They would if they wanted the sale
Actually, the sales guys at Best Buy were really shady about letting me try anything. "Sorry we don't have the remotes for any of these TV's" BS in my opinion
That's when I whip out my Dish 21.1 remote and type in 858 for Samsung, and change the input lolz
I bet their jaws would collectively drop to the ground!
Amoung everything else, this is the potential of the world we're heading towards becoming. Demanding, informed and able to do more without the help of others
I tell people they need to be the most informed consumer they can be. I felt like buying a TV shouldn't have been as stressful as this experience was.
There should be a way to hold a remote control in your hand, flip through menus, even try a different source before you buy. You're right- you have to pretty much DEMAND to be able to try the product. They're hoping you'll just walk in, drop $2000 and leave. And some people do, I'm sure. I'm extremely picky about PQ and I won't stand for a blurry picture on an appliance I spend a lot of $$ on.
One of the little turds working at a local BB actually laughed at me when I asked if they had any good old 1080p TV's. I shouldn't have to explain myself to a salesperson- they should show the customer what they want to see.
I could never work in sales.
LOL I carry a 21 remote in my van and use it to change inputs on customer TV's when they can't find their remotes.
Same here!!! lol in the cubby hole under the dash
Of course you memorize the most popular TVs.
Now I left the biz in 2010 and Samsung was not quite yet what it has become, but I still remember Sony as 500 (for sure) and, if I'm not mistaken, 501 was RCA and 502 was Zenith. Shows what were the most popular TVs at the turn of the century.
Too bad Samsung took the IR blaster out of their phones! There used to be no need to carry a remote around.
566 was Magnavox
If you knew those 4 brands, you covered 95% of the TVs out there.Sony is still 500. RCA is normally 650, but depending on how old it is, that can vary. Zenith is so hard, I use LG codes
Now it's Samsung, LG, Vizio, Sony, Emerson, Ensignia and Sharp566 was Magnavox
That was a brief, but handy, tool in the cell phone world.
I have the same problem with a new 32 inch TCL TV and a Wally Dish receiver. Did you ever find a resolution?
Have you calibrated your TV? I had a customer with a Samsung Mid-grade TV complaining about how bad the picture was so I Googled Calibrate that model and went through all the settings and the TV looked almost stunning when I was done.
