I bought a Samsung LED 55" 7000 series at the end of October 2011 - under warranty for two years. The picture quality of the screen was absolutely superb and did not suffer any backlight problems I have read about, but I recently noticed dead pixels on the screen and reported it to the shop I bought it from who arranged to have it collected/repaired.

The panel was changed and the set returned yesterday evening. However, I'm not impressed - have a look at the attached picture. The screen has a huge amount of backlight bleed and the HD picture somehow doesn't look as sharp as it was. I'm starting to regret having it looked at. Of course, I immediately phoned the repair company to tell them I was not happy, and they have promised another visit this evening. But I just wanted to try and get a bit more knowledge on what might have happened here, and perhaps how you think this should be resolved?

Thanks in advance for any comments.

common when panels are dismantled and put together again, not sure how the insides of the 7000 is, if they can replaced just the panel and not the LED diffuser plate, if they can and they just changed the panel, then it's common for light to bleed horrible after service, since the service techs are useless at putting them together, or rather, it's almost impossible to properly assemble them as tight and perfect as they should be.

    • I agree when are you going to read this (really poor BTW) article?
    • I disagree; they come off very "bitchy" and "whiny". Make a great product and combine that with a great price (free) and people will come over to your side. Or build it and they will come as they say. Constantly trying to get attention by complaining all the time, will turn people off to your product.
    • It use to be a nightmare, with LibreOffice supporting a newer draft ODF standard by default, and Microsoft Office supporting the older non-draft standard. Now that they both support the same version of ODF, they should be interoperable.
    • Brave Browser 1.91.171 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package.

    • Hi. As the title suggests, I can't access the forum on my phone. I'm using Edge on Android and when I try to navigate to the forum I get a "we value your privacy" popup and none of the buttons are clickable. It effectively stonewalls me from reading any forum content.
