After seeing the last review about Amazon, I followed up only to find the same experience. On the website it states that the TV can be delivered in 2 days – if you pick standard shipping. In actuality it is 7 to 10 business days. I am on the phone with them right now asking for a supervisor.

This review is about Amazon rather than the Samsung TV. I believe that review here should include the experience with Amazon and the delivery too.
First of all, Amazon failed on the delivery issue here big time. And it’s NOT “CEVA” fault. It took Amazon a week to deliver the TV to “CEVA”! The customer service at Amazon was also rude. He claimed it’s my fault that I have selected the free delivery! Well, why Amazon offers that service if it can’t deliver in a reasonable time? Technically I got the TV in 13 days. First time I have problems with Amazon.
The TV is made by (SAMEX) in Tijuana, Mexico. Does anyone believe that “in-home” assembly is the same as “third-party” assembly? I doubt it. Well it will take a while to see the defaults. Amazon didn’t disclose that TV is made by a third party though. Anyone have experience with this issue before?
The panel is most likely “A” panel (The serial number starts with AUYK). I couldn’t figure out the type of panel this TV have for sure. Anyone knows how to find out about that?
So far the TV looks good. I’m just worried about issues in near future for a SAMEX made.

I wish I could give a 5-star review for the tv. But I don’t have it. I ordered this tv on Oct. 8, 2009 with estimated delivery Oct.15, 2009. It was coming by Pilot and tracking showed it to be in Indianapolis, IN on Oct.9 and in Groveport, OH on Oct 12. Having heard nothing from anyone on Oct. 15, I e-mailed Pilot and did get a quick response saying that my tv was now with their home delivery company and gave me a phone number. I called and was told that it would not be delivered until Oct. 21 or 22, when they are in my area. Keep in mind that I am less than two hours away from Groveport and Grove City, Oh where this second company is located. There was nothing I could say that would get my tv delivered any sooner. So, it is sitting less than 2 hours from my home for 10 days waiting on some lazy delivery company to bring it to me. I just hope the tv is everything all the other reviewers say it is when I get it, if I ever do. By the way, when I ordered it the price was $1299-now it is $300+ less!

I would give this TV and Samsung 0 stars if I could. This TV didn’t make it past the 5-month point. It’s 2 weeks and counting to have it repaired. Samsung has lost any future business with me.

Do not buy a Samsung TV. My 40 inch Samsung LCD lasted just a little over 2 years. According to multiple internet sites
Samsung built a bunch of LCD TV’s with bad capacitors that fail after a year or more (right after warranty is over).
You can do a simple Google search and find many people who have had the same problems. After a year or two, the TV’s
no longer turn on. Samsung has been made aware of this issue, but refuses to correct the problem. There are multiple
sites that even tell you exactly how the problem is corrected. I am sure the number of people with this problem will
increase as time goes by. Even with the extended warranty, it is not worth the hassle of buying a large TV from a
company that does not support its products. I did a lot of research before choosing a Samsung, but since it was
early in the production cycle, the problem did not appear. Don’t take a chance, get another brand.
