Hi Everyone! I am new to the forums but have been a lurker for a long time. I have had a Samsung HL61A750 for about 2 months and ever since I had it, there was a small amount of bowing at the top of the screen. I had searched the forums but never found anyone that managed the problem so I thought I would share how I was able to fix the bowing. Keep in mind that my bowing wad very minimal (about 1/4 inch) so this may not work for people with more of a bow.
First, remove the two side panel openings to get to the inside of the TV. Stick your arm inside, reach to the top and feel along the side of the TV where the mirror meets the frame. There is a small area about 4 inches from the top where you can wedge a small shim (i used folded paper) between the mirror and the frame. Do this on both sides of the TV. Once I was able to get a small shim stuck in there, my bowing disappeared. :) Hope this helps those who have the bowing problem with this set.
