I bought a Samsung TV model UA50AU8000WXXY at JB Hi-fi on 25 July 2021 for my son. The TV was used very little for about a year and everything I have to say worked very well. Since January 2023 the TV has not been used by unplugging the power plug and only today 4 September 2023 I tried to turn it on with both the remote and the standby button and it started flashing a blue light for about 1 second (then black screen) at the same time as flashing the red standby light. I tried a couple of times to turn it off and on again but the same thing always happened. I really feel very sorry and annoyed about what happened because I have almost always preferred to buy Samsung products (3 televisions older than this one that currently work plus 2 mobile phones, headphones and 2 tablets, Samsung watch etc.) and I have never had any kind of problem. I consider myself a careful and conscientious person and have always been very professional when using any technological and electronic product using multiple THOR plugs for any device. When a device is not in use I regularly unplug it from the socket. Having said that I feel deeply saddened to be forced to buy a new product to replace a TV that has been used very little and immediately broke. I am not at all sure that I will buy another Samsung product and I would not recommend this TV in particular.
