    I am always amazed at the piss poor quality of service you can get nowadays. The issues never get handled, the receptionist are rude as hell and you get to lose hours of your life to these inconsiderate **. I do not recommend any Samsung Products anymore. They were my favorite, but keep having minor issues that can’t be resolved by their inadequate service centers and phone centers. The whole organization is incompetent and their insane message.

    Did you know we are on the net at Samsung.com/us./me/, who gives a flying crap message that repeats every 4 seconds. I am not exaggerating, every 4 seconds throughout the hour you have to spend waiting on someone, who then asks you the same questions on your product, to then be transferred again and again to repeat the same information, and then to be cut off, not 1 time, but 3 freaking times. I spent the last 2 hours dealing with the inane crap. Will never buy another Samsung component again, and will return any given to me. NO MORE, NEVER AGAIN.

    We have had our Samsung flat screen TV for almost 5 years now. During that time we have had not one problem with it. The picture is always sharp and clear, the sound is excellent and the High Definition is excellent. We have never been disappointed with the performance of this Television. We have not only watched regular TV shows, but cable, Netflix and movies streamed from a computer and a Blu-ray DVD player. Each time the TV performs beautifully. I would highly recommend a Samsung TV to anyone looking for a reliable and high quality TV. You will not be disappointed.

    We purchased a curved ultra high definition Smart TV ten months ago. The clarity of the picture is unparalleled. You feel like you are actually there as a spectator. The colors are true, realistic and really remarkable. The sound is also outstanding compared to past generation two years ago! Highly reliable and the best TV we have ever owned.

    Just mounted the TV and went to turn it on, however, the remote would not work. Troubleshooted everything, batteries, checked it on the camera for red-eye recognition to no avail. Went on chat support and they can only send me a new remote in 5-14 business days. I just spent $1000 on this tv and the remote doesn't work? I'll just take the entire TV back to Costco tomorrow and get a whole new setup. I'm sure it's going to cost Samsung more money for the TV return than to overnight me a new remote.

    Samsung product quality is really poor. I bought 165.1cm (65) UHD 4K Flat Smart TV HU8500 Series 8 TV on Diwali, 2013. A few days back, display stopped working. I called customer care, they said product has only one year warranty, and you have to change the display costing 1.20 Lacs. Other companies give complementary 2 years warranty and extended warranty. For a product costing 4 lacs, pathetic build quality. Further, they are not ready to give concession.

    I bought a 40 inch Samsung LED TV (model UA40D5500, serial no. 20013ZEB600469N) about three years ago, together with a Blu-ray DVD player for about Rs. 60000, because I was impressed with the picture quality. Little did I know what I was getting into. The Blu-ray went bad in a few months. Every time they fixed it, it would go bad again in a couple of months. The repairman himself was embarrassed. Soon the warranty was over and they demanded a repair charge almost equal to the price of a new unit. So I had to throw it. Next, the speakers went bad. The repair guy demanded Rs. 3500. Fresh from my DVD player experience, I decided to replace it with computer speakers (my friend had the same problem with his Samsung TV, and this was his solution). Now, the TV itself has gone bad!

    I complained eight days ago, but it's still lying lifeless, much to the dismay of my younger son. On the fourth day, a repairman came and took Rs. 2000 as advance for some parts (which according to him would finally cost me Rs. 10,000). I gave the money but he never came back again. I called their toll free number and demanded to speak with a manager. Perhaps I was a little irate, so I was promptly given the "interminable hold" treatment. Lesson: Stay away from Samsung, at least as far as their LED TVs are concerned.

    Just to be clear, I did not purchase my 40" Samsung from Amazon but I need to let the world know my experience. My family is not rich. We saved up for a Samsung LCD because of many recommendations. The tv worked fine for over 2 years when all of a sudden it began power cycling, turning on and off forever. After a bit of research I found that Samsung had lost a class action suit for using sub par parts. Thinking I could fix the tv myself I ordered the replacement parts with capacitors and plugged it all in and put the tv back together. This did not work. It turns out that my motherboard had gone bad.

    Thinking Samsung would help me, I wrote to customer service. They told me to call customer service. Well that didn't go as hoped. They could have cared less that I spent over $700 on their product which failed before it's 3rd year. They told me to call parts and service, which I did. They didn't care either. I asked them if I could purchase a motherboard and they told me no. I'll tell you all this, I will NEVER support this company or give them my family's hard earned money again. This company is an overgrown pathetic joke which does not stand behind their product's quality. This FACT makes it impossible to whip out another stack of cash for crap that they don't stand behind. If I were them, I would have done all in my power to make it right. I am currently selling my galaxy tablets and phones before they are worthless too.

    It has been a horrible experience with my Samsung Smart tv. It's not a brand new model but I called Samsung about my tv not having YouTube and they said other models do not as well. Even though the box it comes in has it advertised! They told me some come with it and some don't, it's a 50/50 chance so that is why they can advertise it. If that's not enough my Netflix never works. I thought it was my internet or Netflix.

    What got me to write this review is that every 5 minutes or so my network would disconnect from my tv. Wireless or wired, didn't matter. Samsung said it's because I need an update done. I told them that when I go to update there are no new updates available. They said it's because the new update in fact not available, on the tv yet. So I can't have anything that uses the internet until that update comes out and they have no idea when that will be. BUT I can go to their website via computer (and I bet via PC!) and upload the update to a USB and then plug it into my tv and download it that way.

    I don't have a computer at the moment nor do I have a USB drive. I know that's strange. But there has got to be others out there like me. Or people that think this is absurd! I said, so I paid all this money and now my tv is just a regular tv? And you know what? I had to go out and buy Google Chrome in order to have YouTube and other apps that Samsung doesn't offer. So if you are thinking about buying a smart tv Do NOT buy a Samsung! Or just buy the extras that make it "Smart". Samsung Smart tvs are secretly dumb but you don't know it until you get it home.

    What a joke of a company. This is the 3rd motherboard in my TV set in 3 years. And after only 2 months of no problems, my 3rd motherboard is acting up already. They are easy to replace, but should someone buy a $150 motherboard every year? I bought a 75" Smart TV from Sam's Club and it has been nothing but a problem. The TV set continues to go on and off by itself when turned on and as I can see by reading this site, it is a common problem. Samsung replaced a motherboard while under warranty that last about 10 months.

    I am waiting for another class action suit and I hope the media picks this up and makes it national news. I would NEVER buy ANYTHING with the name Samsung on it and will tell EVERYONE I know of my experience. Samsung will spend millions foolishly on marketing and advertising and see this money go to waste. The word of mouth is the best advertising and for me and many others, Samsung has a terrible reputation now.

    Cost approximately £1000 in 2010, more than I have ever considered paying for an appliance before or since. It was a special purchase. A few months in, the apps, basically for me, my music playlist on YouTube ceased working. No joy. A lot of money for just basic telly. Then the colours have gone weird and the tv, when switched on, spends a lot of time switching on and off until it settles down and presents its own version of a picture. I only ever bought second hand and/or no name type brands before and never had the catalogue of problems with any of them that I have had with this seriously overpriced junk. I would never buy any Samsung product again and I advise my friends to save their money and buy much cheaper and better elsewhere. For the cost of this one, I could have bought four or five.

    My 50-inch Samsung TV broke down twice during its 3 year warranty period. The second breakdown was months before the end of the warranty period. Samsung informed me that they have stopped manufacturing 50 inch LED panels. After weeks of haggling, they said they managed to find one panel. Given their initial statement that they did not have such panels, I was leery and asked for some form of warranty on this panel, which they might have cannibalized from some old TV. I spent weeks making multiple calls to Samsung. At each call, I was promised a callback, but no return call was received.

    When I finally managed to track down the service supervisor, he gave me multiple versions of the coverage Samsung would give on the panel. So I requested an email confirming our conversation, and I managed to pin him down to a date that I could expect his email. He agreed, but the email never came. Two issues arise from my experience. First, when Samsung sells a TV they do not assume any responsibility to continue to provide parts, even at a cost, to customers for a reasonable period of time. Second, the dozens of calls I had to make to elicit a return call from them goes far beyond the now typical run around we get from vendors. Even promises of return calls at a specific date and time mean nothing to Samsung.

    I received a 32 inch smart tv Christmas 2013. The tv stopped working September 2015. The image disappeared and there was only sound. I took it to my local repair service and was charged 20$ to have it looked at. It would be 200$ to repair it. I called Samsung's service department and they told me there was nothing they could do. "Sorry for your inconvenience ma'am," they said. They were on the news last week about the bad service they give their customers and a customer took them to court for their low quality tv's. I also have a 55 inch tv that I'm now expecting to have to replace any day now. I will never buy another Samsung product again.

    I bought a Samsung 55" 4K 3D television in December of 2014. Last week it started acting odd by having plaid black and white lines on the bottom 1/4" of the screen, so I called Samsung to repair the television. Now it gets to the interesting part. Samsung lined up Golden In-Home Service, Inc. to come fix the television. They showed up on 9/14/15 and changed a part in the television which did not fix the problem, so they schedule a second day to come repair the television. On 9/17/15 they show up and change another part and this does not fix the problem, so he tells my fiancee he will need to take the television and proceeds to take the television out the house and instead of closing the door behind him or asking my fiancee to close the door, one of my cats nearly escapes!

    After I find out the news, I call Samsung and tell them I'm unsatisfied with the technician they sent over. They relay the message to the technician and he brought the television back to my home and he proceeds to rant that he hates working on Samsung televisions. I call Best Buy where I bought the television after I found out this news and they tell me just bring the television in and we can replace it. Well I go ride to Best Buy to see what my options will since this model is no longer available and the supervisor tells me, "We can't just replace it, we will have to send someone to repair it and if they can't fix it then we will let you switch televisions, but you'll have to buy a warranty to cover it or you can continue to deal with Samsung." They also apologize for the miscommunication between the sales person not knowing the Best Buy policy.

    I call Samsung to line up for another service to come to my house to fix the television since Golden In-Home Service, failed. I call Sunday to verify that I will be getting a call on Monday from a service company and somehow they still wanted to send Golden In-Home Service to repair a television they could not fix. I'm at the point where I just want Samsung to replace the television for something with the same specs or if I have to use the Geek Squad Protection. I'm not going back with Samsung. A company that sells a great product, but has a poor service/warranty center does not need to have my business. My money can support better companies.

    I wish I had known about Samsung's poor track record before I bought my 55" Smart Tv which really isn't very smart! I bought my tv in March 2012 for over $3000, and initially I was very happy with it, but over the last year and a half it has been turning itself on/off without warning. It will do this time after time until I just give up and go watch tv on my 10 year old small Sharp tv, which I have had no problems with. When I contacted Samsung they told me they weren't repairing this problem any longer and it was out of warranty. They actually didn't seem to care and now I know why: They get the same type of calls constantly!

    I bought a 58" Samsung Smart TV (Model No: UN60ES8000FXZC Version no. HS01) more than two years ago and I have not used it a lot. Recently, it has started turning on and off on its own and shows colored lines or tv programs when it turns on and off again. I bought the tv when I was in Canada and moved to the US after a while. I phoned US Samsung and told them the issue with the TV, and they referred me to Samsung Canada. I talked to someone in Canada and he said I should bring the TV to Canada to check it (because it was bought in Canada). That was the most stupidest response I could have got from a company which should take care of its customers and solve their problems as the best!

    I told the person who was talking to me that I would leave a bad review for Samsung online, but he did not care. It seems Samsung does not care about its customers at all!!! In the past I was recommending Samsung to everyone who I knew, but after this experience I am going to tell everybody not to buy Samsung products at all. COMPANIES LIKE SAMSUNG SHOULD BE PUNISHED BY NOT BUYING THEIR PRODUCTS. Please read the other people's reviews too.

This Smart TV is 16 months old but it has hardly been played for it has been in the living room and is only turned on when we have formal company. My dilemma arises with the lack of customer concern, as well as, acceptance of responsibility on the part of Samsung regarding this defective TV. After I patiently went through the motions of trying several of their suggested options that did NOT work, their Technical Service staff finally recommended that I contact Home Service Network for repairs.

    That was not an issue. The issue is that "I" am to be held responsible for the cost of repair to a Television, which obviously is defective as documented via the internet complaints and multiple other consumers. Online research uncovered that many others are having or have had similar issues with their Samsung TV's cutting On and Off by themselves!! Based on this FACT Samsung should do what is right and accept responsibility. As we all know there is NO-Way that this expensive piece of merchandise should be cutting itself off and on.

    Samsung should be willing to do the RIGHT thing and cover the cost of repairs to or replace this 50-inch SMART TV that is 16 months old? Additionally, the warranty has nothing to do with this issue for per the internet complaints, this is obviously a defect issue which Samsung has not corrected at the manufacturing level.

    Well today I am beyond frustrated. I just got off the phone after 2 attempts to speak w/ customer service about my 60" TV LNT5265FX/XAA. It was apparently in the recall for faulty capacitors. Unfortunately for me, I was not aware of this as my TV was working just fine until the clicking started (we referred to it as a death rattle now). It was slowly progressing longer and longer until the TV would turn on. When it reach 20 mins I started looking into what was happening and discovered I was one of many that had the issue. It kept turning on but within a few days it took 45 mins, then we let it go the next day for 5.5 hrs... I pulled the plug, it was time. So, I called customer service hoping I could at least get the part sent to me. Well unfortunately the first person who said they could transfer me to parts disconnected me in the process.

    So, I called right back, got a second person. This time was told that at my expense they could send out a service tech to look at it. I told them that I would just want the part because I don't want to pay for their poor product anymore than I already had and I had a friend who could possibly do the repair for me if I had the right part. He is not a TV guy but works on computer, so in the right ball park at least. THIS TIME, I was told there is nowhere to transfer me and all parts are handled online. He placed me on hold and came back stating that the part (capacitor) is no longer listed as one of their carried items. I again asked to be transferred to another department and said there was nothing he could do.

    So either the other guy hung up on purpose or this guy was an idiot... I can believe either scenario! I never knew to look for a recall 3 years ago for a working TV, but I guess we are supposed to be mind readers. So NEVER again will I buy a Samsung product. I'm glad I have an iPhone and all Apple computers - wish they made TVs too!!

    I have attempted to work with Samsung to resolve my problem with defective TV.

I contacted Best Buy GEEK Squad and they informed me I needed to contact Samsung because it was a known defect in the TV. When I contacted your "Executive Service" June 8, 2015 they first scheduled a local repair company to come out. Then I was later told they would replace the TV because the repair part was not available. I have had several phone conversations and email exchanges, but the new TV still has not been delivered. The latest contact person was: Theresa / Executive Customer Relations Department www.samsung.com (: **.

    She has refused to respond to any follow-up emails. The GEEK Squad came out and deactivated the sensor and a couple of other features until the TV could be replaced. However, I do not believe that is an acceptable solution when I paid $2,999.99 for what I thought would be a TV with all functions operating. Now, after a long time on the phone they have promised to send a service technician out. I am not optimistic they will be able to make it a $3,000 quality TV. I have delayed taking Samsung on via Social Media and other venues, but I will begin that tack now.

    Okay everyone ready for this. I'm pretty upset and figured everyone that buys a tv I suggest to never go with Samsung. For a company that used to be rated so high I can see why they are no longer number 1! I bought my son a 32-inch tv just a year and a half ago and suddenly started turning on and off by itself. This makes the tv useless cause it constantly just turns on and off over and over! Mind you the tv has always been up on a wall mount and was rarely touched. I found on the Internet tons of people are having the exact same issue and it's due to a glitch Samsung screwed up.

    My 1 year warranty along with tons of other people just expired and fortunately for Samsung that's when this problem begins to occur. They will not fix the problem even though it's their fault. Instead they expect you to pay around $200 to get it fixed! To me that is bad business and I will never purchase a Samsung tv ever again and after hearing this I'd suggest you wouldn't either!

And forget about trying to use the "smart" aspect... browsing is a nightmare and I can never get through programming on Netflix or Amazon (and yes, I have sufficient bandwidth with my internet). Samsung slightly edged its competitors out on picture quality but not enough to pay this kind of money for a disposable tv.

    I have a top of the line Samsung 3D Smart TV... It lasted just over 2 years. First one line appeared then the whole right side started to get dark... now it's black. I paid 1700.00. It should last longer than that. I have a Sony that works great and it's over 8 years old... Hmmmm. Also I have a Samsung range and the oven that I bought new after Hurricane Sandy wrecked my home. Well... it stopped working just after the warranty expired. I'm a single guy living alone. How often do you think I use the oven? I have a Dishwasher and microwave oven by Samsung as well. Just waiting for those to fall apart. When they do... I will be out around 4 thousand bucks to use their products for a year or two. It's more like a short term lease. I don't have time to dig up and submit my receipts right now... but I do have them and I do own this awful products. MY ADVICE... DO NOT BUY ANY SAMSUNG PRODUCT... EVER. THEY DO NOT LAST.

    I bought a 50" model UN50FUN50F6400AFXZA so one day which was about 9 months later I turn tv on which I paid 1,050 for tv - the most I've ever paid for a tv - took me a year to save up. I paid for insurance even though has 3 yr limited warranty. Now due to best buy kid that put it on the receipt but he did not charge me for the insurance best buy will not cover it. So I call Samsung and they say that is crazy and look into it. They ask me to plug the tv in which I unplugged immediately so they get on the screen and the small discolored part on upper left screen now. After they are done turned the entire screen like that discoloration. They admit we are not at fault and say a service guy will call. He did and set up time to come by.

    The day before after he ordered the part Samsung tells him they now are not paying for it. He was as pissed as me. He already bought the part. I asked him what it would cost if I paid... 980.00 that's 70.00 less than I paid originally. Are you crazy Samsung? My whole family had Samsung phones, tvs, tablets, etc. I threw it all away. I WILL NEVER EVER BUY ANOTHER Samsung PRODUCT OR MY FAMILY OR FREINDS. I will now dedicate my life to showing everyone how they are LIARS. I have emails from their only service guy on CAPE COD... oh Samsung states "I'm sorry we don't know what happened" and plays stupid and now and are very rude and hang up.

    Purchased 60" Samsung Smart / 3D LED TV UN60ES8000 and used only twice a week for a few hours or two. The TV a few months ago began to show vertical lines of different colors then completely cover the screen - seconds later forcing the TV into an automatic reboot cycle. The cycle could not be stopped cause after it boots it displays the Samsung logo... shows the vertical colored lines covering the screen completely and then the cycle happens again - all lasting a total of about 15 seconds. The cycle will not stop until the TV is physically disconnected from the power as the remote becomes completely useless. I contacted Samsung with warranty time and got it fixed over the phone with a factory reboot.

    Problem came up a few months later after my warranty had ended and Samsung said they would not help me at all unless I paid for the repair... which I feel is unfair since this is an issue that can be seen throughout the web from many owners of Samsung TV's. The TV now is useless and both remotes are failing to work... one completely and one with little life left. The TV can run for about 15 min after being unplugged for a few hours but then after those initial 15 min in it will display the lines and then begin the boot cycle.

    The TV being out of warranty is fine and understandable but not for an issue that MANY other customers have experienced and are still now. Samsung is not owning up to their faulty products and not willing to compensate for the hundreds to even thousands of people on the same page. The TV has now formed a horizontal black line across the left side of the screen after a minute of 2 of that boot loop cycle... This line is there even during those 15 min of working time the TV can have at best.

    I bought this TV 2 years ago. Last October, the picture began cutting out and I got the Samsung Smart TV logo appearing on my screen. Since October, I have contacted Samsung 6 times. Each time, I got ridiculous answers such as "It was a problem when it was set up at the store" (I bought it thru Amazon). Another rep blamed DIRECTV (my satellite provider) though there was nothing with the dish or the receiver. I updated the Firmware, which resolved the issue for several months. On the 6th try, I got someone who knows these TVs well. I explained the problem, and he said it was an issue inside the TV with the power cycle function. He basically said to me, "tough **."

    The product went out of warranty in August 2014 (it worked fine for 14 months), so I am faced with paying for the repair, or buying a one-year warranty for $400 that would cover this repair and any work over the next year. I find it unconscionable that Samsung would have more fork over more money after I paid $800 for the TV. It doesn't understand that if they stepped up, I would buy another Samsung product because they did the right thing. But this way, it will be a cold day in hell before I buy another Samsung product. The question: Would I be better off taking the TV to a repair place? These are computers, not cathode-ray tubes, and I can't imagine the work would be cheap.

The TV was turning ON/OFF by itself, we called Samsung Customer Service and they remotely fix the problem, but that was temporarily. The TV continued doing the same thing, so they sent a technician who said that the power starter board was damaged and he replaced it with a new one. The TV worked fine for about 4 months, until recently it started doing the same thing, turning On/Off again. And here we go again, we called Samsung Customer Service to ask for the TV to be replaced since the warranty is still up and we bought a five year extended warranty, but they are telling us that their technician is the one who determines whether the TV needs to be replaced or not. So again, they are sending a technician over.

    I am certain that they are going to keep sending the repair guy until the warranty is over, then we will be stuck with a defective TV. This is unacceptable, we spend over $2,000 for a TV that had only give us headaches. We had owned TVs that lasted at least 10 years and never had this types of issues.

    I purchased a Samsung 60" Smart TV model UN60H6350AFXZA in February of 2015. By June of 2015 I started having problems with it. Apps wouldn't load, it would turn on and off on its own and it had developed a big black box with lines down one side of the screen. I contacted Samsung, they asked me to send in pictures of the tv which I did. Their service center determined it was an internal cracked panel, they ordered the part and sent someone out to repair it. This was all covered by warranty. When the technician came to my home with the replacement part to do the repair he rubbed his fingers all over the screen and then turned the tv on. The crack had spread, this was a result of him applying pressure to the screen. Now Samsung is refusing to fix the tv because they are claiming physical damage even though in the pictures I took there is no point of impact.

    When I call customer service to complain they told me no repair was ever scheduled and no parts were ever ordered and the technician was sent to my home only to take pictures, not to do repairs. I explained that I have several voicemails from their repair center stating otherwise but they are still saying physical damage based upon pictures taken two weeks after I first contacted Samsung and after their technician pressed on the tv screen. The last time I contacted escalated customer relation I was told once they make a ruling, it cannot be changed. Well the first ruling was covered by warranty so why isn't my television repaired yet? I also don't understand how the other issues I was having with the television would be a result of physical damage. Those things were never addressed.

    This whole thing has been a nightmare and I will never purchase another Samsung product again. They don't stand behind their faulty products and they are extremely dishonest. If anyone else is going through similar issues with them document everything you can because they will flat out deny everything just so they don't have to do the repair.

It is a 55", model #un55eh6000/ the TV of my dreams. Things were fine until the warranty went out and the extended warranty purchased went out. The TV took more and more time to turn on, 3, 5, 15, 20, ? minutes. The last time it was turned off it took 24 HOURS just out of the blue it came back on. I called Samsung. While being treated politely, no one acknowledged this as a continuing problem, even after speaking to 4 people. I was told it had been settled and my TV was not part of it. Keep in mind it is the exact issue of the TVs in the class action lawsuit. However, I was offered an emergency repair warranty for an additional year for only $457.00 at which time I told the lady as politely as I could that this was a rip off and I thought she knew it.

I placed an order online for a 55" JS9000 Samsung TV for $1,899. Within an hour after I made the purchase, I received a call with them telling me the 2% coupon discount is only good for payments by check or wire transfer, which I found very odd but it was about a $60 savings, not a deal breaker. The rep went on to tell me that there was a better "version" of the TV for $2,389 which included a 10-bit screen instead of an 8-bit screen. He took $100 off as well.

    I called back after a bit of research and didn't see any difference between the 2 TVs. He said there are versions built for dept stores and direct from Samsung. I'm familiar with this but still couldn't find anything on the internet, usually someone in the world normally posts something on the internet. I told him to cancel the order and he went on saying that there would be a $80 cancellation fee. I couldn't find this anywhere on their site. I am keeping the order since he reduced this yet another $100, which is cheaper than Amazon anyway. I will report back once I get the TV to possibly help others that might go through something similar.

    BTW - they did have a different webpage for the "better" TV but the specs were identical with NO difference. When I confronted them, they simply said, "This was built in Mexico.

    I bought Samsung smart TV model #un46es650 almost three years ago. Hardly been used because of the other TV in the leaving room. We just started using it since last few months and the screen went half black. I called PC Richards. They said I am not under warranty and they sent the technician for the charge of $90. Technician said it will cost me more than $800 to get it fixed, not worth fixing it. I called Samsung and had a similar answer. I don't know what to do. Samsung should warn their customer that the smart TV will only last for two to three years.

    I bought my Samsung Smart TV (Series 6, 6300, LED TV*) on June 14, 2013 for $839.99. It functioned properly for the first year. At sometime during the second year it began to recycle (Power/Power cycles continuously OFF/ON). I called Samsung Customer Service in April of 2015 and was told that it was out of warranty as I had not taken the second year warranty. Samsung Executive Customer relations granted me a courtesy one-time out of warranty. The technician from Virginia Electronics came on April 28, changed the power cable. I paid a $99.00 service charge.

    It continued to recycle and he returned on May 5 to install a new hard drive power supply (motherboard). I paid $100.00. It continued to recycle. He returned on Jun 16 and replaced it again. Samsung arranged with Virginia Electronics for a no-charge visit. It still recycles. I consulted the DirecTV head technician about the signal. During his visit we were able to trigger the intermittent crash/recycle that is signaled by using the remote to raise the volume. He looked at all the settings and found nothing amiss. He suggested used the Samsung remote to adjust the volume, speculating that perhaps the DirecTV remote was not programmed correctly. No change; it still recycles.

    You can see that I now have a $1000 TV that mischievously turns itself off periodically. And after multiple visits by technicians from both Samsung and DirecTV, there seems to be no change. My conclusion is that I have a lemon that is incapable of being fixed. I would like to ask you to replace this TV with a new and comparable version. With the above history, I think you will consider it. Many thanks for a prompt response and granting of my request.

    I was given a 40in Samsung Smart TV as a gift just over a year ago (May 2014) to replace the Polaroid flat screen that had been in regular use for well over five years. I was extremely excited as Samsung has become one of my favorite brands. Most of my home electronics (including my dslr camera) are Samsung and had the highest of expectations with this tv. I am a movie buff and with the impeccable picture on this tv, I upgraded to a new Blu-ray player and sound bar to complete the experience this last holiday season. I never experienced any issues with the tv unless our wifi signal was weak, which is an unrelated issue.

    About a week ago we experienced the scone power outage within 7 days due to severe weather. My husband and I were at work at the time so our tv was off and plugged into a surge protector. When the power came back on and we attempted to turn the tv on, I noticed that not only did it not respond to the remote, but that it also did not display the red power light in the lower right-hand corner that usually indicates it is receiving power. My husband and I did everything we could think of, including taking the tv into another room to test the outlet. None of the other gadgets (blu-ray player, sound bar, cable box and a pedestal fan) were damaged, indicating that the surge protector was operational and doing its job. We now have to pay $99+ for Geek Squad to come and diagnose the issue.

    After doing some research I found that often times there seems to be an issue with the power supply connection in Samsung Tvs. In light of that I investigated (as best I could for a tech layperson) and from what I can tell the power cord is in fact making a connection to the tv because I can hear the very subtle click of the electrical arc when I try plugging it in. There is literally NO reason why this tv should be broken. Just shy of unplugging it before we leave the house every day we have done everything in our power to prevent damage and I cannot be more surprised or disappointed that just over a year after purchase this tv is broken. I am even more disappointed that a lesser tv from what I felt was a lesser brand lasts five times as long.

    We are currently awaiting diagnosis from Geek Squad and if the cost of repair is more than half the cost of a new one we may be having to pay anywhere from $200-$500 for repair or replacement. In the event that repair is too costly and we have to replace it, we will NOT be buying another Samsung. This issue is also highly disappointing because before this incident my father replaced his old Sony tube tv with a similar Samsung model per my praises and other reviews he had gathered on Samsung products. He now has to reevaluate whether or not he made a good investment and quite possibly might have to replace his tv soon as well. This has been such a waste of time and money.

    At this point the only redemption I foresee for Samsung is if Geek Squad is able to repair it for a decent cost, or if the damage is the result of something outside Samsung's control which at this point I seriously doubt. I will follow up when Geek Squad hands down their diagnosis with a resolution update, but this does not bode well. Samsung's attitude seems to be "buyer beware", which at these prices is just not acceptable customer service to me.

    Samsung has great, Smart Color TV picture. However, why would a company choose poor quality speakers and, at the same time (2015 models), remove the 3.5 mm audio output jack from the back of the TV, disabling external speaker and headphone use? Yes, the only word that I could come up with was 'chintzy'. If you are hard of hearing and buy a Samsung TV for nearly twice the mid-priced model, you get a $2 headphone jack. Chintzy, chintzy, chintzy!

    TV was on and working normally. A red line showed up on the left side of the screen extending from 1/8 to 3/4 of the screen. We have had the TV for 2 to 3 years. So I tried changing the input but the red line remained. I looked up Samsung issues with LED, LCD TVs and found this site. Confirmed the issue and that Samsung will not fix it.

    Samsung needs to fix the issue with their hardware as it gets older - something is breaking and Samsung will lose customers from this type of performance. I am now looking for a new TV to replace this crappy Samsung TV cause as I read the stories, more lines will appear soon. Do I see a class action lawsuit in the future against Samsung for creating a product that dies just after the warranty period ends? I sure hope so!

    Purchase a Samsung LED TV in April 2014. As a secondary TV it was not used daily. In early 2015 the sound and picture began to drop out. First the sound would blink on and off then the picture would disappear and the HDMI port info would show and the Samsung logo. Sometimes the picture returned, sometimes not for a long time. I thought it was the cable box or a bad wire or port. Not so. Finally called Samsung in June after a service certified technician said the motherboard had failed. Repair would cost $400. The TV cost $500. Samsung refused to honor the warranty which was one year, expired in April 2015. Guess it's techno garbage now. Stay away from Samsung products.

    2 years ago, I purchased a high end 65 inch Samsung, Series 8000 LED/3D/Smart TV. It has an incredible picture and an insane refresh rate. I was very impressed. Now, here's the reason for the 1 star rating and you should pay attention. Samsung has recently began forcing Pop Up Ads on the TV. Yes, Popups. These are not the usual images that appear in the bottom of the screen in the picture. They are instead ads that pop up on the left side of the screen shrinking the picture to the right (see the image below). It doesn't matter if you change channels, the popup remains.

    A year ago, I would have raved about this TV and recommended it to all my friends. Today, I wouldn't pay a dime for it and I certainly will never buy a Samsung again. Very poor business practices Samsung. The reason for the rant is I have a Bose sound system tied into the TV. The Bose remote doesn't handle the popups so if I want to close them, I need to pull out the TV remote. If you don't believe me, just google search "Samsung pop up ads". You'll be very surprised. I was also considering a third Samsung purchase (their VR Helmet) but have decided to go somewhere else.

It is a 32 inch and I like it until this happened. Had a few reception problems.. But all in all was okay...

It is defective, and they need to fix these problems as they DID with my computer. Since there are so many people with the same problem - happening about the same time - only makes sense it is a defective part that needs to be fixed by Samsung...

    I purchased a Samsung LED TV. Like many recent consumer products, it has a complex menu with many "terms of art" they use that are not defined. So, it also comes with a "User Manual" so you can sort it out. But, the manual is a single sheet of paper containing 16 very, very small pages (each is about 4-7/8"x7-1/8") with type that is so tiny (4 pts) that even with a magnifier, it's virtually unreadable. But, they offer a PDF page on the website for that TV that claims to be a user manual...but it is the same document! And, it is the same two sheets, so that when you print it, it is unusable. When I called Samsung Technical Support, they said I could have a paper manual, but I had to call their parts distributor, and pay $35 for it! Plus Shipping of $5.02! So, on a $133 TV, they get an extra $35 sale for every customer who wants to actually USE the product!

    This is just an artificial way to boost the net revenue Samsung makes on every TV sale. They provide an unusable manual, rendering the product worthless, then charge $35 for a manual on top of the selling price...so the customer can figure out all their weird names (like "Melody," which means the obnoxious loud sound the TV makes when it is turned on or off; believe me, it's no "melody". It's a loud sound to be making when you turn off your TV before going to sleep! This is what has happened to our "consumer technology:" Send all the manufacturing offshore (Samsung is a Korean company), use obscure terms in setup, then rip off consumers for what are essential components (a ** MANUAL, for cryin' out loud) to get it working.

    Bought my TV at COSTCO in AUG 2014 - 75-inch, 240Hz. TV has sat on the same spot since it was purchase. No movement of TV and no incident. No physical damage, all we do is clean with ICLEAN solution and microfiber towel. Samsung tech shows up - says no physical damage, no issues found, took a couple of pictures and sent to Samsung no explanation, no physical damage. Without failure analysis, they concluded had physical damage. Contradicting the technician. Samsung refuses to repair the TV. Somewhere along the lines, their engineering department has concluded from pictures and don't match the argument of no physical damage from technician.

    I have spent more time on the phone than I'll like in trying to explain that there is no external damage. I keep saying if there is damage internal to please take it apart and show me. The screen has an S-like line at the bottom, SAMSUNG - it's using that argument as a strike on the TV. If there is no physical damage and they are going by pictures, that means there is an issue with their design and location of internal parts. I did some research on their same newer models changes and found differences that their new models have change the support on the middle and expanded base compared to the ends to protect electronics for signal and imaging, meaning there are components in the middle that require care and with the support on the ends is VERY EASY to damage your TV even if you are cleaning your TV screen.

    I would love someone to investigate from SAMSUNG Engineering and get information and publish the findings about the changes from the UN75H6300 and UN75H6400. I am not rich to spend $2,700 on a TV but am a Blu-ray movie fan. I wait for Tuesday releases and run to Best Buy to buy the DVDs that interest me. I really would like an answer from SAMSUNG Engineering as to what component on the screen failed to cause this issue or if there were design problems with the 6300 and applying force to the middle of the bottom of the TV to move?

    Hi. I just want to share my Samsung power problem experiences, where the TV turns off and on. This with the PS51E8000 model (European/Dutch) Plasma TV of 2012. In April 2012 I bought the Plasma TV PS51E8000 for 2000,00 euro. Now June 2015, just over the 2 years factory warranty, the fourth repair is still ongoing..

    First the TV switched off and on by itself, it was repaired for free. Main pcb replaced (September 2012). Then after some time, the TV switched off and on (again). It was repaired for free. Now the power-pcb was replaced (January 2013). A new fail occurred, vertical colored lines (right-hand-side of the screen), and again the TV switched off and on by itself.

    But now the 2 year warranty was passed, some leniency/goodwill gesture was in order, so it cost me max 280 euro. They replaced the whole plasma screen (perfect!). And they replaced the wifi-module, which should fix the power cycles (April 2015). Now May 2015, after the third repair, the off-on problem occurs again. And it was within the 90 day of the third repair. But I think it is not fixable by simple swapping default boards. Maybe and probably due to wrongly designed hardware/software?

    Actually it seems to be that this TV was far from perfect. In the Netherlands for this TV, the consumer life-span of this kind of TV is set for 6 years. It never reached it. Within a few months the degrading began. PS, the off/on is very active, then days or weeks nothing, then it starts again resetting/power failing. Thanks for reading!

    So we contracted the "click of death" on our Samsung 42'' TV (LN-T4061F faulty capacitor). Every time we turned the TV on it would click and click and click and click... for up to 10 minutes each time. We ignored it at first, that was our first mistake. We used it as a secondary TV (in a bedroom) so it was rarely used and now the clicking continues but it will not turn on anymore. The problem... 2 faulty capacitors. These $5 (for the pair) parts are not sturdy enough to handle the load required. The repair cost $150-$400 depending on the company you use and the amount of time your repairman spends on the repair.

    I did some research, the TV was involved in a class action suit... Samsung responded immediately with "we'll fix them!" so the judge involved agreed to allow it and anyone who already paid for the repair was reimbursed. The suit was dismissed. The problem... they stopped honoring this at the end of 2013 or so I was told when I called. The customer service rep was "happy to help me schedule a repair."

I encourage everyone to search for the UCC Uniform commercial code, in your State. Look up the Implied Warranty of Merchantability. It is implied in the law. It is the law. The measly limited express warranty that wave at you has no effect on the law. I will likely commence legal action after my damages are determined. There may be a class action out there.

They simply didn't care whatsoever. I have other TV brands in my home and none have performed so poorly as Samsung. Their design is "gimmicky at best".

    Many of the advertised features of my set never worked or were cumbersome to use. For example, their set does not provide for "Variable Volume Out", so supplying audio to an external amplifier is very poor requiring multiple remote controls. The advertised access to the home network never worked, and their remote is very difficult to use. Add all the bad about their equipment, and then the lack of Warranty coverage on defective design just leaves consumer to be advised to purchase other brands. Samsung is not a reputable company.

They did, told me to call factory rep for Samsung in Richmond! Did, he said a main panel went out and not cost effective to fix! Got email from AMX saying to send copy of rep report and copy of my receipt from Costco. I did that! Waited several days only response was "we received your documents" and it will take another 10 to 12 business days to get answer.

    Well today they sent email saying I had dropped my card for a short period of time after I had purchased my tv. I did, but I were enrolled back shortly after. But AMX said that that temp stop of the card wasn't the concern. They said they did not have an extended warranty with Costco! I said "why didn't you tell me that a month ago!" So, no help any where and no more Samsucks or I mean Samsung's!

    In January of 2013, we purchased a Samsung 60" flat screen TV. In March 2014 (14 months after purchase), the screen went black but we still had volume. The TV was 60 days out of warranty. We contacted Samsung and after some stern conversation, they agreed to repair the TV at no charge. In May of 2015 (again 14 months after the first repair), the exact same thing happens. After a week on and off of the phone with Samsung, they decided that they were not going to help us in any way. They said that the repairs are on us as the TV is out of warranty. I explained that it is very disturbing to me and I am struggling with the fact that these TV's are only lasting 14 months.

    I did some research and found that Samsung in fact under-manufactured their TV's. They inserted 10 volt capacitors in a TV that was known to put out 12-13 volts, rendering the original capacitors no good. They fail because they cannot handle the voltage load the TV puts out. This is not a secret to Samsung. In many complaints and articles, Samsung acknowledges these issues. Yet, they will not stand by the product and replace the capacitors with a set that can handle the voltage output.

    I told the Samsung supervisor that I will be contacting as many consumer affairs websites/companies along with the BBB and my local news station that handle consumer issues. The Samsung supervisor advised me that she noted all of this and that the conversation was over. I could handle it if the TV was 4 or 5 years old and this was an isolated incident. But that is not the case here. There is a major issue with these capacitors and TV's that is well known by Samsung and the TV is only 28 months old. This is repulsive. I will never again purchase any Samsung product nor will I recommend to friends and family to do that either. I will discourage it vehemently. This is the poorest business practice that I have heard of in my life.

    It is very sad that a company as big as Samsung and the amount of products they produce will not show compassion to their customers and stand behind their product. You pay thousands of dollars for an electronic device that is expected to last a minimum of 7-10 years and the company discards you like a used dinner napkin. Disgusting. The Samsung company does not give two ** about the smaller customer. Now I understand that my one decision to never purchase another Samsung product will not make a dent in the company's bottom line, but it will save me money in the future when I do not give them my hard-earned money.

    Our 65" TV (model UN65F7100AFXZC) has become faulty after its purchase 20 months ago (now 6 months after the warranty period). It suddenly developed this wide dark horizontal band across the middle of the screen. We called Samsung and they said the warranty was over and we would have to pay for repair. We have had two technician repair quotes. One was a certified Samsung technician. They both said that the Front Panel needed to be replaced due to the back lights burning out. The repair cost is estimated at $2000.00!! Is our only option to pay 75% of the original cost of this TV for repair OR to discard this TV?? At this time, we feel totally angry and ripped off by Samsung!!!

    I bought this TV in July of 2014 from Wal-Mart. I took out the extended to add to the year warranty. The TV has been hardly used because it is less than a year old and is watched mostly on special occasions. One day I tried to power up the TV but no response other than the blinking red light for the power. Did not notice that a crack had appeared in the screen even though there has never ever been any physical damage to the TV. Awaiting repair as of June 2, 2015 as of 15:30 hours. Looked on the Internet and found numerous incidents relating to Plasma's Samsung products with cracked screens. There is something rotten in Denmark.

    Purchased this TV (2009 Samsung 32" LED Model UN32B6000VFXZA) back in 2009. Approx cost was $1600. The picture quality on this TV is superb. But, about 18 months ago it started with the clicking on/off problem. Same as I now see all over the internet. I don't know why I didn't call Samsung 18 months ago when it first started acting up. But now, since it won't turn on until 15 minutes of clicking I finally researched the internet and called Samsung. My communication with Samsung was at their website through the "Live Chat" function. After a lengthily (almost 60 minute) discussion the customer service rep did submit my issue to the next level of technical support. I don't know what that means exactly but, they are supposed to get in touch with me within the next (2) business days. I'll keep you posted with the results.

    We purchased two Samsung TV's in 2012 - one is a Smart TV and the other is not. Since May 2015, the Smart TV has started turning off and on when it is first turned on - this happens anywhere from 3-5 times then it stays on just fine. BUT this happens every time it is first turned on - so if we leave to do errands or groceries, etc. and turn off the set and then turn it back on when we return, then here we go again with the on-off ritual! We did our research and decided on this brand for our new home. We love the picture, etc. - but you would think after spending so much on this TV, it would not wind up having problems after just 3yrs!!! What is the deal??!!

    I bought a 32" Samsung Smart TV on April 27, 2015.. It is defective, Samsung will not replace it! This TV has not worked fully, since the day I purchased it. The TV connects to the internet, but blocks all incoming ISPs. Therefore, I cannot access the internet. I have called Samsung support at last count, 14 times, I have also tried twitter and live chat. No one will listen to the problem, they talk over me, and tell me the same wrong solutions each time for 3 weeks. Finally they "escalated" the issues to ** in customer relations, I was told that my tv needed "service" and someone would call within 24-48 hours. 49 hours later I called only to be told that no one would come to my home for "a tv that small". I needed to take it for service at a shop, 40 miles from my home.

    I took it to the shop, a week ago, and picked it up today.. It still does not work properly. I called support once again, it took me 20 minutes to get past the first level of "support", only to be told that I need to send it for service, and I will be without my tv for 6-8 weeks. I asked that they simply replace this defective tv with a working tv, and was told "we cannot do that, all we can do is offer repair service." If the tv is ever repaired, I will sell it and buy another brand.

    I purchased a Samsung Smart TV 40" from Target on March 12th. After a couple weeks, it began to freeze whenever we watched Netflix on it and after a month it began to power cycle (turn off and on automatically). It stopped and a few weeks later, it began power cycling to no end. I called Samsung to either replace it (since it was literally only two months old and now non-functioning), however they stated that since it was on warranty, it can only be repaired. That was a whole other ordeal, in order to get my TV, repaired I needed to take off work. When I refused and demanded either a weekend or evening repair service (you know, since I've only had the television for two months), I had to wait for a service center that provides weekend service to contact me.

    Finally one did, only they did not provide weekend and evening service like I asked. They forwarded my ticket to another agency that did do weekend service, however they NEVER CALLED BACK TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. My ticket finally got to someone who does evenings, only they were so slammed by Samsung devices my husband had to drop the television off to them. Now we are going on two weeks at the repair shop and three weeks of the TV not working and after doing research, I should have done prior to purchasing the TV. I noticed hundreds of people have this power cycling issue.

    We purchased a Samsung TV April 2014 and the beginning of May 2015 the TV shut itself off and has not turned back on since. We have been dealing with the issue for the entire month and have tried the numerous fixes they have instructed us to try. After the first troubleshooting session we were told to contact our local service provider and were given a claim number and told someone would help us fix our TV. We contacted the service provider and gave them the claim number. We were told they were located 300 miles away and were not the proper service provider for our area and gave us another phone number to call.

    In short we have tried everything they have told us to try with absolutely no results. Researching it online today I found more information and called the Samsung manufacturer directly. After being transferred and numerous times I was hung up on so I called back again and was told this has been upgraded to their executive customer relations team and that I would now be receiving a call within 1 to 2 business days.

    Back in December of 2014, my mom bought me a Samsung 46" Smart TV. I took really good care of it and about 3 weeks ago, my boyfriend turned on my tv and there were 3 vertical lines and 3 horizontal lines running across the tv. When I called Samsung, they asked for the model number on the back of the tv. When my mom turned the tv around, it got unplugged. When we replugged it back in, it went from vertical and horizontal lines to the left corner of the screen turned completely white. Now, nothing hit the tv because no one was at home in between the time that the tv was working fine, and the time that he turned it on and it was broken. Samsung had a tech come out and look at the tv... the guy was kind of an **. He came out, took 2 pictures of the tv and then left. On the way out was when he told my dad that the tv looked as if it had been hit and that Samsung wouldn't be fixing it...

    When I called 3 days later, they said that the panel team determined that it was physical damage and they wouldn't be fixing it... There is no way that something hit the tv because there is NO indention, no mark, no starburst pattern.... NOTHING. It's all on the inside of the tv and Samsung refuses to fix it themselves. I'm so angry right now and I will NEVER purchase anything else from Samsung. If this is how they run their customer satisfactory program, I will never purchase from them again. It doesn't take anything to send me a box and me send the tv back to them and they either send me a new tv or fix that one.... They said that I could get a second opinion out there but we would have to pay for it ourselves. Why should we have to do that? This tv breaking is NOT my fault.

    I bought a 40" smart TV from a major wholesale store. When I assembled it, the power cord was wrong (it had a square plug instead of 2 rounds). The Samsung rep said take it back. I did and after assembling number 2 TV we found it had a permanent vertical line about 1/3 of the way from the right side. The Samsung rep had me do some diagnostics and then said take it back. I did and then assembled my third 40" TV. The picture would go off after about 8 seconds and then come on repeating this cycle over and over. The Samsung rep had me do some diagnostics and said it must be associated with my cable provider. I then called the cable company who checked my signal and said everything was fine. They then suggested I switch to HDM2 port. This solved the problem. I tried my DVD player in HMD1 and it would not work either.

    I called the Samsung rep who wrote a service request ticket and said I would be contacted within 24 hours for a rep to come to the house. The next day I received a call from a Samsung rep who wanted to have remote management group research the problem. I said OK and she then cancelled the first ticket and transferred me to Remote Management. The phone went dead. I called back and got another rep, explained everything and he then said he could do remote diagnostics. He did this and said the service rep would have to come to the house. I asked him to open back up the cancelled ticket and he said that was not possible. The only thing he could do was to refer me to the service contractor.

    I asked to be transferred to someone who could resolve this more quickly. I then talked to someone in the customer relations dept, explained the whole story and said I either wanted someone to come the next day or I was finished with the TV, Samsung products, and would forever be a critic. She contacted the service center and said they can not guarantee when they would come but would call me in 24 to 48 hours to see if a visit was needed. I told her to forget it, expressed my displeasure in their process of dealing with issues like this and their inability to provide prompt resolution. I will be taking the TV back this morning and will never be a Samsung customer again.

The screen goes black then the Smart TV logo comes on then the picture returns. It was happening several times an hour. We called Samsung and they told us to unplug the TV from the surge protector and to plug it directly into the wall and that will solve our problem. We did that and it did not solve the problem. We called Samsung again and they said to update the software and that will solve our problem. We did that and it did not solve the problem. Now the TV is shutting off every 5 to 10 minutes and doesn't come back on. We have to turn it back on. We called Samsung again and they told us the TV is (3 months) out of warranty so we can either purchase an extended warranty or have a TV repairman fix it.

    We spent $4,500 on this TV and don't want to spend any more money. We can't believe that Samsung will not do anything about this problem. The model number is UN65F9000. We also called Paul's TV (where we bought it) and they told us sorry, but they couldn't help us. We are very disappointed. We'll probably pay to have it fixed, but next time we buy a TV, it will not be a Samsung, and it will be $600 so we can throw it out when it breaks.

I had purchased both of my kids' Samsungs and had great success with their TVs. I do not watch a lot of television so the television does not get a lot of use. Some days it's not even turned on. I turned it on one day and it had a vertical line and then the next week and had a couple more and I called Samsung and found out that of course it was out of warranty because I have had it for almost 2 years and actually I think it was about 18 months. So they told me that they would put me in contact with a repair shop in my area but stressed that I would have to pay for it which I said okay several times and that was fine.

    The repair shop called and left me a voicemail without even bothering to come out or talk to me at all and tell me it was going to be 1200 dollars to fix it and that I might as well go buy a new one but if I wanted them to fix it that they would come out to call them back. So not only did I get treated poorly by Samsung but even the repair people didn't want to bother with my television. I thought I could put up with the lines for awhile but now my television has even more lines and it has developed a nice big white spot like a rising sun. I will now have to go television shopping and I will not buy another Samsung. They may have a beautiful picture but do not last very long.

We called a repairman in who said it could be the power supply board which he could return with and install for a COOL SUM of $500, but he said it may not necessarily fix it. With that analysis he promptly collected his $99 house visit fee and we never saw him again because we just did not want to order the power supply board and have it NOT be the main cause the TV wasn't working. So we ordered our own power supply board and my very intelligent techie son-in-law installed it. YIPPEE! We mounted the monstrous TV up on the wall again and enjoyed our TV - but the next day: the tv would not turn on, again no picture. So we troubleshot the other boards, possible culprits, and ordered those brand new, but to no avail. The tv would not produce a picture.

    Initially, I had called Samsung consumer support, but a very recalcitrant woman insisted that the tv was out of warranty and Samsung could do absolutely NOTHING to help us, even though we paid $1900 for this product just two years before. So what is a consumer to do? FIRST, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER buy another Samsung product again and spread the word to other unsuspecting consumers.

It also has a vertical line on the right quarter of the screen with 4 pixels being very bright. It has been used moderately over the last year and not hit or abused in any way. It is obviously a defective display. Because they only have a 1 year warranty, they refuse to help and direct me to service. A replacement screen is almost as much as what I paid for the TV.

    This is maddening as I checked the reviews and settled on this because it was highly rated. What makes this especially maddening is that I have bought other Samsung products (a 3D bluray player (which the wireless has failed) and appliances (of which the stove (not a low end unit has to be repaired under warranty twice with the third time to be repaired I did it myself and have not had any problems since)) which have failed as well outside of the warranty period. I am not happy with their response, especially with this TV. At this point, I will never buy Samsung again as I have had too high of a failure rate with their products.

    Hi, I hope this message reaches at least one customer sensitive executive at Samsung. I have been trying to get a resolution to my problem for over 4 months now but all I am being offered are some blunt apologies and an unacceptable solution. So here is another try. We bought a Samsung LED TV set in March 2012 thinking that we are getting the best class quality product currently in the market. Alas, in December 2012, we started seeing an issue in the TV screen wherein a black bar appeared in the top half of the screen. We were shocked to the hilt as this is not something that is expected in the first year of TV's normal operation.

    Nevertheless, we thanked our stars as the TV was still in warranty period. The panel was replaced at that time and we were told that it is a very rare problem seen and shouldn't happen again. Now two years later, we are getting a similar problem again where we see a horizontal and a vertical dotted line on the screen which kind of divides the screen into four. Imagine our shock again. And now we are told that it is a rare problem and we would have to change the TV panel again and the problem should not be seen again. After spending Rs 60,000 on a seemingly world class product, this is what we get. Getting "rare" problem twice within 3 years of TV's purchase shattered our belief about the quality of Samsung products. And we are being expected to pay Rs 24,000 to change the panel and wait (with our fingers crossed) till a similar problem happens again. We obviously would not waste our hard earned money like that.

    It might be just a case of one defective product among hundreds of the same kind which are good. And we understand that. But what we are more disappointed about is the way this is being handled by the Samsung representatives. Nobody is actually trying to understand our plight. Its such a logical thing to understand that getting a problem twice within such a short span of time does qualify for the issue to be looked upon as a special one and not just be told about the warranty period clauses. We know that warranty is for 1 year but warranty does not mean that the product will run for just one year after which the customer would have to keep spending money to keep it running. Such products are expected to run for years without any issues. We have seen that happening with other brands. We are just not getting any responsible solution from Samsung.

    All we get is a standard template mail having sentences like 'we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your feedback', 'Samsung products stand out as best in terms of quality and service of the products.', 'we always believe that our customers are the best judge and may help with improving our products' and so on. All these flowery things seem nice only when one actually stands up on them otherwise they just sound fake.

    We are nothing in front of a big company like Samsung, so this is definitely not a fight we are expecting to win. All we can do is raise a voice against the injustice and if there is someone out there who really cares about company's reputation would listen and do something about it. I still have hope from Samsung as I just can't believe that a company which has made a stronghold in the market over the time can do that while remaining agnostic to customer needs and wants. Thanks in anticipation. TV Model No - UA40D5000PHXXL.

    We bought a 55" Samsung LCD TV in June of 2012 (Model #UN55ES6550) for $2,200. Last summer (2014), it started displaying thin horizontal lines across the bottom of the screen. I called Samsung to ask about repair service for this set because there's no way that a TV that expensive should have had this kind of problem in that short a period of time. They said no to any warranty coverage, but did send a technician out to the house. He turned it on, saw the lines, and said "new screen...$800." We tried to get Samsung to cover this because of the previous class-action cases, but they refused to cover it.

    Finally, a few weeks ago, the screen suddenly started displaying vertical white bands over all content (menus, etc.). The entire height of the screen and the display itself went completely white with menus and content showing up as negatives. Once again, Samsung refused to provide any assistance. I went online and found that there have been many problems with the T-Com boards that manage the video displays in Samsung TV's. Bought a replacement board from a repair shop for $60...but that didn't solve the problem...the repairman said he'd seen far too many problems with Samsung TV's and was surprised that these models hadn't been recalled or a class action lawsuit filed. Wound up putting my $2,200 TV in the garage to hold as evidence...and buying a $400 LG TV to use in the meantime.

    I wish I had read all the comments before buying a Samsung TV. I am not exaggerating but I called 11 times and spent more than two hours trying to talk to someone that would help me. All my calls were answered by rude Filipino people. The eleven times that I called is not including the numerous times that I was transferred to different departments. I am giving up and will just toast my six month old TV and go get me a different brand this time.

    Got this TV 2 weeks ago. It would not connect to internet. Samsung sent out a tech as it was from Costco (they seem to scare these manufacturers). The tech was there over an hour resetting everything. Finally it would connect to wifi and hardwire. Main problem is Samsung won't let you connect a dvd player, it must be bluray. Now I have apps etc, the TV has now started dropping the odd dialogue from TV programs. I was really starting to notice. Now the sound drops altogether, I have to disconnect the power and turn back on to fix (annoying). Now when I turn on it says no signal from my cable box. I turn the TV off/on a couple of times then it's fixed. Enough is enough, I have returned the TV and am trying another brand.

    I bought a Samsung 40" 3D LED Smart TV in approx 90K in Oct 2011. It was a huge amount to spend on a TV. But as it was Samsung & with latest technology I thought it will be worth for my passion. Since 1-2 weeks I can see a faded horizontal line on my TV screen which is defecting in viewing the TV. I tried with different sources i.e. Pen Drives & PC VGA cable but the issue was as it was. Then I called customer care & service engineer told me that it is the problem with the panel & it needs to be change. When I inquired about the cost he told me it will be above 35K + VAT & service taxes. On a TV which I have brought in 90K should I spend 40K more for repairing in next 3 years?

    Previously I had brought a LG CRT TV in year 1999 which is still working fine. But this LED of Samsung could not work even for 4 years. This is worst to know that after spending a huge amount also you are not even guaranteed for a quality product. Even if it would have a rare issue I would have not complained but I can see the several same reviews from other folks from different countries. I forced to write this review because It seems I wasted my money with Samsung. I was a fan of Samsung. I own many products from Samsung i.e. 2*Fridge, Washing Machine, 6-7*Mobile Phone, LED TV. But now I will suggest not to buy Samsung even it offers a latest technology with good to look offers as the inside quality is not good. From my side I would say a total waste of money.

    In case of mobile phones also I am disappointed from Samsung side. I am having 6 Samsung android phones but nobody is having a good performance. So overall it is not good to buy Samsung. It's a learning for me & same I am sharing with you all. Anybody wants to take it further can contact me on my EMail- **. Many Thanks to give the attention. Please save your hard-earned money...

    I have a flat screen television purchase a few years ago that has been cycling itself on and off for over a year. I recently found out through an online search that it was manufactured with a defective capacitor. Because of this known defect, I contacted Samsung and requested a free repair. I have never requested a free repair on any product outside of warranty, but because this was a known defect I felt that they should stand behind it. I called and was told that they were offering free repairs for about a year but the program has expired.

    I appealed this through the Better Business Bureau and a letter from the office of the president at Samsung tells me everything I need to know about this company. The letter states "In September 2013, we completed all legal requirements associated with the referenced Capacitor Settlement." Simply stated, they were sued over the defective part and once they met their legal requirements, everyone can go screw themselves. To hell with what is morally right, to stand behind a "defective/inferior" part - their words, not mine.

    Husband got up one morning and the TV was literally split in half with a good picture on the left and a black band down the center with right side of the screen showing a pic that was pixelating badly. I got up to that after my husband had left to work. After a minute or so the picture on the right disappeared followed not long after by the left side with 2 thumbprint sized dots on the bottom left corner. Audio was fine. We bought this TV in December 2014 as an early Christmas gift, complete with warranty. It is now 05/07/2015 and after several failed attempts after calling the company and having to follow the directions that didn't resolve the problem. We were referred to Complete Electronics.

    The lady that spoke to my husband said she knew exactly what the problem was (w/o even seeing the TV) being the graphics card. That she had ordered it and as soon as it came in the tech would be out, well the tech came out took a look @ the picture, acted like he had no idea what the problem was and took some pics on his phone and stated he would send them to Samsung. We waited almost 2 weeks and no one contacted us. My husband called Complete Electronics twice with no results. He then called Samsung and spoke with a guy there that read the notes and gave us a direct # to Complete Electronics. My husband did leave a message again. Complete Electronics called us the next day and left a message stating that Samsung had looked @ those pics sent by the tech's phone and decided that it was not covered under the warranty because of customer abuse/neglect. WTH? All from a phone pic? We are not happy campers right now.

    I purchased a 64" plasma Samsung TV that was in a box (open stock) from a retailer that was closing down. The TV would not power up out of the box. I made numerous calls to rectify the problem but on every occasion I was told there would be no warranty for numerous reasons. I would argue my valid position and on three different times was given warranty repair authorization. I figured common sense had prevailed on each occasion. Unbelievably my warranty was later denied for the most invalid lame excuses. I even chatted with their representatives about my scenario regarding their warranty positions unknown to the rep that I had already purchased a television to verify my warranty validity and felt comfortable with my position. The fact of the matter is it was a new TV, warranty papers were in the box, I had a valid receipt from an authorized Samsung dealer and they refused to provide warranty for the most lame excuses you could imagine.

    Please learn from the mistake I made and beware of buying anything from a company that will claim you have warranty and in the same breath refuse it for reasons like the price you paid for the product, it was purchased from a store closing, it was out of date and the last excuse was the company I purchased it from did not have Samsung warranty when on the side of the box it clearly has a shipping label from Samsung Canada to the retailer. It was not grey market stock. I have never been so frustrated with a company in all my life. I have several Samsung appliances in our home and have always been a strong supporter of the brand. Thanks a hell of a lot for your support when I needed it.

So I call and of course the year long warranty is up, told someone will contact me. Told them I am not paying someone to fix it. It is only 2 years old.

    I will never buy anything made from Samsung again. I also bought a small Emerson at the same time for my bedroom, which I turn on when I am ready to sleep to cover noise from the parking lot that wakes me up. So the Emerson has been used for many more hours than the Samsung, which I mostly watched on weekends.

    As many other owners I have had a disappointing experience with my 3.5-year-old Samsung 50" Plasma TV, PN50C450B1DXZA. 2 problems are going on, Flashing screen & 2 horizontal black lines on the screen.

Based on the high ratings this product/company receives I thought that it will last for more than only 3.5 years. Despite a class action lawsuit for models prior to 2009, I, along with many others, find myself in a similar circumstance with a TV that doesn't work.

    Samsung has refused to fix it cause of the expired warranty, they should be ashamed about their faulty products and lack of a good customer service. We should start a class lawsuit!! I think people should be made aware if these problems before purchasing. Check/research first about what people says about the product before buying.

    When we purchased our home we did our homework on televisions, and we wanted a quality product that would last. After reading many reviews we went with a Samsung 60-inch plasma. That television is two years old and we had a technician out today that diagnosed us with a "bad Y-main." The good news is it is repairable. The bad...it will cost $330. After hearing that the repair is going to cost almost half as much as the television, I called Samsung and spoke with an executive customer relations representative. I explained to her that we bought for quality and while I understood that the TV was out of warranty, I thought that it would be fair if Samsung bought the part and we paid for the labor. Since a two-year-old television should not have a bad Y-main that was only fair.

    She said she was sorry, they would be able to do nothing to help us out. That my friends is the response from the nation's leader in televisions with over 70% of the market. I will NEVER purchase a Samsung television again. They obviously do NOT stand by their good name and customer service is not a priority to them.

    Guys think 10 times before buying any large screen Samsung TV. I been a loyal Samsung customer for years, with most electronics at home being from Samsung. Be it ACs, TVs, microwave, washing machine and what not. Anyway I had always wanted to buy a large screen TV and after going through many TVs on the market decided to go with the company I was loyal to and bought a 51" Samsung Plasma TV PSE51E550 with my hard earned money. I regret the day I decided to do that. Within two years the TV had vertical line run all across the screen. Their engineers came and nonchalantly said "your panel is gone bad and you have to replace it." Which in real life terms translates to spending Rs.26-27K on a TV on which I had already spent about 85k only two years back. I mean is this some joke?

    TV sets would mostly last years or at least 4-5 years before you would need to fix anything. Of course there would be that rare case when something might get bad and of course there is a place for exceptions. But to my surprise, after spending couple of hours on the net researching I could see thousands and thousands of buyers across US, UK, and Asia were majorly disgruntled with Samsung large screen TVs and Plasmas because they had seen their hard earned money go down the drain. People have contemplated putting up a class action law suit against Samsung, but not one has come around to doing it yet. The problem lies with the very poor manufacturing standards of Samsung. Period. They are fooling customers and making profits in zillions of dollars. I would understand if I have bought some cheap non branded stuff from the local market and that going bust in couple of years and the company not owning up to it.

    But I did not do that precisely to avoid any such hassles. I went with an established brand, paid a heavy premium on buying that TV set and expect some basic standards form the high value purchase I made. Samsung does not care about its customers, at all. It is out of sheer disrespect and only with an eye to making profits that they are doing business. Everyone beware of buying anything Samsung. I am a very disgruntled buyer and is also extremely angry and disappointed with how I have been short changed in this entire exercise. I have a serious intention of not letting this go and see that 1000's of people like us see some justice. Even if I buy that new panel for 26-27k they hardly have any warranty on that. It is 3-6 months max. Imagine they don't even let you buy additional warranty on that. So after that anything goes wrong you are completely burned.

    That 85k TV you bought couple of years back and on which you again spent 26-27k making the total go beyond 1 lac does not own up to anything in Samsung's eyes. This is a highly corrupt practice that they are following and this needs to be brought out in the open to the world. Or else many other people will suffer unknowingly. There needs to be a case filed on the basis of my complaint here and followed to the end. Anyone willing to help me and have suffered at the hands of Samsung in this corrupt manner please join me on this and spread the word. If anyone is a lawyer or paralegal and know how to put up a formal case against Samsung please come forward and let me know. And this by the way is no fraudulent post of some competitor.

    When I was transferred to the service warranty department, they quoted over $350 which only included parts and labor for repairs. In the event that they couldn't fix it they offered to refund the $350 but would not replace the TV or refund the purchase price. When I pointed out that I could purchase a new TV for $350 that would actually last more than 4 years they didn't seem to care.

I experienced the "shuffle", the blaming it on others i.e Netflix. Samsung took every opportunity to distance themself from the issue. I have read several other reviews, and their experience with Samsung. An all too familiar picture. I realise now that my problem is relatively minor. A minor software glitz that should easily be fixed. But after experiencing Samsung's technicians and their impossible call centres, I just give up. But my interaction with Samsung will ensure, that I will never again purchase any Samsung product.

    Samsung 46 inch smart tv died in 2.5 yrs. I found the TV display not working and just some white light would show up and no picture. After a lot of tussle I got the service guys to come take a look (mastertech 3rd party). They immediately concluded the timing control circuitry is broken and order that. When they got the part and tries replace the TV would still not show anything. They concluded the Panel (costing about 500$) was broke. Wondering if anyone has similar experience. Samsung support clearly said it is out of warranty and they won't be able to fix this. How can a TV last for only 2.5 yrs. Does samsung even do some testing for reliability. Extremely pissed.

    I purchased a Samsung 32" Smart TV on Dec 22, 2014. Everything was fine, until about Feb 2015 when it randomly wouldn't connect to our wifi in the house. And by random I mean it might connect in the morning, but then at night it won't, and it won't let you manually change it either. So I called Samsung and they told me it was my internet providers fault, which I didn't believe since we have another smart tv, xbox, playstation, wii, iPads, and phones that all have no problem staying connected to the wifi. But, I called our internet provider just to cover my bases, told them the issue and they said it couldn't be them seeing as our other items had no problem staying connected, but he did what he could, walked me through some steps just to be sure.

    After another 2 weeks of still having the same problem I called them today, was told they would send out a repair person. I told them we don't live in a big city and that I doubted there would be anyone around that could fix it. They asked me if Richmond, BC was close as they could send out a repair person from there, I laughed and said "well it's in another province, not even close to me, likely a 14 hour drive" then they wanted to send someone from Cochrane and it's 2.5 hours away. Come on the TV cost me $400, they would be paying at least that in driving time for a repair person to come here. I have been demanding a new tv all day and have been put off. This tv isn't even 4 months old and they refuse to take care of a simple fix, exchanging my tv for one that works.

    At the end of the call they said they needed 24-48 hours to research a repair person. This is absolutely ridiculous, I have been tweeting them all day regarding my frustration, as I see it social media might come in handy! Tomorrow they are getting another phone call, I refuse to let this drop. By the way, I called and was on hold for 1.5 hours, thought this is ridiculous and called them from my cell phone, wouldn't you know someone answered right away. When I told her what had happened she skipped over it like it was nothing. Today alone I spent 4 hours on the phone with these people and all they could do was read me their script, not one person deviated from it, which is crazy.

    Updated review: May 8, 2015

    After dozens of calls, describing and giving the same info over and over my case was resolved. Never getting to talk to the same person twice was, of course frustrating. On May 4 I did receive a check for 75% of the original sale price. The warranty ran out 3 weeks before I contacted Samsung. But the 1st Executive I spoke with wanted to help me. But I guess each of the succeeding Executives did not.

    But they said they would help me so I was persistent and after 2 1/2 months my case was resolved. Samsung didn't have to do anything but they did help me out. And I will buy Samsung again. I think with any big company there are going to be problems with products and how the situation is resolved.

    Original Review: April 9, 2015

    Samsung PN64f5500AFXZA Plasma TV. Very loud annoying buzz. Within 1 year vertical lines appeared on display. Once lines appear display only gets worse. I didn't realize the 12 mo. warranty was so close to expiring so I put off getting in touch with Samsung. By the time I contacted Samsung, the warranty had expired 3 weeks earlier. But to my surprise and delight Samsung’s "Executive Department" said they would give me a "One Time Accommodation" covering parts and labor. They said one of their warranty service providers would call in 3-5 business days and come to my home and replace the display. Samsung said it on Feb 20th. ** from Samsung said it again on March 10. ** said it on March 19. And ** said it again March 28th. All from the "Executive Department".

    Each time getting a new ticket number, Each time you call Samsung you have to describe the problem with the tv. Give them the model and serial number. Email them a picture of the display. Email them the original Bill of Sale. Each person you talk to has to be given all the information again. I gave the same information over and over again. 20 times or so. On March 30 ** from Exchange and Refund Department of Samsung called. Samsung was offering me a refund. Twenty percent deducted for each year. I had owned it for 1 year at that time and was possibly getting 80 percent of the original price back. She or maybe it was Samsung would contact me in, yes again, 3-5 business days. I heard that a lot. No one ever did I always had to contact them. But each time I got a very good response from them. "Oh yes we are going to fix your tv."

    I think their position is to wear you down until you finally give up and accept that the promises they made were hallow. It pretty much worked out that way. It is April 9th and I have not heard from Samsung. Why they offered to to fix my tv free of charge, I do not know. Why they offered to refund 80 percent of the original price I don't know. I can only guess it may have been an inferior product and they knew it. But in the end they just ignored me after hanging the phone up. Why they would get my hopes up each time and then dash them I don’t know. In the end I didn't get anything except frustrated.

    I have a Samsung 60" Plasma Smart TV, model # PN60E7000FFXZA. It was made in May of 2012. It just recently started to power cycle itself off then on approximately three to four times once you initial power it on, then it's OK, as long as you do not turn it off, and if you do it start that process all over again. The TV will no longer connect to my wireless network. I called Samsung to see if they would cover the cost of the repair, I got the statement that it was no longer covered under warranty or the class action lawsuit, and that Samsung was aware of the issue and that I would have to pay for the repairs for the faulty and under size capacitors.

    It is a shame that a company is knowingly manufacturing defective products and is so blatant about not repairing them. I own several Samsung products such as an electric flat top stove, dishwasher, refrigerator, cell phone, Galaxy Tab 3 notebook, blu-ray players, and not to mention a 60" plasma TV. I will call Geek Squad to see what they will charge for the repair since I bought the TV from Best Buy. I can tell you this from the bottom of my heart - I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER SAMSUNG PRODUCT EVER!!! I have also informed all my family, co-works, and friends of this issue, and gave them several internet links about Samsung lack of quality control on their products, and the lack of stepping up to the plate and doing right by its consumers.

    Model # UN24H4500AFXZA. Purchased one at Best Buy in December 2014. It was used only twice and then it lost all of its software. No smart hub or any other software on it when I turned it on the 3rd time. Returned, took replacement home, noticed it had a rattling sound just like the first. Packaged it back up, took it back. The customer service man opened another from the shelf stock and it rattled as well. I asked him to try 1 more. The next one didn't rattle, so I took that one home. Everything was fine for four months.

    Then one day while I was on Netflix, the tv reboots itself. Turns off, turns back on all by itself. It's not connected to anything other than the power outlet and my modem. I don't have cable, so there's no cable box interference. The 32" Samsung I still have in my living room was made in 2007. It's still going strong - never had a problem. But recently finding only 1 in 4 that doesn't have a defect, I won't be purchasing a Samsung for my living room when it comes time. Honestly, the sound that comes out of this tv is as they say, "tinny". Not enough bass, sounds like it's bouncing off the sides inside a tin can. Even if it is a smaller tv, I expect it to be a decent tv. This one isn't. I don't recommend staying loyal to Samsung as I was before this.

    We have a Samsung tv Un60es8000fx that we bought an extended warranty for 2 extra years. It has issues with turning off by itself and no picture, just a rainbow of colors. Been calling Samsung for a month trying to get fixed and have gotten the run around. They said that they have no one in our area to fix so they will refund our warranty money of $400. So I'm thinking that if we didn't have any problem with the tv they get free money but when you file a claim they don't want to pay for repairs so they give your money back. Sounds like a scam to me!

    After hours on the phone and refusing to take the warranty money back now they said we can take the tv to a serviceman 1 hour and 30 minutes away to have him look at it. It’s a 55 inch tv that I worry about driving it that far then having to go back to pick it up another day. When they sold us the warranty it wasn't stated that there was no way to get it fixed if there is a problem or we wouldn't have bought the warranty.

    I bought this TV on December 1, 2014 to watch Netflix and Amazon Prime Instant while on my treadmill. I researched its wifi and other capabilities as described on the Samsung site and it appeared to be just what I needed. Netflix started to freeze within a few days. I assumed it was my cable company. So we spent 2 months trying to work it out. I bought my own dual band router and modem. Same issue. I replaced it with a Vizio and it worked fine - on Comcast equipment as well as my own. Finally someone at Comcast said to contact the TV manufacturer. I did that on March 9th - after over 20 hours of troubleshooting with Comcast AND changing to AT&T Uverse. The Vizio could handle all the changes without a hiccup.

    On March 9th, we went through troubleshooting with Samsung. They took remote control and seemed to have fixed it. Within hours it was freezing and I had to unplug the TV to turn it off. After MANY repeat calls following the same ridiculous antics, they got me a service ticket. The company got it to run after replacing the motherboard and wifi card TWICE (Samsung's requirement) and within a few hours the smart hub was once again inaccessible. I called Samsung back and they wanted me to troubleshoot with them for hours again! Excuse me, but do I appear to be one of your techies? I don't remember getting a check!! So, they set up another service call.

    The service company, who remembered me and the issue asked if I was having the same issue. I told them 'yes' and he was baffled as to why Samsung would try to send me back to them when he had clearly described the issue as 'unfixable'. So I called back and they wanted to do the same troubleshooting again, saying they had to or it would not be escalated. OMG So I consented and they wanted to try to set up a service call. O.M.G! Samsung must train its support people with monkeys. Finally, someone got on the phone who said they're aware of this issue and they're working on it from their end and customers can only wait for the update. Well, they could have relayed this info months ago, emailing those who had registered their devices!!! In the meantime (4 months later) I am still without a functioning TV!

    That kind of customer service is deplorable. I am an investor and have told my advisor to take all my money out of Samsung. I am having towers build and none of it will be Samsung products. My reasoning? What if something goes wrong? I am not going to jump through hoops to get products that should work out of the box!!! Oh yeah - many times even more stupid things happened. For instance, I was transferred to a cell phone company instead of the remote management company!!!! Samsung quality is out the window. I tried to give the TV away. Not even my son could think of anyone who would want it.

    As many other owners have reported, I have had a disappointing experience with my 5 year old Samsung tv going black and then unable to turn back on. It was a $1300 purchase with extended warranty. Unfortunately the warranty was for 3 years. At this price & with the high ratings this product/company receives I anticipated many years of enjoyment. Despite a class action lawsuit for models prior to 2009, I, along with many others, find myself in a similar circumstance with a tv that doesn't work.

    Samsung would offer no assistance nor direct my call to their executive customer call center. As the first representative I spoke to recommended ticket number **. My family and I have purchased 4 Samsung tvs & e galaxy 4 phones. I feel I should have been afforded the opportunity to speak to management. The ratings on Samsung televisions appear to give those of us who end up with these products and faulty sense of security in purchasing what we expect to be a quality product with a company that stands behind their products.

    It is most probably the capacitor problem reported by others but on a fixed income & unable to make repairs as shown on other customers videos, I must purchase a new tv. Just to have service people out is a charge. Thoroughly disgusted, fearful our other newer televisions will have a similar problem, I think people should be made aware if this problem before purchasing.

    We purchased our Samsung Plasma Television December 5, 2013 as a Christmas gift to ourselves from Best Buy. The television stopped working yesterday after owning it for exactly 1 year and 3 months. The model number is PN64F8500AF. The television will not come on and makes a clicking noise every time the ON button is pushed. After reading some of these reviews, it sounds like it is either a power supply or capacitor issue. For a $3200 television to stop working after 15 months (3 months out of warranty) is completely ridiculous. We contacted Samsung by phone, and customer service was a total joke. It seems the corporate standard operating procedure is to repeatedly point out that the unit is no longer under warranty, and to offer to call you back within 24 hours and provide you with repair information. Needless to say, customer service never called back.

    If I had known that Samsung had such horrid QA/QC problems I would never have purchased this television. It's obvious that these power supply/capacitor problems are known to Samsung headquarters. And it's also completely obvious that they don't care about their customers. My advice to ALL future customers considering a Samsung television is to treat them like they have the plague and run in the opposite direction as fast as you can. DO NOT GIVE SAMSUNG one cent of your hard-earned money. If they aren't going to stand behind their products they deserve to go out of business. I will never buy another Samsung product, EVER.

Other weird problems which all seem to have been fixed via updates... TV would turn off on, Netflix would hang, motion control screen would appear. At first I thought maybe it was caused by someone close by with a Samsung or since there are so many networks so close, I was thinking it was being hacked...lately haven't had any other problems.

    My husband and I purchased a Samsung TV from Walmart in Dec 2013. First the TV would hesitate to power on. Over time it seemed that the delay would take longer each time until one day it just didn't turn on at all. 7 months after the purchase we took it back to Walmart and asked to exchange the TV. Walmart has a policy that they will only honor an exchange for 90 days. But after speaking to a manager, she happily made the exchange.

    We are both fans of Samsung products and believed it was a fluke incident, and even decided to upgrade the exchange by purchasing the bigger and better Samsung Smart TV Model # UN40EH5300F. I kid you not, but the SAME EXACT THING happened with this one and 7 MONTHS later we are without a TV again. Unfortunately I have misplaced the receipt for the exchange so I have gotten nowhere with Samsung Customer Service. Even though they are able to see the date that I purchased the item they are unwilling to honor my purchase without the receipt. Needless to say, this experience has not only disappointed us but we will no longer purchase another Samsung product and recommend that you don't either.

    Something very interesting -- Apparently this is a well-known issue with other Samsung TV Models (problems with the capacitors), but none of them that are listed/acknowledged by the company are LED models or begin with the UN model code. When I tried to click on a link to the settlement information, it is no longer is available and the screen is blank. I suggested to them, "Could there be a possibility that you are having the same capacitor issues with a model that is not listed?" and their reply to me was, "I understand how you feel. If there is a reported issue with the TV, it would be updated on the Samsung official site." Somehow, I doubt that.

I recommend everyone to do the same, as from all I've read and seen, this is a known problem and they don't care enough to do anything about it.

    I bought a Samsung Smart LED TV, and as soon as it approached finishing of warranty period, the video of the tv went off. The customer support team kept delaying in sending a service person. When finally the tv was checked by the service person, we were told that the LED panel was faulty and needs to be replaced. We're also told to incur the cost of it as the TV was no longer in the warranty period. Looking up on the internet we found many such cases. We regret buying the Samsung TV. There are many better brands out there, some much less expensive. We have now no trust in Samsung's quality or on their service. PLEASE DON'T BELIEVE SAMSUNG. SAMSUNG IS FRAUD. SAMSUNG TV? - A BIG NO TO ALL!!!

    We bought this 65" F7100 13 months ago and it has completely stopped working. Won't turn on and red light flashes. Youtube and forums suggest a bad capacitor, for which Samsung has faced a class action in the past for a similar problem! How can you spend this amount of money and the product stops working after 13 months? We use this TV less than 5-6 hours per week, not heavy usage by any standard. I would not recommend Samsung if you don't want to have to buy another TV after a year. SAMSUNG - you really need to respect your customers a little more by using more reliable parts!

    After contacting Samsung Customer Service for an issue regarding my TV's apparent inability to update its own software, I spent roughly 30 minutes on hold waiting for the person to "research" my problem. When they returned with nothing, I asked to speak to a higher level individual, who proceeded to ask me the exact same questions as the previous person. Sensing this was going nowhere, I turned to online chat for help. 2 separate times I was transferred to a "supervisor", which in actuality led to me being disconnected.

    Upon the third attempt, I got a hold of a real person, who provided me with a nonfunctional download link to the software update. They provided me with a second link, which miraculously worked, but when I went to apply the update, surprise, it didn't work. 3 hours later my problem remains unsolved. This is par for the course for my experience with Samsung, as I have quite a few issues with my TV, and have contacted them often, but have yet to have any of my issues be resolved by them. I repeatedly have to resort to my good friend Google, who often is significantly more helpful.

    55" Samsung 6150 series LED TV - I've loved this TV for a little over 3 years and it suddenly quit on me. Star Trek one moment, black screen the next. Standby light blinks a lot. Called 1-800-SAMSUNG and was forwarded to someone in a very loud customer service center where English was not the primary language and was told to make sure the TV was plugged in properly. After placating the guy through various ways to ensure the TV was getting power he then told me to remove the batteries from the remote and then reinsert them, press menu and go down to settings. I had to remind him that I had NO PICTURE AT ALL. He then told me there was nothing he could do and used my zip code to look up a number for a local independent repair shop.

    After a much longer amount of time than it took me to google "tv repair shop" he started telling me a phone number, the area code of which I recognized as being from two states away. So I just hung up. This may read like it happened quickly but I was on the phone for probably 20 minutes and was put on mute for extended periods of time (talking to someone else?) which made me have to ask if he was still there a couple times. Very poor service. That said, Samsung remains one of the producers of most impressive looking displays, but apparently at the expense of poor quality circuit boards and power supplies. I'd rather not buy another Samsung but if I do I'll purchase the most extended warranty I can afford.

    I bought a brand new 60 inch LED TV. We don't use it much, maybe 2-3 hours per day. Suddenly it started acting weird, power off and on by itself, just for few seconds. Called Samsung but they said it was 6 months out of warranty, so they cannot help. I did not expect the $1500 TV has that short life. From now on, I will avoid Samsung at any cost. No more Samsung for me and family!!!

    Has anyone had trouble with their screen having a brief flash of light or glitch on the bottom of the picture? Just started. I have had the TV 2 years. Samsung says it's my problem now.
