“Impossible to get item repaired under warranty”
Written on: 16/05/2013 by Bubba10 (2 reviews written)
I got a Samsung Galaxy S3 phone which cost more than £500/- about 7 months ago, Many of the 16GB models are dying for no reason and it is foud to be defective motherboard software (nandflash) which will totally corrupt the motherboard and make it unusable. Unfortunately my phone did have the same problem. I contact Samsung and sent my phone to once of theie service centres. When I sent the phone it was powering up but would not go beyond the welcome scree. I got it back after about 2 weeks... (read more)
“Won't turn completely on”
Written on: 02/05/2013
Liked everything except when it refused to turn on - would try to turn on for hours and hours, sometime all day and then I turned it off before I could put my foot thru it. Will not buy another Samsung even if it costs a nickel. (read more)

Written on: 30/03/2013 by marti.gras (1 review written)
Literally all the electronics I own are samsung: a samsung GalaxyS III cellphone, samsung Galaxy tablet, and a samsung 54 inch LED TV. I used to be a big fan...used to be, until they tried to rip me off. We purchased the TV about 3 years ago. Recently, my samsung LED TV flashed a message saying there was a software update and repeated it every 48 hours. I was unable to download the update so after about 3 weeks of seeing the same message, I decided to call samsung for help (3/30/13). ... (read more)
“Bild gut Technik nicht ausgereift”
Written on: 15/03/2013
Fernseher LED hat ein gutes Bild, aber alle andere Technik ist Schrott und nicht ausgereift! Aufnahme über USB Festplatten unmöglich bis hin zur Zerstörung der Platten, die teuren USB Wlansticks sind überteuert und bringen nicht mal eine 10 Meter Verbindung hin , alles in allem ein TV mit sinnlosen und nichtfunktionierenden Optionen. Ich bin sauer auf Samsung, da man keine Qualität für teure Produkte bekommt! (read more)

“Korean Television Made In Hungary?”
Written on: 30/10/2012 by brakenoodle (23 reviews written)
The Samsung brand attracted me so I took the plunge and purchased a 42" LED TV expecting a quality product. I was wrong. The picture is okay but everything else is frustrating. Firstly the instruction book is not good enough, vague and poorly written which is a problem when you want to do something like retune the TV. The on screen display has a delayed action of 2-3 seconds when you press any button on the remote, almost like it is thinking about what you have asked it to do. This delay is... (read more)
“Samsung LN46B610 ”
Written on: 19/09/2012 by flacco10
3 years ago I bought a Samsung LCD TV series 6. About 9 months ago I started seeing some horizontal lines across my screen. Now it got to the point where the screen is completely filled with lines and different color hue. Samsung won't repair the TV because it's out of warranty. I also had bought extended warranty with BJs but ofcourse it expired like 3 months before these lines started to appear. So now I'm stuck with a TV that I pay $2,000.00 and not repair. for this amount of money... (read more)

Recently I bought Samsung LED TV UA55D6400UN from Thailand. I have checked spec before purchase. It says 'DTV receiver and DVBT'ตัวปรับ DTV ในตัว Yes/ ารรับสัญญาณ DTV DVB-T And dealer also told me it is Digital. However, when I started tuning channel I found it is Analogue.

“Thought Samsung were good - how wromg was I”
Written on: 28/02/2012
Bought a 40 inch LCD tv just over 3 years ago,which I thought I'd reviewed comprehensively, but just recently (approx 6 months ago) i have been getting two vertical dark blurry lines, just to the left of the centre ot the screen. approximately 4 inches long. Have e-mailed Samsung, but not holding out much hope, reading other reviews. It also appears as it's a screen fault, it will not be financially viable to get it repaired. I paid £750.00 for the tv which I was expecting to last at least... (read more)

I have just done a quick scour of the internet as my LED 46" samsung has this line issue as described and also keeps cutting out. Purchased in 2010 and hardly used (2nd TV) I have figured the cost of repair to outway the benefits. Seems from my quick research that there are definitely screen quality issues with their TV's so WILL NOT RECOMMEND OR PURCHASE AGain...considering the high profile of this brand it has a very poor showing and very poor customer relations

I have a samsung 61" dlp model # hlt6176sx\xaa I purchased a few years ago and in the past few days I've noticed little white dots appearing. I googled my problem and found tons of people with the same issue most saying that samsung knows this is a known issue and came and replaced the part free of charge. When I called samsung they knew right off of my issue but said my model was not covered and there was nothing they could do for me other than send a company out that I would have to pay.I...

This product is unreliable. I bought a samsung flatscreen and just after the warranty expired (12 months), the picture began getting large verticle lines through it. Samsung did replace the tv with a new one. Six month later, with a completely new tv, I have the same problem and will have to throw it out. There is a significant recurring problem w the product (read more)

Written on: 15/11/2010
Spent £600 on a Samsung 40" LCD TV 14 months ago and blew up last week. Apparently the cost of getting it repaired is £200 so needless to say, I will have to just buy a new TV and it wont be a Samsung product.
Phoned Samsung customer service and got a girl in Egypt who could hardly speak English and to be honest, it was a total waste of half an hour of my life!
Biggest waste of money I have ever spent.

We have just purchased a Samsung 32 inch TV from John Lewis, Bristol, UK and there are some little niggles but the retailer gave us a 5 year guarantee. So I hope it will be OK. The paper manual is no help with trouble shooting. I tried to download the online manual but that was for a mobile phone!!!

My husband and I purchased a samsung 42 inch lcd tv from Best Buy 3 years ago as a present for our 10 yr anniversary. We paid over 1500 for this tv and now 3 years later it is trash. It just started taking longer and longer to actually turn on after pushing the power button and one day it did not turn on at all (it just clicks over and over). I went on the internet and found that this is a major problem with samsung and that they refuse to make a recall and fix this problem so many people... (read more)

Written on: 26/02/2009 by Ken M (1 review written)
I brought a Samsung 40 (LNR408DX), took it home, hung it on the wall and enjoyed it, until 6 months after the warranty expired. The picture went out, but sound was still great. Samsung sent a repair man out who said apparently we needed a $450.00 repair (parts/labor)and that they would order it. (that sounded reasonable)
A few days later came a call that part could no longer be ordered seperately, the cost would now be $1000.00. I can buy new TV for that price, and have a new warranty

We bought a 32" HDTV Samsung in Jan. of 07. Began having sound problems pretty soon. A terrible vibration in some sound tones and muffled quality. Company we bought it from came out 3 times and said they couldn't do anything about it because it was in a cabinet!! Excuse me? Finally called Samsung who referred me to a local serviceman who came out and said he had just repaired other Samsung tv's with same problem. Something about the speakers vibrating against some part in the tv. It... (read more)

I Have a Samsung 26" tv which has bee ok for maybe 2 years but now the sound has become terrible on loud deeper sounds.

<br/>A change of loudspeakers (used) made no difference and I am loathe to discard this set or to pay extortionate repair costs (assuming anyone can repair the problem. Samsung? Judging by other sites full of Samsung problems, Never Again!!!

Written on: 01/08/2008 by guitarhog
I spent over $5,500. on a Samsung 67" DLP flat screen tv. After 1 1/2 years, the stupid thing just died. The projection unit quit...as I found out, many people have the same issues. I called samsung's customer service and they all just kept passing me from one department to another. Finally after a month of phone calls, one supervisor told me, the TV is out of warranty and they are not going to do anything about it...if I want my TV to work again, they'll call a local repair shop for me...

I bought a 19" Samsung TV in 1992. Since then I have had it shipped across the world, (I bought it in Korea) and it has survived at least 15 moves from apartment to apartment, state to state. I've never had a problem with it and it is still working today. For a cheap TV, this was a very good buy. (read more)

Both Samsung, their approved t.v. engineers and the shop we bought it from (a well known local shop and who also sell extensively from the internet) have been absolutely no help at all. We have had the set brand new since mid November. It broke down with an unrelated problem Christmas day and to date (1 Feb) it has not been returned to us with an acceptable repair.

My Samsung tv broke in less than 40 days, then took 4 days to get the parts which were not the problem. Then when advised the "right" part would be another 2 wks, they wanted to exchange TV's which would take 2-3 wks to receive and only offered 3 more months of extended service for my headache. What a joke, never buy a Samsung product! (read more)

I recently bought a Samsung CW21A113V 21" TV, and it literally can't be faulted.
The sound quality is superb, and with the virtual surround sound turned on, it's almost like having proper surround sound speakers!!
The unit is very easy to use, and I will definitely be buying more Samsung products in the future.

Bigskez's Response to flacco10's Review
Written on: 26/09/2012
Hi Flacco10,
Don't worry it's not a huge issue I had the same thing just a week after I bought the TV. All you have to do is adjust the TV ASPECT for example 16:9 etc.... Then if that dosen't fix it you will need to adjust the size of picture on your screen, for example Screen Fit: Zoom, Fit to Screen, Stretch, 2x Zoom, Widescreen, etc, etc...... When the feed is lower for ex. commercials and channels that are not 1080 or 720. If your on a channel that is full 1080p/i and you see it, you will have to go back and forth between the two settings until it dissapears.
Samsung as a company should be more proactive with helping people, or just fixing the issue so it dosen't happen again. Anyways good luck and happy watching.......
It's exactly what happened to me and it worked. But it's not going to be perfect, because you are seeing these lines when the feed is not HD1080p/i.
