Re: OT: Warning Samsung products crap....

Most of the pictures on my website were taken by Samsung digital
cameras

when the first camera died late last year - a 3m pixel bought in 2003,
the battery connectors snapped, it works if I solder the batteries,
but this is too much work - I bought a new Samsung 5m pixel that I am
very satisfied with.

my computer monitor I bought early in 1998, it is a 15 inch tube,
samsung, not even flat screen... Last year, I decided to keep up with
technology and got a 17 inch LCD from LG. I had nothing but trouble
with it. In less than a week, it developed two dead pixels and LG said
warranty on dead pixel is only valid if it had a minimum of (6?) dead
pixels. Ok... One month later it developed two 2mm horizontal line,
one green and one yellow, a patriotic monitor, you see... When I took
it to the service center, the guy said that in my state, there are
only two places that services lcd monitors: one 700km away and other
150km far. I had to miss a work's day to drive 300km and take the
monitor there. After three months, they said the repair was not
economically viable and they would refund me, what happened three
months later... Meanwhile, I was using my old, stained, bulky and
reliable 15" tube samsung monitor, which is what I'm using now. Only
once it had a little trouble (powering itself off), the repair was so
ridiculously cheap that I wanted to pay the repair man (from an
independent one-man-operation shop) twice what he charged me... Of
course I payed only what was on the bill :-) I had nothing but good
experience with samsung and terrible experience from lg! So, I advise:
steer clear of lg products! <g> I am considering getting a new lcd
monitor and it will be, 90% sure, samsung...
