THAT is excellent service. I bet I know which brand you'll buy on your next tv.
My Samsung HD 3D 55" TV was flickering "SMART TV " at startup and would not load the program or turn off. It was 4 years old and out of warranty but when I rang Samsung they sent a technician who fixed it for free by replacing the plasma screen.
Excellent service from Samsung.
