Example? Picked up that Amazon Prime day deal on a 50 inch for 312USD to my door.
Things to try:
1. Resets.
2. Factory reset (ask Samsung how if not documented.)
3. Install the latest product firmware. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
My tv is approximately 5 years old and has never had any issues.
It plays through a Sonos playbar.
Last night the sound started to become muffled.
I proved the playbar is ok by playing music though it.
I tried the tv's speakers and the sound was again muffled.
Could this be the end of the tv or is it worth attempting to have it repaired?
Thanks in advance
