even despite the fact that it doesn't do localised dimming as the LEDs are edge mounted and not rear mounted.
That's interesting.
It's the darndest thing, but the bloke's just been. He said hello, and proceded to screw all the adjustments to this and that. He then went to a menu that I'd never seen and played with that. Now, here's the funny bit.
It will come as no surprise to you to hear that I was rattling on about settings, Sears, the weather etc., while he twiddled. The truth of the matter slooooooowly dawned on me. I looked at him and thought - I'm too polite to say it...."You haven't understood a word I've said, have you? No abla Englese


He took a photo of the screen and handed me his phone. A nice man told me that he could see the fault and they would ask Samsung for a new screen or a new telly. OMG! will it ever end?
The thing is, when I first reported this fault, it was under Sears' extended warranty and their man said no fault found. Well he would, wouldn't he? He knew a few more days, and they'd be off the hook.

tards!!
Right, do I go back to Sears on a matter of principal, or just let Samsung sort it. No, I haven't got enough life left to listen to Sears' answerphones for the next few months.
I really don't feel I should be forced to have a set that has major work, when literally, the plastic has not been removed from my set's posh facia surface. If only I'd kept the one that had bounced around in the truck.
I'll let you know what happens.
