Beware of Samsung products

My Samdung LNS4041D broke today with the screen failed to power up, this isn't the first time I had bad experience with Samsung. The DVD rom on my xbox360 scratches my disc, the Samsong 24" CRT Monitor I had give me white flickers, and now that 40" LNS4041D LCD tv failed to power on with constant clicking sound.

They are all made by Samsung. I know that they outsource manufacturing to plants in China but that is no excuse for lack of quality control.

Therefor I am boycotting Samsung. And may Apple import ban all
Samsung's infringing products.

Edit: Turns out Samdung installed 10 Volt capacitors on a 12 Volt board, what it will eventually happen is the capacitor will age faster than normal, normally a tv set that should last for 9+ years will fail in just 2-3 years. There are HUGE number of Samdung TV customers with this related issue all over the web. From older tv set LNS4041 to newer onesLN-T4671F , they all experience this clicking sound of fail.

We are dealing with a dishonest merchant who intentionally put a under qualify part inside numerous models of expensive TV set. I call for boycotting Samdung for life.

And do not give in to have a Samdung certify tech at your expense, all they do is REPLACE THE FAILED 10 Volt cap WITH A SAME 10Volt cap. it will just fail again.

Llano APU got 135 design wins.

I've been following AMD for quite a while, especially their Fusion processors.
