OT: Warning Samsung products crap....

 Well, last December we bought two Samsung slimfit 27" TV's. One for
us, one for my dad. His died in the second week of February, ours went
last night.. His was under warrantee but still took almost 6 weeks to
be fixed, I am not sure if we had the extended warrantee on ours.
Either way, steer clear of Samsung crap if at all possible, just a
warning...

After reading about this and other Samsung models on the net I wish I
never bought one. Even Amazon which usually has 100 good reviews from
three day owners of products is mostly negative..

I bought a Samsung 12000 BTU AC for my shop and within three months it
crapped out.

I took it back and traded it in at Lowe's (lucky me, they gave me no
problems)

They gave me another unit and a fresh reciept told me no worries.

Within two months that one quit too.

I took it back to Lowe's and  they gave me a full refund.

Samsung sux here too

Cheers to Lowe's

No more Korean appliances for me

I've got a cheap Samsung laser printer.  I bought it because it was one
of the few that had linux drivers ON THE INSTALL CD!  I have the linux
machine connected to it at the USB port and the windows machine
connected at the parallel port.  Very handy. The paper jams sometimes
unless you push the drawer in, and sometimes when it prints it puts big
black blotches every 2", which sounds like a hardware problem, but
sometimes it doesn't.  Still, for what I want it's a fine printer and I
think I've had it for 2 years.  Baby son has had a similar one for about
the same length of time.

My Samsung phone is OK, except for the fact that it doesn't have
voice-dialing -- I didn't have a big choice when I signed up for
T-Mobile prepaid.  It's about a year and a half old.


Our unwatched bedroom TV is a 1995 32" Toshiba.  We splurged on a 52"
Sharp Aquos for the living room -- we figure we deserved it and besides,
it heats the house in winter!

Bought it at Costco.  They dropped the price several hundred dollars
while it was still within the no-questions-asked return period, so they
gave us a refund of the decrease.  It dropped again in a few months, but
they changed the stand a little bit and gave it a new part number and
wouldn't give another refund.  The manager was so damn sanctimonious
about it that we ordered the new one, bundled up the old one and
returned it.  Hey, they could have avoided that but they DIDN'T.

That's what happens when management doesn't look at the big picture :-)

My Samsung 42" Plasma (720P) is 2.5 years old and works just fine and
it's on an awful lot.

 Most of the pictures on my website were taken by Samsung digital
cameras

when the first camera died late last year - a 3m pixel bought in 2003,
the battery connectors snapped, it works if I solder the batteries,
but this is too much work - I bought a new Samsung 5m pixel that I am
very satisfied with.

my computer monitor I bought early in 1998, it is a 15 inch tube,
samsung, not even flat screen... Last year, I decided to keep up with
technology and got a 17 inch LCD from LG. I had nothing but trouble
with it. In less than a week, it developed two dead pixels and LG said
warranty on dead pixel is only valid if it had a minimum of (6?) dead
pixels. Ok... One month later it developed two 2mm horizontal line,
one green and one yellow, a patriotic monitor, you see... When I took
it to the service center, the guy said that in my state, there are
only two places that services lcd monitors: one 700km away and other
150km far. I had to miss a work's day to drive 300km and take the
monitor there. After three months, they said the repair was not
economically viable and they would refund me, what happened three
months later... Meanwhile, I was using my old, stained, bulky and
reliable 15" tube samsung monitor, which is what I'm using now. Only
once it had a little trouble (powering itself off), the repair was so
ridiculously cheap that I wanted to pay the repair man (from an
independent one-man-operation shop) twice what he charged me... Of
course I payed only what was on the bill :-) I had nothing but good
experience with samsung and terrible experience from lg! So, I advise:
steer clear of lg products! <g> I am considering getting a new lcd
monitor and it will be, 90% sure, samsung...
