mtelsey1,
There are quite a few posts dealing with problems, questions, issues and support for every product on the market today. While this forum constitutes a collection of issues, there are also thousands and thousands of happy 6-Series Samsung owners that are enjoying their televisions. The very existance of these forums were meant to address these issues and provide support.
I can't guarantee that you'll not experience any issue - nobody could do that. There are always exceptions.
I appreciate your consideration as a possible first-time product owner, and hope that we can earn your business. Any issue, should it be an unfortunate situation, we can address in the first year.
Please let me know if I can assist further.

I researched and really love all the features of the LN52A650.. I know there are 2 newer versions of this tv, but I have found an awesome price for this one. I have read all the problems about the on off issue, and the new firmware to address this problem. My problem is reading how so many claim that even after installing the new firmware, they still experience this issue. How practical is this? Are there an extreme number of sets that aren't being fixed w/ the upgrade? Or is it more believable that it was simple user errors in installing the firmware?
I have never owned a samsung, and am very skeptical w/ changing my brand preference. I also wanted plasma, but the burn-in problem is way more than I want to deal w/. I liked the 120 hz of this model, and the 4 hdmi's along w/ the color. I just want to know for sure if this tv specifically has issues that are too complicated, or for a much larger number the issue is being resolved.. Unfortunately, far more people like to complain than praise in writing... Please help me Mr. Samsung!!!!
