Title: Problems with Lamp and Samsung's service.
Product review: I bought this TV from Circuit City on 9/03/2005. I paid for their extended service plan. I now find out that these TV's have a problem with the lamp going out often. My TV went out on 1/28/2006. Not even 5 months old. Called Circuit City and they informed me that for the $499 I paid for extended service plan they would replace the lamp 1 time only!. I could buy the lamp myself for $199. I called Samsung and their warranty will cover lamp for first year. Here it is now 1/19/2006 and my TV is still not back from TV shop. The lamp has been replaced,the ballast and now we are waiting on the lamp engine assembly. Samsung basically says sorry about your luck. Dont deal with Samsung or this TV. Buyer beware.
