My Experience: We enjoyed this TV for almost 3 years, but unfortunately it has proven unreliable, with identical problems occurring around the same time. A quick google will show this model is a big problem for a lot of people.

Problems: Sound would go out intermittently, we could hit pause, then play, and the sound would come back. Sometimes we'd have to repeat several times. Now though, I believe the power board is going out based on what I have read from other owners posts here and elsewhere. The TV will just start clicking on and off on its own with no picture. It started in the middle of the night a few days ago. This is estimated to be a $300 to $400 repair. This is too soon for a problem like this, I'd like to see a recall since so many others are having the exact same problem.
