This is useless. There’s no option to choose the color of the frame or add a stand, both of which are included in the price if the TV is purchased new. Buying them separately eliminates the cost-savings of a refurbished unit.

These are refurbs, so I wouldn’t expect to get to customize it. They do include a black bezel.

Hi there. The stand is included. The bezels are not included with this when new. It’s a separate add-on.

This stand that is:

The link to the specs on the 32” is busted.

Well Folks, good luck!
I received my frame today and the screen has an obvious 1"x2.5" spot on it before it is even turned on. Looks like someone took a brillo pad to the screen. The box is absolutely falling apart, so this is going to be ‘fun’ to box back up and ship back, isn’t it?

The unit I received also is defective and it’s been an absolute nightmare.

I’ve spent hours with Samsung representatives over the phone and text message. They repeat to me the warranty expired last year. I purchased the unit about two to three weeks ago, received it this week, and as soon as I powered it on there were several defects on the panel.

The purchasing page from Woot says it’s covered by a 90 day Samsung Warranty.

I just talked to a “Case Manager” from the Samsung Exchange and Return team, and he said: “refurbished and reconditioned units aren’t covered under Samsung warranty”. I have a voice recording of it (with the permission of the Samsung agent).

Is Woot lying to us and committing fraud on the warranty status of this product?

Hmmm. Weird. Send them to me in private message and I’ll get them to CS for you.

To private message me, click on my name and then click on Message in the box that pops up. To check your PMs, click on your avatar in the upper-right corner of any page and then click on the envelope in the menu that appears.

Customer Support has not been helpful at all. They still haven’t provided any clarification on why Samsung is telling me there is no warranty on the unit, despite the Woot product listing displaying a “90 day Samsung warranty”.

It feels like Customer Support is just buying time at this point. I don’t know what else to think but so far it feels like plain consumer fraud.

I spent almost $3k on this defective TV that is worthless to me at this time. My living space is a disaster because I don’t know whether I should throw away the massive shipping box it came with.

I’ll think twice before buying anything expensive with Woot again.

Customer support is telling me I can call them via the “call us” feature, but I can’t find any phone number listed anywhere in their email or in the app.

I’m very sorry. Let me ask for an update. It’ll likely be Monday before I hear back.

Update: you should have been contacted by Samsung now.

Seeing this now. A Samsung partner that handles repairs etc (not Samsung) called me today about the TV. They said the service would “come at a charge”… I terminated the call, this should be covered by the warranty at no cost to me. This is still not resolved.

Also I still have not heard back from Woot’s Customer Support.

Hello again. Sorry Samsung can’t get their act together. I did see another email from Samsung that your warranty is showing on one system but not another. They’re trying to figure that out. I think they’ll be in contact with you again soon.

Woot CS hasn’t contacted you because they’re letting the vendor and Samsung resolve it.

I have been in contact with Samsung since my tv was delivered and they are refusing to honor my 90-day warranty that came with the tv. I have verified on the Samsung account that the tv is under warranty and I was on the phone for two hours with their customer service. They said that since I am further than 100 miles away from an “Authorized Service Center” that they can’t repair the TV AND that they won’t offer a replacement because it’s refurbished. What am I supposed to do now? Can I exchange it with Woot?

Thanks pepper! I have no idea what’s going on but I was escalated twice and they essentially said because I live where I do the warranty is not valid, which is discrimination. Then they laughed at me.

Yeah that’s just not right at all.
