      I've read that with LCD TVs, major failures usually occur either immediately or not at all (which is why extended warranties are a waste of money).  Looks like you got the crappier of the two possibilities.

        I think that makes sense based in my experience.

        Think it, be it.

            mine is/was a LED though…not sure if they act the same but i have a 2 year warranty on it so all should be ok!
            i'm thinking about buying something better/bigger now though...50" are good, but (as you'mericans say) "the bigger the better" right 😛

              I would have gone with a Sharp Aquos. They are the only manufacturer that doesn't outsource it's parts are manufactured and assembled in the state of the art, highly efficient Kameyama Plant. I have owned many LCD and now LED's from SHARP and they have never let me down.

                It's still an LCD screen- LED is the type of backlight it uses.  Older LCDs used fluorescent lights, but LEDs are thinner and are now standard.

                Just get a plasma TV from Panasonic and never have to worry about all those complicated acronyms. 😉

                    I totally agree with D666's statement. I was always a samsung guy, and my college buddy that's the General Manager talked me into a less expensive Sharp that is an incredible TV. it's 70 inches of pure bliss. If you're gonna be a bear, be a grizzly.

                          Gav, is there anything you can take for your migraine? Mrs. Wolf takes Imitrex with a lot of success.

                            I took some Aleve as my migraines are more than likely autoimmune related (long story, awaiting diagnosis). The pain has gone but left behind a weird vision thing in my left eye.

                              Ugh.  That's annoying. Glad you're able to treat the pain though. Migraines suck.

                                By mistake, I allowed tapatalk to "upgrade" today.  Holy crap, the new version is awful.  I need to do some research and see if I can go back to the older, non-shitty version.

                                    Uninstall the craptacular new version, then go here to download the classic version.  You'll have to change your default Android settings to allow non-Play Store programs to install, but the whole process only took about 5 minutes for me.  Totally worth it.

                                        I sold my old Race Face Mountainbike Jacket at ebay…now the buyer claims, it's a women's jacket, because the zipper is on the left. 😉
                                        I sent him good arguments that prove him wrong, but from my experience with ebay and paypal I can already see how this is going to end. The seller is always wrong, no matter ho stupid the arguments are.
