anyone experienced a sudden black & white phenomenon on this tv before?yesterday was the second time it happened to me..the first was during initial breaking in of the tv..i was running the break in disc before i go to sleep one night and bout 6hrs later when i wake & check on it, the display turned b&w

the second time, last night, it was in b&w as i switched the tv on..but both time, i switched the tv off & on again it came back to normal..not sure if its something i should be worried bout...but i anyone had similar experience do share..

Never happened before. Btw, what break in disc are you using? I just got mine last month and was wondering if it's neccessary to break in? I use it for Astro (SD), Blu-ray and Xbox. And yes, I game quite a lot. I saw some IR a few days ago and until now it's still there. What should I do? Will the screen scrolling help?

Wah daryl.k,
That B&W problem seems quite bad wor. I don't have that problem and I think my set is slightly newer than yours. Now I am starting to get worried. The only prob I have with this tv is the IR. It's quite bad and noticable. Maybe I have not gamed on many plasmas before but I don't think Pannys have this problem.

Is the IR visible during normal viewing or it only can be seen during standby with dark environment?

Not during normal viewing but when I change inputs or channels, it can be seen when the screen blacks out for a short moment. This also happens during the day, but after some time, there is no more IR.

Does anyone know if this tv can play videos via USB connection?

I wonder how much the Samsung Wireless Dongle costs. Must be quite expensive since the wireless only works with their proprietary USB dongle.

I am on the offshore rig right now and the tv room has a 50" Samsung Plasma tv.  I brought along my TVix and watch some movies last night.  The movie I watch have black bars on top and bottom and halfway thru the movies I can see IR on the plasma already.  Once the whole screen darken in night scenes, the IR is very apparent on the screen with the movie portion of the screen appearing grey while the two black bars areas are darker.  Even the place where the subtitles appear got IR too.

I own a 50" Panasonic plasma 50S10 at home but i have never seen any IR before.  My conclusion is that the Samsung is just too prone to IR.  Just sharing my experience.

Yeah man. Thats my only problem with this tv. At times it's too noticable and i get frustrated with it. But what can i do? The minute I get more $$$ its either Panny or Philips.
