare is absolutely a NON issue.. screen is all matte and very effective. Having said that I am returning this product for reasons of other defects - ripples on the display starting from the bottom going all the way to the top. Very irritating!

Hey there, I just had this same thing happen to my camera!!! The camera was not dropped or anything and it seemed to just appear out of the blue. One minute I am taking pictures and it looked fine, then I look down and the screen internally is cracked, the outside of the LCD does not have a scatch on it. I am about to send it off to Olympus to get a warrentyl repair, but could use any other instances of this happening as evidence that this is not my fault. Please let me know what you were able to get done. Thanks, Nick

Just got mine today and noticed some dead pixels on the LCD as well. Have yours gone away? Did more show up?

I personally haven't had this issue, but I've read reports of screen issues like that. You might need to send it in for replacement. I hear customer service is easy to work with.

I had the same problem with one I bought around Christmas time. For that one I returned it. However, now my screen quit and I can't get tech help. At all. Nothing. If I had to do it over I'd return it and run.

Oh man... My Samsung 5271 purchased Xmas 2007 has just starting doing this too. I turn it on, and the bottom 3/4 of the screen is distorted and unwatchable. It seems to clear up within a few minutes, and only rarely does it after "warming up". But I'm quite frustrated to have an relatively new, yet out-of-warranty TV that is malfunctioning.At this point I am just going to live with it... since I did not purchase with AmEx to get the extended warranty. But I am worried that the problem will get worse, as some of you have posted.Can anyone who gets this problem fixed, please post on the actual cause and remedy, and the amount paid to fix?Thanks in advance!
