Its just a matter of luck sometimes, anyway, here's a nice story,
a couple weeks back, one of my 75" panel went supernova, its that one white light on the left side of the screen.
TV is about 5 years old, and yes, I bought the 5 years extended warranty, expiry is on June 2020
So I flied the claim to Best Buy, saying panel has a dead bulb probably or whatever you call it,
so they sent in a tech guy to confirm the problem, first protocol is of course, order the panel for replacement.
But after 2 weeks, tech guy called me up and informed na wala na daw stock na panel for this model.
Gave me a number to call, which is the department that handles exchanges.
Best Buy was supposed to do an exchange, but decided that it would be too much of a hassle for both of us,
they ended up sending me $3400 credit and told me that I can keep the TV,...
Sweet,..! My kids wouldn't mind having a 75" TV on their study room even with that blimp,
it only shows on bright scenes, but they wouldn't notice it, that's for sure,
amazing warranty service from the shops here,..!
Am ordering an 85Q70R or 85Q70T QLED as replacement for that one,...
