My Samsung 1080p set started taking a very long time to start up after about two to three years of ownership. I did a Google search of this and found that there was a class action lawsuit against Samsung on this so I contacted them about it. Three days later a technician showed up at my house, replaced some stuff on one of the boards and told me my tv will last forever now. That was about 5 years ago. This old clunker still has a perfect picture.
