I bought this TV brand new from Circuit City back in '05 for a ridiculous $900. It's crazy how much prices have come down on TV's today compared to only 5 years ago. Cost aside, I must be one of the lucky ones because after reading all the 1 star reviews about the tv turning off, bad geometry and all that...I haven't had one of those problems yet! Of course now that I'm putting up this review my tv probably wont go on the next time I decide to watch TV in my bedroom. The unit itself is definitely heavy. Me trying to get it up to my bedroom by myself was quite the task but I eventually got it up there. Only bad thing is if I want to sell it now I wont get much for it just because of what you can get these days for your money.
3 and 1/2 years and no problems or is it 4 and 1/2 years December 3, 2009

I have treated this TV with kid glove. Not like you see on TV new and in person when the owners of new TVs drag the TV then drop it off the curb and drive it home upside down etc. I have a quality surge protector on it that also has a filter. Not your $15 power strip. I kill anyone that turns it off then on in seconds as that is bad for any TV. I do not let people get near it with anything magnetic even dust busters etc.
I think all new tech have problems but my Slim-tube CRT has been as good as day one even now.
By the Way you all know that LCD and Plasma are dead tech as Feds and Seds and all are going to make them obsolete and the Feds that I think they renamed FET is a CRT tv with OUT the Tube as it uses thousands of guns behind each pixel and is cheap item to make but better in image quality.
 Would not recommend June 18, 2009

I would not recommend the Samsung TX-R3079WH. I bought it 3.5 years ago and it was great. That is until 6 months ago when it began having all the problems the other reviews describe. (1) Power button went out, paid to get that repaired. (2) Picture became a little too wide for the screen, but viewable. (3) Picture is now completely distorted, like looking at an hour glass or fun house mirror and randomly turns itself off and on every few minutes. Authorized repairman says he cannot fix it. Samsung advises for me to send them paperwork from the repairman stating it cannot be fixed and they "will see what they may do." Hopefully they will do something as I expect a (quality) tv to last more than 3.5 years. We will see.

I got this TV and it worked great for just over a year and then died. The warranty was for a year and they were not at all helpful to get it fixed. My Dad is an electrical engineer so he got the specs and opened the TV up and found it had a cracked circuit board inside that had happened from the factory. I am not sure if this was the actual problem or not but the TV is dead and after taking it to one TV repair shop, they told me it was going to cost more for them to trouble shoot and fix the problem than the TV is worth... I am not buying another Samsung, the customer service sucks.
Not so good Television November 2, 2008

Bought the TX-R3079WH about 3 years ago, and recently one side of the screen is so blurry you can't read text and the images are blurred in that area noticeably. This thing gets maybe 3 hours a day use. I would not buy this television, especially since Samsung does not appear anxious to stand behind their product.
