amazon.com hdtv support

Hi all,

I'm just about to pull the trigger on the Samsung LNT-3242h from Amazon.com. However, I do have one concern ordering from them. Does anyone know if a warranty is void if I purchase from them? It's technically not a "certified Samsung dealer." I was told by a Best Buy employee that Samsung can refuse to repair the product if purchased from a third-party, which in this case, Amazon is. Any ideas anyone? Anyone ever buy a set from Amazon.com?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Also, maybe try looking at some places like Onecall.com or Vanns.com

Here's your tv at Vanns:

It's $999, but there it's still free shipping and "no tax". If you have to pay tax at Amazon then the price difference might might be $55 in the end. So what do you get paying $55 more? First, Vanns is authorized, and they include this nice Harmony remote for free http://www.vanns.com/shop/servlet/item/features/410085845

Look at Vanns.com store rating here, you can't go wrong ordering from them compared to Amazon:

Samsung will honor a Warranty on a TV purchased from Amazon.

Thanks guys. I did get a reply from Samsung saying that they would honor the warranty as long as the set is new and arrives unopened, which it is (not refurbished). So, I suggest people consider Amazon when purchasing a set. Well, a Samsung set anyway. My dealings with Amazon have always been great and they really do have low prices. In this case, I bought the LN-T3242H for $890. That's $60 cheaper than the list price at American - the cheapest retail store I could find with it - and that does not include tax. I paid no tax or shipping with my Amazon set. Yay!
