Samsung TV overheating and frame melting

My 50" Samsung LED tv started getting so hot in the corner that the frame started melting. Luckily I saw it in time and I immediately turned it off. I did some research on the internet and found a whole forum thread dedicated to this problem.

https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/TVs/Screen-overheating-and-melting-corner-of-TV-6300-series-LED/td-p/5436

I took it in to Samsung Service store and after inspecting they said they couldn't find any problem inside and insinuated that I did something to the tv. I asked them to please escalate it, but they do not want to believe me that this problem has occurred the other devices as well.

The tv set is about 4 years old, but I fear to think what could've happened if I was not at home! This is a serious safety threat, but it seams that Samsung does not want to accept responsibility.

I am planning to escalate this in whatever way possible, even if it is just to warn people to NOT buy Samsung tv's since the risk is too high!
