Yes, and it’s not wor­king as it should, it has sorta “scan­li­nes” when wat­ching tv from the Deco­der, or when wat­ching the TV out­put., but not when wat­ching  from the DVD through com­po­nent cable, or the PS2.

I tried a few things to fix that up, none worked.

So I called the 800-SAMSUNG (alt­hough the last G is for bluff, 800 num­bers in chile are with 6 digits).

And below is my experience:

Some very cor­po­ra­tive spea­king central-american called Brian picked up, right after I called (very polite). I explai­ned my issue the best I could, he took some infor­ma­tion like my name, pro­duct I had, date of pur­chase, etc. He told me my Cus­to­mer Num­ber, then for­war­ded my call to someone else, more spe­cia­li­zed in the area.

I barely had to wait and some other central-american picked up. I thought he was gonna do very anno­ying tests and wor­ka­rounds to have my issue ID’d or fixed, since he was the “specialist.

I know how it works, I work at that, right Alex?

But sur­pri­sin­gly, he didn’t. He just limi­ted to con­firm some infor­ma­tion Brian had asked me, asked some other and sche­du­led a tech visit. Well, he actua­lly didn’t sche­dule the visit, he sche­du­led the call to sche­dule the visit.

Then he gave me my Report num­ber, and then he wai­ted until I hung up.

It might sound very bureau­crat but at the moment everyt­hing was very nice and fast.

The second per­son told me a Tech should be calling me in the next 48 hours. He did in 25 minutes.

A tech is gonna stop by my house tomo­rrow, (pro­ba­bly mor­ning), yet he’ll call again to confirm.

Then I’ll write the part.2.

I hope the pro­cess remains as plea­sant as it’s been so far. And he’ll change my tv for a new one, or fix the stuff, or tellme what’s going on so I can fix it myself.

You’ll know.
