Samsung LCD Bit the Dust ... what should I replace it with?

My 2-year-old 26" Samsung LCD HDTV just quit ... no picture, not even the input labels. Serves me right for buying a Samsung, but live and learn. Which 32" LCD model would you guys recommend ... one that will last more than a couple of years? Thanks.

How much do you want for it, if it's not trouble shipping? I can probably fix it.
In Life, nothing is wasted:/ either that/ or/ it all is.

  I am in Canada, so I doubt that it would be worth it to ship.

Samsung is actually pretty good. Have you had it checked? - Wendell Narrod 06:56:23 12/31/08 (1)
It may be a simple fix.

  The dealer I bought it from is having a look at it. I bought another one anyway, a 32" Samsung; and I will use the 26" as a computer monitor if it is a cheap enough fix. Nothing like the "opportunity" to get a bit bigger screen in my bedroom.

My LG 22" monitor just died 14 days out of warranty...
I *like* the loudness button!

  If it gets power to it, it could be just background lamp. Look at the screen under the light and at the angle if you see images.

    the blue power light flashes and I see nothing but black; they said they'll fix/replace it for $275 plus shipping but I see them for about that or less new... LG L226WT-BF

      It;s probabaly Inverter board. Easy fix at the board level, if you want to #### with it.

Actually the Samsungs are pretty good ! I'm surprised it quite on you after only 2 years of use.
Other LCD choices are Sony,Sharp,Mitsubishi and LG. I got an email from Sharp with a customer appreciation code( I bought a Sharp recently). The only way to see the deals is with the code. The code can be used three different times for purchases. Some of the deals include 3 years of warranty and free shipping for all TVs. If you want to check it out, I'll send you the code by way email. I don't plan on using it , so others can benefit from it if they want to. If anyone else does..just let me know.
I forgot to mention some of the deals include a free Blu ray player as well.

  I was actually thinking about a Sharp. I appreciate the offer, but I am in Canada. If it is good here, then I have my solution. Thanks!
