Samsung — LCD TV defective in 3 months

Address:

Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh

I was visiting the great city of Singapore and I thought may be buying a Samsung TV wont be bad idea since Samsung products were supposed to be more reliable. So I found out a dealership and ordered a 37 inches LCD TV costing me 800 dollars. I came back to India and started using the TV, it ran fine for 2 months and then just one night the screen went blank. I called the local authorized service centre and the Samsung helpline. I was told to send the TV to the service centre. After one day I was told that LCD panel and the PCB of the TV has gone bad and needs to be replaced. And the TV has been purchased in Singapore hence it can not be done under warranty and I would have to pay a sum of Rs 25000 in cash if I wanted it to be repaired. This is such a bull . You buy a product from a multinational company, which sells it on the name of International warranty. Fill a warranty card and then it turns out its not even valid in India. So one has to shell out double the cost in less than 3 months. Samsung Company you are such a pity and I am going to spread awareness about your products using all means including internet on everysite to show how you treat your customers.
