REVIEW UPDATED

New Rating: ****

My first set didn’t work as explained below. But, I will have to say that Amazon did a great job in refunding me. They make it very easy to return a faulty product and my credit card was reinbursed in a few weeks.

Round two:

I finally have a working set and I love it. This TV is made for the digital age. I use it with my computer, my XBox 360, I watch movies with it, and I could hook it up to cable if I wanted.

——————————–

I was so excited when I found this deal. This TV was exactly what I was looking for. I received it yesterday and it worked halfway through its first movie and hasn’t worked right since. It’s like it freezes or something. The picture stops and then slowly goes grey. When this happens I can’t even access the menu or adjust the volume. I have to just shut it off. If I let it “rest” for a few hours it will work for a few minutes and then go gray again.

I have to assume that my TV is a lemon, and if it worked I would give this item a much higher rating. I was very happy with the picture (while it was working), and set itself looks slick.

This TV does not work, not worth the good deal, February 3, 2006

I didn’t buy this from Amazon but I wanted to post a review. We got ours at Circuit City and either we got a Lemon or the TV is just made poorly. It worked great for the first few weeks and then I noticed that after watching for more than 2 hours the screen would go black. The Cable and everything else was fine but no picture. As the weeks went by it kept getting worse and worse in shorter amounts of time. Finally, my husband returned it to the store for a full refund. When we called Magnavox they told us we would have to ship it to them so they could refurbish it and we would have to pay for the shipping to Magnavox. Forget that, after paying good money for a product, it shouldn’t break after 2 weeks of use. Buy a different TV, this one was extrememly disappointing

TERRIBLE PRODUCT, February 25, 2006

I bought this tv over a much cheaper, generic tv with the same specs thinking the brand would mean quality. Boy, was I wrong!

The first one I bought was great and I loved it, until the screen went black the next day. Sound was fine, but no picture! Great!

So, I brought it baack to Best Buy and they replaced it free of charge, great! Well, I take it home and plug it in and, lo and behold, double vision! Wow, I’ve always wanted to watch a tv with a double image with an offset of about 2 inches!

Well, I took it back again and compared other tvs, but I figured maybe I just got two lemons. I got a third one, because third times a charm, right?

Wow, this tv is great! The picture is clear and it is very solid! I have it for about 2 months and the picture flicks on then goes black and I just get sound. A 0 radio!

This time, I want to go straight to the head honcho. So, I call an outsourced Magnavox tech guy, run through a generic checklist, and when nothing works I am told there is nothing they can do about it!

Well, Im going to try and see if Best buy will take back my third model and once and for all buy that generic one that must be far better.

DONT BUY THIS TV

(By the way, I didnt buy this from amazon, I was just so furious so I thought I’d post here)
