karpmail2.... July 27th, 2011
R.I.P. Oct. 2008-July 2011
Purchased at Costco for about$600 I thought it was a good deal. When it worked the picture was decent when attached to a hd dvd player. Some hd content from cable was ok but standard tv seems worse on this tv than others. The remote is very sensitive and trying to enter ch 2 for example could result in 22 or 222. Soon afterwards I'd notice that, once in a while, right after turning it on, if you pressed volume or channel, the tv would completely freeze, and you'd have to go press the power button on the set to turn it back off and on to get it to work. Some channels showed white lines on the top of the screen, and it seems to have about a second delay of blank screen when changing channels. Purchased Oct. of 2008 and completely died July of 2011. After a long wait for customer service their suggestion was to plug it into a different outlet and hold on to the on button as if any one couldn't do that without being on hold for 10 minutes. Then their suggestion was that they had no suggestions for repair services but that I'd have to find one. It took a price of 172.90 to get it back to bad as new so it was not quite a deal at all. Wouldn't have done it except a friend with an even crappier tv wanted it for that much despite the description.
