Nice. That Philips that is purple at the beginning, probably has lost its circuitry that resets the picture tube at first turn on. Most TVs are supposed to make a loud click at first turn on, and the screen is supposed to get all staticy for a quick second. That is supposed to wipe away all the magnetic field that the picture tube creates on it's own. It's just got some old parts in it, that's all. A sign of an aging tv.

The Samsungs are nice, but be mindful if the set starts clicking, and taking multiple tries to turn on. Sometimes, the screen will show white and purple dots on the screen as well, that go away on their own after it warms up. Some capacitors are going bad on the power supply, and they need to be upgraded. Quite common!

Interesting read Guam, you really seem to know your stuff. You are right about the "click", it's gone.
Honestly, I just hope the Philips survives until the end of the year and that my Christmas bonus covers the expense for a new one.

I guess were having someone look at it, I never thought this thing would ever get fixed. Maybe it'll get some love after it's fixed.

I just moved into my friend's new house and dude's got a 55" LED Samsung. It's beautiful.

I'm looking for one for my room. Probably 37-42", 1080p, maybe LED if I can find a good deal.
