Another TV thread. Need suggestions.

Like blurry Ravens.....UHD

Like clear and brightly colored Ravens and better definition.....QLED

CNET and rtings.com talked me into this one over the Samsung's. It's a huge upgrade for me that I now wish I had made a long time ago. And the Ravens looked SHARP AF on this thing in more ways than 1. :00hour

Got this thing for $1499 too, now it's $2199 so it was a legit sales price.

ALWAYS buy Costco! You get 7 years of warranty FREE! Best Buy will charge over $500 for Geek Squad.

I got a shadow on my 75in, called Costco support, they had take 2 pictures and upload them, week later they deemed replaceable and full refund. By then the original price on those had dropped, got the newer year version plus $300 extra and 7 years more warranty. Also 4% cashback on your card. Samsung Support is also very good.

I know Joker said negative and reviews not as high but this an incredible deal for a 75in and below your budget

I bought that Samsung TV @ Costco. 9 days after the 90 day return policy ended the HDMI 2 started acting up. If I had anything plugged in it would kill the audio on HDMI 1. I called Costco who referred me to Samsung. I bought new HDMI cables...A new APPLE TV. Samsung wanted to send someone into my home to try and fix it during a pandemic. I asked them to kindly send me a replacement. I started Googling and it's a known issue. Then the HDMI 1 went. 66 days later Samsung picked up the TV and Costco has yet to respond to my emails as I await a refund and now it's day 81 and no refund yet. FUCK COSTCO AND SAMSUNG. I've only ever bought Samsung TV's I have 4 others now. NEVER AGAIN. I have contacted the better business bureau and Costco's corporate office.

Great purchase Jack. I missed the sale. Next time it happens I am buying this TV too. I can bet a dime or two on a game but cant spend 3k on a TV. :mj07:

 

[MadJack]

I?m not an extended warranty guy but I did buy 2 years extended for this box. The only time I ever bought extended warranties was twice with new cars and never used it either time.

There was an 82? Samsung at Costco and samsclub both with 4 years bumper to bumper in home service for less than the tv I bought but CNET and rtings.com talked me out of it. I absolutely HATE bestbuy but they have the exclusive for TCL TV?s. That?s what I wanted. That?s what I got. I have zero knowledge about TV?s. See how it goes. If the thing lasts a year I?m confident it will last a long time.

Man, what a pain in the ass it must be getting rid of one of these monsters when they die. [emoji2357]

You should have seen me and a nephew hanging this bear on a wall mount. I should have made a video. [emoji23]

T, I would call your local Costco and ask for the general mgr and explain your issues. You can take your TV into the building and they will refund or credit your card on most online purchases. If you call the building , they should take care of you! If they can not help you? ask for the VP'S phone # to speak with them. GL, let me know how this turns out for you, I may be retired, but I am still a share holder :0008

I got a 75 inch Sony 3 years ago from Best Buy with a tremendous sale price because it was opened at store to try and fit in car, and the person that bought didn't realize it would not fit car, nor fit on correct wall. Bottom line, with the savings, I got the Geek Squad 5 year warranty for 440, which I NEVER do. Well, watching football Sunday night and turn off TV. Yesterday turn back on and powers up but only a black screen, and the input on the upper left. Called Xfinity, but realize it is not them. Has anyone had this happen, perfect one minute then, poof! completely blank screen the next day? Does Geek Squad truly do a good job, or will I be getting pushback from them? They are coming to house Friday, to see what is needed. It is in the same place as where they installed it 3 years ago, so no damage whatsoever. Any suggestions what to say? Or just let them do their thing. Thanks

It'll be interesting to me what happens but I would expect them to fix whatever is wrong and not charge a dime. That's the impression I got when I bought the extended warranty. Good luck. What a pain in the ass.

With TV on (it comes on), and just no picture and a 75 inch black screen, should I try a new HDMI cable in place of the one I have now? Is it a possibility for it to just become bad like that? If so, I will go get one.

Try it in a different HDMI port.

 

[Wineguy]

Try it in a different HDMI port.

Nope, it is definitely the TV. My son hooked his XBOX up to it and got nothing, so lets see what Geeksquad will do for me and a $2800 TV at the time. I have LOVED it and the picture.

Thanks, Betone. I actually called Costco Corporate and the operator became my advocate. Would you believe I got my full refund and a $300 Cash card all within 24 hours! 3 months late but it will do.
