Best Valentine's Day Ever! (4 a guy anyway)
Best Valentine's Day Ever! (4 a guy anyway)
Well I recently ordered a fairly inexpensive Samsung TV online. This is my first foray into HDTV territory so I wasn't really looking for anything mindblowing. I spent under a grand on a decent 720P TV and after attempting to get Best Buy to ship it to a store where I could pick it up, they said they couldn't do it and charged me 70 bucks for home delivery. Oh well...what r u gonna do? Well they deliver my TV and I start to get the sense that something wasn't right...but in a good way. The box said 4 HDMI inputs which mine should have only had 3. The box said 1080P where mine should only be 720P so I am thinking this is just the box that they were using to deliver it in.
After they pull it out of the box I confirmed my original suspicion that they were giving me the wrong TV but it was a 50' just like I ordered. So the guy gives me the paperwork to sign and they only charged me for the lower end model so I think I am good to go. I then go upstairs to check the model number of my TV online and it cost more than double what I payed!!!
Well the next day I get a call that they realized their mistake and wanted me to confirm the model number so they could straighten things out and get me the right TV. At this point I am at work so I cant give them the numbers but I'm an honest guy so I tell them to call me back the next day at a time I would be home.
Fast forward to the next day and the douchebags show up at my house at like 8am rather than calling me as agreed and given that I work nightshift, 8am is taboo for me. So I ignore their knocks at the door and get another call yesterday from the best buy warehouse looking to confirm the TV model. At this point I am a little pissed that they sent people to my house at 8 AM for their mistake so I ***** out a customer service rep telling them it was their mistake and they need to work around my schedule if they want it back. The rep was a complete tool and was very disrespectful so at this point I'm thinkin "you fawkers aint getting this TV back". I then escalate the call to a manager and complain more about how its already installed on my wall, it was their mistake and that they need to eat the loss... and guess what??? They agreed!!! The manager admitted his delivery driver picked up the wrong TV and said that they didn't want to inconvenience me anymore so I can keep the TV with full warranty!!! Best valentine's day ever!
Oh and for the girlies reading I had a nice romantic night with the lady as well...giggity!
Cliffs:
1. Bought a cheap TV
2. Was given a baller TV
3. Was pissed off at 8 am
4. Got to keep baller *** TV

Well I unfortanetly am laughing at you the PN50( or 40/46)A650 is the biggest piece of **** and the power module on it blows all the time, our tech support have to replace them constantly. The 750 also sucks the 950(LED) is the only one that is honestly decent the (650/750/850) have so much mickey mouse BS add-ons that over hype the picture its NOTHING Like the real thing, it makes NFL on TV look like Madden 09.
Originally a 450.
I have no complaints with the TV. Like I said this is my first real HDTV so I really didnt even need something this nice...and for 900 bucks, you show me where I can get a better 50" TV and I will keep it in mind for next time...but until then be a douche and laugh by yourself cuz I'm happy as hell.

I will continue to laugh, you could of got a panasonic 85U series with anti glare and 4000% better black levels and alot more accurate colors not to mention mpeg-4 reduction and super annoying samsung patented 120HZ, but hey I'm just a Trust Fund douche with a better TV that spent half the price as you.
