Hi PK,<br /><br />We&#39;re sorry to hear that your screen was damaged upon unboxing and setup. Even when packaging appears intact, damage can occur in transit if the TV isn’t kept upright or is handled improperly. For example, laying the unit flat or tilting it during transport can lead to screen damage. <br /><br />Please know that we appreciate your patience during the exchange process. If there’s anything we can assist with, please don’t hesitate to call us at 1-800-SAMSUNG, available daily from 8AM - 12AM EST.
