Yes we took delivery of this 98 inch TV for a high worth client. It arrived , we mounted it and it would not turn on. On close investigation we found that the LCD was cracked in the bottom left hand corner.

After two weeks the huge paper weight is still hanging on the clients wall and we are still awaiting to hear what Samsung intends to do meanwhile trying to shift blame for what is probably a badly designed TV. What an absolutely pathetic response from the company. They should consider the logistics of supplying and fitting such a TV and then what to do if there is a problem. For this price there should be an included insurance or at least a resolution path. We await a decision, come on Samsung your client is very unhappy! My advice if you consider this TV, make sure that you have a plan should it fail because it appears Samsung do not!
