Samsung TV

Posted by Freckles on October 2, 2009, 11:58 am

My brother just bought a Samsung HDTV which is supposed to have a red
"frame" around the screen which lights up. His does not light up and he
thinks there is something wrong with his set. I say there must be a way to
turn the light for that frame on or off.

Does anyone have a Samsung with this feature, and if so can you turn that
frame on and off, and if so, how?

Thanks,

Freckles

Assuming that you are referring to the ToC feature... Ours has never
"lit up." It seems to be just a reddish tint in the frame which becomes
noticeable under some lighting conditions. I've never seen more than a
dull red tint. (I see that Samsung calls it amber.)

Thanks,

My brother reread the info. and you are correct, the frame does not light
up.

I don't mean to be a jerk, this is a serious question. Could you do me
a favor and ask your brother why in the hell he would WANT his TV
frame to light up? This has baffled me since the first time I saw a
commercial for one...

Yea! It has puzzled me too. I don't think he wants the frame to light up,
but thought there may be something wrong with his set since it did not.

He has since found out, as another poster has stated, that the frame is not
supposed to light up.

Only under certain ambient light conditions it will apparently show a dim
red halo around the picture area. Why? I don't have any idea, but I'm sure
Sansung had a reason for putting it there.
