I have no idea how the warranty works. I can tell you my TV started getting lines across it after 2 years of minor use. Warranty not in effect. Its not worth the money you save by buying this TV. I replaced mine with a Samsung model.

I bought a UN46B6000 from warehouse deals. I bought the open box warranty from SquareTrade because it wasn't clear if the TV's 1 year manufacturer's warranty applied. When I got the tv and SquareTrade warranty, I found that I was covered by the manufacturers warranty, so now I have an extra year via Square Trade. I saved so much on the TV, and the extra warranty was so inexpensive, I am glad for the extra year.

YES. Especially nowadays buying something so expensive, always buy the extended warranty. I bought my A650 @ ABC Warehouse after haggling the guy down to 1680 + 400 for the 5 year warranty. At ABC, if your TV has no problems in those 5 years, they refund 200 back to you in in-store credit. I couldn't give you an answer on the prices without warranty, but you could either get the warranty and have Samsung fix/replace the TV, or not get the warranty and have Joe Schmo fix it for a lot of money (and with a bigger risk of having it fail again!) Don't buy if you don't have the money to go all out. And when you get the money to go for everything you want, there might be something out that's even better. YES.

My tv was just picked up! Called Samsung and got the same response they gave you - a repairman would come out and if it couldn't be fixed it would have to be sent away for service. As you, I did not think I needed to have a brand new tv sent out for repair and decided to return it. I am now watching my old 19" set (gave my 26" away when I got the Samsung!). Have you had any luck yet? I am considering Toshiba.

I purchased the extended warranty, $329 at Best Buy (for 52" 650) for 4 years. The reason I purchased this tv is because my 4 year DLP died, while the tv repair guy was out pronouncing the time of death on my DLP, I asked about LCD repairs. He said you are crazy not to get the warranty, if something, practically anything goes wrong, it is at lease $400-500 to repair it. The final reason I decided to get the warranty is that the technology continues to change and who knows if this stuff will last 3-5 years.

Rick H, It sounds like it will need service. Reach out to the Samsung customer service center to try some troubleshooting. If that doesn't work, they can set your TV up for a repair. Thanks for your support of Samsung products. --Mr. S

Hi Tim. I recently purchased the HLT6187S and am fully satisfied with the product! To answer your question: NO, I did not get the 5 year extended warranty that was offered to me for $500. If anything is defective in the TV it should manifest itself within the first month - if not the first few days - of operation, and within that time frame, you can make your judgment call on whether you should return the item or not.anyway, for more info on warranties and such, check out this link: http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-3000_7-6398085-1.htmlhope that was of help.

I purchased a refurbished one in December for about $1,200 including the shipping. When the tv arrived the power cord was not in the box. Samsung did send another one in about two weeks. Then when I got it hooked up the tv made a popping sound. The good thing is it was under warranty and it was fixed by replacing the main board. There were no cosmetic blemishes on the unit when we received it. If you don't mind having couple of possible problems, it will save some money. Other than that it is a great tv. Hope this helps with your decision.

I would venture to say the extended warranty is not worth the price. I have bought electronics over the years and have never bought an extended warranty and have never had any problems. Look at it this way, you are buying a quality brand like Samsung because it is a well made product and has a good reputation. If I buy anything Samsung or Sony, I feel comfortable enough with the quality that I won't pay extra for the extended coverage. There is a reason why you would pay more for a Samsung product as opposed to a cheaper brand like Vizio!!

The Warranty is for the original purchases only. Warranty repairs must be performed by a Samsung Authorized Service Center. Conditions covered are limited only to manufacturing defects in material or workmanship and only those encountered in normal use of the product. There wasn't any extended warranty offered at the time of purchase. You would probably need to contact Samsung for that and any other information about the warranty at 1-800-726-7864 or go on line at www.samsung.com. I would recommend calling them first.

I am a risk taker. I did not get any warranty. I have only had my tv a few months so can't tell you how well it will hold up. good luck sorry for no help

Like the other answers, it comes with standard 1 year warranty. I would suggest if you want specifics you either contact the seller or Samsung.Personally, I thing the Square Trade warranty is worth getting for the price so you might want to consider this if it's not too late.

I bought a five year warranty on my last tv, 55' and had it 4 years. It started giving me problems. I got this tv for the warranty. Even though my last tv was 1299, this was a much better tv. The warranty was worth the money.No problem with the warranty department and I did buy a new warranty with this tv also.

The only warrantee you can count on is the 30 day from Amazon. They will get you a replacement. Past 30 days, good luck. No help anywhere. I have had no problems with the TV. The Samsung disk players and 3d players are a different problem. Throw away after 30 days was the help I got. I replaced the 3d one with a high end Sony and working fine. They designed Blue ray. I prefer the Samsung TVs. Just check them over and try them out completely soon after purchase. I have set my TVs up to where I choose when to turn on the internet. Samsung still tries to introduce new products in the middle of a show, but not continually. The easiest hack into your house is through your TV. Can by pass all your security.

I registered my LN46B630 online with Samsung & just by doing so, they extended the warranty an additional 3 months. This was a few months ago so, I'm unsure if that offer would still be given.

I purchased this TV and did not buy the extended warranty. I've had it for 5 years and have not had any problems with it.
