Anywhere but 6th AVE,
by RyanTT, 2010-07-12
i have a problem buying ANYTHING from 6th ave after my last experience ...
i bought a TV from them and received it fully packaged and not working sending the tv back was an issue for me as i do not live in the us so i decided to try to fix it on my own as 6th ave offered no help they told me tvs this size have to be dealt with the manufacturer.. upon taking the tv to be fixed we realized the inside of the tv had been through war as if they sold me a used or "refurbished" tv .... never the less i will never support this website again... thats my experience with them ... ive bought several things from amazon and anytime there is a problem they would see to it immediately thank you for that amazon but 6th ave ... POOR POOR POOR ....
Best I have owned,
by Benjamin L., 2010-07-08
Granted, I ordered the TV in the winter time and live in the Midwest. I was expecting it to be delayed, as the many blizzards that rip through this area during this time of the year. What I was not expecting was making all the calls I did just to track my TV down!! Let alone, I find out it had been deferred several times to other locations all over and around the city I live in. My town is not that small (around 90,000 people) and shipping shouldn't have been as frustrating as it was. And after all my aggravations, I did receive my television, perfectly in-tact... just 2 weeks later than I anticipated. If you must pay a bit more and have UPS ship it, I would highly recommend doing that. The money you save is not worth the hassle that this shipper caused me. This TV is stunning. It has a great picture and look to the screen quality. The ToC gives a nice asthetic feel to it and I love how my PS3 games and Blu-ray movies appear on the television. I definitely recommend the TV to anyone looking for a nice, relatively large flat screen for a reasonable price. However, if the shipper is Pilot Air or through this sight specifically, I DO NOT recommend ordering it.

Samsung poor quality,
by Mike, 2010-07-01
I would have never thought that Samsung would have issues. My 46" LN46A550 just got repaired. It is 20 months old. Samsung was/is using lower voltage capacitors than is required on their boards. Mine had 10 volt ones in a 12 volt spot. Samsung has a list of all of the model numbers with this issue. The repair man came over and wanted to flip my TV on the screen face down on my couch. My wife was home and asked him what he was doing. He said that it was safe because it was a leather couch. My wife insisted that he wait until she put a blanket down. He seemed annoyed. Samsung has poor quality control lately but they did honor this problem. It is a one time fix. If it were something else broken, they would have charged me hundreds of dollars to fix it. At a minimum, you would have to pay for the diagnostic on it even if the repair was too much for your pocket.
Very Disapointed,

Read this before you buy.
I bought this TV on January 31, 2010, as a second set to place in our den. It has gotten very little use (about 2 hours a week). While it is a very nice looking piece of equipment and had a very good quality picture at first, It is no longer working.
I have made three service calls to 1 800 Samsung.
* The first time I was told I would receive a call back to schedule service technician to come out to have a look at it. Two days later when I came home from work there was a message to call back. I did so the next day and was told our service request was cancelled because we could not be reached.
* I called Samsung again, they opened a new service request. I was later called to schedule an appointment for the coming Monday (6/14). When I called on Friday to make sure they are coming, I was told that our Service Request had again been cancelled, because the serial number did not match. After confirming numbers the rep. on the phone told me that they had written down a Q instead of a G. While this could have been an error on my part, I would have expected a call instead of them cancelling the service request.
* The third time was a charm, I scheduled something and a very nice technician came out to look at it. He turned it on and let me know that the panel was broken and it was not going to be covered under warranty. To fix it would be more expensive than a new TV. He also recommended, I call Samsung and "fight for it".
So I called. After being placed on a brief hold twice. The person on the phone told me that it was a cracked panel and as such not covered under the warranty. I asked about options and was told to call back tomorrow. Instead, I asked for a customer service rep. the man on the phone told me they did not have one. Asking for a supervisor I was told he was not available. When I said I would hold, I was told that it could take a very long time. I left my number with a request to get a call back. Guess what? I am still waiting.
Bottom line:
I have a 4 month old TV, hardly ever used, that I spent about $ 750.00 on. I have not used it in any other way than you all do (watch TV). It is no longer working. and Samsung's solution is "it's not covered under warranty.
To you, Samsung: Not very good customer service.
To all future owners of a Samsung TV: I hope that this was a fluke of bad luck on my part. Enjoy yours while it works.
