Sanyo 50" plasma DP50747 - Complaint
Review by jency70 on 2010-06-06
I purchased this TV 2 1/2 years ago. From the beginning the TV would turn off at random times. About a year later I had a hard time turning the TV on. The picture would mess up then the TV would shut off. I would have to turn the TV on and off 3 or 4 times until the picture was fine and the TV didn't turn off. I had to do this every time I would turn the TV on. This lasted for months until I turned the TV off and there was no picture only sound. It has been this way ever since. I can't believe that I spent so much money on a TV that only lasted for this long. My husband called the company about the problem and was told that we would have to get a technician to look at the problem and call them back. If I had someone come and look at the TV then I wouldn't need them.

you waited 2 1/2 years to address a problem with the TV?

Good question.

indeed.

I thought it was electrical when the tv would turn off on its own(it wasn't the problem). But when it got worse, I thought that maybe it needed to be moved to a warmer part of the room(an inside wall). That didn't work. So I didn't wait 2 1/2 years and then decide that I was going to complain. I couldn't believe that a tv that I paid $1200 for was the problem.

Electronics rarely have to be "warmer" to work better, unless you're keeping them at freezing temperatures.

The tv was by two windows that are not insulated at all. So it can get cold in that area. I think that it was wishful thinking that my tv wasn't the problem. I guess that I was wrong.
