I have a friend bought a Samsung LCD TV in 1 year ago. Then,... he needs to keep a very close contact with Samsung CS and exchanged the mainboard 2 times but still cannot work normally. Up to now, he still have a very close relationship with Samsung CS for his LCD TV... Samsung even said many reasons to delay the repair progress... e.g. no component in HK, need to order and wait 4 weeks.... If you want to spend your time to deal with Samsung, go ahead to buy it and you better get ready to arrange a guy at home to wait for them to come to check again and again....
