Black LINES! Edge-Lit LED TV

No, Samsung gives 12 months parts & labor. I didn't get an extended warranty because I figured I was buying SAMSUNG it should last at least 5 years and by that time I'll want a new tv anyway. No way did I expect this piece to die in less than 2 years.

This is why ALL the details are needed in posts. It's always nice to get the extra 3 months and pull it back under warranty.

About 5 years. Today, no matter what you buy it looks like we need warranties if we can't accept failures like this. That's a discussion that is worth having but not here.

I already checked my model & all the other info and I've called Samsung and yes my TV only had 12 months. Even if, like I said in my op I've been using it for 19 months. And you're right, 5 years, what the crap am I smoking? I will not accept a failure like this because even if I had an extended warranty Samsung said they wouldn't do anything about it unless I shipped it back to the states - so a lot of good that would have done me.

I live in Guam, bought my TV at the Naval Exchange and Samsung's fix was for me to ship it back to the US to my parents house and then they would come out to see if there was a special service on it. I asked if he could just look it up on his magical computer and low and behold he could, there wasn't a special service. So I'm supposed to wait until we move back to the states and then call and maybe they will have a special service in by then. So a few more years later and toting this broke *** tv all across the world and maybe some slim chance we will get it fixed?

siovahn88,

Ok I'm not a total idiot. I understand that its out of warranty, I never had an extended warranty, and I'm not upset that I live in Guam and warranty isn't being validated because my warranty is already over. What I am upset about is the individual I talked to who insisted I ship it to the US without any other option of even letting me know if there was a special service on the TV. Regardless of all that, what I'm saying is that from the research I've done over the past week I've noticed this to be a huge problem with these TVs. I am not the only person experiencing this issue. There is a pattern here and its not fair to the consumers. You just can't make crap that last until the warranty is up and get away with it....ask HP.

Just last year I lost a laptop to HP's repair system. It's one year later and we are inching toward a resolution.

HP broke it and it took 6 months for a nice HP rep to step in. I've had to bite my tongue but at times I can't help but write about this and HP.

Well, how can I put this nicely? Folk do move around but due to what would be a very long explanation it is very rare to get worldwide service.

My Honda for example had no warranty as I moved to another country. Yes they honored the recall items but no warranty and that was at 6 months.

Like I wrote, this area of world wide warranties is not going to be a nice discussion, but I try.
