You bought from Ebay
How do you know it was brand new?
So you won't have warranty details from the retailer, and the retailer is passing you off onto Samsung
This clearly sounds like something is not right.
I suspect that as you didn't get it from a recommended retailer. Getting your money back will be a case of going back to the seller and getting your money back from them.
As Samsung wasn't the retailer, they wouldn't be liable for any refunds
Also the warranty may not be covered either. You'd have to check the small print on this one.
I hope you get the resolution you want.
But on this one your going to have to get onto the seller

It's up to the seller on Ebay to refund your money, your contract is with them. Don't let them fob you off.

@Anthonymark1986: I'm sorry to hear that you have encountered this issue with your TV. We take matters or customer safety very seriously, so you did the right thing in reaching out to our support channels to raise the matter with us. Following contact from the relevant team an engineers inspection will be arranged to verify the root cause of the problem, and a resolution will be offered based on the engineers findings. I understand that the situation is far from ideal, and recommend that you do not attempt to use the set again until the proper investigations have been carried out.

They may say they buy direct from Samsung, but your transaction is through that seller.

Question everything before committing to buying from Ebay. The site is full of imported goods, second hand and reconditioned goods sold as new.

I'm sure the Samsung repair team will be able to provide a solution for you and be able to advise if it has a current warranty
