226bw stock?

jazzy68 · 8 May 2007 at 09:37

Found a well known online store that has the 226bw in stock but they say it comes from Paris, will this still carry the full 3 yr uk warranty? need to get another monitor because i sold my 206bw. :rolleyes:

Samsung give you a 3yr warranty, you should be ok. Unless I'm incorrect?

I would be careful, it is probably a European model, and Samsung UK won't repair it if faulty, you need to send it back to France. You still get a warranty but will have to pay the delivery cost, not cheap as many people have discovered.
This site begin with 'p' by any chance ?

Careful

Hi there

If its the site that begins with a P then they are European based as is most of their stock.

With certain products you may have warranty issues which could be costly on shipping bills and time consuming.

Okay i'll steer clear from that then, yeah it begins with a 'p'

Hey Gibbo,

I received a 226bw from yourselves with no probs. S panel also so I am a happy camper!

However I noticed that there was a document inside the box that was only written in greek or some other language. The manual itself was multilingual.

I was looking for an equivalent UK version of this page but could not find it.

Im a bit worried that this might turn out to be a "European" version as you have been discussing in this thread.

Could you shed some light on this by any chance? The piece of paper with non English writing is square in shaped (about half an A4 page but folded to give 4 pages -like a brouchure).

Many thanks Gibbo.

The Samsung UK website says...

Samsung Electronics (UK) Ltd. support a product purchased in Europe if it has an EU Bloc Warranty. This warranty is present where the top of the product warranty card clearly states 'European Bloc.'

What does it say on your warranty card, Cava?

Well the warranty card is in english I think.
So i think thats no problem right?

Its just that other card which is in greek or some other language. Doesnt look like a warranty card but more like some kind of addendum instructions.

Im a bit concerned no one from OCUK have replied to this. Wouldve been nice. :|

Hi there

Well I've not personally opened one but our stock is sourced from UK suppliers who are stocked by Samsung UK. So all should be well, maybe they are just catering for Greek customers.

Hello Gibbo

Many thanks for the re-assurance!

By the way separate question. I ordered some stuff a while ago from OCUK for a rig back in October. But Ive mislaid the invoice for it. Would it be possible to call up and get another invoice (fax or email perhaps?) Or is that not possible?

Uh Gibbo, it seems I may have created two accounts here. Sorry about that! Could you delete at least one of em? (The Cavallino one would be the choice to delete please).

Why you sell the 206bw. I have just ordered one instead of the 226bw because the OcUk sales guy advised me that it would handle non native resolutions better. I hope I have not done anything I will regret.
