Re: Samsung LCD settlement
Yea, someone emailed that to me this morning.... HAHA Very reminiscent of the Dell settlement....Abit too.... I found it funny reading that, they still today won't actually acknowledge the capacitor problem.<--- Badcaps.net Founder

Re: Samsung LCD settlement
Is it one of those lawers get big bucks, consumers get pennies and coupons "settlements"?PeteS in CA
Power Supplies should be boring: No loud noises, no bright flashes, and no bad smells.

Re: Samsung LCD settlement
would have been good advertising for them to just admit to the fault and fix the affected units rather than feed the sharks and piss everyone off with such a "settlement"
sell me a pile of junk and give me a coupon for a small discount on another unit?
wont fly.Comment

Re: Samsung LCD settlement
Dell went through the disbelief-denial-decision to @#$% over their customers cycle some 7 or 8 years ago. They avoided a big loss of profit ... and lost even worse in customer relations and loss of business. How Samsung managed not to learn from Dell's mistake is mystifying.PeteS in CA

Because it's not a mistake?
On Dells or Samsungs part.
Anything newer than 2003 or so with regularly bad caps (not including the occasional bad batch) isn't a mistake.... It's a way to keep the purchase cycle going.The More You Learn The Less You Know!Comment

Re: Samsung LCD settlement
Bought my Samsung TV in 2008. It finally stopped turning on in 2012. Samsung did a free out of warranty repair service via the local tv repair shop. I didn't even realize there was a lawsuit going on. I'm wondering if there's still residual damage though... any remote I use seems to have issues communicating with the TV at time. It's sporadic and I can't figure it out.Comment
