Looking for a good DLP HDTV Technician.

RoadWarrior · Postby **RoadWarrior** » September 16th, 2010, 4:24 pm

Didn't know where else to post this request, but this is the most widely read forum, here goes. As the title says, I need to contact a good DLP HDTV technician.

I have a Samsung 56" DLP HDTV that has developed white dots (stuck mirrors) all over the screen. I have researched the problem online & have concluded that the DMD chip or as Trini's say, the "mirror" needs to be replaced. This is a 30 minute job, the local agent is charging way too much for this job ($700) & they don't have the DMD chip in stock either.
Can anyone recommend a good, experienced DLP HDTV technician? Preferably from San Fernando / South.
Thanks.

Also try Circuit Zone
they have a technician that repaired a HDTV for me, the TV was not bought there.

RoadWarrior, in this day and age, and for someone with your audio/videophile position, I'd forget DLP and look at a plasma. IMO its a better investment than trying to repair a DLP which can't compare in picture quality to plasma. With the DLP it might be the mirrors this time, the colour wheel next time and the bulb a few times in between. Go plasma! Budget permitting of course.

Rory, thanks.

Duane, thanks for your response. This Ultra Slim 1080P DLP HDTV is only 2.5 years old & I guess you have not seen the high quality picture of this model. It will compare to any LCD or Plasma.
A $15,000 TV should have quite a few years of servicable life left. It seems as though Samsung had some defective DMD chips used in their TV's, if I was in the USA I would probably get it repaired at no cost to me.
I hope when I get it fixed, no other problems crop up...knock on wood.

Any other recommendations for DLP HDTV technicians?
Thanks.

I do believe i have the same model samsung as u do an had the same problem a couple years ago. I carried it by the agents for samsung, a factory in chagaunas. I forget the name of the place now but they are the local agents. Bought my tv at circuit zone as well.

Took less than a week before i got it back, working great since.

What is the model of your TV?
Is it HLT5687SX/XAA?
I can get the chip and fix the problem.

all my samsung tvs and monitors broke

KURMAman · Postby **KURMAman** » September 18th, 2010, 7:10 pm

it simple ppl.. SamSung tv's have authorized dealers in trinidad for warranty, service and repairs, so any problems, these dealers are able to provide good customer service

....while Sony and other brands dont...they have "factory warranty" which many local dealers use to their advantage, saying "well we cyah fix it..u hadda call de company."
