No, they are literally taking the defective panel, boxing it back up and sending it out to their repair teams hoping that the next customer won't notice. The first panel had a yellow circle about twice the size of a quarter in the middle of the screen. If you only watched dark scenes it might have been harder to notice, but was still very visible. It was so bad even their own tech was laughing at how Samsung could have missed it. The second panel had a black vertical line going down the the left edge. The third panel was bent in the corner and was not even installable, yet the shipping box had no damage to it, so the tech said it came from the factory that way.

The tech said this is pretty much how Samsung does it. Keep in mind I'm taking a day off of work each time they want to attempt a repair with these trash tier panels. Samsung doesn't care about your time or how much you have to keep calling them back to coordinate between their main support team and the service center team because there's no communication between them at all. On top of the repairs, this has absorbed about 20-30 hours of my time (failure to communicate between teams, accidently cancelling or closing tickets out of nowhere, each time calling in to speak to a higher level team you still have to get through the hold times of the lower level teams first, never any callbacks, etc.). You are left to do all the leg work.

They will not exchange the TV if they have no inventory of the same model. Their policy states that they they can only exchange for the same model and that's after 2 repair attempts...except one problem, production of the model stops about half way through the model year, so once inventory runs out towards the end of the year, you won't qualify for a replacement and they won't give you the successor model either.

Then you have to hope and pray that they will give you a refund, which requires an investigation from a different team and takes even more time. This is the stage I'm at right now, I'm not even sure if I'll get one.

This entire "warranty" is beyond anything I've ever seen. This is an expensive TV and they treat you like a nobody, leaving you without a TV for months at a time. They simply do not care. I've never received any warranty support this poor from brands even like Hisense. It really has changed my opinion of Samsung as a brand.

Make sure you inspect your new panel thoroughly when it's installed. Samsung's "warranty" is trash. They will replace it with a refurbished or reconditioned panel, but will present it as new. I found this out the hard way when they came to install a new panel in my 85A (2021), all three replacement panels were defective. Even Samsung's own tech said many of them are refurbished/defective panels. I think they're hoping the next person won't notice the slight defects (mom and pops) so they can save a buck. Absolutely terrible service. I could write a book on the amount of BS they've put me through over the past month.

According to RTings this is the warehouse model of the QN90A and is exactly the same.

EDIT: I looked up the specs on Costco.com and it looks the same to me.

I bought the 50" on the last deal
It has some white spots across the screen. I called Samsung and sent them pictures and they are going to replace the panel under warranty
Based on what I understand that it is...the light reflectors in the panel...I am betting it got damaged in shipment

I guess I dont really care as long as it works well....in fact if its refurbished/reconditioned I assume they fixed the bugs?

Its been a while since I had a panel replaced under Samsung warranty
The last time the warranty replacement panel had issues and then they just sent me a new television
The tech told me Samsung would only replace a panel once under warranty. If that panel failed they gave you a replacement TV

maybe things have changed?

Ok..I guess I have had different experience

In the last 10-12 years Samsung has replaced 3 televisions under warranty with essentially the next model year replacement product

The last one being a F7100 that died that they gave me a KS8000 replacement due to replacement parets not being available

Years earlier with a Samsung plasma Tv they did the same thing. The panel was replaced once and when it had a line through it they gave me a new television
