We purchased a Samsung television on April 18, 2018. It died May 21, 2018. Best Buy would not return the unit so we filed a claim with Samsung. They came out and said that it was not repairable and that the televisions were not even suppose to be sold as they were all defective anyway. So anyway, I called and filed a claim and explained that I have not heard anything since May 21 when I spoke with Brandon. I explained that this was my 84 year old disabled mother's tv and that it was all she had that I would do whatever it takes to make this process go through as quick as possible.
Since then I have called Samsung 2 times with no updated information. After so long, we finally purchased my mom another television since it has been well over the 22 day processing time. I called today to complain to Samsung and request a refund for the first television as my repair person said was possible. I spent $1200 on the new unit and didn't need the Samsung that broke in 31 days any longer. Samsung refuses my refund and is going to send me the same model tv in exchange! I don't want another tv! But I guess we don't have a choice. I am so sickened that Samsung took advantage of my 84 year old disabled mom. How sick is that! I will never buy Samsung again and will direct EVERYONE I know away from them. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

I bought a Samsung TV model UN55J620D, just over 2 years ago and the audio still worked, but the screen died. Went to a Samsung Service Center and it cost as much to fix the TV as I paid for it, so I will no longer be buying any Samsung Products. I looked at Samsung TV blogs and it is shocking how many people are having the exact same issue with the screen going black permanently.

Every single Samsung product I've ever purchased had audio problems without exception. I've used to buy Samsung TVs but they were either returned or had to be repaired due to audio drops and capacitor problems. The very last Samsung TV I ever bought in 2016 within a month had to have the motherboard change due to audio. I had a couple of Samsung cell phones. All of them had audio problems even the replacement sent had audio problem. Samsung tablet had audio problems as well. So buyer beware!! If you buy a Samsung product make sure you buy an extended warranty because the audio will eventually fail without a doubt not to mention the plethora of other failure and quality issues of Samsung products as well!??

I purchased this Samsung 55 inch UHD TV (Curved)in Oct 2016 for my husband's birthday. We have had the TV for 1 1/2 yrs and the picture turned fuzzy then went black. Since I did not purchase the extended warranty I called Samsung to see what could be done - since there was no extended warranty I would have to pay to repair it. I paid almost $1,000 for this TV and do not feel that I should have to pay to have it repaired after only 1 1/2 years of service. I will definitely not buy another Samsung product or TV.

After having called Samsung customer service every day for 2 weeks straight, I will never purchase ANY Samsung product ever again. I have a 75" J6300 Series that I purchased 15 months ago with a 3-year extended warranty that I purchased directly thru Samsung on their website. Four weeks ago, when I turned the set on, there was no sound or picture with a code of "6" on the status LED. Since that time, I've been on the phone every day with Samsung and was told they are not responsible and to contact my extended warranty company.
I discovered that although I purchased the extended warranty thru Samsung, the actual contract is with a company called Alliant. The customer support is the worst I've ever encountered as the phone #'s that I was given by customer service for the extended warranty company are either the wrong departments, or #'s that are constantly busy. Due to the lack of support from Samsung customer service I will never purchase any Samsung product again. I intend to share this experience with friends and relatives.

I bought this TV, November 27, 2015 and didn't receive it until December. 2.5 years later the display panel has gone out. I contacted Samsung and they gave me the name of a service center to take it and to make a long story short, it cost more to fix it than I paid for it. (1400.00) They told me that they would make a recommendation and for to call the service center to see what it was. Guess what, they are not helping with the part at all. They want the service center to give me a discount. Well, I want everyone to know that they have helped others when their TV was 3 years old. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER SAMSUNG AGAIN...

We loved this TV (6500 series) when it worked. But when you spend more than $3,000 for a TV, you expect it to last more than 22 months without a $2,400 repair. We were watching TV recently and it just died. The repairman says the repair is $2,400. We'll never buy another Samsung TV.

My Samsung TV has a great picture, I get compliments all the time. It is a 47" TV and is the perfect size. The only problem I have is the smart TV side of it. It doesn't have access to some apps like Amazon Prime so I have to use a second device to access my account. In all, I really enjoy my TV. It looks great and performs as advertised.

I purchased a 48 inch Samsung television. It is 4k technology and it was on sale as a floor model at Best Buy. I paid about the same price as I did for my 60 inch Sharp HD LED tv. Two years have passed. I still am often struck by how real this television is - especially when the show was shot with 4k technology. But it is not necessary to have the film in 4k because many older shows also display very nicely on this tv. I also have a big screen Visio. There is no shortage of technology in my house, but I put the Samsung in my bedroom. Now, I watch TV exclusively in there.
The other televisions look washed out by comparison. I do not have a sound system or a sound bar on the Samsung, but sometimes, I am surprised to hear background noises in the background. The "fake" surround sound is also very good on this tv. I highly recommend this product. I have 3 televisions, but only my Samsung provides the brilliance and the feel as if I am at the scene that I am watching. I have to be careful that I don't watch a program where people are on a boat lest I get seasick. Seriously.

Purchased NEW SAMSUNG QN75Q7FNAFX Television from the Military Exchange. Took sixteen days for it to arrive. Unpackaged the box and hung the television on the wall. Plug it in and pressed the on button and nothing happened. Tried several of the buttons on the remote. Screen stayed blank. Started a text customer service ticket and lost the connection when the text requested I go and unplug the One Connect box.
Called back on the customer service line. Representative was very helpful, however he was unable to get the television screen to power on. He explained that he would put in a request for a new One Connect cable and that would fix the problem however it would take 5 to 14 business days. I question why it would take so long. He explained that it has to go through several people. I explain that this was a brand new TV out of the box and now it was a several thousand dollar brick hanging on my wall, it should not take 5 to 14 days for me to get the wire. He explained that it was out of his hands. Now three day later on a Saturday I get a telephone message from Samsung customer service requesting I call them back with further information.
I call and I'm now being told that the request has not been processed as of yet because they need a copy of my purchase receipt. I question why that would be necessary. I registered the TV online the day after I installed it and the fact that it is brand new and I was told several days ago that the part was going to be sent and now they want a copy of a purchase receipt. After going back and forth with the CS rep I ask how long before they send me the cable that is supposed to fix my brand new television and he tells me 5 to 14 business days. So now I'm already three days in with a several thousand dollar Brick on my living room wall and it's still going to take 5 to 14 days to get a wire that they say will fix the television all based on a telephone conversation.
I asked what happens if this cable does not fix the television, there was silence and was then told it will. This is the worst customer service I have ever seen. I can order from Amazon and get it in two days but it is going to take Samsung 5 to 14 days plus the three that have already passed to get me the part that is supposed to fix their BRAND NEW TELEVISION.

This is the most wonderful TV: it is Samsung Smart TV, with a beautiful picture clarity and gorgeous color. I feel like the shows are happening right in the room and I only have one tiny complaint. I have a hearing loss in both ears and wear hearing aids. Because so many of my favorites shows employ actors with those wonderful accents AND have background music that drowns them out... I usually use headphones... which solve the problem. Until I got this TV, which is Bluetooth, and found that you can not have more than one headset in use. So I can wear my headphones and enjoy my wonderful Samsung TV sound, but my husband can not hear it. No sound through the speakers and no way to use a second headphone... bummer, but I think a hearing family would love it!

So I contacted Samsung and was on the phone with the lady for about 45 mins disconnecting and connecting HDMI and everything and still it was no sound so they recommended me call Panasonic because it's a Panasonic system, well about 10 - 15 mins later there's an internal black and color marking on the screen and they tell me it's physically damage and not covered by warranty. When I called this morning... one it wasn't picking recognizing HDMI in the arc then this happens. It was an issue with the tv not to mention the system works with my tv upstairs.

I bought a Samsung TV for 2017 Thanksgiving weekend and going through Horrible troubles from Samsung TV. I thought my experience would be useful for others while making decision hence writing what I am going through. We bought TV from Costco where we had 90 days return guarantee, meaning I can return without hesitation within 90 days. This TV started showing wireless connectivity and connecting to external peripherals like HDMI almost starting day 1. While all other devices including my 8 years old Sony TV works on wireless without any issues this days old new Samsung TV having problem all the way. Unfortunately I took some leisure having confidence that either Samsung or Costco would help if there is real issue and didn't return within 90 days. This is where my biggest mistake is and all my trouble started here.
After 93 days I got some free time. Wanted to fix the technical problem or get help from Samsung/Costco. I keep calling both Costco concierge and Samsung. They go through basic diagnostic steps. Sometimes it work for a while and then the problems show up again. This continued for 4 weeks and at last Samsung agreed to send some service representative. The service representative came and changed the main board and also the wifi module. It did work for about 6 weeks and started showing the same problem again. Called again Costco and Samsung, again the drama repeats. This time Samsung set up a service and they cancelled also automatically for the reason I didn't lift the phone once.
I am really not getting, is it fun calling them every time and speak about 20-30 mins going through same basic diagnostic steps. Certainly devices are not built this sensitive but unfortunately if this happens for a device or two why don't they give proper solution?? Why I had to call them these many times?? Moreover the Samsung representatives first give warning saying, "If it is not our problem we would charge for the service"... Why don't they understand my basic response I don't have problem with any other device that are connected to the same internet?? This could be some wiring problem or could be anything else. Samsung/Costco giving unbearable trouble for the trust I had on them... Got be very careful with Samsung. I never encountered this kind of customer service from anybody before. Got be very careful while buying things from Samsung guys.

I called last week in regards to my Samsung 55' TV. The TV is not even 5 years old and last night my daughter and I were watching TV and all of a sudden it sounded like a firecracker went off, the screen went black and there was only sound. So I called tech support for Samsung and they stated they never heard of this (but yet you google this problem and it seems to be a common problem with their TV's). So they gave my information to service and service followed up this morning. I was told there would be a fee of $110 (Part of this will go to the repair in the event it could be repaired, if not I am out of $110.00!). I cannot afford this fee plus additional fees to fix the problem, I also can't afford a new TV! I bought your brand because it was a well known brand that I could trust and thought it was something that would last more than 5 years!!! I am so aggravated with them!!!

On Mother's Day, Sunday, May 13, the TV had sound but no picture. We were waiting for the Yankee game to come back on after a rain delay. After no picture on the TV in the family room everyone left. We tried to troubleshoot the problem. After looking up the problem on Google search, we realized that we were not the only ones with the problem. There were dozens of incidents where the picture ceased to exist. Now we are forced less than three years after purchasing this Samsung 46 inch LED smart TV for $700 to purchase another TV. We only use the remote on the TV. We don't move the TV. I don't understand… It was a huge expense for us at the time to purchase this TV and it lasted less than three years.

Paid almost $3,000 for Samsung 4k Smart TV a little over 3 years ago and the screen just went out. After determining it could not be fixed via troubleshooting, I was directed to a service center.

My Complaint. On Monday April 2nd 2018 I called in to your customer service line (800-Samsung) for some assistance with my 65” 4K television. After a few qualifying questions were asked to make sure I was still under warranty I explained the situation. My wife and I were watching television when we heard a pop followed by horizontal and vertical lines along the left hand side and the bottom to our television. Seemed odd and we both looked at each other in shock. We both take very good care of our things as we tend to buy high quality items. After explaining that to the customer service representative on the phone we went through some troubleshooting exercises that did not work. They then advised us that they will be sending out a technician to assess the issues further. The Technician arrive on April 3rd and assessed the television.
He stated and I quote “I am not sure how that happened. It does not appear to be any physical signs that would cause it to do that”. I replied, "It should not, as we always take care of our things." He then said “I will take some pictures and send them to Samsung for approval”. A few days go by and I called for an update. I was told that the television was physically damaged by your customer service representative. I ask, how can you tell it has physical damage? I was told that, "The pictures were reviewed by our warranty department and deemed it was physical damage." I explained the conversation I had with the technician and that he even stated it was odd damage and could not explain how it could have happen. I was asked, "Did he write that anywhere." I said no, because he did not. Had I known I needed to record the technician I would have.
Nevertheless, I asked to speak to someone in the Executive Customer Relations department as advised by the technician. I was told NO. I was surprised as I did not think it was common practice to tell a customer NO. After some jousting back and forth, about 10 minutes of it, I was finally transferred to a supervisor. This is when customer service was thrown completely out the window. I hope the conversation was recorded as this person should not be representing your company. After another 10 minute altercation finally transferred to the Executive Customer Relations line. The person I spoke with made me feel like she was listening to me and was to do some research on her end and call me back. I am still waiting for that call. About a week later I called back and was transferred promptly this time. Spoke to a young man that instilled some small hope back in your company.
He was to set up for a second technician to come out for a second opinion. I received a call that day for someone to come out. While on the phone the caller realized that they had already sent someone out to see me. Apparently, this was the same company from the first time. She said, "I will need to call you back." I’m also still waiting on that call. Fast-forward to today. This was the icing on the cake. Spoke to a gentleman in ECR that allowed me to vent and told me that my case number (**) was closed even though I never got my second opinion. I asked for a supervisor and Christen (Employee # **) got on the phone. His first question was “How can I help you?” I asked, "Were you not informed about why I was transferred to you." He answered, "Yes I know all about it", so I asked, "Why ask how can you help me when you know the situation."
Knowing he was unable to help me and asked for his supervisor. He states she does not take calls. I asked for her name and he states he cannot provide that information. Needless to say I was completely lost for words and disgusted by the people that are representing your brand. Now instead of dealing with that supervisor I have wasted my time and yours with this letter. I myself work in the customer service field and quite often have to deal with conversations very similar to this one and I understand the levity of the situations and consequences my words have. That statement “warranty deemed it was physical damage” was eye opening. Numerous times I clearly stated that there was no physical damage nor did my wife or I physically abused this product. As a customer it was a slap in my face that what I say does not matter.
A customer that has spent over $30,000 or more in the last 5 years on Samsung products cannot be taken at his word over a $2000 65” 4K television. To put it in context, we are talking about .06% of the already spent dollars. Needless to say the dollars I would have spent in the future. If I were just treated with good customer service time, effort, and brand loyalty could have been saved. That’s of course if that matters to your company. I deal with about 10 to 15 situations like this on a monthly basis and for me the decision is easy. The customer is always right to a point. Moreover, the “repeat” customer is always right. Especially if the fix is .06% or less of their lifetime spend to date. I am happy to provide proof of the items I have.
Normally, in my personal life I don’t write bad reviews or make a big stink about things that I feel can be done better from the standpoint of customer service, but this one I cannot let go. I ask that you please look into this case to help me understand why it has come to this point. I’m not looking for anything more than just someone in your organization to do the right thing for a customer.

Nov. 1, 2017, my husband bought a 55in tv, from Best Buy. It broke four months later. Well under warranty. He arranged for it be repaired with Samsung, but we didn't hear anything back on the repair ticket, and the phone number we were given for it was a bad number. I called towards the beginning of April and was told the original repair had been canceled by Samsung, but no one could tell me why. We discussed option and was told that there could be an 'onsite' exchange done, meaning at our house. I asked what would happen if the same make and model was not available and was told we would be given an offer for an upgraded make/model. We waited again for the onsite exchange request to go through, was given another email with a ticket number that showed no progress and another bad telephone number.
I started calling again last week to see what the progress is and am told that they would only do an onsite exchange with a refurbished model. No one explained why the upgrade offer was no longer an option. Yes, I tried asking. Was told that the case was being expedited and that if I hadn't heard anything by Monday, to call back. We did not receive any calls.
I call Tuesday and am told that I should do an in-store exchange if I want a new tv. I ask what happens if they don't have the TV in store, and they say we will just be given store credit for what we paid for it. My husband bought the TV on-sale and it lasted only 4 months. Samsung canceled the repair without letting us know. They took away the upgrade offer without saying why. They claim that only a refurbished unit is available to do an exchange at our house. This has been going on for two months. I am sorry, but if I treated customers that poorly in my job, I'd be fired. So far, Samsung is saying they would not help cover the cost difference, if the only option is store credit. The TV is under warranty. It worked for four months. I thought Samsung was better than this.

I have been a loyal Samsung TV customer for several years now (over 16 years). About 16 years ago when I was debating replacing my main TV in the family room I was going to get a Sony until I did my research and realized the technology, quality and value surpassed every other brand I researched. I have been a Samsung customer ever since then. Now it seems that everyone else gets it too. Samsung stays far ahead of its closest competitors in technology, quality and innovative features. Although, LG is becoming pretty impressive to me lately too (they are my second brand of choice). The available apps and hub on my Samsung TVs are the most comprehensive and user friendly and have been for years and the rest of the world is finally catching up.

No complaints about the TV. However, twice I have called for assistance with the settings on my TV. I think I got the same man each time. He is arrogant and downright snotty, not a whole lot of help. He gives out instructions too fast, gets impatient very easily, blames the customer if something doesn't work right. I finally figured out there is a slow response time on the tv when you are changing settings, but he wasn't allowing for that, and kept saying "Don't you see...?" I didn't see what he said should be on the screen, so he said I did something wrong and would have me start that part of the process over. The whole process would have been over a lot quicker if he had slowed down. Allowing me to keep up, not rushing me, and allowing a little extra time for each step for the tv to keep up. Although we finally got it worked out, it was a very frustrating experience. Twice!

I bought my Samsung 49 Mu8000 on Feb 20th 2018. On April 8th 2018 I moved into a new apartment. I kept the box and all the original packaging so when I moved, the TV would be safe. After moving into my new apartment I went to set the TV up. Pulled it out of the box, sat it on the bed (which is a memory foam mattress so it's super soft) and put the legs on. As I picked the TV up to place it on the stand, I heard a snapping sound.
Sure enough it was the top right corner of my screen. I called Samsung and of course I wasn't covered under warranty. And the repair cost would be $700+. I paid $800 for the TV itself. It's completely and utterly ridiculous that a screen can break from me simply picking it. What's even more ridiculous is the fact this company wants to charge me $650 for a new panel. It wasn't dropped. Nothing hit it... I've had nothing but issues with Samsung products lately. But this will be the last one. Because I will never buy anything with that company’s logo again.

We bought the 65” curved TV in late Nov 2017 and it’s now April 1st, but March is when we submitted the claim about the left side of the screen messing up. They sent out a third party company to look at the damage. The lady at this third party said that they just come out, take pictures, and then they submit it to Samsung. She also said, before knowing anything about the situation that “it sounds like physical damage.” Sure enough, their guy came out and was not at our house even five minutes and took a few photos and left. We get a call from their office a few days later that said “we submitted the photos to Samsung and they claimed physical damage but sometimes you can call and complain and they’ll change their mind.”
When I blasted Samsung on Twitter they claimed it was this third party’s tech that determined it was physical damage. Our TV has NO DAMAGE. We have flat screens that are over 7 years old and this has never happened. This was a waste of $1k! They are a scam of a company. I included photos of the TV.

When trying to turn it back on there was a crack in the screen not on the outside an internal crack which is what it looked like no picture at all.
We took it to the Best Buy in Ft. Myers and spoke with the Supervisor. Rommel ** is the Home Theater Supervisor. I explained everything that happen. Showed him my receipt and had pictures also that I took of the TV. I told him to plug the TV in so he could see. Once he plugged it in and saw the internal crack he told me and my husband that we did that to the TV that they were very fragile. I explained we were just watching it and he continued to tell us we had to do it. He then offered us a 30 percent off and another new TV.
He also told us we only had 14 days to return the product. I just said we wouldn't be buying anything from Best Buy again. We just bought this TV. I couldn't believe how rude I was treated. So please think before buying anything. I called corporate office and they took my information down and told me to contact General Manager. I contacted General Manager today Robert **. They tell me he is on vacation and there is no one taking his place. Then I asked to speak with the District Manager and was told they are not allowed to give that number out. In the meantime we had already issued a ticket with Samsung but the technician told us Samsung doesn't cover internal or external cracks and if he came out he would have to charge us. I have had Samsung TV in the past but now I wouldn't buy another. Very disappointed. They don't honor their warranty. I guess no TV and we are out all that money.

We got the screen on the 3rd of Feb from downtown store & I’ve examined it at the store & we ship it in the car & was advised from the salesman who refused to ship the screen throw the store & insisted to ship it myself after assuring that it's well wrapped & assure it doesn’t need any special shipping method. When I went home & took the screen from the box I found I big black spot on the left side of the screen & here it all the disaster started.
I called the call center & promised me with a call back at night from a technician & that happened two days later & asked me to send him a pic of the screen while it’s on & the serial number & I did & of course no reply. On the second day I got a call from the call center asking if the technician called back & advised that it’s an internal crack in the screen & it’s what causing the black spot & it would cost me 11K to get it fixed as any crack out of warranty. What happened is a misuse from my end 'cause of the shipping. On the second day I went to the store with the TV & they advised that they can’t help as they only a selling store & advised either to go to the warranty warehouse or to call the call center so I want to warehouse & they refused to help & said we can’t take any screen bigger than 32 inch as it can be broken & advised to call the call center to arrange a home visit or it talk to them over the phone & only advised it’s a misuse.
Here stared the contradiction & the call center manager that I asked to talk to advised this time that transportation should 'cause any damage & when the home visit technician came to the house do you have advised that this kind of screen specially the curved one needs a special shipping condition& technician who can assemble the screen at home and later I found out that the screen especially has a lot of problem as was mentioned in more than page on the social media and it's very fragile and a lot of people complaining about the same model especially #Samsung #tvsamsung.

On Dec 3rd, one day before delivery, a message from AGS company (Associated Global Systems, the shipment company for Samsung) was received notifying us about a delay on shipment and request scheduling a new delivery date online. So we set it up for Dec 9th. But no one showed up. When we called scheduling number (that is AGS), they said they are still searching for the missing TV and online scheduling for Dec 9th wouldn't help until they actually find it, and promised to give a call when found.
On Jan 4th to our surprise, we've received a message from Samsung this time, congratulating us for having our TV delivered. Of course nothing was there. So we called Samsung, asked for an investigation for our undelivered TV showing delivered. Then starting from Jan we asked for refund. At almost every two weeks, we kept on calling and calling. The initial response was like, until AGS return TV to Samsung's stocks, they can not refund. I said, "I purchased directly from Samsung, and my TV has not been delivered in two months. So problems, miscommunication whatever with your shipper AGS is not my concern".
Call center representatives said they cannot do anything on this, but just request expediting investigation. On Feb 8th, finally Samsung decided to start the refund process, but I was asked to be patient for another 15 days. Now today, Mar 2nd, almost a month later, at my last call, I was told that refund process is on the way, and refund order has already been given by Samsung, and it is now under the control of the Credit Card company. So hopefully I may get my refund soon? In short, for an undelivered TV, after numerous calls for three and half months, our refund is yet still waiting. What a sucking experience.

The main and focus of the Samsung warranty is against the public interest as to the fact Samsung has failed to legally provide a technical sales or support person to physically see the product to determine the actually cause of the damaged product. A picture has no proof of the physical damage you state and the refusal to warranty a product based on this is not proper to a customer who spent money on a product of Samsung. This is your caution to amend this and your warning of pending civil litigation against you. Please forward this to your legal department.

We purchased 2-55" Samsung TVs directly from Samsung. Not even 4 months old the tv went black and would not work. I called stayed on hold for 5 min then was transferred to their tech. which it took 20 min for him to confirm over the phone what I had explained prior. No problem, they have a repair shop close by he said. They will contact me back with a date. I got an email with confirmation. Then I got an email a few days later saying the ticket was being closed.
I called and waited on hold 22 min to ask when I was going to get this resolved. I was told no one was coming because the repair shop they THOUGHT was close by was nonexistent at this time. I got transferred to another department where she asked if I wanted to get a refund or the tv replaced. I opted for the replacement. I was told they need 5 business days to process the claim and will get back with me. 9 business days later I dont hear from them and call back. I give them the ticket number to see what the status is. I was told the claim has been approved. Great! Now I have to wait 14 more business days for the return process MAYBE less. I would submit the receipt but I am not allowed by the company that I purchased them for.

I purchased a Samsung LED TV model UN60F6300AF in 2013. It was dead-on-arrival, that is when I powered it on it would cycle on/off over and over sometimes would stay on 5 minutes, 30 minutes, a few hours. Samsung had a repairman come out and replace both motherboards. It has worked fine until about 3 months ago. Started doing the same thing. I slap the back of the tv and it will stay on again 5 minutes, 30 or even hours. Since I've seen class action lawsuits on this type of problem I would have thought they would want to help. Nope. Told me to use a repair shop. Even gave me a phone number and that shop was out of business.
I did call a tv repair place and they told me it would be $95 an hour plus $200 to $300 per board so I'm looking at $700 to fix a TV that cost me $1500. So I will not be buying Samsung products anymore. I need to figure out who makes a good quality smart TV and will stand behind the product. I should not have to buy a 5-year parts/repair insurance policy.

I bought a Samsung smart curved T.V. at Costco 10 months ago. Model # un55ku650d. Version # FA01. My story is similar to all the other reviews I'm reading. I noticed a crack on the inside of the screen, but I was still able to see most of the picture. Now a month later, I have no picture at all. Customer service said it was physical damage, after telling me to unplug and plug back in. They said warranty does not cover physical damage. They didn't even send someone out to look at it. Telling me I need a new screen panel that would cost more than what I paid for the T.V. How disappointing! I usually read customer reviews before purchasing a product. I didn't this time???

And he said they can't fixed it... So my question was is it my fault that the TV was not working?
I paid $800 plus tax on that TV and they won't fix it? Why are this Samsung company don't do anything... I don't care if I bought it for $150 but it's $888.00 that I paid. It a hard earned money.

I bought a 55 inch curved 4K TV on 7/1/2017. On 12/29/2017 I was watching my TV at 3:30 PM and had to leave to pick my wife up from work. I arrived home approximately at 4:50 PM and immediately turned on my TV. I immediately noticed a crack on my screen. I then called Samsung customer service to explain the situation. The only thing they were concerned with was if it was physical damage. I told them that nothing happened on our part to cause any physical damage. It was fine an hour and a half earlier. They kept asking over and over if there was physical damage. The only damage could have been caused by a manufacturer's defect.
I couldn't get anywhere with their customer support on the phone. So I got on their website and did a live chat with a lady named Sarbita **. She had me send a picture of the line on my TV to livechat@sea.samsung.com. She then proceed to send me a link for a service technician to set up an appointment, and that it would take a few days to be contacted.
On 1/2/2018 I received a phone call from a man named Schelumiel from Samsung. He explained to me that everything would be taken care of and he kept repeating this to me. I asked him since this phone call was recorded if I could get a copy of the conversation. He said that I could get a copy and gave me a reference number for our conversation. He then said I had to call 1-800-726-7864 to get my appointment set up. So I called this number and a man named Jose answered the phone. I said that Schelumiel to me to call to get a service appointment set up. This man was so unprofessional and argumentative. After he wouldn't set up the service appointment, I asked for a Manager. I was then put on hold and no one came back to the phone.
I have since researched Samsung and how they service their warranties. They are many complaints on Yelp.com, Twitter.com, ConsumerAffairs.com, and many other websites. This company sells billions of dollars worth of equipment in the USA, but they do not stand behind their warranties. The United States government needs to investigate Samsung's business practices. I have never ever dealt with a company that is this incompetent. Now I have a 5 month old TV that I spent $768 on, and it has a white line on the screen. I live on a fixed income and can't afford to buy another TV, but that isn't the point, the point is they need to honor their warranties.
Updated on 01/19/2018: I supposedly got an appointment for a repairman to come out to look at my TV. I received an email saying my repair ticket has been cancelled. With no explanation. This company just plays games with customers. They have no intention of fixing their broken products. I have since contacted the Attorney General of Iowa to file a complaint. Which I recommend everyone do if they feel ripped off.

My Samsung Smart TV has been great for the past 3 years until this last week. All of the sudden my tv would just shut off by itself. Then it would be fine and now I am not able to watch more than 15 minutes of television until it turns off and on and sometimes I am not able to turn off the television! I called Samsung support and we reset my settings and that didn't work so they gave me contact information for a repair company. This was an expensive purchase and to have it in need of repairs after 3 years is just wrong. After researching this issue, it appears that millions of other Samsung Smart TV's have the same issue, how can this be going on for years without resolution? There was a class action suit that occurred in 2012 with no end in sight. Samsung should be ashamed for selling such an inferior product and keeping it quiet. I will never buy another Samsung TV and suggest you don't either unless you want the same fate!

75" TV model UN75JU6500F - I purchase this TV new 1.5 years ago. The TV worked great until all of sudden a blue vertical line towards the left side of the screen appeared. Samsung would not provide any support since the TV was over a year old and out of warranty. I spent $3109 for this TV new. I called the service technician that Samsung put me in touch with. Service technician stated I need a new panel (screen) and that repair cost way more than a new replacement. So a huge disappointment with Samsung that I spent over $3100 on a TV with a well known brand only to be deeply disappointed in just a year and half!
I have lost my faith in Samsung. Samsung knows these issues come up and should provide better support. When I called the 800 number I get a foreigner from overseas (more frustration) who provided no assistance since this TV is outside the warranty. I'll switch now to a different brand such as Sony or LG. Hopefully better luck. In addition I've learned when making a large purchase such as, buy the extended warranty!

Purchased a new 49 inch 4K UHD TV from Best Buy. This TV is advertised as a smart TV that requires WiFi link to operate. In comparison with a 2011 Samsung D5003 series, the tuner on the new TV is unable to identify all the available over the air channels. The WiFi connection draws a weaker signal than does a Sony Blu Ray and a Dell laptop located in the same room. The ability to access the smart functions of the new tv is complex and time consuming.
Therefore, I have had to sever the "smart" part of the TV and must go into another room to watch the channels that the new TV does not recognize, I must use the laptop to stream programming from Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu so there are no interruptions in the WiFi signal, and I must connect the Blu Ray and laptop by HDMI directly into the TV because the TV does not play well with my Sony receiver thru the HDMI (ACR) route two ways. The TV picture is beautiful but the remote is not easy to use. I would recommend testing a TV before purchase to determine if the tuner is up to your standards for the channels that you wish to receive. I would not spend the money for the "smart" features and rely on better quality methods for streaming.

Our experience with Samsung has been an absolute nightmare! Our 65” Samsung TV was good for 2 years and 1 month and then the base snapped in the middle of the night. I spoke with Costco’s customer service and was told the warranty with Costco had expired 30 days prior. I then called Samsung and was told since this was not my fault a one-time accommodation would be made. If only it had been that simple! I’ve gotten nothing but the run-around since that time. A ticket was issued for the repair. When the repair company called, I was told they needed a Panel Approval and a Psychical Damage SAW. After several attempts, these documents were not issued. Samsung said they no longer do this, but we ended up getting over this hump. Then, we were told service was not available in our area. This ticket kept somehow getting reissued and the repair company kept calling with the same information.
After going through that process several times and being told nothing could be done, I sent a complaint to their corporate office. Someone from the “Office of the President” called me, and after jumping through hoops I was given the option of an exchange or a pro-rated refund. We chose to exchange the TV. Weeks passed and someone called only to tell me this would not be exchanged because the warranty had expired. I followed up with the rep I had previously worked with and he told me I could pay to have the TV repaired and then I would be reimbursed.
This is an extremely condensed version of everything we’ve dealt with during this process. Considering the pathetic customer service we’ve received so far, I’m not willing to take a chance on paying for a repair when we could purchase a new TV for the same price. I am sure this reimbursement would never be issued. I asked to speak with this associate’s supervisor and was told he didn’t have a supervisor.
I can't tell you the hours I have wasted trying to resolve this issue. I can tell you that I originally contacted Samsung on 8/15/2017 and the last response from the above-mentioned associate was on 9/27/2017. I had to start the process over several times, explaining all the details, and had numerous setbacks. I went back and forth with someone telling me they would solve this problem, only for the next associate to tell me it was in my hands. I can assure you, I will never purchase another Samsung product!!! I can only be thankful that this TV didn’t land on someone when it snapped!

Samsung customer service really sucks the big one. My £999.00 55” curved HDTV had problems right from day 1. Finally refused to turn on after 7 months of little use and also took my PS4 HDMI controller chip with it (£150 to repair). Samsung sent a repair shop to collect it in a dirty old van. Turned out mainboard & LED screen needed replacing. After the mainboard was replaced it again failed on test in the shop and needed replacing again. After contacting Samsung and telling them I didnt want this piece of tat back as it was obviously a dud from day one and I was worried it may go on fire in my home, I was threatened that if I didnt allow them to return it they would scrap it for parts.
The “customer support” girl constantly spoke over me during the convo and said there was nothing in the file about my tv requiring 3 new mainboards which was a blatant lie as only the day before another rep read out the whole list of convos I had during many hour+ long calls at my expense. She was downright rude and ended up putting the phone down on me as I wouldnt accept the tv back. I WOULD NEVER BUY A SAMSUNG PRODUCT AGAIN AND URGE ALL READERS TO AVOID AVOID AVOID. They are excellent tvs when working and I did love it while it lasted but once it goes wrong their customer service is diabolical, 7 days for a callback to be told she needed to call the service shop which would take another 5 working days (from Friday that means 7). I rang them 3 times and it took 10 minutes. And REALLY should a £1000 tv fail after such a short period??? Buy a Panasonic or an LG.

When the screen started with sudden increase in darkness to vertical lines, then minor crack, then horizontal and vertical crack… Then totally stopped working! This happened within few weeks and I had a month left in warranty! We moved the TV from one location to another… That’s all happened in those 2 weeks. There is not scratch or dents or any visible marks on top layer of the screen.
Even to a stage to request a in-home visit, it took 2 phone service requests, one online request and then 2 calls to discuss the details it took 2 weeks of stressful time. Without even checking the any logs or opening up the TV, on call support staff started blaming me and they said it me who was responsible and this is not a manufacturer defect. After multiple escalation they agreed to send a technician to home visit. Then got a from local technician and then home visit...
The representative came. Asked the “story” of the what happened… He turned the TV on and took a picture and said it’s not a manufacturer defect. The internal screen is broken… It happens only due to the negligence the owners not Samsung. He told if my story was reasonable and falls into Samsung warranty categories only then they can replace the screen… Asked me to rethink and the story! He said that twice. I said I’m telling you what happened the way it is. He it would cost 900-1300$ and a Samsung representative will call me in next 24hrs and tell me the details.
So far this has been such a frustrating experience after spending 1300$.

I bought this Samsung 65 inch Smart TV from Costco 3 years ago. Similar to other complaints I've seen on this site and others my TV developed a problem where the screen goes out and then alternates between off and on. The problem has gotten progressively worse to the point where it takes me over 15 minutes to get it to work (for a while). Once I get a picture, if I change volume it blanks out and goes to on/off mode again. I called the tech support group and tried all the remedies suggested: Removing all devices other than DTV connection, plugging power plug directly into wall and by-passing surge protector, restoring setting to factory settings. Nothing fixed problem.
Two days later a CS rep gave me a call to set up a service tech. She made me aware that my TV was out of warranty protection (<3 years old). When she told me total cost of repair could exceed $600 I decided that it’s better to buy a new TV than invest more in this junk. I've been watching my 20 year old, regularly used, RCA for the past few days. I've never need to service it or any other TV’s I've owned for over 6 years. I will never buy another Samsung TV again. Unfortunately I bought two for my children in the past year. Fortunately one was bought within the last 90 days from Costco, so I will be returning it to avoid apparent similar planned obsolescence issues.

Since every function of the TV goes through the One Connect box, it is the TV's brain, the TV does not function at all. It turns on but nothing functions, no Netflix, no internet, no tv, no Hulu, nothing can work if the One Connect box breaks.
However, the warranty department has been the most frustrating experience of all. I have been repeatedly promised that a new One Connect box was being shipped to me and yet it never arrived. I even had a supervisor promise that the One Connect box would arrive by last Monday and that he would give me a call to verify that it arrived.

This can be when watching Netflix or having it connected to just an antenna (I do not have cable). I have called Samsung on 4 different occasions. They have did their troubleshooting twice (they only show a record of once). I have tried to get someone out to fix it but they will not send anyone until they troubleshoot it once again. They have also told me if they send out a repairman and the tv does not act up then I will be charged. I have informed them that I have a video that shows exactly what the tv is doing. I had a representative tell me if I file a claim online with Samsung then they cannot charge me. So I filed a claim online. I was sent a email stating someone would be back with me within 24 hours. That did not happen. I had to send another email stating no one has gotten a hold of me yet. That was when someone finally called me.
Was on the phone with Samsung for almost 30 minutes on 11/2/17. They state they need to troubleshoot the problem again. I then asked for a manager, after being on hold for about 15 minutes a manager (Noj) came on the line. He stated they had to troubleshoot it again. I told him I just want it fixed. He stated there would be a charge if the repairman came out and could not find anything wrong. I explained that is not what the last guy told me. So basically they are now going to send me a new power cord. He said it takes up to 14 days to get it. But he will try and put a rush on it.
If I would not have bought this TV off of Amazon and destroyed the box I would have taken it back to the store on day one and returned it. I will never ever buy another Samsung tv again. Do not believe the stories on the extended warranties as it is a joke. I want Samsung to fix this tv or send me a new one. I have owned another Samsung tv for 12 years and never had a problem. I guess things were made better back then. Stay away from these products. Buy a Vizio or something other than a Samsung tv as their customer service is horrible.

Picture has horizontal lines and cost quite a bit for the Qled tv. Contacted Samsung at least 20 times maybe more. It just goes up and back. I am on my 6th ticket number. It’s just a horror at what they put you through. Is there any way to sue them in court? This is a new TV. They tell me no service center near. I am on the line now for 2 hours and all it says is, “Please stay on the line.” Help!!!

I bought the 65" tv, and noticed it would crash (Change from HDMI 1 to "TV") after exactly 20 minutes operation. The first guy at the call center remotely logged into my TV but couldn't solve the problem. The next day I tried again for over an hour to find someone to log into the TV. Zero for 5 people could do it. After talking to 4 more people I was finally able to reach a supervisor who sent a tech, 3 days later, with a new main board. That didn't fix anything, but the tech broke the screen when replacing the board. He says he doesn't know what the problem is and told me to get back to Samsung support. Again, a gong show. I've been on hold while I looked through the internet, found this site, created an account, logged in and wrote this review. And I'm still on hold!! Terrible terrible service.

This is by far the worst experience I have had with a product or company. After spending over $4,000 to purchase this unit, in less than 1 1/2 I have had the picture go out with only audio. I spent close to $500 to repair the first time, and 5 months later the same thing happens again. Now they want me to pay for repairs again and will not stand behind their product, or acknowledge that it might be a lemon. How do I know this will not happen again? Do I have to spend $1,000 a year for the privilege of owning a Samsung TV? Samsung, never again.
