Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Samsung DVD-1080P7 Up-Converting 1080p DVD PlayerCustomer Review: Samsung is an Awful Company and Has No Concern for the Consumer Summary: 1 StarsI would never recommend buying a Samsung DVD player (much less any of their products) to anyone. Here's why: I recently (about 18 months ago) bought a VERY expensive, top-of-the-line DVD player made by Samsung at Circuit City long before anyone knew they would file for bankruptcy. I purchased an extended warranty, and the player (DVD R-160) came with a 1-year warranty of its own. I felt that it was important to purchase a Samsung so that it could "talk" with my new Samsung HDTV (which it never actually did that well), so I ended up splurging and buying a $250 model.
After a paltry 18 months, this player stopped working (it was skipping a lot before this, so the optics probably just got dirty). I called Samsung, and they said that I needed to get a cleaning duster spray (the kind used for computer keyboards) and squirt it in the drive to clean off the optics. I did this, and nothing changed. So, I shipped it back to Samsung with a business letter saying that I needed my faith in their company restored, and that a product this expensive should not have lasted for such a short period of time.
I received a call back from Samsung a week later asking me for $81 and change to fix the DVD player. Eighty-one bucks to clean off some optics? They told me that if they didn't hear from me in four days they would ship the product back to me.
I called them back and told them that I would have to be a supreme idiot to pay an extra $81 on a product that shouldn't have worn out that quickly in the first place. They parroted back to me some complete drivel about their company policy, which is apparently to rip consumers off further with repair costs, after selling them crummy electronics. I told them they had a choice: return my DVD player fixed, free of charge, or I would never patronize their company ever again.
After a week, I received a $30, bottom-of-the-line "DV" player that doesn't even have HDMI inputs, and is completely useless for watching movies on my HDTV. While any other electronics company would have given in to my demands (I know, I've done this before: Magnavox, Phillips, and Sony have even returned stuff they fixed for me, free of charge), Samsung in all their infinite wisdom once again took me for an idiot. Now I have a big plastic paperweight.
So, I'm writing this to any consumer so that they know what they're getting into when they buy Samsung: a company with substandard customer service that will use every excuse to part you from your hard-earned cash, and that doesn't make their products very well in the first place. They will treat you like a fool from the start to the end of your transactions with them, and they know absolutely nothing about the all-important adage of business: "the customer is always right."
