Dear friends,..this is my first post here & i am already in a sort of stressful problem!
A few days ago, i purchased a 40"Samsung c530 LCD TV,....but unlucky me,i found out that i got a AUO AA02 AMVA Panel,rather than the SPVA SQ panels which i so much expected!
As is perhaps normal for these poor AMVA Panels, i found the pic quality very bad with multiple problems like light bleeding at RHS & LHS of the panel ,real bad viewing angles where colours particularly black seems drastically shift even with slight change of viewing angle/position,horrendous colour banding( which even my Cheap TN monitor never displayed, & worst improper colour & detail renderings in the shadow area( shadow black areas seem to always be filled with blue or red/brown colour!),mpeg noise, macro blocks & other artificats being displayed in high bitrate Hd/rip videos( which plays butter smooth with least display errors even in my cheap TN PAnel pc monitor),& that too after applying all noise controls in the tv. All these i found out in all the picture settings in default without any calibration & tinkering with all the settings & white balance in different picture modes ,hardly gave any positive results!
I have connected the tv by good quality hdmi cables & High quality Monster component cables,but the errors mentioned as above hardly makes any differences with the connection!
I am now really annoyed at such disgusting panel lottery strategies of samsung & how badly it affects a common customer,who at least expects a minimum set of quality standard from a internationally reputed brand with new technologies, pictures which my 11 year old 29"philips flat CRT flawlessly displayed!
Having now realised this panel/tv will never be able to satisy me proper,as i am quite a sucker of perfection...& my viewing profile is more in HD/FULL hd stuff,where i expected the maximum bang (than the regular digital tv/dth) & having wasted 1/2 lakh on this,i feel terrible now, thus making the tv unacceptable for me!...,& particularly when i'm supposed to keep the tv for next couple of years!
The Samsung service guys, upon call, did came today to look at the problems which is so much troubling me ..though they seem to understand & accept the problems do exist in principle (which i described above) & it's NOT just a mental fabrication of mine upon getting a AA02 AMVA Panel,...however they till now have NOT clarified what they would do in my case .But "IF" they do decide to change the Tv/panel, is there any sure shot way to get a GOOD/Best panels like the Samsung made S-PVA "SQ" Lot panels?.....i can afford to spend 10 or 15k more ,so will upgrading to a better model on a 6 series will automatically guarantee the good SQ panels!
If i get a replacement,as i convincingly requested/told them,...i would be willing 2 accept any other upgrade models but with SPVA(preferably SQ01) Panels only!
so, all in all, my main enquiry here is in which Samsung LCD/LED TV of 40",can i expect to get a GUARANTEED Samsung SPVA "SQ01" Panel?...or would have the highest chances of getting one?
so,plz help me out xperts & friends here with all your knowledge!..this is real important!!!
