Samsung LNT3242HX & RS232

Hi All...

Does someone have any experience with a Samsung LNT3242HX LCD TV? We have to replace an existing 32" plasma that lost it's RS232 brains in a lighting storm. Since it is 5 years old, we're considering just changing it out versus the $$$ to repair, with no guarantee of other damage elsewhere.

No offence inteneded but trying to deal with consumer level technical support and asking if they have the RS232 protocol for the unit is, ahem, a challenge.

The TV has an RS232 port, and they have some sort of multi display control software that uses said port, so one would expect...

Any input?

Cheers!

    The following is very useful. There are also some extended codes for other models.

    Cadillac P7(HP-S4273, HP-S5073) products for USA can control the basic functions of TV by transmitting
    the command through Serial Port of PC by linking TV to PC. Service terminal which is attached to TV is
    used to link TV to PC.Because this service terminal is the form of Headphone Jack and consists of Tx,
    Rx, GND, pins related to modem among UART line are not used. when control of TV with linking to PC,
    please use Phone Jack ↔ RS232C cable which is the same form of using service.

    This may help as well, but it is for a Plasma....
