I have a samsung LA32s71b tv that 3 months ago had to have the sound board chip replaced by tisco as it failed(only 7 months old).
since its been back my daughter and i notice that the picture goes from very bright to dull in a flicker and then back again.

also when i power the tv up it can take up to 5 minutes for the picture to become bright.the first minute it is very dark.
when watching the credits to a program its flickers almost strobe like.
im on telstra digital in wellington.
does this sound like i have major problems or is this what people mean in regards to blacks and dark colours not being very good on
LCD.

As it is still in its twelve month warranty, then get it repaired again. It is obviously borken again.

year ago I bought a brand new Panasonic 32inch TV which had the internal power supply fuse blow 4 times ( got replaced by the tisco serviceman everytime ) when it did it for the fifth time , I got a mate to help me carry the freakin thing into the store where I bought it - and demanded my money back .
I told the manager I wasn't leaving til I got my money back . I got my money back pretty quickly after mentioning fair trading act and the rights of consumers etc...
even got to keep the original nice TV cabinet ( which cost a $1 when I purchased the TV ) Sealed
