Have You Experienced Samsung Plasma TV Defects?

Customers allege that they have experienced major Samsung plasma TV defects, resulting in premature device failure. If you have experienced Samsung plasma TV defects after purchasing the device in Florida or New Jersey, you may be able to join a Samsung TV class action lawsuit investigation.

Samsung Plasma TV Defects

Samsung plasma TV defects reportedly affect Samsung devices manufactured between Jan. 1, 2009 and Nov. 30, 2014, placing these devices at risk of early failure. Of course, televisions aren’t expected to last forever, but they are generally expected to last for at least eight years of regular use. However, customers claim that devices with these Samsung plasma TV defects may fail far earlier.

Plasma televisions need more energy to run effectively than LCD and LED televisions do. Some purchasers of Samsung plasma TVs say this extra energy puts extra stress on the TV’s internal components, which can heat the parts up too much for the device to function. Indeed, too much heat can damage the components so much that the TV ends up failing years before it should.

According to Samsung customers, their plasma TVs failed early because of Samsung plasma TV defects involving inferior component parts that heated up and failed too easily. Customers claim that the use of inferior component parts was an attempt by Samsung to sell their plasma TVs more affordably. Samsung plasma TVs ranged in price from $600 to $5,000, and were more expensive to make than LCD or LED TVs.

Filing a Lawsuit Over Samsung Plasma TV Defects

Samsung plasma TV defects have previously prompted litigation. So far, at least three class action lawsuits have been filed against the company by disappointed customers.

In February 2018, an Illinois couple filed a class action lawsuit against Samsung over alleged Samsung plasma TV defects. Proposed Class Members included in that lawsuit were Illinois residents who had purchased TVs manufactured between January 2009 and November 2014 which prematurely failed due to Samsung plasma TV defects.

According to that lawsuit, Samsung used inferior component parts in order to make the device more affordable, which then led to premature device failure. Unfortunately, many consumers found that they could not repair the devices that suffered from Samsung plasma TV defects because the components had become unavailable after manufacture of these devices ceased.

One man alleged that his plasma TV began failing before his warranty period was up, turning off and on at random and eventually becoming unusable just a few years after he made the initial purchase. Though he attempted to have the TV repaired, he found that the repairs would cost more than the TV itself had cost in the first place.
