Summary: TV: (Model #: PN58C500G2FXZA) I bought a 58" plasma after Thanksgiving and within 6 months it had to be fully repaired twice for a magenta banding effect that would start from the top right portion of the screen. About three months after the warranty went out (February '12) the exact problem came back with a vengeance. I spoke with Samsung about the lemon they produced and they described that it was out of warranty...After a pleasant conversation and being on hold on and off for about an hour I negotiated for the set to be repaired. They would cover the parts but not the labor. The labor cost ended up being over $400. After dealing with the repair contractor and the Samsung customer support I wasn't about to pay for their incompetent product. What ended up happening was that I settled on an exchange for the newer model but had to pay the difference in price minus depreciation (approx $200). Better than paying the $400 for the repair or having a total loss. I hope this one lasts. BTW...on the exchange the great contractor sent for the exchange took my blue-ray remote and left the old TV remote instead. I then had to call the exec. customer support 2x plus about another hour on the phone to get a replacement.
