JVC Complaint - Poor Product Quality - TV
TV - Complaint
JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA -- I am very disappointed in JVC's 32" Flat Screen TV. This $600 unit is currently in the shop being repaired for $275 for "internal equipment failure". This TV is not even 2 years old, but of course out of the 1 year warranty period. While that TV is being repaired, we are watching our 17 year old 19" Toshiba TV, which has NEVER had a problem. I just wanted to warn potential buyers of this product to the "disposability" factor!

I have a Hitachi TV that is 20 year old. Got it in Korea. They do not make them like they used to.

A lot of things can lead to premature failure in home electronics - besides shoddy construction. One of the biggest factors is heat. All electronics, but particularly TVs and Amps need what's know as "adequate airspace" or ventilation around the unit. If your unit was in some sort of entertainment case or cubby hole, it may have suffered from this type of heat damage. Your technician should be able to determine this so you can avoid this problem in the future. Also, consider a surge protector. So many consumers think to put such devices on their home PCs, but then don't realize that a lightning strike/surge on the line could just as easily damage a TV or other appliances. Lastly, it's like the old saying, "they don't make 'em like they used to!"

Well maybe that’s why JVC stands for Japan Victrola Corporation and not Japan Video Corporation. Thanks for the heads up!
