Samsung forum: Samsung is baller status

the reason they got the cash is because of selling top quality products. ive owned two samsung TVs, last one broke but after 5 years of use. I havent got a new TV yet but plan on a sammy model 4sho. LG is in no way same as Sammy. Lucky gold star is wack.

you're just mad u got a broke defect model. dont hate on all the innovative stuff sammy has. compare their TVs to any other out there. Since we all know the performance is top notch.... in the design department?? if rolex had a TV, they would pick Sammy.

u asked what my old Sammy was? it was the HPT-5084 plasma 50 inch. It was like almost 5 grand when i bought it and was still better than current tvs before it broke.

5 years for a plasma is hella long. so thats 1 grand a year. a little over 80 bucks a month i was more than happy tto pay. why what tv do u own? please lets see what weak lil box u have.

I think you are riding LG's nuts way too hardcore. At CES Sammy had the best presentation. The SUPER OLED Design was killer and the guy who presented it spoke good english unlike your daddy.

Sammy fan, LG enthusiast duking it out. Always amusing to see. I can't help but fixate on the immaturity of Benz's comments. A tad bit of obscurity to ones intellectual competence when securing a favorable response would seem beneficial to you when posting lad.

He does sound like holmes, or even Watson haha. But back to this topic, regardless of whether Samsung invests 40 billion or 100 trillion, currently LG's TVs look more promising than Samsungs line up for 2012. All the "Smart Ecosystem" stuff just looks sort of "rubbish" to me.

So when did this convo become a topic of how I type. Anyways, you guys are hating because i'm going to buy the Super OLED TV when it comes out in the summer. You can have ur hella wack LG.

digitalapex,

We offer a 3 month warranty extension for free if you register on the Samsung page (at least, that applies to U.S. customers - not sure about other regions).

If your TV broke a week out of warranty, I'd be interested in looking into your case.




To everyone else,

I'll continue to enjoy this online spat as much as the next person, but I was at CES and I saw both booths. Both companies are major players, and I even have a few personal friends that work for LG. I have absolutely nothing but respect for our competitors. Let's make my stance on this point perfectly clear:

Both companies unveiled several new ideas, and several technologies that the other did not. To completely generalize and categorize one or the other as "wack" or "baller" is about as extreme as I've seen so far, and resembles "sucks" vs. "rules" arguments. All you're doing is flaming the other person by means of generalizations. If that's what you're going for, I'll interrupt no further.

Okay, so one's LED looked brighter than the other. I thought ours were amazing. They were thin. The colors made headlines. LG made some too, and they looked really good too. They had a huge 3D wall that was impressive, and some of the new remotes looked really intuitive. See? I can say something nice about both companies.

LG is not "wack", and Samsung is not "wack" either.

Samsung had on display a TV that played two images at the same time with 3D glasses with mini-speakers. This allowed two people to watch and listen to two different shows on the same TV at the same time. I thought that was pretty cool. Will it be available this year? Only time will tell.

We re-introduced tubes into some of our audio products. If you're an audiophile, you know how cool that is.

If you wanted a camera built in on some TVs for Skype or face recognition for setting, we introduced that. And if you want to control your TV with gestures or voice, we introduced that.

Those are all pretty "baller".

Great. Now you got ME saying it, and I'm not even 100% what that means. Thank goodness for Urban Dictionary, otherwise I'd be wondering if I was going to get in trouble. At first, I thought it meant... well, never mind that.

My point is that every company has a demographic they are trying to reach. We may not appeal to every customer out there. If you're looking strictly at price, then we're probably not the company you're going to choose. If you're looking for features, value or innovation, then we're definitely what you're looking at. I can't speak for any other competitor specifically, since I don't know what their strategy is. They'd have to tell you that. But I think Samsung products reach a huge demographic, and the sales back that up.

I don't really care where this discussion goes, but I wanted to clarify the simplicity of "wack and baller" does not really give readers much to go by. If you want to be persuasive and debate it properly, let's stick to the technologies companies are offering, rather than resort to ad hominem attacks on brands.

And HereisJenna, you've been consistently Pro-LG for quite a while, considering your history of posts. I don't take any objection to that. (By the way, LG and Samsung have both made screens for iProducts). But what new features is LG introducing that makes you excited and loyal? Does anything Samsung announced recently that I mentioned above sound neat at all?

I hope I'm not merely spitting in the wind, but re-directing the topic so that actual discussion is had rather than what I've seen so far by both sides. There IS a middle ground, and that's where the discussion is most fun.

These are the ways the discussion will have meaning - and dignity, rather than Ford vs. Chevy-type brand campaigning. I hope that helps.

hereisjenna,


I guess pulling a Steve Wozniak about LG and Samsung would be a conflict of interest for you.



Not at all. I openly complimented LG on their OLEDs looking good and their improved remote control designs in my prior post.

No obligations. No duties. No conflict of interest. Just like you had kind words for the Galaxy S2. You didn't have to say that, but you did.

That's exactly what I meant by middle ground.

Strange, did you make a mistake in your post there?

I see that the post I linked to has now been deleted, as spam.

This is not cool at all.

Shame on the folks who are in this thread, with an exception of a couple of innocent bystanders. You know who you are.

Your posts, just like the one thread you started here in LG forum:
http://forums.cnet.com/7723-21568_102-554619/lg-55-inch-oled-tv-dedication-thread-buzz/

Are dishonest. Many of the member accounts here come from the same source or are all interrelated. I don't know who you are or what you are attempting to do, but this is considered shilling and we do not tolerate this in the forums!

I really hope you are not from LG, because this would reflect highly negative on your company's practices.

You are no longer welcome in our forums. Please tell your other friends or co-workers to cease and desist.
