On May 25, 2024, I bought the Samsung 65'' Neo QLED 8K QN800C TV from Samsung's website before it became available in Turkey. When the installation team arrived on June 5, 2024, they were unable to finish the setup despite claiming the TV was updating and would be operational in 30 minutes. After an 8-hour wait, the TV still displayed only the Samsung logo. Despite notifying the installation team, they sent me an SMS stating that the installation had been completed successfully and advising me to open a service request.
The next day, another team arrived, confirmed the product's defect, and stated that it needed to be replaced. Subsequent technicians identified an internet issue and referenced a Samsung bulletin, but this was not the problem. I determined that the problem was with the short optical cable used for TV unit mounting, as the longer cable worked fine. The final technician agreed, so a new cable was ordered. After a three to four-week wait, the new cable arrived, but the problem persisted.
As of July 20, 2024, 1.5 months after the installation date, I still can't use the TV. Samsung has not apologized, provided compensation, or taken any corrective action regarding the warranty. As a last resort, I'm considering submitting a complaint to the Consumer Arbitration Committee.
