Samsung oled tv

brookers

Hi there, our barely used 3 year old tv has started to go all black, like somebody is leaking black ink into the screen. Not sure if

we have warranty with power city but just wondering is it worth getting fixed.

Three years is not reasonable for an expensive TV. You actually have six years during which you have rights get the tv fixed, or replaced. Go back to Power City and remind them of their obligations under consumer law.

Consumer needs to show that it is a manufacturing issue and not caused by power surges or anything else.

So OP needs to check online and see if its an issue for others. Maybe contact samsung direct and see if they will repair it - yes, Power city are ultimately responsible, but in many cases its far far easier to go direct to the manufacturer.

Samsung themselves are quite good on rectifying issues

Thanks for that, will give Samsung a go, it is hard to explain but basically tv comes on perfect and then after a few minutes a real creepy black like bleed comes across the screen.

I've ordered 77 Inch and 65 Inch OLED for Samsung S90D. I would like to return 77 and it is not yet opened/delivered. With receipt and 5 yr warranty

Anyone interested can get it at 2700. Market it retails for 3299. Not sure where else to post it.

Adverts and DoneDeal.

Just be prepared to put up with idiots trying to offer you €1k haha.

If you have the receipt it will help the sale.

Good luck!

You can also return to the retailer but I can understand any hesitancy there as you pay have to pay return postage which for a large TV would be pricey!
