Bought last year's model from Amazon in July 2008 (LN26A450C). Worked great until last week (a little over one year...now out of warranty). Now, the power standby light is on, but the TV will not turn on when the power button is pushed. Also won't turn on when the remote power button is pressed. Picture was great until this happened. Samsung website says component has failed and it must be serviced. Probably more money to fix the problem, than just by a new one. I have Samsung computer monitors and another 40 inch LCD TV. All have been ok. Oh well, live and learn. I may try Sony next time.

I had limited space, so I scanned much of the internet to find the best LCD HD TV for my special need. After several days of surfing many possibilities, I settled on the highly rated SONY Bravada series or the SAMSUNG 460 with "A touch of Color" on the front panel which in this case was a light brushing of dark red across the bottom AND an unusual transparent clear stand (bezel) with some dark red highlights. I chose the SAMSUNG because everything being equal, I was REALLY INTRIGUED by the unusual transparent stand and platform and other design extras SAMSUNG seemed to carefully include in their product. Ordering through AMAZON was extremely easy and quick and I had every reason to believe I was going to again, receive exactly what was in the picture and what I ordered.
I received The 26" SAMSUNG in less than a week, carefully packed and factory sealed. Unpacking it and setting it up was very easy and took less than 20 minutes; the instructions were also very easy and logical. The only problem, I purposely ordered THIS TV instead of the SONY, because of the clear (transparent) stand as illustrated in ALL the product pictures, but they sent one with a black stand instead. I contacted the seller AND Amazon about the mistake and they all told me to contact SAMSUNG which I Immediately did. SAMSUNG took all the information and made a report and was VERY cordial, but to this date (going on two months) nothing more has yet happened. I loved the product and the shipping service but as yet the mistake has NOT been resolved and corrected.

7/11 - I am still waiting for SAMSUNG to contact me and correct The above mistake, Nothing has yet happened!

Great, just what I expected. Beautiful picture and the best part... IT WAS DELIVERED!

I purchased a 26" Samsung LCD HDTV a year and half ago, and it has suddenly started losing it's picture. Every day when I turn it on, I get a blank white screen, even tho I can hear the sound. Then it changes to pink and blue and after about 10 minutes, it finally comes on. So, after only 18 months, I have to have a service call which will cost me 1/3 of the cost of the TV ! I am very disappointed in this. It wasn't this exact model and I can see why they no longer carry it.
