Yes indeed,the remote control button pad is a plastic sheet with conductive paint "blister's" for each function.The conductive paint can break up and cause spurious commands to be sent to the tv.The power down button being the most used of course!
Try taking the batteries out while viewing and see if the set remains on?
Otherwise,you may have an intermittent problem within the set that is triggering the sophisticated integral"powerfail" system employed in these tv's.
There is a service mode whereby you can check the powerfail memory to see if a particular component or section of the set is failing?

Super telly,well worth sorting.
