Wow this tv lasted a whole year
 

My fault, Sanyo junk owned maybe a year on power strip
52 INCH LCD Black screen No sound ,Green power light blinks on and off, checked another tv, other tv worked fin on DTV box....

Theres about 1000 bucks thrown in the trash....

Could somebody recommend a nice tv.... 52-55 inch that will last more than a year?

What is your budget?

I got money, just tired of throwing it away.... Fire away, would like to not spend a mint on a TV though

Sears has a nice Panny 54" plasma for under a grand....

hmmm lemme go look thanks

Personally I would go with a Samsung because they have a quality product that you can expect to last for 10 years.

I think a lot of people here like Sony too.

You know if you had bought it on your AMEX you could have gotten a free extra year on it's warrenty!

:D

(ok you know I had to!)

I have loved my sharp aquos for four years now. But if I had a bitch it would be the volume but I am hooked up to yamaha surround.

Plasma...Costco....go shop

Samsung.

You won't regret it.

Probably upset about having having to show the Autumn Wind.

Probably just the power supply/converter, you can get that fixed.

Nice move, genius.

Have you sent Dave Ramsey an email yet telling him to **** himself?

Deal at Best Buy
Samsung LN55C630 55" 1080p 120 Hz LCD HDTV $1000 + Free store pick-up

if it's gonna cost 500 bucks I will just get a new one.....

Haven't you got a porn video to shoot or something?

thats a good price

Yeah and your wife, daughter and mother are waiting.

I'd better hop to it.

Once a scumbag , always a scumbag...

Probably wouldn't cost that much, but maybe a couple of hundred, I dunno, depends on who you can find to do it.

If I bought a TV larger than 32", I would consider the extended warranty if the store offers it, for just this reason. (My parents bought a giant LG, 50" or 60", at Brandsmart. They bought the extended warranty. I told them they wasted their money. Until less than a year later, the converter fried. Someone came out, took it apart, ordered a converter, came back in a week, put it in, TV works fine again.)

Is that what your were told the day you were released from prison?

I will call around tomorrow and see... thanks

I'd buy the Samsung C650 rather than the C630, as it has the capability to play Netflix directly through the TV if you have it connected to the internet.

sweet..... we like Netflix here

Do not ever do this.

Extended warranties are one of the only ways that stores make up gross margin. It's not your job to needlessly give them money.

Would you buy insurance if you were playing blackjack at $1000 a hand?

I know, I was not going to start an argument though :thumb:

Samsung, Visio or Sony.. But honestly if it is a year or under it is under warranty.. If over a year you could probably still get it worked on for free with an email to their corporate office..

I think I bought this TV in May of last year.... from what I have been reading, Sanyo customer service sucks

Funny that would shit out on you in such a short amount of time. I (knocking on serious wood here) have had really good luck with HDTVs, including the Protron 32" that we bought back in 2004.

Of course, the 42" we bought a few months ago is a Sanyo. Now I'm a bit nervous.

This is in the neighborhood of a grand, and won CNET editor's choice award. A couple months ago it was on sale at dell.com for about $1,099. This is what I was going to replace my TV with, and I was about 5 seconds from pulling the trigger on it, but thought I'd wait until my 4 year old 50" Samsung DLP goes belly up for good. It seems like a good value for the money, however, I don't know what's out there now, and 47" is the largest available.

Well, given what's currently happening in Japan, Customer service may not be as sharp as usual, whatever usual happens to be.

Panasonic bought a controlling share of Sanyo a while back, and I think they are going to whack the brand in the next year or so.

NTTAWWT

On a power strip too..

Good luck to ya, who the hell do you call to get a tv like this fixed nowadays anyway?

Don't see many TV shops around anymore

Just email Dave Ramsey. I'm sure he has all the answers.

You can get a 4" screen TV at radio shack for less than $100 .That should fit well during football season with Al Davis's pea sized brain.

Damn dude, that sucks. :(

(Though I can't help but mention that my primary credit card automatically extends manufacturer warranties for an extra year...)

EDIT: Heh...I see I wasn't even the first to go down that road. Oh well.

Now... I got a kick out of this.

Don't care about your credit card and since I don't use them, I have plenty of cash in which I can buy another and pay for it while you pay for yours 3 times on your credit card.... :thumb:

Three times?

LMAO

JFC, you're a reeruned, drooling ****ing Mongoloid with a crack habit.

As I've mentioned multiple times, I never carry balances on my credit cards, so that statement's simply false. Regardless, I'm not in the mood to get into this again, so good luck in finding a new TV.

Better known as a Raider fan.

Which one does that manufacturer warranty thing?

Fixed it for ya Mr. Daface

If I were up to my ass in debt, I would run from the problem too, that will make it go away :thumb:

For what it's worth:

I went to a Sanyo consumer complaint site. Apparently, the problem you have is very common to Sanyo TVs. One person called it a panel board problem, another called it a PCB board problem, and others left it unnamed.

It generally seemed to run $200-$250 to fix, with no promise that it won't happen again.

You forgot to mention his oversized vagina from all those years in prison while being hosed with 45 pound weight bars as his family watched and cheered.

Quite a few do it I think, but the one I currently use the most is a Discover Escape card. It also saved my ass recently because they automatically give you the Collision Damage Waiver insurance that car rental companies try and get you to buy. I hate those things, but took a rock to the windshield on a business trip.

I still don't have any idea where you got this idea that I'm in debt. :shrug:

Thanks for the info.....

What would you do? Buy a new one or fix the old one?

I know you are in debt because you are always the first one to defend using a credit card. It's like a drunk that does not think he is an alcoholic.

I just bought a Samsung 55 inch plasma, 1080, all bells and whistles. Super sale at Nebraska Furniture Mart for 650. Beautiful picture. 4 year warranty etc.

Everyone's in debt.

Didn't you get the memo?

That was a steal

$650? **** off! :)

Think of the $250 as rental money. Would you pay $250 to rent that TV for 1-3 years? The way advances are happening in televisions today, that's a call that can go either way, IMO.

I hate that hard sell shit you have to go through when you rent a car. My company uses National, thankfully, we "skip the counter" all the time and don't deal with that crap. I think our contract with National has us protected from those types of accidents. But when we have to use another service, I usually just say yes, whatever, give me whatever you want and let me get the hell out of this airport.

I thought all credit cards automatically gave you rental car insurance like that, almost every article I've read praising credit cards lists the rental car insurance as a reason. But the asshole at Enterprise or whatever one time told me my credit card didn't cover anything. I felt like he was lying to me there, but I just bought the insurance anyway to get the hell out of there.

Are you related to googlegoogle?

You know what Daface, I have that receipt right here and I bought that TV on my Visa card on a Saturday in May because the bank was closed...

I did pay it in full as soon as the bill came in though...

And you're a ****ing toothless moron.

I haven't paid for a hotel room in more than a decade. I've stayed at 4 and 5 star hotels in Italy, Tahiti, Hawaii, Mexico, Rome, Florence, Venice, Munich and many stateside hotels during that time.

Why?

Because I charge EVERYTHING to my credit card and let is work for ME.

But of course, you're far too ****ing reeruned to understand the concept, which is why you're stuck with a $1,000 dollar, piece of ****ing shit TV that's broken after one year.

LMAO

ROFL

Trash it?

A lot will, but mine's specific benefit is that it's a primary insurance coverage rather than secondary. With secondary, you have to submit it to your own insurance first. With primary, you just submit it to Discover and they take care of it.

Then the only difference between you and me is that I do that for as many purchases as I can because I want the rewards.

I don't think that's the only difference

His brain ain't right!

I do too, I do it on a perkstreet.com debit card and get 2% back on everything I buy now.... No fees, No interest EVER

Steal, that is a word associated with raiders. You just answered your own question :thumb:.

What an idiot ! Debit cards take your money straight from your account. A credit card gives you 30 days to pay for it in full. Personally I've used the 0% credit card offers for over 25 years and NEVER paid a lick of interest. People that pay cash for everything and have to resort to debit cards are for the most part people that have no discipline.

Just a warning: this has been discussed around here ad nauseum. He won't ever agree, so I'd suggest not wasting your time.

I don't live from paycheck to paycheck dumbass, why do I need 30 days?

Didn't you recently say you had a 6 figure bank account? You are exactly the person who would benefit from using a credit card as often as possible, to get more interest on your money that's just sitting there. I don't think you're a toothless moron, or whatever Dane said, but if you can't distinguish between credit card debt that you intend to pay off in full when the bill comes, and bad debt that can't ever be paid off because of poor judgement/purchasing decisions, maybe I should reconsider.

I wonder how much perkstreet is making off of your required $5,000 dollar daily balance...something tells me it's more than 2%.

You brought the damn subject up, don't run off like a bitch when it gets heated.

Finally, dude, that was spoken about as well as anyone here has ever posted... I can tell you are a really smart guy and I am sure Perkstreet is making money or they would not be in business... but to be completely honest, the reason I do not use credit cards is because I don't have to... I bank a few thousand every month and still do everything I want to do... I don't need to make more money and I just don't borrow money and that's the bottom line... Don't believe in it, hold no grudge against whomever does, it's just not for me...

Will I need to one day? Who knows what life will hold later on.... I hope not though..

If it hurts to be stupid, I can't imagine the pain and agony that R8ers must endure each and every day.

fyp

Smart people like Daface pay their balance every month so it isn't an issue.

I getcha, but in these days, you have to admit that attitude puts you in the extreme minority. But you are definitely not the first person I've met that thinks like that, so to each his own. I can't help but think of my boss, who also banks about what you do a month, but at the same time hasn't paid for a vacation in who knows how long (between credit card rewards and business trips accumulating FF miles). The best of both worlds.

I'm not trying to knock your financial methods, because honestly you're in a better position than I am because of them, it just seems unreasonable, IMO, to be so debt averse, when it has several positive qualities, and you can clearly pay it off every month. But, again, to each his own.

What the **** is wrong with you?

I may one day get me one of those fancy shiny cards and get some points racked up , who knows.... I have a Visa card and I used it to buy that TV as I said earlier because the bank was closed but it makes me feel sick to my stomach to owe anyone anything.....Thats why I paid off the house, I also refuse to sign contracts at phone companies as well...

I live like less that 2% of the population as far as statistics go if you believe them, I guess I am just weird :thumb:

That's because you don't even have a job. You probably steal autos for a living.
