bought my first samsung TV, and used for 5 yrs and kaput, loud exploded noise, maybe capacitor blow up. Seek TV repair guy, he said repair cost too much, better buy a new one.

Second TV, try LG, but flickering line came out before 2 yrs, luckily bought extended warranty, sent it for warranty. But the result is same, repair cost is too high and they (insurance company) choose to pay me lump sum of RM1700.
TV repair guy told me nowadays TV won't last long, every brand is the same, but told me better buy from the big factory (samsung lg etc), other smaller less popular brand like Sharp they also take stock (LCD/LED panel) from big factory (Samsung, LG)

So I used that RM1700 and top up a bit and bought my 3rd TV, a samsung U series 4K TV. This time I MAX out the warranty to 5 yrs If kaput again within 5yrs then I will have another almost free TV. So far using it for 2 yrs, so far ok.

For TS,
if you are an average user, either samsung or LG wont different too much in (2) and (3)
If you are concern (1) and (4), then just purchase extended warranty.

Last note, the duration to claim kaput TV is long, near to a month.

Thanks for the valuable sharing!

1) Can you remember how much was the insurance cost to cover for 5 years warranty?
2) How they judge how much to compensate you in the unfortunate claim (the RM1700)?

I have made the decision to go with Samsung AU7000 [U]because i dont want the LG magic remote to create another issue to me after few years down the road     

Hi guys,
anyone using Samsung AU7700 or AU7000..
So far so good?

Samsung with extended warranty the best
Service is fast

Got issue display burn with my Samsung TU6900
Not even 1 year. But they come and replace whole front tv panel
Now all good
Maybe 1st version production bad

Extend the warranty to how many years?
And cost how much?

2years samsung by default
+ 3 years by seller i.e harvey norman
total 5years max
iinm + rm 300 +

last time i just topup rm1000++ to get new samsung tv,50inch to 65inch upgrade after they have no parts,that was after 4years using. worth it if u have kids that always on the tv 🤣

I plan buy samsung 75inch AU7700,
and my sofa can 3.8meter from TV,

do u think is it suitable, will too near or not?
