Hi Guys,
Is the samsung warranty reliable? Also does anyone have any experience with the Reliance warranty ResQ ? Their offerings seem to be better than Samsung's? Between the two which one do you suggest is better? Any advise will be appreciated.
Thanks

Problem: Since last week the HDMI connection with PC is acting weird. The TV screen keeps blanking every few seconds and it has become impossible to view any content via PC HDMI. I know this is known issue but the frequency is too high.. The same setup was running fine till few weeks back, with few blanks every 15-30 mins. Any suggestions?
Samsung is more relible. Trust me!!
Reliance anyways would contact Samsung in case they need spairs.
Reliance is also known for false commitments & bad pracitices across the industries they operate in. Had it been Croma, I would have still said yes.
Samsung CC has been excellent and have replied to all my communications till date without fail. Even called me 5-6 times in case of an email with just a query.

I am sure most of the FMs who purchased plasma have faced the same question from sales person. I have faced too.!
Please have a demo and if possible check the similarly priced LEDs side by side.

Issue with 3D glasses
I was one of the earliest buyer of this excellent plasma in May 2013. So far I have been extremely happy with the set. I use it mainly for movies, games and watching news channel. Tried the 3D few times in the early days and was very impressed as well. Recently after a long gap I decided to try the 3D again. However after switching 3D mode on the TV when I tried to switch on the 3D glasses there is some red light blinking on the glasses and nothing happens. First I though battery issues so replaced them with brand new ones; but same results. Now I have 4 separate 3D glasses and face the same problem with all of them. I just can't believe that all 4 of them has gone kaput
. So anybody else ever encountered this kind of issue?

Plasma indeed is a dead technology - there would not be any further development to this in consumer space. But why should that stop you from enjoying what we have now? Plasma still gives the best Picture quality at the same price band, and I have not yet mentioned in a bigger size. The fact that Plasma would stop in near future should be the motivation to get one while you still can. I was never in this dilemma, hence no sales guy was ever able to convince me with their garbage talking - I was very clear in wanting only a plasma. Most showrooms would not have the F5500 Plasma, hence the folks would try to sway you to LED.
There are two ways you can handle this scenario - either take the safe route and buy what everybody is buying - LED, in most cases you would enjoy your TV. Or you decide to be thrilled (at the same price point) by the TV, and choose a Plasma. The choice is yours. I can only tell you that buying a Plasma was a no-brainer for me, and I am absolutely loving it.

No dealer in Kolkata has this model. Have to go for something else.
Only plasma alternate is LG Pb6600 :/ Very sad. What to do guys!

Keep looking.. Call vendors and don't limit till your neighboring area.... It us still very much in production..
For excellent sound that won't break the bank, the 5 Star Award Winning Wharfedale Diamond 12.1 Bookshelf Speakers is the one to consider!
