Samsung LN40A550 Problem

[its eL]

Hi,
I just bought this TV a few days ago and I have a problem. When I adjust the color/picture settings, they reset automatically after about 15-20 minutes.

I can be in the middle of playing a game and then *BAM* reset back to default. Has anyone heard of this problem? I will take it back if I have to in exchange for a new one but I'd like to know if anyone has heard of this before.

I checked Samsung's website for a firmware update but they didn't have anything listed for this model.

No....it's not a 'problem' with the TV...so don't take it back to the store just yet~!

There is a setting in the menu system that causes this to happen. I don't remember where exactly this setting is in the menus, but it's a 'store demo' mode that's doing the re-setting of the parameters. Just find it, and turn it off, or turn it to home use (again, don't remember exactly).

This will take care of your issue.

I contacted Samsung and they told me how to fix it. ^ You were right, I just had to change the demo settings again.

I previously had it on "home use" or whatever but it still did that.

All fixed now.
