Toshiba REGZA 26LV47 26-Inch LCD HDTV with Built-in DVD Player

I purchased this unti from Costco.com. When I first got this unit in February 2008, shortly afterwards the power wouldn't turn on and the DVD players' yellow light kept flashing. The Toshiba warranty service center took it to the repair shop and I had to wait for 1 month to get it back. They had to upgrade the firmware to make it work. The TV broke again the 2nd time in October 2008 with the same problem and the Toshiba warranty repair center took it to the shop on Nov. 6 (they only pick up/deliver the unit once a week on Thursdays) and they told me this time they have to replace a board and the parts won't be in until Nov. 24. They cannot repair it until they receive the parts. So I am still waiting here to get my TV back.

My boyfriend and I called Toshiba customer service to see what options were available to exchange this "defective" unit, since it had broken with the same issue twice, we felt that the unit itself was defective, and therefore should be replaced not just repaired. The Toshiba service center would not do that, nor add an additional 1 year warranty to the unit as requested. The only compromise they would do is to extend the warranty for the duration of the repairs while the set was out of our hands. What if the unit breaks again the 3rd time with the same issue beyond the warranty period? Toshiba customer service told us that they don't even offer extended warranty for purchase. So if the unit broke again beyond the warranty period then I am out of luck. We're very disappointed on the Toshiba warranty policy.Buy Toshiba REGZA 26LV47 26-Inch LCD HDTV with Built-in DVD Player!

Panasonic TC-26LX70 26-Inch 720p LCD Flat Panel HDTV

Puchased this in December 07 to replace a 20" Panasonic tube TV (which still works great). I also purchased a Panasonic VCR/DVD Recorder. The two work excellent together through something called EZSYNC. It basically combines the two units into one logical unit, with one remote control. The quality is excellent, especially with non HD channels. It appears to "upvert" the standard analog pictures to at least 480P (DVD quality). It's hard at this point comment on one component (the TV), but I will say the tuner is excellent, as well as the picture and sound. I could not ask for anything better except for 1080i, but for this size, it would be difficult to notice the difference, and even then, there would be no difference unless you were watching BlueRay.Buy Panasonic TC-26LX70 26-Inch 720p LCD Flat Panel HDTV!

Sharp LC46SB54U 46-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV

I purchashed my Sharp in September - and it died on New Years Day! It only lasted 5 months! (I hadn't even finished paying for it!) After emailing and calling Sharp - they agreed it was covered under the warranty (Duh! only five months old!!) and forwarded my info to a local repair place. This local place has a rating of "F" with the Better Business Bureau!! There are complaints regarding the quality of this local company's service all over the internet! (The only other place I could choose from was over 600 miles away! Stupid, isn't it??) This place ordered parts without even seeing the TV and actually seemed surprised when those parts (that they eventually showed up with) - (two different parts) didn't work! Now I'm waiting on inverters. Who knows if that will work on my brand new TV. My suggestion - research before you spend your money! Don't buy Sharp!! There are cheaper brands that provide better products and better customer service!!!Buy Sharp LC46SB54U 46-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV!

Sharp Aquos LC37D43U 37-Inch 720p LCD HDTV

Bought an LC-37D43U from Sears in June of 2007, impressed by competitive price and picture quality in the display room. First purchase of large flat-screen TV.
Brought TV home and set it up, TV worked fine. Used in home environment, not abused or used extensively, half-hour to an hour some evenings, kids cartoons on Saturday morning, also hooked up to DVD player. Not a heavy TV-watching household.
Forward eighteen months to January 2009, TV is playing daughter's DVD and goes black, completely inoperative. Take it to Sharp authorized service center, diagnosis is fried Main Board, [...] parts and labor to fix.
Called Sharp.usa Aquos Advantage service to see if they would comp the new board, cost $280, I felt main component should have been more robust, eighteen months to failure is pretty short in my opinion.
No deal. No sympathy for out-of-warranty problems. Will consider more upscale brand for next purchase, will also consider extended warranty, these electronics are looking pretty fragile. Sharp Aquos LC37D43U 37-Inch 720p LCD HDTVBuy Sharp Aquos LC37D43U 37-Inch 720p LCD HDTV!
