I am partial to Samsung higher end TV's. I have one of the last 8500 Plasma TV's that they made in 2012.
60". Something went POP! and it went out. Found the ONLY Mom & Pop repair store about twenty miles
away and they charged me $150.00 to fix it. The 60 year old repair guy said that the higher end TV's are
worth fixing most of the time, and the cheaper ones are throw-aways. I believe that I "lucked-out" and
yes, a bunch of cap's were bad and he found a bunch of loose connections. Who knows! One thing though,
they sell Samsung TV's at their store, so when one of my three 60" TV's go out I will be buying one from him
because he was fair with me! Oh, by the way, the TV originally cost me $2600.00.
