Emerson TVs

I have had my Emerson 19" flat screen HDTV, purchased at Walmart for almost 3 years. Just recently, the setup menu keeps popping on and off when trying to watch the TV. I thought it might be the batteries in the remote, I changed them and it is still happening. Now a new issue as of last night. It is changing modes at will and the setup menu is flashing like crazy. ** is going on? The TV seems to be fine when I first turn it on. Then once it gets warmed up after about 1/2 hour, all this starts. Has anyone else had similar problems like this? What can I possibly do to correct this issue?

About 6 months to a year of having this TV, it had a black line vertical through the screen. About tonight after returning from eating out, 6 months to a year after that incident with the line vertical through the TV screen, we can not turn on the TV at all. It shows no picture!

My husband and I purchased this television in September of 2011 as a gift for our daughter's room. The television has picture but the sound keeps going up and down on its own. I am reading all of these complaints and don't even want to go through the hassle of dealing with Wal-Mart simply because things have gone to ** ever since Sam passed. Wal-Mart and Emerson need not worry about my business any longer!

I've had my Emerson 32 inch flat screen TV for a little over 2 years. When I first purchased the TV, I was told that Emerson already has a 2 year warranty, and if I wanted to extend the warranty, to pay $10.00 for a warranty from Wal-Mart. I've called both places, and neither one of them is trying to replace, or repair my TV. This is absolutely unfair that I'm sitting up with a TV that doesn't even show the full picture, due to it being a big ** black thick line, going from the top of my TV, to the bottom of it. I can't even enjoy watching TV on my own TV that I paid with my money.

This has to be illegal. I purchased two 32-in Emerson TV on black Friday. I gave them to my children and heard we are a month later and the TV has no picture. Wal-mart won't take responsibility for the TV; Emerson said they did not make it, even though it says Emerson all over it. I have just been robbed of five hundred dollars and it is like no one even cares.

This TV is only six months old. It changes channels on its own and the volume goes all the way up. This product is junk. Emerson should be ashamed to carry a Chinese company, Funai to steal money from people. Okay, Emerson, I will never buy any Emerson product and tell everyone I know not to also.

I have an Emerson model LHD32K20US and can't set the time on the TV. I wouldn't normally care but it's screwing up the time when I want to tape something. I've read the book. I can change the Day of the week, Day of the month, and the time zone but I can't change the time. Can you please help me? Current always was just correct when I turned on a new TV.

I bought this TV in December 2010 at Walmart's Black Friday Sale. Here we are just over a year later and the TV does not turn on just like a thousand of these other reviews in this website. We have to press the power button more than 200 times. It was only 10 times when it first started happening, but has gotten worse. I will be buying a real TV, but I will hang on to this one in the event there is a class action lawsuit. I refuse to ever buy another Emerson product ever again. I can't believe a company like Emerson would not do something about these complaints. Also, shame on Walmart for selling this crap. They should refuse to sell this product until Emerson makes good with their customers.

I purchased a 19-inch Emerson flat screen TV with DVD player built in (model number RLD190EMI) from Wal-Mart in October of 2010. In March of 2011, the DVD player quit working. Player would accept the DVD, cycle it, and spit it out again. The warranty department from Emerson sent me a re-conditioned unit in its place. The reconditioned unit lasted 7 months and is now exhibiting the same problem. I called the warranty department at Emerson and was informed my warranty had expired on the date of my original TV's purchase, even though this was a "new", re-conditioned TV they had just shipped me 7 months ago! A TV should last longer than 6 months! I will never again purchase any electronics from Emerson or Wal-Mart. I will not contribute to the growing amount of garbage filling up our landfills in America with the sub-standard junk Wal-Mart imports from China.

I bought the 40" Emerson LCD from Walmart on Black Friday 2010. It lasted exactly 13 months, it won't turn on at all. It should be a crime to sell something with known issues without disclosing them. It should say right there on the box, "This TV will break shortly after your warranty runs out and we will not replace or fix it. You will not be able to get parts to fix it yourself".

Add me to the list of those who bought an Emerson TV from Wal-Mart. Fortunately, we got a couple of years out of it. We were watching a DVD, and it just went black. Big problem now is that the DVD (borrowed) is still inside! This TV should have lasted much longer!

I purchased an Emerson 40-inch HDTV at Wal-Mart's Black Friday event on 11/25/11 for $249.00. About a week ago, I started noticing a black blob on the bottom left section of my TV that was approximately the size of a quarter. I luckily kept the box and was able to exchange it with the same TV. If I would have waited 3 more days, I would have been **. I am upset because I didn't have a receipt and they had to look it up on the computer to find the receipt and the transaction number. I am upset because now I have a brand new TV with absolutely no warranty! So after reading the complaints on here, I have 2 days to decide to take this one back and exchange it for a smaller model. Emerson should not be allowed to sell junk. There should be a class action suit. I could not believe all the people that are having the same issues with their Emerson TVs and to think I thought I might have caused the problem by gently wiping the screen to clean it.

Well, I bought the Emerson 32" flat screen, and it yielded the same results as the other complaints on here. ** product, ** customer service, enough said. I usually am a cheap bastard, but I'll now pay an extra couple hundred bucks for quality products. Luckily, I have the Wal-Mart extended warranty.

Emerson 32" (model LC320EM1F) will not turn on, red and green lights flash but no picture. This was received as a gift, so no receipt. It was purchased at Wal-Mart on December 2010. We used this TV less than 2 hours a week. I see that many others have had the same problem. This appears to be very common with Emerson LCD TVs. I feel it is normal to expect a new TV to last quite a bit longer than 1 Year as the 25" Zenith the Emerson replaced is over 20 years old and is working fine. If this short service life is considered "normal" for LCD TVs, then I will not be purchasing them until they can engineer longer life. Emerson may have been a good brand a one time, but with the takeover by Funai, they are junk and not recommended. I will be also making my views known to the Ohio Attorney General's Office and anyone else I can think of to instigate a recall on these nonfunctional Emerson/Funai LCD TVs.

I bought an Emerson LCD HDTV Model LC320EM1F on black Friday 2010. When it made the year it started going on standby and not turning on after the fifth try and wont turn on. I contacted customer service and they gave me a service number for my area that didn't work and didn't offer no form of help or technical support.

40" Emerson purchased on infamous Black Friday at Walmart 2011. Left in Box and opened Christmas Day from Santa. Put into service next day and on January 10, 2012 (16 days later) while watching, it popped into standby mode and will not clear. Calls to Emerson generate no help, no listing in their service manual for technical help over the phone. Gave Warranty Phone number 888-1 xxxx. Open 8-5:30 est. Don't try to leave message mailbox is full. Imagine that. Local Walmart has extended their return policy on electronics and will also refund my extended service plan. Of course, there are no other TVs available for the original price but if I want to add another $200-$300 to return, they will try to find me something.

I just sacrificed 45 minutes of reading approximately 115 reviews and noticed that the notch on the scroll bar had barely moved 1/8 of the page. I was going to complain that one of my HDMI ports on my 32" flat screen had gone out and I am left with two. The one I am using with my dish receiver is starting to have an audio flicker. I work in the TV repair industry and this problem is a very rare one. But of all these complaints, something differs with mine. I got mine at Walmart on Black Friday of 2009. I fall asleep with it on all the time and of the last 10 months of my unemployment, that TV gets abused. I guess I just got lucky. Sufficed to say, even though I paid for the extended warranty, I will only attempt to mess with Walmart or Emerson just for sake that I did. When this TV eventually dies, I may be able to get a free TV out of it. The money I saved not having to buy it 3 times, I will probably get an LED.

In April, I bought a 32" flat screen from Wal-Mart on sale. My husband was out of the country, and it was intended as a welcome home gift for him. He came home in May, and I presented him with the TV. Right away, it started having problems turning on. The lights would blink, but it took several tries to turn it on. He kept hoping it would just "go away", and of course it didn't. It just got worse. Now it's to the point that it sometimes takes 20 or so tries to get it on. I lost the receipt, so Wal-Mart wouldn't take it back. We just moved it to another room, and tried to hook up a VCR and DVD player to it. The VCR doesn't work at all with it, and the DVD player only plays in black and white. I was researching online to see if there was a trick to hooking them up. I didn't find anything on that, but sure found lots and lots of the same exact complaint. They have to know they are selling an inferior product. I am not happy at all.

I bought an Emerson HDTV (32 inches) on black Friday of 2011. When I turned it on for the first time it had a black line running vertical from top to bottom, so I packed it up and took it back to Wal-Mart in Middletown, DE to exchange it. I had paid $188.00 for the TV and used my daughter's employment discount card to get it down to this value and they had the same TV but it was $248.00. They wanted me to pay the difference out of my pocket for the same TV after a bunch of bull ** and 25 minutes they finally agreed to give me the TV. Now I am trying to register my product on the web and I can't find the website even after I typed the web address they provided. This is **. Emerson ** and I never will buy their product again. Wal-Mart needs to find better bed fellows to do business with and Sam would never let this type of business go on at Wal-Mart. The customers really miss him. And the employees need to stop trying to rip their customers off.

I purchased a 40 in LCD Emerson TV from Wal-mart on black Friday. Standing in line for four hours for this "great deal" that was too good to be true was exactly that. On New Years Eve, while watching a DVD, the screen got suddenly dimmer. The brightness adjustment on the remote did nothing. I called the hotline number for the warranty and have not been helped at all.

Yesterday, I was told that the cable might be the issue. The HDMI cable was brand new! Regardless we performed the troubleshooting that the technician told us to do. As of right now, I am on hold for a second time today for 20 minutes for the warranty department. The first phone call was transferred to a voice mail without me even speaking to anyone.

I will most likely be getting a refund from Wal-mart for this piece of junk that they have sold now for 4 years with constant complaints. Emerson is not Emerson, the phone number directs you to Sunai Services located in China. I will never buy another Emerson product! My complaint will not end here. I will be reporting this situation to the Better Business Bureau in an attempt to stop this company from screwing people over. Lesson learned. If a deal sounds to good to be true it is!

I bought two Emerson 32" LCD TVs at Christmas and neither one worked. What a joke. I have a lot better things to do with my time than drag TVs back and forth to Wal-Mart.

My husband purchased an Emerson 32" LCD TV from Walmart on Black Friday 2010. We had stored it (still in it's original packaging) for 8 months. I opened it in July 2011 after we moved to our new place and the TV stopped working 4 months later. I called Emerson in December 2011 and was told that the warranty had expired a month ago and they could not do anything about it.

I bought a 32" Emerson flat screen for my daughter for Christmas. After about 90 days, it would not turn on. The red light would flash then stop. Your could get it to turn on by pressing the on button 7-20 times. I called Emerson where their people took delight in telling me the TV has a 90-day warranty. I will never buy another Emerson anything again!

We bought an Emerson 40" LCD HDTV on Black Friday from Walmart this year, 2011. When we got it home, we plugged it in and the right side of the screen worked with a line going right down the middle and the left side of the screen was black. It was obviously broken when purchased. When I called Walmart, they refused to do anything but an immediate refund.

They refused to try to help me get another (any kind of TV) knowing it was bought as a Christmas gift. They knew the products they were offering for black Friday were junk to begin with, and had no intention of trying to work with any customers for any reason. This not only speaks volumes about the quality of Emerson. This is good ole Walmart for you! Poor Sam. He's got to be rolling over in his grave knowing how low the business he worked so hard to make is now so sickening! Thank God this is America and we do have choices. I for one will pay any other price to keep from putting one more penny in the pocket of good ole Wally World!

You can do more for your hard to earn dollars nowadays by avoiding giving any of it to Walmart. Pay the same price basically from another company, but if you still choose to go to Walmart, beware. They do not care if the customers are satisfied anymore and have no problems telling you that!

I purchased an Emerson 22 inch TV and they told me to call the company. They give a Website and never was able to get in touch with the company. This TV cannot be turn on and it's brand new.

I have an Emerson 42" LCD TV (model LC407EM1). My daughter bought this TV at Wal-Mart on June 13, 2011, for her dad's birthday. Everything seemed fine, until 94 days later, when the stupid thing made a popping sound, and went off. We called the complaint number, and was told to turn it off for 5 minutes, and try again. It never came on again. We were told to find the receipt, and they would send another TV, but because the warranty was only good for 90 days, we would have to pay $75 for shipping.

I looked everywhere for the receipt, and my daughter looked at her house, but to no avail. She had trouble making contact with the accounting department at Wal-Mart, because she works long hours, and they were always gone. She finally talked to a manager, and was able to authorize the accounting department to print off the transaction, and leave it at the service desk. By the time I was able to call and see if we could just get a refund, because there were so many complaints about the same problem I had, I didn't want to deal with the same thing happening again. We were told we only had 30 days to contact them again. We were not told that in the original phone call, nor were we told that they would have paid the shipping, because it was so close to the 90 day warranty. They could give us a special concession clause. I paid the $75, and be happy with a refurbished piece of junk, that likely will go out again, and still have no TV, just less money.

I purchased an Emerson flat screen TV. About a month later, the TV picture would completely go out. After several calls to the Walmart help line, I found out the TV is really not even an Emerson. The case is Emerson and the parts are random parts from other generic companies in China. TV repairmen can't even get parts for this TV because it is just generic and does not have part numbers. The number on the owners manual that says Emerson is a number to Walmart helpline and when I asked for a certified technician to have the TV repaired, I was told to google or check local yellow pages. Last electronic from Walmart.

I bought an Emerson 40" flat screen TV black Friday 2011. I called the hubby and he thought it was a good deal so we forked over the cash. Now it's barely before Christmas and the darn thing isn't working. I took it back to Walmart only to be told it was a black Friday item and there is no more in stock. I wanted a new 40" TV so I asked the manager if I could trade it for a different brand. They worked out kind of a screwy deal with me and said I could get a 32" of lesser or equal value but the price I got it for was that of a 19 to 20-inch TVs. Also I would have to pay the difference. Okay, so reading all these reviews I'm most def getting my money back. This is robbery. I'm not going to even bother trying to call the company. Too much headache for me. Thank you all for cheating the little man.

I guess I should feel lucky. We purchased our 32" Emerson LCD (LC320EM82 S) TV from Wal-Mart in March of 2008. About a year after purchase, we noticed a dark shadow in the center and along the side of the screen. It has gotten worse. I went online to find out if other Emersons were doing this and yes, not only Emersons but other brands too. But along with this complaint were TVs shutting off, voice going in and out, so I knew what might be coming. Yesterday it started, and you can hardly watch it.

The picture was blinking on and off, voice was going in and out, and the dark spot was still there. I feel so sorry for all the other Black Friday buyers, because I saw so many people with the 40-inch Emersons in their cart. I made a comment to my friend about never buying "anything" Emerson, again. Mine cost $558 plus tax for a piece of junk!

I purchased a 19 inch Emerson TV (model LC 195EMX in 03/2009), and last night, 12/13/2011, the volume turned up to the maximum level (which is 100 and extremely loud). I wasn't able to use the remote to do anything to the TV, and the volume buttons on the TV wouldn't work either, also when I pushed the "up volume", the setup box came on the screen, and started going crazy (jumping from box to box), and the sharpness, color, tint, etc went up to the maximum level as well. After calling Wal-Mart, they advised me to unplug the set, and plug it back in, but nothing changed.

Wal-Mart said the manufacturer's warranty was off (which I knew). They didn't have a contact number for Emerson, which sucked, and they gave me a website to go to, which was incorrect, but I managed to find myself, only to be given another number to Emerson, and after holding for so long, they get my information, and then tell me, "unfortunately there's nothing we can do, but you can take it to a local repair person, who's probably not going to work on that size TV, because it may be cheaper to just go buy another set". Well, I've been unemployed since May '09, and I'm barely making it as it is, and have a son graduating this school year, and I'm not able to afford those things. So it is what it is!

Ultimately, I thought, wow what a steal! However, now I feel that between Wal-Mart and Emerson selling these cheaply made products, something has to be done. The volume goes up, and is stuck on the maximum level, and the remote will not operate it either. From the other reviews, I understand that it is a common problem. Now with Black Friday coming up, we will see how many more people these two companies get. I feel as if something must be done. We need to come together against these companies, Wal-Mart and any other businesses that sell this make of TV, and of course Emerson for producing it.

I bought the 40-inch Emerson TV for black Friday 2011 at WalMart. I didn't notice at first but now less than a month later, the brightness of the screen fades in and out. I am so pissed! I now have to get the warranty and apparently there is no guarantee that Emerson will fix it.

I bought 2 42 inch Emerson TVs on Black Friday 2010. I have sound, but no picture. When I called Emerson, they set up an appointment to get it fixed from a company that was located 50 miles away, but said, because I did purchase the extended warranty, I would have to pay for everything. I decided to call a local repairman, and when I told him I had a 42" Emerson, he asked if I bought it on Black Friday a year ago. He looked on a site, which told Emerson is aware of the trouble with a part, but they continue to sell the TV. Emerson should be forced to repair these TV sets at no cost to consumers, because they were aware, and yet continued selling garbage.

I purchased the Emerson TV 32" on Black Friday. I turned on the TV last night and after maybe 1 hour later the TV cut off. I unsuccessfully tried turning it back on using the remote. I had to actually press the button on the TV for it to come. 1 hour passed by and it cut off again. After that, it turned on and off several times. Will be returning especially after reviewing other negative reviews.

My daughter bought a 32" Emerson LCD flat screen and 9 months later, it quit working. We have called the company numerous times and they are very rude and do not stand behind their product. I was told after her TV broke that Emerson had a poor warranty and poor customer service and I learned the hard way that sadly, this is true. I asked to speak to a manager and they told me there was none and put me on the line with a very rude supervisor! They told me that they could send me a new TV and we just had to pay $50! So they charged our credit card and we never received a TV. 2 weeks later, I called and they said it had never been processed! Then he said oh we can't ship to Canada. They can ship their products here to sell but not to replace when something happens to them. I would not recommend Emerson to anyone and will tell everyone I know about their service. Its very discouraging, my daughter is a university student and cannot afford to go buy another TV.

I bought Emerson 32" TV on Black Friday last year. Eight months later, the TV doesn't work at all. There is no way the government doesn't know about these complaints. Something needs to be done against this company.

I purchased a 32" Emerson LCD TV (Model LC320EM2) from Walmart on August 21, 2011. The TV would not come on November 28, 2011. I called the customer service number and was told I would have to fax a copy of the receipt, only to find out the full warranty (labor and parts) was for 90 days only. On the 91st, the consumer is responsible for a $50 labor fee. I could not believe what I was hearing. I purchased a brand new TV 3 months and 1 week prior and I now have to spend more money? I forgot to mention the replacement TV is refurbished. I reassured the representative I would never purchase another product from Emerson because they don't stand behind their products.

Within two months of purchasing an Emerson 32" television from local Wal-Mart, the speaker on set volume of 15 has blown out. Wal-Mart does not return after 15 days since it is electronics and Emerson does not return e-mails on the subject.

I purchased Emerson 32" LCD TV model #LC320EM1F at Walmart Black Friday 2010. Just over one year later, the TV will not power on without 5-10 attempts. After reading numerous similar complaints by others on blogs, I am certain that these TVs are defective and the problem is not isolated to my set. I am now noticing similar complaints with the 2011 Black Friday Emerson TVs. Clearly both Emerson/Funai and Walmart are aware of these common problems but continue to market and sell these defective units. I would like to join a class action lawsuit if one opens up. Thank you.

My husband and I bought 2 Emerson 32inch TVs from Walmart for our children. Both TVs have stopped working. On 1 TV, the color has went out and the other just will not come on. When I called Emerson they were so rude. I am really frustrated with Walmart and Emerson for not standing by this product. I will no longer buy Emerson products or electronics from Walmart. People are going to continue to be scammed by Emerson if nothing is done. So please do not buy Emerson TVs.

I bought a TV, 32in for $318 and I thought this is great. But now, I went to turn it on and it won't even power. I faxed my receipt over showing it's less than a year and do you know they still want to charge me $50 to get a refurbished one, not even a brand new? I will never buy an Emerson product. They do not stand by their product. It's on you! Don't buy Emerson electronics. I have been ripped off!

Just like everyone else, I stood in line for about 4 hours thinking I was getting a deal on the Emerson 40-inch television. I just opened mine on 11/28/2011 only to find that when I turn it on, the screen is blinking and jumping. My husband called Wal-Mart only for us to be told they will give us our money back. My husband stated that he wanted another TV and wanted to just exchange it. He was told that they would not honor the price that we got on Black Friday, so the best they would do is give us our money back. Personally, I think this is ** and I feel that Wal-Mart knew that they were selling a product that has had numerous complaints and faulty equipment. I will also be willing to petition Wal-Mart and the Emerson manufacture. My complaint will go further than this website.

I bought an Emerson 32" TV from Walmart on Black Friday 2011 at midnight. It took me two hours to purchase the TV and I had to stand in a crowded store through a bomb threat. Needless to say, it was not the best experience for me, but for $188 I thought it was worth it. When I was handed the box, it had a huge gash through the center, and I asked for another. The salesperson told me I would have to wait in the line all over again and that by then they would all be gone. So I brought home the torn box after being told it was just from a box cutter. When I got it home 6 hours later, after 2 days of travelling and insane shopping, I opened it hoping to watch TV and relax. The entire corner of the television was cracked and I could see the inside of the TV. When I plugged it in, it would turn on for 2 seconds and shut off. I called Walmart and was informed that all they could do was refund my money. My problem was that I would never find another

TV that size for that price because the sales were all over. I wanted a comparable product to replace it with. It took me 35 minutes on the phone on and off of hold, but in the end a very kind manager offered to replace my Emerson with a 32" Samsung for no extra cost. I have absolutely loved my Samsung and am certainly glad to be rid of my defective and broken Emerson. These products are not worth owning. From now on I'll stick to Samsung, a brand I trust.

My son purchased an Emerson LC320EM1F television last Black Friday 2010 and gifted it to me last Christmas. Within a matter of weeks, the sound would occasionally disappear which I could correct by turning the TV off and back on again. Then the TV would go into standby mode when trying to turn the TV on but a couple more clicks of the remote on/off button and the TV would come on. The standby problem got progressively worse.

I purchased the Emerson 32" on 01/25/11 and as of 11/23/11 it has completely stopped working. No lights come on whatsoever. I made numerous calls to Funai Corp. as well as Emerson to only have to leave messages. Finally, on 11/25/11, I reached a person who was rude and nasty and apparently didn't like her job. So when I asked for her supervisor, I received the dial tone. I called back to only be transferred to other extensions. Today, 11/28/11, I spoke to a young man who also displayed a slight attitude because another one of their products is defective and the consumer (me) won't back down. I have now been told that the TV I purchased was a Black Friday 2010 special. My response was "So because it was a 2010 Black Friday special, it isnt supposed to power on anymore." Come on, let's get real here. I have had TVs in my home last for over 15 years. Mind you, this TV was purchased in January. Isn't Black Friday in November, go figure.

To make a long story short, I was told the TV was out of warranty even though I have a 2-yr extended warranty through Walmart, and that if I wanted it serviced I now have to fax my receipt to them along with $50 to upgrade my warranty plus pay shipping and handling for a refurbished TV. Better Business Bureau, here we come. This type of service is absurb. Please stay away from Emerson/Funai/PNS company.

I have an Emerson 32 inch LCD. After 10 months, the TV stopped turning on and I am now just getting around to doing something about it. I purchased it on Black Friday November 2010.

I bought our Emerson 32 inch LED/LCD TV on Nov. 5th, 2011. The remote stopped working 2 weeks later. I called the company. They said they don't service this TV, but helped troubleshoot the problem anyway. They said the remote was fine; it's the TV receiving end that was bad. Even though the manufacturing date on the back of the TV says Sept 11, 2011, they said that they have no record of this TV. Also, the manual that came with the TV is for a 19 and 22 inch TV, not even the TV we bought. Finally, I found the phone number for the warranty department for this TV. No one answers; you have to leave a message. I have left two messages and no one has called me back. We are living on an island in Alaska for 18 months and got to go off island to go shopping and bought this TV. Simply returning is not an option. It's a 3 hour ferry ride each way and $100 per person to take the ferry back to Wal-Mart to return the TV. What an awful product to be allowed to keep producing!

I bought an Emerson 40 inch LCD TV black Friday, 2011 for $248.00. I was thinking, what a steal. I waited 4 hours in line, and felt lucky that I had gotten one. Little did I know, what big pieces of ** they were. Mine lasted a whopping 16 hours before it quit working. It wouldn't turn on at all. These TVs are junk, and ** Wal-Mart for knowingly selling these. When I returned it to Wal-Mart, they were not even surprised. If there is a class action lawsuit sign me up!

TV stuck in standby less than two years old. This purchased in September 2009. It quit working about a year after purchase. This is an Emerson LC320EMX 32-inch LCD. I got no help from Wal-Mart or Emerson.

I stood in line at Wal-Mart for 3 hours to get an Emerson 32-inch HDLCDTV on Black Friday yesterday, thinking I was getting a good deal. My husband took the TV out of the box and we plugged it in. Only half the screen shows. We called Emerson; they said it was a defect and to take it back to Wal-Mart to get our money back. We called Wal-Mart. They said they don't have any other TVs for that price and they will give us our money back. I was upset because that is not really fixing the issue. I knew I would get my money back. I called Emerson again. They offered to send me a refurbished TV. I am thinking I purchased what I believed to be a brand new TV but you want to send me a used one. I wonder if all the TVs they sell really cheap are used. I will never buy electronics from Wal-Mart again.

I bought two 32-inch flat screen Emerson TVs on a Black Friday special from Wal-Mart, in November of 2010. One of them stopped turning on, when the TV was less than 10 months old. Now you have to turn it on 15-30 times, before the TV will actually come on. It is too late to return it to Wal-Mart, and from reading the other complaints, I will probably not have any luck getting Emerson to replace it.

I will never buy another Emerson product, if they do not replace the TV. These TVs obviously need to be recalled, and replaced, or money refunded, since they are defective. I will also not buy electronics from Wal-Mart again, since they are not concerned with the quality of what they are selling.

I purchased an Emerson 32" TV from Walmart on Black Friday 2010. Now, almost a year later, the TV stopped working. The power light comes on and then the stand-by light comes on and both lights stay on, but the TV doesn't come on. After reading other complaints, this appears to be a similar and frequent problem.

I bought an Emerson TV. Less than a year old and it will turn on for several seconds and then power off. The red light will flash, then the green light flashed for a few seconds, the picture will come on for a few seconds and then it will turn off.

I will not buy an Emerson product again.

I did like the most of you. I went for the TV that has the best price. I purchased the Emerson 32-inch flat screen HD in 2009. Ultimately, I thought wow what a steal. However, now I feel that between Walmart and Emerson selling these cheaply made products something has to be done. The volume goes up and is stuck on the max, and the remote will not operate it either. From the other reviews, I understand that it is a common problem. Now with Black Friday coming up, we will see how many more people these two companies get. I feel as if something must be done. We need to come together against these companies for not standing by their products, Walmart and any other businesses that sells this make of TV and of course Emerson for producing it.

I bought an Emerson (Model: LC320EM1F) TV. It does not turn on or anything. I haven't even had the TV for a year. I bought it Black Friday 2010 and it stopped working in August 2011. After looking at all the comments and complaints about the Emerson products, I will never buy an Emerson product again. I can't get another TV because I can't afford it.

I bought a 32-inch TV (model #lc320em1f) at Wal-Mart on Black Friday 2010. Within 9 months, the left speaker has stopped working. Emerson told me that there's nothing they can/will do about it. I will never buy their products again and will tell everyone I know not to buy their junk, which they don't stand behind.

Unlike most of the complaints I see here, our TV (Emerson 320EMX) has worked, sort of, for a couple of years. I believe the problem is with the tuner. As someone else describes, first, one channel had picture but no sound. The picture quality has now degraded to the point where most channels have snow, and the captioning is a scrambled mess. We've been watching through our digital recorder for a couple of weeks, but I guess we just need to buy a new TV. It won't be an Emerson.

I purchased a 32" LCD model LC320EMI on 1/27/11 at Wal-Mart. One of the channels, 29.1, has no sound but a picture. In order to get the sound, you have to hit the SAP button and go to English. Once you turn the channel, you have to do the same thing if you go back to 29.1. I called customer service. They were trying to say that it is a signal problem. I informed them that it worked at first and just went out about a week ago. I was informed to buy an antenna with a booster on it or get a converter box or take it to a neighbor's home and see if the signal will come back from their location. They said that a tree or anything can be blocking my signal. Keep in mind, there are other TVs in the house that 29.1 is working.

I talked to a manager named William who gave me a reference number after I had talked to other customer rep (Nick). Also, Walmart's electrical manager called and talked to them. They told them the same thing, that I need to take the TV over neighbor's house and see if signal would come in. Keep in mind that my TV is still under warranty and I have expressed each time to them to replace the TV. They have refused to do so. Now I would like my money back and I will tell everyone not to buy your products (Emerson).

I bought myself a 42" LCD Emerson TV in March of 2011 for my birthday. By September, it had quit working! It just quit while my husband and I were watching it. At first, we thought the electricity had gone out. But we soon realized it was just the TV. I don't have the money to have it fixed or replaced.

I purchased a 42" HD Emerson television on Black Friday of 2010. In May, while sitting on couch clipping coupons, I looked up and noticed the screen was black. That was less than 6 months after purchasing it! I didn't purchase the extended warranty. The store told me that they would not accept it back and to call Emerson. I did not, after reading all the complaints here. I got screwed on this one, but never again will I buy another Emerson product!

I bought an Emerson 42 inches LCD TV during the November 2010 Black Friday sale from my local Wal-Mart store. I got the cable connection to the TV in August 2011. Just within two days of using this TV, the display went off. It took me a week to figure out what is the right Emerson customer service number, as they kept bouncing me back and forth. Finally, when I got the right number and filed my claim, I got a call from the service center that my serial number is a duplicate. They said that another TV with the same number was already serviced, and that I need to contact my local Wal-Mart store, until then nothing can be done. Wal-Mart said they are not responsible. Again, I called Emerson and I told them that it is their problem as per Wal-Mart. The Emerson customer service said they passed partial serial ID to the service center. This time they passed the complete number.

The service center guy came and looked into the TV. He said that he has to order a motherboard and it will take five-seven business days. I spent almost a month waiting and my TV is still not working. So, I need to wait for the motherboard, and my warranty will expire on November 28, 2011. I need to dump my TV, if it breaks again, after my warranty expires. When I asked for a refund, the manufacturer said if the issue is fixable, they cannot give a refund. They don't have extended warranty either. I feel it is waste of money, and they should stop selling these television sets. I will pass my negative experience to others to make sure no one buys Emerson TVs.

I bought an Emerson 42" Plaza on Black Friday 2010. In July 2011, a thick black line, about three inches wide, appeared across the entire TV screen just about four inches from the top. I have called, emailed and gone through a lot, trying to get them to honor the warranty, but Walmart or Emerson would not. If you can not manufacture a product any better than the junk you are selling, then quit!

I called up Emerson customer service and they just said that since the television is not under warranty, the best they could do would be to refer me to an authorized repair center. But in reading these posts, it appears that everyone has basically the same problem: the motherboard, inverter or circuit board where the TV flashes on briefly and then goes out. Sounds like a class action lawsuit to me. I used to be a quality manager and believe me, Emerson knew fully well about the returns and issues with defective product, but are hoping that only a few people will complain so that they can continue to reap the benefits of selling a cheap, inferior product!

On Nov. 2010, I purchased an Emerson LC320EM81. Now, it won't turn on. Walmart refused to take back and Emerson wants more money for the repair than for the TV, yet I have a warranty for 12 months! Simply outrageous!

The Emerson Flat Screen TV # LC320EMX is a piece of junk. After owning it for sixteen months, it stopped working and will cost more to fix it than to buy a new TV. How convenient that after the one year warranty expires, so does the TV.

I will never buy another Emerson product again and I will tell anyone that is going to buy a TV not to buy Emerson. It's a pure garbage.

I bought an Emerson 22 inch TV from Walmart and not even a week later, a thin black line appeared across the TV screen and would not go away. I called Emerson who, more or less, told me it was the panel and had I just purchased it? I said I did and he advised me to return it to Walmart and I am. I am not going to get another one.

On black Friday of 2010, I bought two TVs and both are having problems turning on.

I have read other complaints and I was wondering if there is a class action suit. Something should be done; there are way too many people having the same problem.

I purchased my LCD Emerson 32" TV in December of 2010. The first week of August 2011, it clicked off when my children and I were watching cartoons and the red standby button came on so I tried to turn it back on and the green power button comes on along with the standby button staying on. You can hear it click and then the green power button goes off and the screen, of course, stays black the whole time.

I called Emerson and they told me the manufacturer warranty was up in July 2011 so that sorry about my luck my TV messed up a little too late to be able to be fixed or replaced, and that I needed to contact where I purchased it, which was Walmart. Emerson told me that if I could get a copy of my receipt from them that I purchased it in December of 2010 that they may be able to help me.

Walmart tried to tell me they didn't even sell me the TV, that I needed to contact the company that made the TV. I explained to them that I had and what they said and Walmart told me pretty much the same thing Emerson said, "Sorry about your luck. You will just have to purchase a new television."

I bought a 32" Emerson TV (Model: LC320EM1F) on a Black Friday at Walmart last 2010 for my daughter's room who was with me for a short time. The TV does not turn on or function at all. Wow! What a rip off and a horrible product.

We purchased a 42' LCD Emerson TV on Black Friday of 2010. Late this June (only 7 months ago), we started having problems with the TV. While watching, the screen would turn completely black and we would only be able to hear the sound. We would shut if off for a while and turn in back on and it would be okay for a day or two.

On July 9, 2011 the screen went black and stayed that way, and had a very strong burning smell. We unplugged the TV and called Walmart since we purchased the TV there. We were told if we did not purchase the extended warranty, we needed to call the manufacturer despite the fact that inside the box, when we purchased the TV, was a "Limited One Year Warranty" issued with the "Walmart" logo printed at the top. We called Emerson the same day and was given a claim # and an appointment date for the following Tuesday for a technician to come out and look at the TV. We got a call from the repair shop on Monday, they asked us to describe the problem and when we did, they advised it was not necessary for a technician to come out. They said they knew what the problem was and they would be ordering the replacement part which would take 3-5 business days.

There have been several calls to Emerson since that day. Each time we were given different information, including 3 different dates that the part was mailed, we were told the part was probably on back order, and so on. When we finally spoke to a supervisor (Rick), we asked him to provide the tracking # if the part had actually been shipped. Of course, he could not find the tracking # in the system. This was on 8/1/11. Rick said that he would be forwarding this issue to the "service solution" department and we would hear something in 3-5 business days.

We will be calling tomorrow but are not expecting anything good to come from the conversation. It is a crime how these companies can get away with robbery. I am not sure how this will turn out; however, I do know that someone is going to honor the One Year Manufacturer's Warranty in one way or the other because our claim is within the scope of the 1 year time frame.

I purchased an Emerson LCD 42" at Wal-Mart on Black Friday. It has been less than a year and my TV stopped working. You could hear the sound but it has no picture. I called Emerson and they sent a technician. Apparently, the light went out on the TV. I had to wait two weeks for the repair because the part was back ordered.

It's a shame that products are not made as they used to be. I have a Daewoo and Sanyo that are both over 13 years old and they are still working great.

I bought a tv Emerson modele #LC320EM93 on 2/2/09 I used it for 4 months because I was out country for more of one year, then when I try to use it dosen't work. I called the company to complain regarding this product the answer was you did no bought an extra waranty so we can not help you, please my advice is no to buy any electronics products from this manufacture

I purchased an Emerson HD flat screen TV in January with additional warranty. Three weeks ago (today is 06/30/11), it stopped working. It turns on and the screen flashes red, yellow, blue and green, repeatedly. It won't turn off without unplugging it. The last time I tried it, it smelled like something was burning, so I unplugged it and have left it off since.

Customer service will not honor warranty, or another representative will tell me it will cost me. It is five months old, with light use. If everyone would contact http://www.milberg.com/ with me, maybe we could start a class action suit. You can email like I did. If we unite against this company, we can do something. There are so many of us who have had problems with these televisions for several years, so it looks like they are knowingly doing this.

Isn't that against some kind of law?!

Purchased 32 inch LCD Emerson TV on March 18 2010 and last month it started changing channels and the volume would go up and down...all by itself. Purchased the warranty (one year) but of course it is just OVER one year. Research shows it has to do with the switch on the mother board. To fix it would cost almost twice what I paid for it. This is what these big companies do to the average consumer. They get their money and don't stand behind their product. No wonder this whole nation is going downhill!

I bought a TV -- LCD 37" MODEL# LC320EM8-EMERSON, from Wal-Mart in 2009. It is fairly a new TV. For the last couple of months, this TV is showing colored lines along the screen. I had a local TV technician look at it. He told me that it was a manufacturer's defect. Now, the TV has several lines. I have been calling Emerson at their listed phone number, 888-290-0871. They don't even answer their phones. I have to hold for several hours. With this level of customer service and the ** products they are distributing, I want to know who is keeping them in business. If I had known of the faulty products Emerson is selling, I would have never bought anything from them; but I sure will make sure my friends and family do not go anywhere near their products.

nowadays I ignored it. Well, my TV started shutting down about around Easter, April 2011. It would then come back on. It worked ok in May. But it has cut off twice this month (June).

It happened last week and after unplugging, trying a different outlet, powering it off and on it finally came on. Yesterday afternoon 6/18/2011 about 12:45 I was watching TV, it shuts off. I tried several times turning it off and on. No luck. I called Emerson, spoke to Dennis (rep). He says the product was manufactured March 2010; I purchased the TV May 2010; The warranty expired March 2011. He asked if I'd unplugged the TV. I responded yes. He asked had I waited over a minute to plug it back in since that usually resets the TV. He says "You usually have to turn it on and off at least 15 times sometimes before it resets." I advised that I'd waited longer than that and still it would not come on.

I advised him that the when I would power on the TV the green light would blink several times and then go back to red (standby mode). I asked if anyone has ever called with the same issues and what is usually the reason for the TV not coming back on. Dennis stated, "Yes, we've had several calls on this issue. It usually is the powerboard that needs to be replaced." I asked him what is the recourse but he stated that they will usually replace/repair it within the warranty but since I am no longer covered I have to take it to get serviced. He provided me with an address and telephone of an authorized service/repair shop in my area of North Augusta SC. Oddly enough there is only one. They're closed on the weekends.

Though Dennis stated that he wouldn't know the price of the repair. Understanding Dennis' job as a CSR since I am one myself he could only do but so much. I never gave him a hassle I just thanked him and disconnected. Since today is now Sunday and I cannot take it in to the service/repair shop until Monday. Im without a TV and then still until they give me a resolution on price on the repair I'm left with Emerson's junk.

I purchased the 42" LCD 1080p 60HZ on Black Friday 2010 from Walmart online. Yesterday, the power goes on and has no picture. I wish I would have read the complaints earlier about this product. I am just starting out to try to get assistance but it sounds like I have a no win battle ahead of me.

Whatever happened to pride and great workmanship? I hate being taken advantage of!

I purchased an Emerson 32" TV (model number LC320EM1F) on Black Friday 2010. Now, less than six months later, the TV stopped working. The power light comes on and then the stand-by light comes on and both lights stay on, but the TV doesn't come on. After reading other complaints, this appears to be a similar and frequent problem.

I purchased an Emerson 42 LCD TV on 11/27/10, which worked for one week. I called cable three times and stated TV was broken. I called Emerson at 1-800-242-7158. After numerous requests and evasiveness, part is on back orders.

I am stuck for six months with a broken TV. I demand my money back. The inverter cable kit is melted inside of one week. I want this junk out of my house and money returned in my hand when they come to get this junk.

I have been sleeping on my living room floor for six months to watch TV. Their TV is in my bedroom: no satisfaction at all! I paid to have it delivered to me. This is a factory mass production defect. I spent $80.00 for pillows to lie on the floor and $456.33 for gas. I experienced mental anguish and disgust. This is a defect and they won't give my money back!

I bought two 32" Emerson LCD TV for my two girls, 8 and 9 years old for Christmas, at Walmart on December 2010. Here it is, almost five months later, and I just had my 9-year-old stop working. It goes to standby and power light being on together, but no picture. Walmart will do nothing being outside of the 3-month return policy, and from what I've read, Emerson does not back their defective products that they mass produce.

Now I have a sad 9-year-old, and probably a sad 8-year-old, in the next few months, when hers stops working. It's $600 worth of disappointment. Thanks Emerson for your faulty products.

I bought my son a 32" flat screen TV from Walmart on November 26, 2010. I left it in the box and gave it to him on Christmas day. Now he's telling met that the TV doesn't turn on and when I called customer service, they advised that while the tv is still under warranty the parts are not.

They actually wanted me to pay $150 to get this TV fixed when I paid $200 for it in the first place! I said, "No! I refuse to pay that!" They told me me $75 would do.

I still find this hard to believe. I even bought an extended warranty from Walmart but they won't cover anything until the manufacturers' warranty is done. I'm so frustrated at this point. I feel as though since this is a know problem that they should be recalling this TV. What about a class action law suit?

I bought a television from Emerson. The unit had a one year warranty. On the anniversary of the one year, the unit stopped working. I contacted Emerson and they told me to fax them a copy of the receipt. I was unable to locate my receipt but I went to the store (Walmart) where the item was purchased and they gave me a print-out from their systems. Emerson is refusing to take the receipt because they state that it does not show a price. The information from Walmart shows the product that was purchased, the date, and the store.

This is becoming a hassle because Walmart said that because I did not pay with a credit card, it was the only invoice they could duplicate. I need help.

Just like many listed before, we bought the TV after Thanksgiving day special. Within a few weeks, when you turn the TV (or try to rather), the green light flashes and you hear a pop like it's coming on, but does not. We have called Emerson several times who state that we need to take it to get serviced as it is under warranty. However, everywhere we call states they are no longer willing to service Emerson's under warranty. I'm so frustrated. Is there nothing we can do? Even the darn Emerson's website seems to be faulty. When you click on "service centers" the link is broken! What's up with that? Emerson, get in the game or get out!

After reading the log on complaints for the Emerson HDTV (Model: LC320EM82), I am having the same problem. My TV is now useless to me. I have struggled in finding the parts that I need to repair the TV. This TV cost me over $600.00, and the consequences are I am out the money and the TV.

It's an Emerson LC320EM. I have bought this product and after 3 months, the TV turns off after 2 seconds. They will not help in any way; they say it's my problem and then hang up on you!

I bought an Emerson 32" LCD TV from Walmart on Black Friday and like every person who has purchased this TV has come to realize, it does not turn on and only blinks red and green. Totally a manufacturer defect that should be recalled. Still, you must pay more than the TV to get it fixed. Absolute scam. I now have no tv and a $200 brick in my living room.

We purchased a 42" LCD television set at a local Wal-Mart. We opened the set up on Christmas day, plugged it in and literally, the fireworks started. As soon as we plugged the set in, it blew the fuses for half the house. Our DirecTV boxes started smoldering. The rest of the DirecTV boxes were blown. The DirecTV box attached the to Emerson TV started shocking anyone who touched it (of course, we unplugged it immediately) and the surge protector the television was plugged into was fried and the outlet itself shorted out.

Wal-Mart has been very accommodating and cooperative. They have been great. DirecTV boxes and system was fried. The surge protector was fried. The outlet was fried and two fuses were blown. We have no DirecTV for a week. No TV. Had to replace the outlet, the surge protector and the DirecTV receivers. Still waiting for DirecTV assessment of equipment damage.

I bought an Emerson LCD 22-inch flat screen TV. I have had this TV for barely 2 weeks and the color is beginning to flicker and change. I purchased it at WalMart and will be returning it.

On Nov.30, 2010, my television showed a screen that went from black to red to green and to grey repeatedly. I was unable to turn the TV off. I could get no picture. I finally unplugged the TV and waited and replugged. The same response occurred approximately 5 times.

The television is less than a year old ad was purchased at Walmart. Very bad business as I read other complaints. Do I have any recourse other than trashing the thing? I lost $140.00.

We purchased the Emerson 42" LCD TV on Black Friday, Nov 26, 2010. We did not hook it up until Nov 27, 2010. Within 24 hrs, the screen was black with no picture. We promptly returned it to WalMart after reading all the terrible reviews on this TV. It proves the saying you get what you pay for.

I purchased a small Emerson very portable Combo TV when visiting my brother down in NM about 2001 to use to carry in my RV as I traveled. As life changed, I kept the TV in my office. Played great, great pix and sound -- no problems! Better than the flat screen I bought this year, 2010 which I just sent in for repair, sound is terrible, takes for-forever to change channels, etc, etc, etc! This week, when I hooked the older, little TV up to my little Roku Netflix player, to save funds on utilities, the TV will now only play the Roku stuff! Can not change from Roku selection!

I even Tried disconnecting all of the wires and it 'seemed to remember' the little player. I know the TV has no memory, but, with no wired connection to the Roku, it still did not play the cable shows. I now can not even use it to see regular TV on it -- and, the big problem is the Netflix movies have horrible color; the little TV had great color last week and the volume is better than the new flat screen I just purchased earlier this year - 2010. After hooking up to the Roku, the TV seems to need 'degassing' -- it did have great color in the office just last week! Crazy!

I purchased an 32inch LCD Model# LC320EM1 on June 7th, 2010 and it no longer will turn on. It is suppose to have a 1 year manufacture warranty but it does not cover labor which will cost more than the TV. I do not understand the business ethics of continuing to sell a product that the company knows does not work. This is fraud. No corporate responsibility. This product needs to be recalled and the consumers reimbursed for the defective product that is still on the market.

My Emerson LCD TV died a week ago and I haven't had it for too long! I will never buy Emerson's products ever again! It turned off by itself and never came back on again!

Bought in Jan. 2010, used very little. As of June 2010, has developed horizontal lines which makes it impossible to watch. Still under warranty for parts but can't find any one who will service. Total waste of money. They should not be allowed to sell garbage like this.

We purchased a 19" Emerson TV for our daughter for Christmas 2009. My daughter is only home with us 50% of the time so the TV was used very little. About 2 months ago, we turned the TV on and the screen alternates between blue green and red. Luckily, we saved the receipt and it is still under warranty for parts at least. The only problem is the closest service center is in Denver, 90 miles away. My husband is driving to bring the TV today but after reading other posts I'm afraid of how much it is going to cost to get this TV fixed. What a piece of ** this TV is. I would never buy another Emerson again. We have a Sony in our bedroom and it has been great.

My TV was working. I shut it off. I tried to turn it on one hour later and it would not come on. I tried everything to check it out and nothing worked. I am tired of this product. I was not able to contact any representative for the company. I would like this TV fixed or my money refunded.

I bought the Emerson 32-inch TV on Black Friday last year in 2009 and today the TV died. It has the green light then the red light. But it never turns on. This really ** me off because if I had known that so many people were having problems, I would not have wasted my money. I saved up for 6 months for that TV. I could not believe that it has not been recalled yet. I want my money back or the TV replaced. This is not fair.

I purchased and Emerson LCD TV from Walmart the day after Thanksgiving last for less than $200.00. While listening to TV one evening about 3 weeks ago, the sound goes completely out on TV. I called te manufacturer and explain my issue, after troubleshooting and that not working, I was informed that purchased was still covered under warranty for parts but not labor. And to have the labor done on the TV to the repair center recommended by Emerson would charge me 200.00. That's a little more than what I purchased the TV for originally.

I'm disappointed that Emerson would only cover labor within the first 90 when the store would return the TV within that time period. I'm not satisfied with the service from manufacturer. I should not have to pay for another TV just to have them to look and see what's wrong with the one I have. I would like a replacement or my money back. Whatever happened to customer service?

I bought my Emerson TV model number LC320EMXF on Black Friday Last November 11th to 27th 2009 and now when I turned it on, the green light flashes and the TV is blank but before this, my volume was starting to go on it; so I wouldn't recommend this product to anybody.

I bought an Emerson TV 42-inch flat screen from Roses Dept. Store for $450. The TV lasted 8 months. It comes on and goes right back out. I talk to Roses and they said it had only a 30-day warranty and they could not help me. I have been trying to talk with someone at Emerson with no answer in sight. I think this is wrong to sell products that only last 8 months. I took it to two different TV repair shops and was told by both it cost just as much to fix it as I paid for it. And after looking online, it seems all their TV has the same problem. This is so unfair to us who trusted it was a good TV with all these people having the same thing going wrong to tell it's the TV and not something we have done.

I purchased an Emerson TV. It was a plasma 42-inch. I opened the box after the fact and noticed no TV base. I called Wal-Mart then they requested that I contact Emerson. I did so. I made all the necessary contacts. They said my stand would be out in 1 week. I waited and waited for my email tracking and no response. I finally reached a live person a month later. I asked, "Where is my stand?' They said, "I am so sorry, we no longer have this model available or any accessories, not even a handbook. This model was limited to 100,000 TVs. So we no longer have any in stock or any in the future."

So now I have a TV with no stand/mount. The only thing that is available is a wall mount which I do not want. There are no universal stands/mounts for this brand of TV. I am out $500.00 and no stand or mount for my television. All Emerson said is that they are sorry for the inconvenience. As for Wal-Mart, since I do not have a box, they will not accept the return.

We purchased a 32" Emerson flat screen TV from Wal-Mart on 8/09 and it is now 9/10. About 2 weeks ago, the sound went in and out for no apparent reason. We paid $550.00 for this TV. How am I to fix this problem? I will never purchase any Emerson products ever again. They should take all of their merchandise off the shelf. I am very upset, but what can I do?

Emerson TVs 32 inch. I bought it at Wal-Mart last year on Black Friday and its not working. I noticed how almost of all non working TVs were bought at Wal-Mart. Does Emerson send the defective TVs to Wal-Mart that's why they're cheaper? Aand we, suckers, loose our money. Why? Because at the end we give up and rather buy a new one instead of keep fighting. Text or Facebook to ask people to quit buying from Emerson until they do a recall at non working Vs. Maybe that will get their attention. Everyone that has had a problem should contact the Better Business Bureau. The more complains they get, the more chances that they will listen.

I bought a 32" Emerson LCD TV on 04/03/08 in Harker Heights, TX. I paid $558.00 with out tax. Within 7 months, it went out, the TV repairman could not get the part and they kept telling me that it was not under warranty, when I talked to Wal-Mart about this, the sales clerk said "Well sorry about that, we don't stock that brand any longer". Like she really cared. Emerson says that it was not under warranty, since it has been this long now, hey what happened to all the times that I called before?

I tried to get it repaired but it was going to cost me 274.00 for repairs, something to do with the switch inside the TV. I tried to turn it on and the green light comes on for a split second and then the red light comes on. I don't know about you people but I have been trying now for over a year to get this taken care neither Emerson or Wal-Mart can care less, next time I will do with out a TV. I live on a fixed income and can not expect to pay for a TV every year.

We had this TV for only 5 months. I woke up one morning, went to go and turn it on and it wouldn't come on. I have called customer service every day since it has happened. It's now 2 weeks. They won't do anything about it. They keep telling me to contact them in a couple days, and I keep doing that and nothing is still being done about it. When I bought this from Wal-Mart in Horseheads, New York, I bought a 2-year extended warranty with it. I bought this on March 1, 2010. Plus a year came with it. I'm really highly fed up with these people, if something isn't done about it. I will make sure something gets done about it and they're not gonna like me at all.

In February 2008, I purchased a 32-inch Emerson HDTV flat screen. My television stopped working on August 23, 2010. I turn it on and the green light flashes and it goes to the red standby light. I am so frustrated to understand this is a common problem for this television.

I bought an Emerson flat screen 19-inch TV in March of 2009. Model number LV195EM9E. The TV simply will not turn on. We've tested the batteries in the remote. They are good. Now, reading different people's stories, this type of thing is common with these sets. Like others, our budget is limited and we can't go right out and pay for the repair or hop down to the store after going to our money tree to grab the cash. What a crock. I've already cut way back on my shopping at Walmart. This isn't going to make me go there more. There needs to be a recall or something for those of us who got gypped. The economic damage is probably going to be the loss of around $300 because there is a semi-invalid in the house who depends on TV for entertainment and news.

My husband and I purchased a Emerson television from Wal-Mart (model# lc32oem82s). We did not have it very long till the problem come along! The television turns off right when you turn it on. It's clearly a malfunction from the company. The rep was not hearing that at all! It was more or less from her my loss.And do go right ahead and report the problem into the better business but because they have plenty other customers buying the televisions my word against them is nothing.I was LIVID! I misplaced our receipt and I got told by the rep there is nothing they can do about the warranty.They can clearly see by our model number when we bought it. I will never buy another Emerson television again! And with all the complaints they should be made to do recalls on them free of charge. We spend our hard earned money on the televisions and a couple months later, our money is wasted? This is not fair at all.

I bought an Emerson 32" LCD TV on black Friday from Wal-Mart in 2009. Today is August 18 2010 and like many of the other posters, I have the same problem. The TV turns itself off after being on for a few seconds. I took it apart and their wasn't anything apparently wrong and I have the TV plugged into a surge protector since I've owned it. It is obviously a product malfunction so I don't see why there is no product recall or at least free fixing for those experiencing the problem. To be quite frank, it's b***t and i won't be buying another Emerson TV ever again.

We purchased a model LC320EM9B Emerson 32" LCD TV (mistake #1) from Wal-Mart (mistake #2) for our lake home. The sales clerk said that we didn't have to send in the warranty card because it was automatically activated when they input the sales info. After less than 1 month's play time, the power source went out (Mistake #3). After being told we had no warranty coverage, the repair man got zero response from Emerson in his attempts to get the new part.

On March 17 2010, I bought an Emerson flat TV, 32-inch model LC32EMX serial # ds1 A0948268446. Four month later on July the TV isn't working. I contact the company and they refuse to help me. I wish that you can help me.

I got my TV for Christmas 2009 and it was bought at Wal-Mart. The TV sometimes goes off about 20 times a day. It will go off for about a minute or so and then come back on. I think something should be done by the company to help with this problem.

I purchased an Emerson Flat Screen 32" LCD TV from Walmart on Nov 27/09. He opened it on Christmas day, 12/25/09. 7 months later, 07/25/10, it stopped working. The TV will not turn on at all. I called Emerson and they refuse to stand behind their product by giving a refund. They said they would pay for parts, but I'd have to pay labor which is ridiculous. It's their product that failed. I mailed in my product registration card and did what I needed to do. Now it's time for them to follow through on their end.

I went to turn my less than two-year-old TV on and it would turn itself right back off.

I called the company and the representative who I spoke with was rude and uncaring. I don't understand why they are not forced to recall. I know times are tough for me and a lot of others as well, but I bet the people at Emerson have plenty of money, after making a joke of a TV and myself. I lose money that could have been for a brand of TV that another company and myself could be proud of.

I purchased a Emerson 32" flat screen television about a year ago it worked fine then I get up in the morning and try and turn it on and it goes to the green power light for about a second then straight back to the red standby light. Then I start researching this and find out that it has happened to numerous people, I mean there should be a recall on this product if something in the TV is defected and the problem continues to happen.

I don't make a lot of money so I was very proud that I was able to purchase this television and after almost a year it quits working it just makes you aggravated that they would continue to sale a product that is defected and with all the complaints that I have read I am sure they are aware about the problem.

There was an awful smell and the TV started smoking which happened on July 17th 2010. I am waiting to hear back from Emerson and we are out of a TV that cost 600 dollars!

I bought an Emerson LC320oEM9 TV. Now just one year later the power inverter board goes out. Replaced board and TV, still do the same thing! There are others out there with the same problem. Why haven't they recalled these TVs and replaced the customers TV? Funny, how they get no longer sale that television but have replaced that model TV? This has been a nightmare for me and my wife, not to mention I no longer believe Emerson respect their customers any more. I have lost over $400 with this TV.

I bought Emerson #005381828510S 19-inch TV on January 2010. It failed on June 2010. $258.00 is the purchase price.

We purchased the Emerson 32" Digital LCD TV from Wal-Mart in January 2008. Last night as we were watching TV, we smelled an awful odor. After investigating, the smell was coming from the TV. We turned it off for a little while to let it cool down. When we turned the TV back on my husband found the TV was on fire. We turned the TV off and unplugged it. We have not turned it back on since. I did call customer service. He took down the complaint and advised he would forward the information to upper management and see where it went. I also logged it into their customer service web page.

We purchased an Emerson 19" LCD with DVD player attached only about six months ago. Today, it turned off. When attempting to push the "on" button, it stays green for about two seconds then immediately turns back to stand-by or immediately turns off. The screen does not turn on and it makes a slight static noise. We, like most people, have paid a hefty price for this TV and it should be covered by Emerson, no matter what. I see that many people have this similar problem and I feel horrible for blaming my son for what happened, when it is really because Emerson does not make quality products.

In September, 2008, I bought an Emerson 19" digital LCD TV (LC195EM9 B) online from WalMart. It didn't work, which should have been my first clue. I spent a lot of time on the phone with tech support and was told I got a lemon, but I could return it to the nearest WalMart and just trade it out. So I did trade it out with no problem. Everything was fine until 18 months later when I turned on the tv and nothing happened! Occasionally I turn it on to see if it might work. I threw it away today.

I got it on sale for around $200. It isn't worth it to pay for repairs, especially because the unit wasn't even worth the original sale price. The sound was so tinny, it sounded like a transistor radio. I say good riddance to bad rubbish, and I will NEVER buy anything Emerson again! I lost the original receipt but remember I paid around $200-something plus tax.

I bought a 32" HD flat screen T.V from WAL-mart, 11/04/07 about 600plus dollars. something happened to the audio, going from low to high to low, this was in 12/10/08, i bought a extended warrenty, finally got it shipped off for repair, got it back in 1/16/09. had to rent a T.V for a month and a half, got it back. it worked for 6 and a half months, the exact same thing happened again. since june 09 i bought another T.V. i,m stuck with a lemon, its about time for a class action suit, how long is this company going too keep ripping people off?

About 18 months after purchasing an Emerson HD LCD TV it just stopped working. I contacted the company and they have no interest in doing anything to help me resolve the problem. I cannot find a service agent that can fix the problem. The customer servive people are rude and unwilling to offer any solution. I am out $450 and a TV I cannot afford to replace the set and it seems unreasonable to have to do so only 18 months after purchasing the TV brand new.

Five months after purchasing a 19" LCD-DVD flat screen TV the green and red indicator lights began flashing and the picture went out while watching it.It then began to make a continuous high pitched whining noise. It still makes this noise unless unplugged. It has not worked since. This seems to be a common occurence with their products and they seem to have to take no responsibility making TV's that don't last a reasonable amount of time!!!!! We actually purchased 2 of these at Christmas for our children. How long before the next one goes out?!

I purchased an Emerson 32" TV in July 2009. In September 2009, the TV started showing a line across the middle of the set horizontally. I called the number on the front of the owners manual, 866-, and they gave me a Reference #8DYTX to use when I faxed all of my supporting documents to them. I faxed all my paperwork on 10/23/09. They said they would get back to me in a few days and give me a repair shop to go to. I finally got someone to call me back and they gave me a repair shop, Chaparral Electronics, Upland Dr., Houston, TX, 713-, and I took my set to them on 11/6/09.

Today is June 8, 2010 and I have yet to get my TV back from Chaparral. Every time I call, they say they are ordering a part, just ordered a part, or waiting to get a part in. I have been calling the warranty service company, 866-309-8819, but they say they cant help me that I've got to call the repair shop. As you can see, all I'm getting is finger pointing back and forth. They last person I spoke with at the warranty company said he personally would see that on Monday, June 7th, I would either get my TV back repaired or I would receive a new one. That didn't happen. He didn't call me on Monday. I called him today and again he said the part is on order and I should call the repair shop if I wanted my TV back.

As you can imagine, I am at the end of my rope. I have contacted the local news - consumer affairs department, in hopes that they will have better luck than me. I have also contact Consumer Affairs and lodged a complaint as well as the local Better Business Bureau. Please contact me right away.

It has been a week and the TV will still not work. This seems to be the same problem that everyone else is having. I pray that Emerson and Walmart will soon make this right because they are ruining their reputation. This is causing a ton of problems because it will cost me $225-$300 to get the TV fixed and I can not afford it right now because I just bought a house. This is what I get for trying to save a little money and buying cheap.

My Emerson LCD TV (model no. LC320EM82) stopped working. The green power light comes on for 1-2 seconds and then the television immediately reverts to stand-by mode. I contact the Emerson (Funai) service department and they told me that they could not service my television because it has been over two years since I purchased it (purchased Jan 2008). According to TV repair service people and other customers the power sources on thee television are terrible and unreliable.

Now I have a $600 Tv done the toilet. Now not only will I not purchase anything from Walmart again (Emerson) should be hit with a class action lawsuit for making and selling Junk to the consumer. The model LC320em8an.is a dud and they know it. The cost of $650 plus the cost of $40 for having it checked out, makes for a pretty expensive experience. I would have gladly paid that much for an american made TV set.

None of the other tvs suffered any damage. I called emerson but was left on "ignore" indefinately. I am truly worried because just this past Nov, we purchased a 32in tv for our room, again an emerson from Wal-mart's black friday sale. How long will it be before it goes ka-put and we are out the $$$ on that as well. Unbelievable that EMERSON will not back their products, especially if they know that there is a problem, and it certainly seems that way. The only major "damage" is that our consumers are being treated this way by once again, a major corporation. It is unfair as a consumer to put your faith and loyalty in a product/company only to have them turn their backs on the people who trust them to supply a quality product.

So I decided to call around to see how much it would cost to fix this problem and everyone i have talked to has said it would take any where from $200 to $300 to fix! SERIOUSLY? That is more then the TV is worth. It makes absolutely no sense as to why this TV has not been recalled because EVERYONE has had this problem! and I believe that the company should fix the defect if it occurs at any point in time not just if it is under their 90 day labor warranty or their 1 year parts warranty! This company is a sorry business!

This is very discouraging to someone that would have never purchased this TV,had he known it would quit working like it did. And that Walmart or Emerson won't even respond to our E-mails. We will not shop at Walmart nor will we ever purchase Emerson products again. And word of mouth goes a long way!

I have the same complaint about this TV as everyone else. The TV shut off one day and did not come back on. I called the customer service number on the book that came with the TV and was given the same run around that all these people have experienced. I purchased the TV from Wal-Mart during the same time period the others had purchased theirs. $500 down the drain. No one at the Emerson customer service wanted to help me; in fact they hung up on me when I started to ask if they were aware of the problems with this TV. We spent a lot of money on this TV and cannot afford to buy another one right now.

I purchased an Emerson 32" flat screen in May of 08 and today it just cut off and is non-responsive and won't tear back on at all.

I purchased a 32" LCD television. It will not power on. The green light stays on a few seconds then goes off. I called Emerson and was told there is nothing they can do, the TV just went out of warranty.

I bought an Emerson 32" on Black Friday from Walmart in 2008. I guess you already know the story. The light turns on and then turns off. I called Emerson. They said to unplug it, press the standby button for ten seconds, and wait 30 minutes for the system to reset. Of course it didn't. I may as well have stood on my head and clapped my hands for 3 minutes and tried again.

My daughter gave me the TV about 5 months ago. She had purchased 5 TVs (different sizes) from Walmart, who had them on sale. She moved to a smaller home and didn't need the one she had in the kitchen, which she seldom watched. It played fine and then I turned it on one morning and it wouldn't stay on. The picture would come on fine, but would cut off in a few seconds.

I didn't call Emerson because it was a gift. I called Sears repair and they said it would cost $29.99 to drop it off and they would send it out for repair. If the total charge was $85 or less, the $29.99 would be deducted and if more and I chose not to repair it, the $29.99 would become a diagnostic fee. After reading the comments, it seems like a waste of money. I'm a senior on a low fixed income and can't afford to purchase another TV which is about the only entertainment I enjoy.

We bought an Emerson HD TV in 2008 and came home today to find that it won't turn on. We had no issues beforehand and now it's done. From what I have read, this is becoming more and more common with Emerson TV's and they don't want to deal with it. When you spend that amount of money on an item, you expect it to work for more than 2 years. Our televisions do. Our stoves do. They need to fix this and pay for shipping and handling of these items.

On Jan. 26, 2008, I purchased a 32" Emerson LCD TV From Wal-Mart. It only worked for 12 months. A Wal-Mart employee told me they only return up to 90 days, no help at all. I cannot afford another TV, so will do without. I will never purchase electronics from Wal-Mart again.

I bought a flat screen 32' Emerson, Dec of '08 at Walmart. I did not buy the extended protection, I do not have the receipt. This morning, April 09, 2010, my children turned the TV on and it did as everybody is saying it blinks green for a few second then goes back to red, I shut it off pulled the plug for hours and it still has done nothing, so I started researching and found where I'm not the only one that this has happened to. I printed out all that I found, because in my opinion (like others as well) I think this should be a recall, or if nothing else a class action suit.

I have a TV that is over 15 years old and still works great to this day. It us, not American in my opinion that we have to pay the high costs of these electronics today, and they are no better than kids toys, you might as well be prepared to spend the money to replace them within the year. But you look at things that were made back in the day, and over half are still running as they should when they were made. And you cannot get help from these companies. They are more willing to tell you, there is nothing they can do for you, unlike some of the companies back then that believed in the customer.

We purchased an Emerson 32" TV Model BLC320EM9 on Black Friday, 2008. I woke up on 4/2/10 and it simply won't turn on. There is no reason for it. The owner's manual said if there is a break in power to unplug it for 30 minutes to allow it to reset. There was no break in power, as it was plugged into the surge protector strip with the computer and DVD player but we tried leaving it unplugged for two hours.

Still nothing. I called the customer service number on the owner's manual and spoke with Valerie in customer service. She was rude at best and told me I needed to talk with the warranty department and she gave me another number to call. I called that number which is for "level 2 customer service" with Funai Electric and ended up leaving a message. I called Walmart and they will not take it back or exchange it since it has been more than a year and I don't have the box or receipt.

I am wondering if anyone can force Funai into a recall considering all the complaints regarding the same issues. I now have no TV. I can't afford to just go out and buy another TV. I think this is the most sinister of actions because it was the lower income people who purchased this TV on Black Friday because it was cheap and they needed something to switch over to digital TV. That is the only reason we purchased it.

I have the same problem as everyone else with their Emerson flat screen TV turning itself off one minute, never to turn back on again. My friend bought the flat screen TV on Black Friday 2008, two years ago, thinking she had an awesome deal on the TV, and then gave it to me as a birthday present in January 2009. It is a nice looking TV and I really don't watch it that often, but when I did, it had a nice picture and good sound. I had it on one night and it just up and turned itself off and wouldn't turn back on.

All that happens now when the power button is pressed, is the green indicator light blinks and about 2 seconds later, it makes a high pitch squeal of sorts and then turns to the red indicator and goes back to the standby mode. I unplugged the TV for a while, tried different plugs, even unplugged the cable and still nothing works. I called the manufacturer and the woman that answered said it was out of warranty, and that was all she could do.

She didn't offer a solution except to say I could try to take it back to Walmart for an exchange, which without a box or receipt, they won't take it either. She did say that she had heard it had happened a couple of times prior, but there was no further attempts to make it 'better'. Now I am out a TV and in financial situation to afford anything else. I have no TV to watch, I just listen to the radio for news, weather and music, which, to tell you the truth, has become very annoying. I never realized those stations play the same dang song over and over all day!

In Dec.'08, I bought an Emerson TV at Wal-Mart, model #LC195EM9 B, serial # J15822360. Since about the 1st of February this TV quit giving me several of the local stations, 2 of which are my favorite. My Cox cable technician told me that the tuner had gone bad and to call Emerson. I did call 3-24-'10 and talked to Theona, I.D. #7330. She said that my 1 year warranty was up and since I didn't buy an extended warranty, that they won't help me at all. I asked her to let it be known that I'll never buy another Emerson product and I will be filing a complaint on them.

I cannot afford to buy another digital TV. It's in my bedroom and now in order to watch my favorite shows, I have to stay up and watch them on my Sylvania TV in the living room. If and when I can, I'll be buying a Sylvania or Sony at Sears. Thanks for your time.

I can not believe what I am reading and how many complaints this Emerson 32-inch TV has. I was actually looking on the internet to see if I could trouble shoot for this TV I purchased from Wal-Mart in February of 2008. What I did find while searching the web is that this is not an easy fix and there seems to be some sort of manufacturing issue. I can not believe I am out of about $600.00. I can not afford to buy another TV and I am sick at what I have learned. There has to be something that could be done since so many people have had the same issue. Does this company just not care or what? I have the same problem as everyone else of turning on the TV. The green light blinks and about two seconds later it turns red and goes back to the standby mode. I unplugged the TV for a while--nothing works. All I did was go to bed one night, turn the TV off and in the morning it wouldn't come back on.

I purchased an Emerson model CR202EM9 20" television around the end of December of 2008 and it stopped working (won't turn on) in February of 2010.

Purchased 32" LCD TV model LC320EM, just before the warranty was up, it would not stay on, the power button would flash green for 1 second then turn red, and would not come on at all. I called Emerson, they were very unhelpful, told me it shouldn't have happened yet, meaning they know this was going to happen. Had to pay $65.00 to have it repaired and guess what, it lasted another year and the same thing happened again. This means that the part they called a ballast is a defective part and they know this. But now, the part is out of warranty, so to get it fixed would be about $180.00 because the now, the labor is not covered.

And I know after a year, this part goes bad, this came from the repairman's own mouth when I called to check on the repair cost. Emerson is selling merchandise they know is defective and they should not be allowed to get away with this. There are hundreds, if not thousands of complaints. What does it take to make them accountable for their actions?

I bought a 19" LCD/DVD LD195EMX from Wal-Mart on February 16, 2009 for my son. He watches DVDs everyday and 10 days after having the TV we put a DVD in and it just ejects right back out. I contacted the manufacturer and they sent me a replacement that was refurbished. It has been 3 days since we got it and it is doing the same thing now. My son can't watch his movies.

I am writing this on behalf of my soon-to-be husband. We have been together for ten years. When he finally felt we were financially secure and able to keep our house, he finally bought his self one thing: an Emerson HDTV, model LC320EMX. This man has purchased absolutely nothing for his self in the past five years, not even clothes! He purchased this television on August 3, 2009.

Since then, he has barely watched it and neither have I, since we have spent the last 6 months trying to find a way to keep all of his professional equipment on our own property! He worked all his life to obtain everything he has. Last Tuesday, he suffered a massive stroke.

I am so very sick over this one last thing, this $400 tv he purchased from Wal-mart in New Smyrna Beach, FL. Both the manager there, Robert **, and the assistant manager, "David," who refused to give his last name, were inconsiderate and said the same thing that Emerson customer support said, "You should have purchased the extended warranty." On the Emerson website, "Wal-mart" is listed as "a featured partner' for the "excellent technology and the highest of quality" Emerson HDTV, "providing customers with high quality products at an affordable price."

David assured me he would contact Emerson and work it out and call me by the end of the day. He did not, and there was no message on my answering machine or a telephone call from the store on the caller ID on my telephone. I almost vomited in my car on the way home from the rehabilitation and recovery center he is in, after hearing him trying to tell me he couldn't wait to come home and watch "his new TV," since the TV in his room doesn't have a remote that works.

I have read so many of the complaints on this site about the Emerson TVs, all with similar model numbers, and our TV does the same exact thing... just stopped turning on. The green light flashes for a second or two, but it never comes on and the light goes back to red. The red light stays on, even if I unplug it for an hour.

What's next? Will this defective piece of junk burn down our home before he gets better? The customer support tech at Emerson, who was also inconsiderate, told me it was a defect in one of their own part in the power center of the TV. The reference number he gave was **, so that I could tell the "local" authorized repair center that's an hour away from me and so they would know what part to replace. But I'd have to pay for the labor which the tech said "shouldn't take more than three hours to replace" at a cost of anywhere from $50 to $75 per hour. Funny how the Emerson tech support representatives know which part number is defective and how long it will take to replace and how much it will cost. Has anyone else noticed this?

The Emerson HDTV, model # LC320EMX was puchased from Wal-mart, the same "distributor" that many of the other complaints have mentioned. Also funny how many of the other complaints have received no assistance from the Wal-mart stores. I can't help but wonder how and why the results of many of the problems have similar outcomes. Also, I wonder how and why Wal-mart aggressively advertised the Emerson televisions. Maybe Emerson and Walmart are "friends."

I've shopped at Walmart in Ny, NC, Vt, and now Florida: almost always they will give a refund, exchange, or store credit for a product, even when you've lost the receipt. Now all of a sudden, we are all immediately turned away as soon as they find out it's an Emerson TV. In fact, that is the first question the Wal-mart manager asked me: "What brand of television is it? " When I replied "Emerson," he said, "Oh." I asked him if he needed the model number, and he said, "No, that's not necessary."

I had purchased a 19" TV from Walmart about 8 months ago and the TV turns itself on and off. If you leave it on, none of the buttons work. You can't change the channel or volume. It is really frustrating. I have tried contacting Emerson and they said it was out of warranty and they want me to pay $60-$70 to have it fixed. I think this should be a recall issue. It is not just a couplethere are thousands out there with the same problem.

I have 32 inch Emerson LCD TV it went out once on me already. IT was fixed and sent back to me. It's been a year now and it went out on me again. I was told it is out of warranty now. It's the only TV I have. I see this is a common problem so why is nothing being done. I have green haze with lines on the screen. It's the same thing it did last time.

I purchased an Emerson flat screen TV from Walmart. The TV will no longer work. When you go to turn it on and it shuts off. They haven't done a recall and there are so many people that are complaining about this issue yet Emerson charges $60-$70 to repair it then it breaks again. I can't afford to drop $60-$70 or even $$500 every time something breaks. The point of this purchase for us was to upgrade and the price was decent.

However, I would've spent and extra $100 on a Vizio by Sony instead which are now top of the line! Walmart will not exchange or return the TV because it's been a year and we no longer have the box or receipt. I do however have bank record of the purchase. I still have not even had a response with Emerson since I complained on their website. Frustrated and stressed about how we are going to come up with another $500-$900 for a new TV! I am using my daughters 13" Spongebob TV right now.

I bought an Emerson 32" flat screen TV on Black Friday. The TV lasted two years and it is rarely used. I went to turn it on and it didn't work. No one wants to take responsibility for it.

I bought an Emerson model number LC195EMX 11-28-09. It has a green vertical line on the left side of the screen. I have not contacted anyone about the problem. I figure It really would not help. Most likely, I will just buy another but not Emerson. Problem in just 3 months is not right. I do not even use that much. It is used in the bedroom for maybe a few hours a night. It is a factory problem. I do not hold Wal-mart at fault.

I bought my Emerson 32" TV at Wal-Mart. After 1 1/2 yrs it wont turn on and off. I paid $500 for it. Wal-Mart won't honor the warranty, nor Emerson. Rip off!

Another unfortunate individual who purchased a lemon Emerson TV from the giant Walmart. Emerson offers no help or recourse, other than to give you the address and phone number of the closest repair shop. The TV was working fine for almost two years. Then, when it was turned off, it's now dead to the world. I understand warranty periods. However, when this many people have the same complaint about the same product--it's not right, warranty period or not. I did write a letter to a group online just called Class Action Attorneys. I also wrote Walmart to advise them about it.

Walmart has forgotten that their success has been built on the backs of working people that have believed in them. I do know that if Mr. Sam were alive, this would not be allowed to continue and somehow, things would've been made right. To further rub salt in the wound and to show Walmart's complete disregard for their customers, visit their website and check out flat screen TVs. Keep paging down and they are again offering Emerson TVs for sale! This is the height of hypocrisy. I remarked to them that I expect no fruition from my complaint or action. But then again, nobody thought David stood a change against Goliath either!

I purchased Emerson TV Model #LC320EM9B in Jan 2008, manufactured in June 2008 from Walmart. In January 2009, it cut off and the green light would blink but cannot get a picture or sound. I called customer service for Emerson on back of TV. They said it has a one year warranty and since I called on 2/19/2010, it was expired and there was nothing they can do.

We paid $460 for this TV for one year use? Unbelievable. And I have read there are people everywhere having this problem but Emerson refuses to back up their products. Customer service told us to take it to a repair dealer. Should I have to pay to have it repaired after one year? I will never purchase an Emerson product again and will let everyone I know what crooks that company is, rip-off! I will also let Walmart know that they are carrying defective products and they are passing the buck too so we should not purchase from Walmart either.

Bought TV from Wal-Mart. Eight months later, I went to turn it on and it would not work. I paid $600 and had always been a fan of Emerson until this. I called Emerson. They told me to take it to a repair store but all of them said they did not work on them any more because Emerson would not pay. So in the end, I had thrown away $600 and still cannot buy another TV for my son. It has been the worst expense I have ever had with any company and I will never buy any Emerson product in my life.

Bought 32 inch TV from Walmart, paid over $500.00 for it and it stopped working after 8 months. Brought the TV to the repair shop and they told me that it was unrepairable.

I purchased a TV and powers off and goes into standby mode. It will not turn on and it is three months old. It is a hassle and very disappointing.

Emerson 37" Flat screen, LC320EM82 S - I am yet another victim of this Emerson/Wal-Mart/Funai ***. My TV was manufactured in 01/2008. I purchased it on 03/2008. All of a sudden yesterday (02/15/2010), the TV will not come on. I called the 800 # on the back of the TV. The CSR stated after hearing my reason for calling that TV is too new to be doing that already. Already? It's obvious to me that this is a known issue and none of the jokers (Emerson/Wal-Mart/Funai) are willing to make it right. I would love to be a part of a class action suit against any/all three of them! Count me in.

On November 2009, on a Black Friday, I purchased a 32-inch HDTV from Walmart in Chicago.

On December of 2010, the color changed and the things that were or supposed to be blue is now green. I paid $338.00 for what I thought was a good purchase at the time. I saved for a year in order to purchase this TV and I was proud to finally get something up to date. I am taking care of other family members and I can't afford to buy another TV.

Now, I'm looking at a red and green screen. I couldn't afford the insurance at the time. I'm so disappointed with Emerson product. I know that they have to know about their merchandise but the question is, what are they willing to do about it.

My husband and I also purchased a 32" LCD TV with model number LC320EM9-3. It was manufactured in June 2008. We bought this on January 4, 2009.at our local Wal-mart. On January 8, 2010, we experienced the same problem as countless others. The TV would not turn on; it went straight to stand-by mode. We paid $424.79 for this piece of crap. We have 5 children at home and can't go out and replace what was lost. That's wrong. Emerson needs to make it right to us, innocent consumers, and Wal-mart needs to quit selling them. We will never buy anything from Emerson again and tell others likewise.

I bought this television from Walmart about 2 years ago. The first year of having this TV, I came home, turned it on and it turned itself off. So I called the company and they told me to bring it to one of their repair shop. They fixed it and I paid for labor. The second time, the same thing happened. Now I have to throw this TV out because I don't want to fix it and have the same thing happen. I have a Vizio TV in my bedroom for a year and half and it's still running. Emerson TV sucks and it's a waste of money.

I purchased a 32-inch LCD TV LC320EM82S on February 23, 2008. This model's life is 23 months and I am very unhappy with this product. It's a piece of junk, I won't buy any Emerson products. I went to turn the TV on but it would not come on. I checked all cables and called the company. They said it's needed to be checked by an authorized repair service and be repaired at our expense, not under warranty. Who can afford to purchase TVs every 23 months? Its purchased price was $597.06 including tax.

I bought a 32-inch Emerson TV from Walmart a little over a year ago and it has been a P.O.S. ever since I had it. Unlike most of the people complaining, mine's been working but it does not get a signal when trying to watch TV from an antenna. I live in a rural area and my old TV worked flawlessly. I want what I paid for it back! This 575 dollar piece of crap has to have at least a 75 to 80% on the signal meter or it goes blank. Now, if a 75 or 80 passed you in school, then why is it not good enough to receive television reception? I first thought it was the "better digital transmission" but I had a friend buy a different model LCD TV and his works perfectly. We live next door to each other and are using identical antennas at the same height about 50ft apart so it has to be the TV.

I think something needs to be done about this. I'm a poor unemployed person and I don't have $600 to throw away every year on something like this. The only reason I got this ** thing is because the digital switch was coming soon at the time and between tax money and having my old TV sold, I thought it was the thing to do. It looks to me like the guy who bought my 12-year old RCA got the better deal. I personally am boycotting Emerson altogether and all of you readers out there should do the same. They forget that it's our money that keeps them going and they do lost me as a customer. I also think the Boston Tea Party will eventually be reenacted except this time, it will be all of these cheap ** Chinese electronics going in the water if they don't make this right! Hey, a man can still dream for free, right?

Purchased the 32" Emerson flat screen tv June 2007. In August of 2009 I noticed a blue/green line going down the screen but it would disappear after 5 minutes. The line then stayed longer 15-30 minutes but still disappear. Then about November 2009 the single line was joined by another and now December 2009 there are multiple lines. The majority disappear after several minutes but two remain, one fades to yello and the other green. I too paid over $500 for this product and expected a longer than 2+ year life on the product.

emerson model LC320EM82 will turn on for a second or two and go back to standby mode rendering it unuseable it was manufactured dec 2007 and i have owned it somewhere in the 2 year range and 2 years is not a justifiable lifespan on a tv. I have also read dozens of complaints of the same problem. It seems to me this is another case of them building something to break in a certain amount of time to be able to stay in buisiness (modern economics). I just want to watch tv so I bought one took care of it and still 2 years later it goes out that is not right by any standard so i want my money back or a new one.And if was able to get a new one instead of my money back in two years when it broke they should replace it too. Or the company should be made to pay restitution to all of the people they dooped and then resighn their right to manufacture.

I purchase a 19 inch Emerson Tv from Walmart about that was manufactured around June 2008. the Tv stopped working December 2009. I called the company and they referred me to a repair shop. Because warrenty is over, so they were not concerned that this prodduct quality was not good.

I purchased 32" Emerson TV from Walmart Nov 2008 and Nov 2009 the TV stop powering on. Nobody to speak to about the warranty and when I emailed them I still haven't recieved a response.

I am sick!! These people need to make good on the product. My warranty was up and did not get the extended one, which is beside the point...it would just be more aggravation. I paid $478.00 for this TV!! It should last a heck of alot longer than this.. We need a class action suit or sue individually..Too many people with problems. They will not stand behind there product. I want to contact my credit card company to see if there is anything I can do.The service people said it was the panel board. It would cost about $200.00. Then there is no guarantee that it will not go bad in another way!!

Add me to the list of people who bought the 32" Emerson TV from Walmart. The same problem of turning on the TV- the green light blinks and about 2 seconds later it turns red and goes back to the standby mode.

I waited a week and called them back only to be told they are still investigating it. I explained to them that all they needed to do was look at their own web site and see the complaints about this TV. I asked why wasn't there a recall done on this TV and was told because Walmart don't want to loose money and Emerson won't admit the product is faulty. I'm not asking for money back. I only want what I paid for and that's a TV that works. Why should the consumer have to pay the price while walmart and Emerson get rich? PLEASE HELP ME!

i bought the emerson lc320em8a from walmart in 2008 and 12-12-09 couldn't turn it back on. it green light will flash and back off again, wont stay on, i open the tv and at see if any thing on the board been burned, found nothing burned. just bad power supply. after reading all these people similar problem i dont feel like any use to call emerson tech support. so sad waste 600 dollars for a little over a year used. big time scam never emerson again promise.

I purchased a 32' LCD Emerson television from Walmart about a year ago and about 2 weeks ago I went to turn the television on and it will not cut on. After reading all the complaints about this tv I have come to realize that it is the power supply to the tv and seeing the amount of complaints about this I would say this is a defect in this model and believe everyone that purchased this tv should have some kind of recoarse on the money that was spent on these tv's..

Bought the WalMart BF Deal on the LC320EMXF 32" HDTV for 250 and it's sweet! Love it! Had trouble with the picture at first but that was user error! Ha! This TV has turned out to be one of my better TV buys yet! I'm glad to hear about what to possibly expect for the tv. Emerson has a customer support page and Tech help on their webpage, try that for those who had problems.

I purchased an Emerson LCD 32 in TV it lasted for only two months, then the power supply went out. I called the 800 number and Emerson paid for the part but I had to pay $175 for the labor. I brought the TV home, it played for 6 months, know its gone out again, Emerson tells me there is no more they can do. I think they should be held accountable for the terrible products they are selling. This is the same TV that was on the WalMart Black Friday Ad.

Its just a sad thing that all these people purchase the same TV and none of them work. This company should definetely held accountable, and there should be a recall on all these products. Emerson is going down the tubes. Don't ever buy one of their product, they are the worst.

bought a 32 inch emerson television and broke a little over a year. the company does not care about the consumer and refuses to take responsibility for making junk. ignores my emails and hangs up on me when i call. scams the consumers everytime

Walmart Black Friday Special Emerson TV 32 inch waited from Midnight till 5:00am to get the TV. Brought it home and hooked it up. It had a blue cast to the TV and looked terrible. Called Emerson there customer service was horrendous. Took the TV back to Walmart and they didn't have any replacements of course they had the TV but it was 100.00 more.

I have not taken in to have someone look at it for $25, I'm pretty sure that I will just dump it and save my $25! I will not be buying anymore Emerson TVs. So when I look for a used TV in the paper, do you know why there are no Emerson ones available? Because they don't even last long enough for anyone to be able to resell them! Just a broken heart, now I am back to my 13"

I too bought an Emerson television LC320EM82 S from Wal-mart March ,2008 . I have had it 19 months and it just stopped working. I turn it on and for a second you can read Digital Television and then it shuts off, just like the others I am reading. I have had it unplugged, tried it in several other outlets, nothing is working. I called the 800 num, and they pretty much told me I was out of luck, to call a repair shop.

I also looked up Emerson, model# LC320EM82, and am astonished at what I am reading. Everything that is happening with this model is what I am dealing with too.They were all purchased through Wal-mart also! I also think Emerson-Funai Corp, Walmart should be held accountable for using and selling tv's that need to be marked disposable, and selling them as if they should last for years. They definitely should recall their product, because this is not just a coincidence this happening to so many consumers. I will never purchase an Emerson product again.

of electronics. Shame of them and shame of Walmart for not standing behind this product once it was determined that it was defective!!!

Emerson TV LC320EM81 won't turn on

Emerson Television Model: LC320EM8A [Went] out after 19 Months. Bad Power Supply.

Emerson? Never again!

I bought a 32" TV LCD and it has had a problems with vertical lines forming and getting worse. It is the worst TV and has not lasted very long. No help from Emerson.

i turn off my emerson tv went down stairs came back upstairs later and turn on the tv. I could hear people talking but no piture just a blue sceen could not change channel just a blue screen.

Purchased the Emerson 32" flat screen on November 28,2008 and now there is no sound coming through on several channels. On other channels the picture and sound are not in sync.

same complaint as many other Emerson lc321em9 TV i bought at Wal-mart 03/14/09 work till i shut it of one evening 10/02/ 09 never turned back on. called Wal-mart they told me to call Emerson so i did and they said i would have to take it 60 miles to the closet repair shop and pay for labor. e-mailed Emerson still haven't herd back. junk! will never buy another.

I purchased an Emerson 32" HD TV at Walmart in January of 2008 and paid over 600.00 dollars. Last night I turned it off and this morning it would not come back on. I have read other reports on here of the exact same thing happening with other people who purchased this same television. This is definalty a manufacturing defect. I lost a 600.00 television that was purchased 18 months ago.

We bought a 32 inch Emerson digital tv from Wal-Mart costing around $600. We had the tv for about 15 months. We turned the tv off one night before going to bed, the next morning the tv would not come back on. After calling the Emerson tech support, the guy simply stated "sounds like a broken unit".

We took it to a repair shop and was told it would cost $400 to repair the $600 tv (not to mention the $30 deposit for the repair guy to even look at the unit) I am not happy about this.

My family & I are now out of a tv because we cannot afford to pay that much to repair the tv nor would we even if we had it. Who's to say that even if we had this defective product repaired that in a few months something else might break on it causing yet another problem. No thank you.

It seems unfair to me that this multi-million dollar company can take advantage of consumers this way. Obviously reading the other complaints, this product is definitely a defect on the company's part, not the innocent consumers! We shouldn't have to eat this cost.

I bought a Emerson 32 inch digital/analog LCD color TV (model LC320EM81)on December 30, 2007 from a local Wal-Mart store in Germantown, Maryland. On September 15, 2009, this TV set was shut down automatically and suddenly when it was being used to watch a TV program. After that, it was never turned on again as described online by most customers who bought this kind of TV set and experienced the same or similar problem. In terms of the fact that there have been many customers had the same probelm with this kind of TV set, its design and manufacture should be deadly defective. The damned company should be responsible for the loss of the customers, including their refunds and worst feelings due to such a horrible experience. The same product should be withdrawn from the market and the company should be sued for its worst product quality and postmarket service. The USA is well known for its strict legal system, why can this company still survive well without any penalty? All the affected customers should be united together, yell for help loudly, sue the damned company, and get our money back.

Starting roughly on the weekend of September 5th 2009, my television started turning itself off again. It would stay on from anywhere between about two minutes to an hour or so each time, but it would invariably and inevitably turn itself off. Concerned, I began to look for my receipt. However I couldnt find it, so figuring that I had no way of getting the matter resolved without one, I tabled the issue until I came across it a little over a week later on September 16th.

I went ahead and filed a warranty inquiry on Funais website, which went ignored for three days. I know that doesnt sound like much, but lets be realistic here. Given the number of folks on this site alone who Funai ignored in the hopes that theyd just go away, along with the couple whose success story has to be tempered with the very real possibility that theyd still be waiting for Funai to get back to them had they not used Twitter to their advantage, I had no faith in Funai to get a hold of me at all. In fact Im willing to bet that Id still be waiting had I not been proactive about the issue.

Tired of waiting and growing more anxious by the day, I went ahead and nicked the level-2 customer support e-mail address from the boycottfunai Twitter page, and contacted the customer service representative listed there by the name of Mr. G. He had resolved the issue for the couple who ran the boycottfunai initiative, so I figured that it wouldnt hurt to see if he could help me out too. He ignored my e-mail, but a lady by the name of Candace responded the next day with an e-mail asking for my phone number so that she could quickly resolve the issue for me. Unfortunately I work from 8am to 4pm every day, and cannot take calls while there. I dont get home until 5pm most days, which I would imagine would be too late for her to reach me, so I called the phone number Candace included in her e-mail on my lunch break in order to speak to her.

Upon getting through to customer service, I asked the gentleman who answered the phone if he would transfer me through to Candace. He refused. He said that she couldnt offer me anything that he wasnt likewise entitled to offer me, and so sending me through to her would be pointless. I insisted that I be allowed to speak to her, but he continued to insist on being given the opportunity to help me himself.

Being that I didnt have much time on my break for a pointless back and forth, I gave up trying to get through to Candace and asked him what they could do for me as Level 2 customer service that filing an inquiry on the Funai website couldnt accomplish for me. He launched right into explaining the terms of Funais warranty to me, and told me that the only avenues I had available to me would be to either send my television to them for repair, or to take it to a certified Emerson repair center, but that being that Ive had the TV for more than 90 days, Id have to pay for labor.

This was problematic for two reasons. The first being that it exposed something that may have affected my decision to buy the TV had I known about it earlier. If I had known that the 1-year warranty only actually covered parts and labor for 90 days, then just parts thereafter, I wouldnt have bought the damned thing in the first place. That sort of warranty speaks to a lack of faith in the product on the part of the company that manufactures it that it will perform over the long term. The second reason being that I had read more than a handful of stories here from folks who paid anywhere up to a third of the purchase-price for the TV in labor fees to get it fixed, only to have their TV exhibit similar symptoms anywhere from a week to a couple of months after repairs were completed.

I immediately e-mailed Candace back and asked that she call me at home at around 5pm if possible. I related my experience with the rep to her, and told her how disappointed I was about how the whole ordeal had been handled by Funai up to and including that point. I urged her to contact me only if she was prepared to offer me a full refund for the cost of the TV, and predictably enough, I havent heard back from anyone from Funai in the week since.

I e-mailed her today and made her aware of my intention to file a complaint with the FTC, as well as the Attorney General located in the state in which Funais US operations are located. I told her that I also intend to send my story to any consumer advocacy site on the web that will hear it, and that I will post my negative experiences on every social networking site available to me. If I can keep other people from being suckered in to buying a Funai TV set by its comparatively inexpensive prices, then maybe something of value will have come from this experience.

bought 32" emmerson hd flat screen. Bought it 9-2008 and today 9-15-2009 its got the blue line on the left side of the screen. I HAVE DECIDED TO NOT EVER BUY ANYTHING AT WALMART. Its anywhere you go and for 12 months of service all at once its going to go out. After reading other people with the same problem Im glad I didn't buy the warranty. this needs to stop. we were our 327.99 + tax. not fair at all. I will join in a class action suit just to get this kind of rip off stopped.

I purchased a Emerson 32" Digital/Analog TV, Lc320EM8A from Walmart on June 11, 2007. I don't watch the TV much so I didn't notice the problem for a while. Then I started noticing these lines at the top of the screen that started coming down the screen. Other people have also had that problem. The lines haven't gone away and have increased in number and length on the screen. I'm preparing for the time that the TV won't be viewable at all. Of course the warranty is up. The cost was a little over $500 which is a lot. My last tv which wasn't Emerson lasted about 15 years, so I expected the same here. Not so!! It appears that these TVs are all coming out of Walmart. I'd be willing to join a class action suit.

I purchased an Emerson LC302EM82S from walmart in 03/08 for my birthday as a self treat a HDTV now come to find today that it does not work and Funai Corp that company that builds this line of tvs also builds alot of walmart brand electronics like durabrand and theis emerson TV was only sold at walmart a TV is supposed to be designed to last. i contacted funai for them to tell me that they cannot do anything to help me because i am out of warranty and let alone didn't even offer me an out of warranty repair.

I have a Emerson LCD TV 32" that I bought from Walmart in January of 2008 and when I turn the TV on it automatically turns off, it will not stay on. I was reading some of the complaints here and it is obvious that Emerson sent out many defective TV's to Walmart or Walmart purchased them knowing that they were refurbished or defective in some sort of way. This is really a sad thing for the consumer and for Emerson because I am like the last person, I know I won't ever purchase another Emerson Product ever.

I bought an Emerson 19 inch Widescreen LCD HDTV from Wal-Mart back in March 2009 and now in August of 2009 its on the blink and I can't find the receipt but I still have the box with a shipping tag on it. I just called Wal-Mart and talked to a manager and he said to contact the manufacturer. so I got online and ran across this complaint site and see its not going to do me any good after spending hard earned money in these trying times. I'll never buy another Emerson product again if they don't do right by all of us!

I bought an Emerson TV from Walmart in March of 2008. On 8/21/2009 the tv started turning off by itself. Then it wouldn't turn on at all. I have my receipt from Walmart and did contact them; they told me to contact Emerson which I did. They told me the tv was out of warranty and couldn't be repaired by them. This is the same problem that alot of other people have had with the same tv set. They should be made to repair or refund the exact amount that was paid for these tv's (i paid over $500.00)

I bought an Emerson HD television from wal-mart 5 months ago with my tax refund. I also purchased the warrienty. About a month ago a blue vertical line appeared on the left side of the screen and a red line on the right side. Its on every channel station. The T.V. is on a stationary surface. I no longer have the reciete, could my purchase be reserched by the warrenty purchase?

i experienced same problem as many other people i purchased an emerson 32' flat panel hd tv and am having the problem where i turn it on and ot then shuts right back off you would think with all of the people experiancing the same exact problem they would do something to fix it

My Mom pruchased a Emerson 32" LCD TV same model # as most everyone on here has complained about in Nov 08 and used it about 10 hours (she is a snowbird) and came back north and watched it for 1 day and the picture change to look like an undeveloped negative. She did purchase the warranty ansd after jumping through their loops and taking it to a repair shop and paying the labor charge (never refunded) the TV was deemed unrepairable. They then sent her another TV (after waiting for a call back several days) only to receive a USED REFURBISHED one. Probably one of the other TV's from another consumer problem return. Now after receiving the 2nd USED REFURBISHED tv that one also has the same problem. Now we are waiting for another call back. She would like her money back. It doesn't matter if you purchase a warranty or not, it WILL COST YOU!!! If not in labor fees it will get you in the stress level. Highly aggravated!!!!

My daughter bought a 32 inch Emerson from Walmart in February or March with her tax refund. She was watching it one day when it just went black and now won't come back on. She of course cannot find her receipt to return it but I contacted Walmart and they said it would have to be returned to Emerson, which from reading other post won't do any good. She is a single mom making a small salary and cannot afford another TV until tax time next year until then she is back to using her small 19 inch. It is shame that Walmart and Emerson both will do nothing to fix this defective product. I warned her about buying and Emerson, maybe she will listen to me next time.

We bought our 32" Emerson TV from WalMart about 16 months ago. I've only wiped down the frame of it, not the screen, with a slightly damp soft cloth, hardly enough to get fingerprints off. The screen, only carefully dusting. 6 months ago I noticed a dark crease in screen, only visable while TV on. It developed another, and then another, starting at the top of screen. The middle one is about 1" wide and goes almost halfway down screen.There are three to the right of that and two to the left. The farthest at each side are shortest in lenth but widest in width. It is not moisture. It is not on outside of screen. They developed in a few weeks time. They seem to be permanant and I really believe it's an inner screen behind the outer one, that because of poor manufacturing or poor material, it slacked, causing the effects of ripple. This was my first brand new TV. Not the cheapest, but far from the most costly. It's miserable to watch through these dark marks, I have very little faith in any electronics these days, and the price of things, wow. Who's to blame for all the foreclosures? Gotta buy a new TV every two years? What happened to something lasting 10 years? .

I bought an Emerson television in December 08. In March of 09 I unpacked it and began using it. Within 2 months the video input failed. I could turn it off for a few minutes and that would fix the problem. But now it has stopped working completely.

Right around 1.3 years ago I purchased an Emerson LCD 32" TV Model LC320EM8A from WalMart. It suddenly went black and is like the problems I have found on this site. No pic/no sound and will not reset. It costs almost as much to MAYBE repair as it would to buy another inexpensive TV. I am disgusted to see that all these people have the same complaint and cannot get help. A prime example of how not to build a solid customer base. I won't buy Emerson again unless this can somehow be resolved. Also, though I'm a WalMart customer, it is curious to me that most (if not all) of these faulty TVs came from WalMart. Interesting.

I too bought the Emerson 32 inch hdtv. I am having the same problem as everyone else. I looked to turn my t.v. on and noticed to the red standby light was off...enough said. I look online and see too many other people having the same problem as me. Wasn't a good sign, needless to say. I am very disappointed!

I purchased a 32 inch emerson flat screen for my bedroom, and approximately 18 months later the TV does not work. When powered on it stays on for a 2 seconds and then shuts off. This TV does not get constant use so there is no reason why it would stop working unless this particular model has a defect. I was going to have it repaired, however after reading complaints it appears to be a defective product. Also no one has had luck after spending a lot of money to fix it. I would never purchase another emerson product again unless this problem can be resolved.

My Wife and I had purchased a Emerson 32" HD LCD TV from Wal-Mart in February 2008 and the TV has stopped working. I contacted Emerson Technical Support number which is located on the owner's manual. I asked for assistance to have the unit repaired, the responce I received was "there is no place or business that will repair the unit in your area". When I asked what recourse do I have I may as well been talking to the wall". I promise you that I will never NEVER! purchasae anything that has "Emerson" on it or associated with it! This is the worse customer support/ customer service I have ever seen!

I bought an Emerson 32inch LCD advertised at Wal-Mart for 1080P but really 1080i. The model number is LC32 1EM9. 1. The HDMI ports do not work at all. The screen displays a "Not Supported Format" when I hook anything through the HDMI port (Playstation 3, computer, Blue-ray Player.) I called customer support and they advised to hook up my Hi-Def equipment via the video composite cords. They also would not give me a list of supported equipment that can be hooked to the HDMI ports. DO NOT BUY EMERSON LCD TV's. False advertisment and terrible customer service.

It's not just the point of buying a converter box, coupons, etc., it's the fact that, it was suppose to come with what it stated and it misrepresented that. If you expect to pay for something you want, after doing what research your thinking is fair to your knowledge, they shouldn't misrepresent because they want to get rid of products at your expense.

I purchaced an Emerson HDTV (model # LC320EM8A)at Walmart about a year ago and one day all of a sudden, it would not turn on. I contacted Walmart and they said that there was nothing that they could do if there was no warranty. I've tried contacting Emerson support via e-mail and they do not respond. I've also tried calling Emerson and can't seem to get through to a person. It's frustrating! I've read (on your site) that there are many more consumers who have purchaced the same model of TV and that they are having the same problems that I am. Obviously there is something wrong with this brand and model of TV. Emersone should make it right.

I too purchased an Emerson TV from Wal-Mart I have had pretty much the same experience as all the rest the lines going thru the picture the first time this happened I was able to contact the company and with much hassel and about 3 months passing they finally fixed it and sent it back to me. Just today my daughter was watching tv and the same thing happened I have voice but no picture with the green lines running thru again the tv wasn't cheap but I am sure they aren't going to fix it again so since I don't have the money to fix it we will have no TV again. I will never purchase Emerson again.

Bought an Emerson HD on Black Friday 2008. On 6/19/2009 the TV shut off and wont come back on. It powes on for a second you can see the words digital at the bottom and the it shuts itself to stand-by (red light)and wont come back on. I called the customer care numer and then was given the warranty number and after holding for 38 minutes (should have been my first clue) I was told I only had a 90 day warranty for that typ of problem and would have to pay for it to be fixed and shipped out?! So I was suspiciouse and went on the WEb and found I am not alone.

Comcast issued DTA converter boxes and my Emerson LCD tv model LC320EM8 is not compatable with the remote for it as told to me by Comcast Service. Called Emerson at 1-800-256-2487 and they won't even answer due to overloaded phone lines. I sent a E-Mail and rceived this on 6/15/2009. Thank you for submitting a ticket to Funai Corporation Customer Service.

Still waiting for a answer.

I bought A 32in Emerson TV on 11/28/2008,from Walmart.On 6/15/2009 it stopped working.I cannot get .any help from Walmart or Emerson

I purchased a 32" HDTV Emerson Brand. the tv is now giving me picture trouble. a long green streak down the center of the screen. Emerson company wants to charge me just to answer the question of why this is happening. i only have the TV for 8 months and I paid over 650.00 dollars for it. i cannot afford to get this one fixed and why should i when its only 8 months old? and i cannot afford a new one nor should i have to. this needs to be addressed and i will happily join an class action suit should the need arise.

In February of 2008 I purchased a Emerson Television from Walmart. It is now June of 2009 the warranty has expired and the television will no longer come on. My friend bought the same television on the same day and sent hers off to Emerson in December and got hers back a week ago from Emerson, but it no longer works either. I think they should be recalled. Does no good to call because you just get a big run around everytime.

I bought the Emerson tv, soon after warrenty ran out the tv shut off and now wont turn back on. With all the people having the exact same problem there should be a recall on them. Emerson should fix the problem. Obviosly, if we are shoping at walmart we are looking for deals that we can afford. My children now have no tv. Some one needs to do something about this. Due to walmwrt not doing anything about a problem with the tv I will not be buying any from them.

We purchased an Emerson 32 inch flat screen LCD HD TV Model L32Em81. It won't turn on and all I get from the company is that it's out of it's 90 days/ 1 year warrenty. No one seems to care that the tv is only 16 months old. It's not like it was cheap, yet it's as if it were a dispoable camera no big deal to Funai corp.

have had just past the expriation of the warranty and the tv shuts off and wont come back on. Have reserched this model on the internet and alot of people r having the same problem and no one from Walmart or Emerson will take resposiblity for the defective products. We believe there needs to be and investigation into a product like this. we are out over 600$ and now we have no way to get a tv. it is wrong for products to be allowed to be sold to consumers with this sort of problems.

I bought a TV model LC320EM8 a while ago. It suddenly stopped working. I press the power button and the red standby light will turn green for 2 or 3 seconds and then it turns red again. I looked online and I see hundreds of other people with the same problem and I don't understand why I should still have to pay to fix it. I believe it needs to be recalled. It is obviously a faulty product.

I purchased this tv from Wal-mart about 15 months ago. The problems seems to be the same that everyone else is having with it going blank and not turning back on. I have had it fixed twice. I am out about $850 on this tv at this moment. I can't afford to take another hit. Something needs to be done such as a class action lawsuit! Please help others and I! Loss of tv and most importantly out $200 in repairs for now!

i purchased a TV from Wal-Mart on April 22 2008. The cost of item was 585.32. the TV is defective. when you turn it on it turns itself off within a 3 to 5 second time frame. The brand name is Emerson and nither Wal-Mart or Emerson wants to repair it or refund me the money or give an equal exchange. They are both blaming each other and in the mean time i am out a TV and 585.00 dollars. I traded in good faith and want nothing more than what i have lost.

I looked all over the internet and you wouldn't believe how many people have the same problem that have bought their Emerson, model# LC320EM82, within a 4 month period in 2008 from Wal-mart. Is this why they can be cheaper, because they purchase substandered products to sell to the public? I think Emerson-Funai Corp. should be held accountable for using and selling substandered merchandise. They should recall their product, and by them not doing so, just shows me they are not very proud of their product or name.

After further investigation, come to find out this model seems to have quite the reputation of being a piece of crap. Now I am stuck with a TV that cost over $500 that did not last even 2 years. Where is the justification in this? Emerson can sell a product and take hands over fists of money from people and not be held responsible for any defects that last past 90 days when obviously there is a huge problem with this model TV.

Feb 2008 i purchased an Emerson 32" LC320EM82 wich was manufactured Dec 2007. It came with a 1 yr warranty, Conviently after 1 year and 3 weeks my tv, Like hundreds of the same model, has burned up and will no longer power on! I am furious, I paid $700 for this tv and now they will not fix it. This model should be recalled!

Out $700 for a tv last should have been built to last i cannot afford to buy a tv every year. Now I have to buy a new one when i should have had a good 5 or so years with this one, but now i will spaend another $700 to replace it.

After calling Emerson, they agreed to pay for parts, then didn't, then did. I am supposed to take it to a local repair shop, but after reading everyone eles'e same problems. I may just wait for a recall. I will never buy another Emerson product again. Someone please get a class action lawsuit against Emerson.

i bougt an emerson 32lcd tv at walmart on january 20th 2008.on april 26th power would come on then shut right back off.i went to walmart they said it was out of the 90 day warrenty.(they were right,by 6 days).i called funai to have them fix it it was still in the 1 year warrenty.they finally picked up the tv in june WOW they were in a hurry.got back july 31st.one month to the day aug 31st took another crap (same problem).only this time they really hurried and picked up tv 2and1/2 months later nov 6. got back dec 16.guess what....took a crap march 27 2009(same problem) never again!!!

In February of 2008 I purchased a Emerson 32 LCD TV from Walmart Model #lc320em82. In July of that same year the TV stopped working. The power would come on for a second and then turn off again. I called Funai, the company that made the TV, and they referred me to a local repair shop. They would only pay for the parts under the warranty because I could not find the receipt for the purchase. I was of course not pleased with having to pay $150.00 to have the TV fixed as it was only 5 month old but agreed anyway. That seemed to do the trick and the TV worked again until this morning when sure enough the thing comes on and then turns of a second later.

I again called Funai only this time they informed me that they only warranty the TV 90 days after a repair is made. I understand that this is no longer under warranty but at what point is it my responsibility to pay for faulty equipment. There is obviously a defect with these TV's and I think that Funai should be held accountable. My last TV lasted for 17 years and this one can't seem to go more than a few months. For those looking to buy an Emerson LCD I say buyer beware.

I purchased the Television for $650.00 including tax and then paid an additional $150.00 to have it repaired. I am now looking at least that again to have it professionally repaired again if I want to salvage the TV.

We purchased the Emerson LC320EM82S television in March 2008 from WalMart. Within about 3 weeks the television stopped working. It shut off and would not power back on. Flickers on for about one second, then off again. Thinking it was a fluke, we returned it to WalMart and ordered another. The second one (same make and model) was fine until a couple of days ago (precisely one year after purchse). It, also, shut off on it's own and will not power back on. Flickers on for about a second and back off. Now our only choices are to drive almost an hour to a service dealer, pay for labor and likely some parts or to purchase another television.

about 8 months ago i bought a 32inch emerson digital tv lc320em82s and about a week ago it just stopped working. it turns on then 3 or 4 seconds later it just shuts off! o work very hard to ny nice things. i have a tv my dad bought 20 years ago that still works great. and after 8 months a 700 dollar tv breaks. and because i cant find my reciept im stuck with the 250 dollar repair fee. i advise everyone to steer clear of this item!

I purchased An Emerson HDMI 32 TV Model# LC320EM82 S from Walmart. Shorty after 1 yr my TV went out..The TV comes on for 2-5 seconds and shut right back off, I see others have had the same problem with TV that were manufactured 12/2007. Emerson should recall this product it's clear to see there is a defect.

On March 8th, 2008 I boughtI bought an Emerson LC320em82s at WalMart in Union New Jersey. I paid approximately 693.23 dollars for this TV and it quit working on Friday, March 20, 2009. I would turn the TV on and it displays the digital tv sign and then automatically shuts off. I have seen on the internet where so many other people have had the same problem. I think Emerson should be forced to recall this particular model.

I bought an Emerson LC320em82s at WalMart. I paid approximately 700.00 dollars for this TV and it quit working after only 6 months. We turn the TV on and it displays the digital tv sign and then automatically shuts off. I have seen on the internet where so many other people have had the same problem. I think Emerson should be forced to recall this particular model.

3 months after the 32 inch lcd emerson tv was bought the screen would go blank then the red light would come on and never go to green. finally it would come on but you would have to wait for the screen and volune to show up until a week later when it went totally out. we had to ship it back in a box and wait 3 months to get it back. when we got it back low and behold the same exact problem, we sent it in the 2nd time. just got it back and not 24 hours later the tv failed to operate correctly. the screen would stay blue and not want to come on. I am now having to ship it back for the 4th time and they tell me they will not ship me a new one.

every time I get it back it is never repaired as the same problem continues

I purchased a 32 Digital/analog LCD TV Model LC320Em82S from Wal-mart in Texas. had it less than a year and now it is malfunctioning. When I turn the television on it blinks for about 2 seconds and then return back to standby; in a nutshell it automatically shuts off after two seconds. However, since I had it for more than 90 days I must pay for labor fees, Although it is faulty by no fault of mine.

Today I decided to check and see if there had been others who might have experienced this same problem, I wish I would have check prior to purchase. Obviously there is a problem with this model and the date it was manufactured (12/07) and I think Emerson as a company should just bite the bullet and request for a recall on these TVs. Its the right and moral thing to do. As consumers we trust in a company to produce a product that is of respectable quality and when that quality fails, we expect for that same company to act appropriately. I know that the television was not that expensive, but I paid for it just the same. Sincerely, Very Disappointed

I have to pay for labor, which I think is unfair, since I did not drop the TV or cause damage to it. I feel that it is the company responsibility to compensate, repair, or replace products when it is their equipment, materials or technology that fails. For now I wait for the outcome of this problem.

First of all, there is no contact information for Emerson Television Customer Service. You see endless advertisements online, but no contact information for problems unless you pay for it online. There are technicians, but not everyone can afford to pay for their assistance online. Not only that, but frankly, it is disgusting for a company to happily take your money but then fly under the radar when you need them to resolve an issue.

The remote that came with it, quit working after 7 years. I have recently purchased, and used three universal remotes with it, and none of them work with this television. There are no manual override buttons on the front or rear of the television set either. So I am stuck with dvd rentals that I cannot view due to the television's poor design.

I have a Miracle Remote, designed to work with this year of Emerson that I have, however, it worked with the television temporarily, but is back to not working again. I also think it is totally absurd that I will have to purchase another television in order to resolve this issue. One that does respond to a universal remote, (if the original one dies) and one that also has a manual override button so that you can view a dvd when needed.

This set needs a Game button or Input button on the front where the dvd is plugged into.

There is no damage that resulted with this issue. However, I am losing money on rentals that I cannot view, and not everyone can just go run out and purchase another television, nor should they have to, due to the poor design. There are some companies who are out to not only make money, but they also care about their customers, and wish them to be happy. This makes excellent business sense, as well as causes word of mouth to result in repeat customers. I spoke to an gentleman tonight who is well versed on electronics as he works with them with his career in the military. Apparently, Emerson has had these flaws that I mentioned earlier, and nothing has changed over the years.

I will never make the mistake of purchasing an Emerson again.

I bought a Emerson LCD color TV LC320EM82 at Wal-mart on Dec. 11, 2007 and First part of Feb. 2009 it died on me, two months after the warranty. it will cost $350.00 to fix. 50% on its original purchased price. not worth it fixing. Trashed it. To all consumers out there, buy Emerson TV's at your owned risk. It is a low piece of junk TV that walmart should refrain from selling to consumers. I called FUNAI and try to buy the parts needed to fix but they don't deal with comsumers directly. They told me to bring it to a TV repair shop (and you know how much they gonna suck you). Just for diagnostic cost will be $75.00 plus the parts and labor cost, $350-450 is easy. I now refrained from any Emerson products. I bought myelf a 40" Bravia with home theater for $1,028.00 and now enjoying the crisp and clear pictures and a surround sounds.

I bought an Emerson 32 LCD from Wal-Mart. within day I had problems with it and had to exchange it for another one. we had some trouble because we had not kept the box, but eventually got another Emerson. within 1 1/2 years I had more problems, but luckily had bought the 2 year warranty. they sent me the box and shipping paperwork to send it in, and I found out that they no longer make parts to fix an Emerson LCD TV. I eventually got my money back, but I am warning everybody, do NOT buy an Emerson TV.

I did lose approximately $60.00 for the warranty. they only returned the purchase price and tax, so when I buy another one I'll have to come up with more warranty money.

I bought a Emerson 32 HDTC model # LC320EM82. I had the TV for 3 months and then it stopped working. When I try to turn it on it shuts itself off. I looked on line and I see hundreds of other people having the same problem with the same TV. Emerson wants to charge to fix these brand new TVs.

I don't think we as consumers should have to pay for a brand new TV to be fixed by a company who is obviously selling a faulty product.

I bought an Emerson LCD TV in March 2008. I haven't even finished paying for it yet & last night I go to turn it on & it attempts to turn on, the green light comes on for a second or two, then it powers down & the red stand by light comes on & that's all it does.

I've read many complaints about the same problem online & when I called Customer Service about it, all I was told was that it's out of the full warranty & that I can take it to an authorized repair facility & pay for labor only. I think it's totally unfair. If they did any research on the product, they'd know that they have a problem on their hands that the public shouldn't have to pay for.

I PAID OVER $500 FOR THIS TV. Never in my life did I ever pay so much money for a product that didn't even last ONE YEAR!

I baught a Emerson 32 inch tv Model #LC320EM82, IN March 2008 and I can't get it to turn on now. I tried everthing they told me to do that could fix my problem. It didn't work. They told me to take it one of their sevice partners to get it fix. They said it was still under warrenty but I would have to pay for labor. I don't think I should have to pay for the labor either. Thank you

I called Emerson and was told since the pruchase was over 90 days that i have to pay for the labor and they will pay for the parts. It is going to cost me $60.00 for them to fix my t.v. not to mention I have to wait 15 days for them to send me packing materials and 6 to 8 weeks to get it back! I have never had a t.v. problem before although I have never owned an Emerson. you would think with all the folks out there that have the same issue that this company might just do a product recall instead of charging it's customers to pay for a possible manufacturer defect. It has costed me $60.00 to get it fixed plus i am going to now have to buy a new t.v. since the Emerson was the only one I had and I'm looking at about 3 to 4 months without my t.v.
