Samsung - Samsung monitor NOT working as advertised and claimed

The Samsung M* monitor is NOT working as stated by the demo giver, as quoted by technician and as written in the web advertisement.

The advertisement and claims in the Samsung India website were my deciding factors to buy this monitor. It was also stated by the demo giver that, it is highly suitable as Work from Home Monitor, compared to LG, HP & DELL Monitors.

The monitor is either faulty in software/hardware or not as per the advertised claims in Samsung.com.

Here are the facts based on the samsung website used to purchase the product :

The technician visited and had no clue about the claims in the website. And he was unable to demonstrate.

He said, the monitor will work perfectly as a TV. While asked about the working with PC (Windows or iOS based), he is clueless and told it will not work.

Post his visit, the Service Request was closed as if the problem is resolved. I have been escalating and waiting for resolution.

It is very unfortunate that, the team (Samsung Customer Care and Samsung Shop) did not reply to may mails and indicate the present state of my compliant.
