Samsung LCD LE32R74BDX TV Problem

Hi all,

I am having some problems with my Samsung LCD 32" TV, model is LE32R74BDX.

I bought the model back in March this year, and it has been fine up until recently. Last night, my SKY + box finally went, they are coming out at the weekend to repair it. But everything was fine with the TV because I switched it onto the Freeview section and then put it into standy.

Tonight, when trying to put the TV on for the first time since last night, I found that the picture wouldn't come up. The remote control wasn't operating it, and I had to use the side buttons on the TV. I got it to the channel I use with the XBOX 360, and it came up for a while, but then a few seconds later the picture started to fade away, into black, and froze.

I turned the TV off, put it back on and tried again, but everytime I tried to operate one of the TV channels or XBOX 360 channel again, the picture would freeze, and the TV would start fading. The image looked a bit like it was being burning in. The TV would not change channel or do ANYTHING once the burning starts, and it just fades. I ended up turning it off and having to bring my old CRT TV in for the time being.

I am just wondering if anyone else has had this problem yet, and what they did, if anything, to sort it.

Could be a spike in the sky box when it went out similar thing happend to me, but try proving it , its impossible .Telly was ok until the sky box packed in ,it caused svhs to be switched on all the time and the picture to jump but as I said its difficult to prove it was the sky box ,but in my case I know it was because the TV was perfect until this happend hope you have better luck.
Although you should claim it under your warranty but dont mention the sky box.

Yeah, I had strongly considered this, because while watching TV the night it happened, my SKY BOX completely screwed up, and wouldn't come out of standby mode. I have called Samsung and they are sending an engineer over... they tried to get us to reset the TV, but nothing happened, so I will have to wait and see.

I am only worried now because once I get the SKY BOX sorted tomorrow, it could happen again.
