I went thru 2 of these sets with the blue halo issue and the (((((((()))))))) problem on the screen. Samsung tech support was terrible and denied this was a big problem with these sets. I decided to get the Sony KDS-60A3000. The set looks better and the only problem is a slight geometry issue which was also on the Samsung and is inherent to RPTV's. Get the Sony while you can and avoid this Samsung as it has many problems.
