Samsung LCD HDTV Problems?

Hey peoples.

I got a Samsung 26" HDTV back in May for my birthday. (It's been great...)

Tonight, I turn it on to check the Wii... Nothing. Screen is absolutely black.


Some online research tells me this means the TV's backlight is dead.
And that Samsung allegedly does this on purpose, to fail ~1 and some years after purchase (right after warranty expires).

Has anyone else on here had this problem? If so, what did you do?


As for me, I've gotta wait til tomorrow for my dad to look for the Wal-Mart receipt from May (so that we could either take it in, or get help through Samsung).
Now I can't watch movies in bed!
