Yeah I know what your saying I'm just saying that's what I think he means

My original TV was warped along its height as shown in this photo...
Would a new screen and bezel have pulled the back straight and back into place as its perfectly flat now?
Surely the bezel and screen would have just molded itself to fit the back panel.
Its still got my sticker on the back (showing version and serial number), but i guess that could have been removed and replaced possibly.

I spoke to JL yesterday who have advised they don't really want to replace it again as any replacement will likely be the same... but surely this isn't right - it's the bezel not actually fitting the screen properly! Poor QC!
They have offered for me to choose an alternative but JL don't sell any that I would be interested in (the only one's would be a PS64D8000 or Sony HX923, both of which they don't stock)... should I just go back to them and request my 4th replacement?? :-(
I'm pretty certain that ALL UE55D8000's suffer from bleeding, clouding and flashlighting, so sceptical myself that a another replacement will resolve these issues, but as it stands my current tv surely cannot be put together correctly if I can see the led strips through the edge of the bezel!
Get a refund like me & get a Sony 55 923.

Yer I know but they don't seem to have as many as Samsungs D7000/8000

Yer it's a sad state off affairs at the minute.

Oh, it;s the start of Cloverfield btw!
You need to set your tv up: hd should not look that.
Has the D series caused the most controversy out of all of the Samsung series?
daveb975 said:I think so, and it stands to reason. The D Series is the nicest looking TV ever made in my opinion and I am sure a lot of others will agree. This will have brought a lot of buyers over from Sony and Panasonic, people who may previously have viewed Samsung as a budget brand but have now been convinced by the style, features (and high price!) of these new sets.
Paying premium prices will mean that they expect a premium product, which this undoubtedly can be, but the QC is terrible. I bought a B7000 back in 2009 and went through 3 sets before finding a decent one.
I have now got a D7000 and generally the picture is great, but I do have some of the issues mentioned on this thread. I am not going to keep returning it because all of the issues that I have are sufficiently minor that I am worried I would end up with a worse set overall. I am not advocating this as the correct approach, because really we should all return them until we get perfect ones, but I don't have the time or the inclination to keep taking a 55" set down from the wall!
My problem is that I want to keep this model of TV as I cannot accommodate a hulking great Panasonic plasma and they have their own issues anyway.
It is just a shame that the same QC issues remain as Samsung enter their fourth year of LED/LCD production.

Not really as the US version has technology called micro dimming plus that helps gets rid of clouding & flash lighting etc. The US model is much better than ours. Can't see why Samsung didn't put the same tech in all the TV's. Mine has shocking clouding, flash lighting, banding, DSE & etc etc
superglenn said:Well the Norwegian models also have micro dimming and we also have ALOT of clouding, bleeding and banding problems!
Iain Craig said:Samsung were pretty straight forward with me getting repairs etc, they then told me I wouldnt be getting a tv replacement due to it being the same on all their models of this tv, I then contacted simply electricals and finally after pushing and pushing got a replacement due to samsung giving in to my terrorist demands, It just seems that no matter how many replacements I get its going to be the same, the people on here who claim to have no problem probably just dont see the problem
