    Hi, I'm new to this so apologies if this thread is not in the right place!

    I bought a 40" Samsung flat screen just last week and it's acting up a little.
    You could be watching it for hours and it will be fine but then for some reason the screen will go completely black for 1 or 2 seconds and then back to the channel again. Sometimes as well just before the screen goes black, the colour seems to go from it (reminds me of the old telly I had when the colour tube went)
    I can't figure it out....
    Can anyone shed any light please?

    Thanks,

    Are you using Sky (or NTL) for your TV? If so, it could be a loose connection between decoder and TV... make sure the SCART lead is firmly connected at both ends!
    Does it happen only when watching TV or can it happen while watching a DVD / blu-ray ? Try narrowing it down...

    Hi Guys,
    I went back to the store today where I bought the TV...
    They are going to replace it as it's a genuine fault with the TV itself (so they say). Hopefully we won't have the same problem with the next one:rolleyes:
    Just to answer some of the questions....it doesn't happen with the DVD player, it plays just fine with no interuption.

    I could scream! Bought a new Electrolux washing maching the same day and there's a problem with that too. It keeps filling with water even when its not plugged in! Unbelievable!

    Empited it this morning (after opening the door and flooding the utility room) and came back this evening to the house only to find it full again!

    So disappointed!
