My Lcd Tv Took A Dump!!!!!!!

[CORNBREAD]

Only 2 Years Old And Unfortunately I Never Purchases The Extended Warranty, Only Had 1 Year Manufactureres Warranty. Fuck!!!!!!!

I Was Watching The View This Morning When All Of A Sudden It Shut Off, Then When I Go To Turn It Back On, Nada. All I Get Now Is A Big Gray Spot In The Middle And A Vertical Line On The Bottom Of The Screen.

Where Can I Get It Fixed, If Its Worth It And How Much $$$ Am I Looking At? Or Should I Buy A New Tv. Who Would Have Thought This Piece Of Shit Lcd Would Only Last 2 Years. I Still Have A Sanyo 25 Inch Tube Tv In My Bedroom That I Bought From Walmart 10 Years That Works Excellent.

I GUESS NOW IS THE TIME TO GET A GOOD PRICE ON A NEW TV

Well your first problem is you were watching the View.

I just got a new Samsung LCD and I did get the extended warranty. I used to work at circuit city and I am not a believer in extended warranties, but when it comes to TV's, I make an exception.

I just got the Samsung LN46A650 and all my friends are amazed at how good it is compared to their LCD's and Plasmas.

Best Buy and Circuit City both have no interest financing deals so that is worth looking into. I like DLP TVs. Not wall mount small but very good for their size.

BTW, Elisabeth Hasselbeck is hot so watching the View from time to time is ok.

It might be worth a service call to diagnose the problem. Then decide if it's worth it. It might be something simple like a fuse.

Call the manufacturer, they can/will point you to their closest service center, or another certified(for your particular make tv) service center for an estimate. When my plasma blew up(1 freggin month after the ext.war.) thats what I did, told the guy during the estimate if it gets to be $1500+ to fix, stop, put it back together and I'll pick it up. Needless to say it ended up in the dumpster. G'luck.

That sucks man...I am still not convinced about the longevity of the lcd technology. Panasonic Plasma gets my vote....(watch mine blow up tonight lol!)

Not sure if you have DVR (tivo) but when you pause live tv, and leave it there for a few minutes, does your color start to darken? Mine does, and I can only think that this happens simply as a prevention device for burning. It goes back to full color & brightness once I turn the unit off and then back on again.

Unit: 42" Hitachi Plazma

I would try to find out what it is first before running out and buying a new TV, especially if its only 2 years old...might be something simple
