Samsung: touching the "Hidden Menu" invalidates the warranty

Over the last two years we have given information on how to gain access to a hidden menu in Samsung screens. In this menu, you can read (or work out) where the panel used comes from. However we have recently received information from Samsung to tell us that this is prohibited and that doing so invalidates the warranty.

We need to go back a bit in time to understand what’s going on here. Where does this menu come from? How long has it been there? Who knows about it? What is it used for? Listen to this tale from Uncle Vincent.
