Guys - My TV has also been delivered home yesterday. The combo kit will take some more time it seems. Not opened box as I was traveling and don't expect installation to be done for some time since i'm doing some work in the installation area as well. Let's see how fast that one goes !!!

However, I had a query. Do the Samsung guys install the bracket as well or do I have to have it ready ??

Incidentally (and this is for all guys) the dealer placed a install support call yesterday itself with Samsung and I also got the ticket by SMS - BUT I have yet to receive a call from Samsung. Suits me now, but would have been MAD if my place was ready. Be warned guys !!!!

Congrats Manit and dimbo_jack :clapping:.


Hope you will get plenty of time with the beauty soon enough.....

Congrats on deciding to buy D550

What is the best price that you are getting at Vizag? It's only then one can do a comparison and decide accordingly.cheers

My mom is too lazy to ask for a quote in Vizag. I wonder if I can arrange for a TV to be delivered by the end of this month online as I am in the US until then. Any help is appreciated.

They will fix it .I called the samsung customer service had the TV registered and they sent a guy the installation done.

You may choose to join the group buy. It may take time for you to get the TV though, however after shipping to Manit, I have learned more to tackle shipping issues. The courier company chosen specialize in such shipments so we can minimize transit damage. Nevertheless, if there is a damage, Samsung will handle it locally or refund the amount.

Prankey, I'd be interested. I'll PM you. It might not be that difficult to ship it to Vizag. Thanks!

Can we have an unboxing video, youtube-style and post a link to the video? That would be wonderful!

Samsung engineer came today for installation......After installation when he switched it on....it made a loud buzz and was nothing on screen.....he called another engineer as he said he only does installations so not sure about it. Another engineer came and check the TV.....He said that the panel glass is broken later we noticed little crack on screen glass as well.

He also said that for PDP Samsung doesnt provide any coverage for transit damage and I need to speak to dealer. I called dealer he said that only Samsung can provide any kind of support after sales. Not sure what would happen now.

Other thing it did not contain 3D Glasses as promised by dealer.

Unfortunately this deal was not beneficial for me. I m thankful to Prankey for all his time and efforts but its my bad luck :sad:

@manit_goel,

So sad to see your bad experience.
Are you aure that the person who installed the TV didn't do anything wrong as he doesn't install them usually? If you notice something, talk to Samsung cust care and ask for replacement. Dealer cannot escape if he arranged for transport. He is responsible for faulty delivery. Meet him and see if some luck is available.

Guys,

I feel, It will be a good activity if we capture the installation right from unboxing to the tuning. It'll be helpful for fellow members as well as for individual incase of any mistake they do.

Thats so sad! Hope you can get your replacement quickly.

Was it transit damage?
The unopened product with packaging atleast looked undamaged/good in the pics you had uploaded. Is the packaging not good enough? Or is it the case of some chinks in the armour for the packaging plus bad luck?

On different note, I was wondering what do I do with the packaging after getting the TV...must be quite large and may require loads of space to store such large empty cartons (just in case it is valuable to retain the old packaging). Looks like this carton can be thrown off, and it is anyway not so good.

Hey Manit, not sure why 3D glasses were not included. I tried calling Samsung guy to understand why is Samsung Delhi telling they don't cover for damage (he had assured that he will ship the glasses and any damage if there is any issue in these regards, so don't worry). I will send him a SMS to call me back. I transferred amount today morning, wish I could have waited for the installation as didn't know such issues may occur. Nevertheless, Samsung should replace the TV ASAP and I will ensure you get 3D glass if that was not included.

I will also talk with Samsung that these issues should never come again as particularly on 3D glasses, its certainly a miss by the dealer if despite sending a open boxed item (when they took permission to open), didn't put the glasses and till yesterday Samsung was claiming that they have definitely included it.

Edit - Please post as many photos of the front and back of the TV for us, also highlighting the damage. If possible, upload a video on youtube highlighting all the accessories you have got.
