Re: never trust samsung
And this is why my 2006 40 incher LE40M61B is here to stay.
CCFL, outlived about a good ton of LED models, has enough connectivity to make a stellar multi-platform gaming station (HDMI, 2x SCART, 2x Composite, Component, VGA, RF, S-Video, and optional separate outputs for each.) and doesn't require any internet connectivity.
Yes, it's a pretty hungry set (275W!) but at least it's still got some pretty livid colors, and playing older systems (like PS2/retro PCs like Pentium III 650MHz or Pentium II 400/PS3 as well/Wii) looks brilliant on it. And the speakers are about on par with a 2.1 Logitech speaker system I have, which is pretty surprising.
Try and block this if you can, Samsung!Main rig:
Gigabyte B75M-D3H
Core i5-3470 3.60GHz
Gigabyte Geforce GTX650 1GB GDDR5
16GB DDR3-1600

FSP Bluestorm II 500W (recapped)
120GB ADATA + 2x Seagate Barracuda ES.2 ST31000340NS 1TB

Re: never trust samsung
The TV would face the business end of my 12 gauge before I'd go through the effort of having to prove to samsung that the TV is legitimately mine.<--- Badcaps.net Founder

Re: never trust samsung
well the fuckers used the phraselimit looting and "third party purchases," and ensuring that the TVs can only be used by "rightful owners with a valid proof of purchase."
are they going to kill tv's that are sold second hand??

Re: never trust samsung
Simple
1. Don't connect your TV to the internet
2. Get a roku and do what you want
I have a 2008 Samsung 46" CCFL and it's still beautifully working. Can't imagine downgrading to anything else. If i was, it wouldn't be samsung (except their phones)Cap Datasheet Depot: http://www.paullinebarger.net/DS/

Re: never trust samsung
This sounds worse than the laptop-anti-theft debacles!
Might as well give us a key fob for our TVs now, just like automobiles!ASRock B550 PG Velocita
