I was just looking at 75" TV's on Best Buy website, they've got an LG 75" on sale for $997 and the two local stores have it in stock. It's almost cheaper to buy a new one then to get one fixed. If you can live with 70", they're only $797 and both the 70" and 75" have great reviews.
I didn't buy the Geek Squad extended warranty, so they wanted $99 to come out and see what was wrong, but they wouldn't fix it. To have them fix the TV, you have to join the Geek Squad, which is $199 a year, but then the diagnostic visit is only $49, so I'm already out $250 plus now, the price of the part and to fix it, which is $100 for the repair and $50 to $100 for the board. I don't think I'm buying Samsung again. I've got all LG washer, dryer, refrigerator, stove, microwave and dishwasher from Best Buy and no problems.

I had a Samsung 50 inch that died 2 months out of warranty. I called SS and complained hard. They said that if I had it fixed by a SS repair center, they would comp the part, but I had to pay labor.
It may help-but warranty is only a year. YMMV.
