Don't know how relevant this is, but heard this from a friend and my friend's brother told him. Apparently he's really into the electronics field, and knew the ins and outs of electronics. Has anybody had any problems in this regard cause I respect Samsung for their quality, but after hearing this, not quite too sure now where to go from here.
