Why? I mean, perhaps in my happy place, they would do it out of the goodness of their hearts to make everyone happy, but I don't see that happening in the real world. Can you imagine the liability they'd be taking on if they supply a firmware update to these out-of-warranty televisions and a few of them get bricked? Whether it's due to a problem in the firmware, or to an impatient customer that cycles power because he thinks the update is taking too long, I would bet that the customer would hold Samsung responsible, and probably be getting on some forums bitching about how the update bricked his tv. If they give him a new tv, then you have to worry about the malicious customers or ones with existing problems with their tvs that would try to brick them on purpose and blame it on the firmware. There is no profit for them in this. I have a 67A750 and I wish they would make a firmware update that would allow me to just plug in new 2010 3D devices into my 2008 TV, but just because I wish it were so, doesn't mean that I believe it will happen.
