I agree. The tubes/invertor is faulty. What people don't realise when they buy an LCD, is that they are lit by unreliable flo tubes. Last less than 5 years. Plasma TV's have a more poor shelf life. Go on knock yourselves out by buying new tech, when it don't work! iphones, blackberryies, LG phones...all modern tech, that WILL fail after the warranty, and be completely useless. Why buy something that is guaranteed to break? Muppet society.
