Funai TV Reviews

I bought my 32 inch flat screen Funai TV on Black Friday for $100 at Walmart in 2013. It worked fine until December 2015. I powered on the TV, the logo flashed across the screen for 1 second, and then came to a black screen. It hasn't worked since. I've been holding on to it, but my chances of getting it fixed are slim to none, so I'm going to trash it. I was shocked to see that so many people had the exact same experience with this brand/product as I did! Has the company helped anyone?

Brought a Funai tv in 2014 on Black Friday from Walmart and just today it died. Red light blinks a couple times and logo comes up and tv goes off. Tried unplugging it and holding the power button for 10 seconds and then plugging it back in and press the power button on the tv and it does the same thing. Now my daughter doesn't have a tv in her room. I have one more like it and I'm wondering is that going to die as well? Seems like these televisions last only 2 years. I wish the company would do something for the customers who trusted their brand. Worst $100 I ever spent.

Purchased TV Black Friday 2013. Today June 5th 2016 won't turn on. Light is on but it won't turn on. Tried all suggestions and nothing. Would never purchase this brand again. TV's used to last forever. People only got rid of their black and whites for color even though the black and white still worked. It's a throwaway world now, nothing lasts anymore.

Funai TV - this company is a rip off. I purchased TV back in 2014. It lasted about two years but he will set off by yourself. It seems like every Funai product does exact same thing. Somebody needs to be looking into this company. I called customer service. They told me I had to go an hour and a half out of my way to Portsmouth. Just going there and coming back will probably cost me a new TV.

This was also bought on Black Friday (like all the other people) a couple of 2 years ago. I think the TV has a timer in it like a time bomb - just shut down while watching it and won't turn back on (virus timer to shut down). Called Funai customer service, they told me to take it to a service center (1/2 hour away), told them why would I do that if there is no warranty? Throw away TV. I know NEVER TO BUY ANY OF THEIR PRODUCTS (Magnavox, Emerson, Sanyo). For some odd reason, a lot of people got burned Black Friday at Walmart on this TV - all stop working with the same problem. This is definitely a bad brand to stay away from. This is really unbelievably and may warrant a class action suit. This TV was their replacement for Emerson that was in their ad.

I am dumbfounded as I read countless reviews for the same tv and same year it was manufactured. My tv was bought at the pawn shop. I paid $90 for it, however it worked perfectly for the 3 months that I owned it. But when I attempted to turn it on just now it wouldnt turn on... Just blink for a second or two and then seemingly just goes off. This is definitely a bad brand to stay away from. This is really unbelievably and may warrant a class action suit. Sad!

I purchased this TV Black Friday 2013 from Walmart in Huntsville, Alabama. TV blacked out and only had sound. Now tv doesn't chime in or make sound. My 6 year old note doesn't have a TV to watch. This is a bad company.

Purchased this TV as a gift for my mother black Friday 2 years ago, just stopped working about a week back. Thought it might be a random defect but guess not. Pretty terrible a company would have something like this going on.

I had a talk with this so call company, after I submitted a report to them asking them why a LCD tv goes out just as the warranty goes out and all I get was simple step such as turn the tv off, change the channels etc. like I haven't tried that once it happened. So I sent them this. I tried all those steps and a few notes to make on your end. One I work on computers building them etc so the steps you gave are a bit childish. As for the warranty I just said it just expired which shows me you don't read or take the customer seriously, but the thought of a LCD having problems within 2 years of owning it shows poor quality as well. I should have known when I read the customer report on your product. Here are some of your fans you have made.

Bought at Walmart Black Friday 2013 as have all others. It stopped working today and will go out with the trash. 2 years - not too bad for $100 at that time, would have probably paid it anyway to get 2 years plus out of it.

This was also bought on Black Friday (like all the other people) a couple of years ago. I think the TV has a timer virus. (I did not realize that I was leasing the TV when I bought it.) One of those sue happy lawyers needs to file a class action on this one. I doubt that Walmart had a hand in the design of this unit. But what does tick me off about Walmart warranties is, they make you pay for shipping back to company. When they have such a monster fleet, they need to accept THEIR extended warranted items at THEIR STORES.

Purchased this TV at Walmart as a Black Friday special. That was a $100 mistake. The TV will not power on and is only 2 years old. Same issue everyone is having. This TV is in our spare room so it wasn't used all the time. It was advertised as an Emerson in the ad. Walmart used the bait and switch on everyone. Funai, Emerson, Sanyo, Magnavox, and Kodac are all the same company so it appears the Funai is the low end division. I think between Walmart and Funai they should replace this TV that people still have working or not. It's only a matter of time until everyone experiences this issue. I will never buy a TV from Walmart or any of the brands associated with Funai. This is the 2nd TV from Walmart that has turned into a dud of a product. Live and learn.

Won't turn on anymore, just stop working, bad tv brand.

Funai flashing red light. I purchased this TV 2013 with a 2 year warranty. Mine went out today. This is just a cheap TV - 99.00, black Friday deal. Highly disappointed. Walmart knew this was a cheaply made TV and needs to do something about this and all their products they sell.

I purchased this TV from Walmart Black Friday 2014. I raved about how good the TV worked but out of nowhere it stopped working today. As so many other complaints the light in the front comes on. I can see the logo on the complete black screen then I assume it turns itself off. The screen never lights up to see for sure. I tried to unplug and replug but after all the complaints I think it is a crap TV. The TV seems to last only 1-2 years.

Purchased Funai tv December 2013. Tried to turn on today. Red light flashed. Logo comes on for a second and then tv turns off. From what I am reading this TV was made only to work for two years. What a rip off!

We bought the same tv at Walmart on Black Friday in 2013. We were glad to finally be able to afford a flat screen tv and larger than 19 0r 21 inches. Yesterday it just quit working. The same thing happened as others have stated. We turned on the tv, the red light flashed, Funai flashed on then tv shut itself off. We did buy the 2 year warranty which expired 11/28/15. Obviously this is a worthless tv if so many others have the same tv with the same timeline with the same problem. When will we as consumers be protected from scamming retailers and companies?

I purchased the 32 inch Funai, Model LF320FX4F, flat screen television the week after Black Friday in 2014. It was kept in a cool, clear & clean atmosphere. The television was manufactured in September 2013. Needless to say, while watching the beginning of a movie, the TV went off & did not come back on. I unplugged it, plugged it up again, but it never came back on. I did not buy an extended warranty, but looking over the reviews, that would have been worthless, just like the TV. It did not even have the life of a light bulb. My brother got his the same day & after calling him, discovered his went out the week before. Apparently Walmart & the company know the product is a piece of crap. Live & learn I guess. I am totally disgusted and disappointed.

I purchased this television on Thanksgiving day 2013 at Walmart during their black Friday sale. There was only 2 left when I got there and the older gentleman manning the TV's told me it was manufactured by Emerson. Trusting Emerson, I bought it for my bedroom. This TV was literally only watched maybe 1 hour over the last 2 years but we mounted it in our new home in the bedroom suite. Within the first day the sound will go out after about 10 minutes until the channel is changed, then changed back.

I purchased a 32" Funai TV on Black Friday 2013 from the Charlottesville, VA Walmart. The TV worked fine until Christmas Eve 2015. Out of the blue, it simply would not turn on, red light flashes, a quick sound is heard, screen remains black, and the TV shuts off immediately. I have tried all logical measures to reset the TV to no avail. Given the numerous complaints that appear to be the same as this one, by now, there must be some policy in place that honors customer satisfaction. I am looking forward to this ever growing company to be wise enough to make good on this product to improve your credibility. Right now, I have zero confidence in this company and this product. A recall, replacement, and proper recycling of this product is in order.

Purchased a 32" Funai flat screen tv at Wal-Mart's 2013 Black Friday sale. Worked fine until last week. Now when you turn the tv on, the red light in front flashes, you get about a second and a half of sound, no picture and then the tv shuts itself off. Like all the other complaints that have been posted here, I tried unplugging the unit, etc, to no avail. Two years old and now totally nonfunctional. Given the large number of identical issues all happening recently, there must be a major defect in this television and the manufacturer should issue a recall.

I bought this television, didn't buy the warranty. Big mistake, TV stopped working - red light on and TV turns on, shows name brand then turns off. The company said, "Take it to the repair shop, 75.00 just to look at it." With all of the people complaining about the same issue you would think this qualifies as a Lemon Law and we should have the set fixed or replaced.

I too have been having an issue from this Black Friday TV from Funai. I have personally contacted the company in North America and Japan. They just say "ah so sorry for the inconvenience but you can pay to have this problem fixed." This is not an acceptable answer to me. This product needs a major recall and/or a class action lawsuit needs to be filed against this company. Maybe we Americans need to just boycott all sales from foreign countries and only buy American made products. When I did finally talk to someone with some sense they can only say "I'm sorry." That is a cop out. This company knows what the major issues are with this junk product and they do not want to stand by their product.

I bought Funai on black friday at the Walmart in Lauderdale Lake. My tv was working fine, went out and came back home, tried to turn my tv on. Its flash and turns right off. This company is a thief. They claims no one has ever complaint about this issue. They need to do a recall because their product is faulty.

I bought a 32in. Funai T.V. from Wal-mart on Black Friday. Now I know why they call it Black Friday because they sold a bunch of junk called Funai.

I also bought a Funai 32" TV at Walmart on Black Friday 2013. A couple months ago it would not turn on. I tried unplugging it & plugged it back in but it still wouldn't come on. I left it plugged in and a few days later I noticed the red light in front came back on. I turned it on with the remote & it worked just fine. I shut it off & the red light went out & it wouldn't turn back on again. I left it alone & in about a week the light came back on again & it turned on again. It's been doing that for a couple months now. It's in my bedroom so I don't use it very much but now I use it even less because it will only turn on once a week.

I was in need of a new TV and I decided to buy one at the Black Friday sale at Walmart. In June my TV just blanked out & never came back on. So now again I'm shopping around for another TV. I'm very disappointed and can't believe that this TV only last 7 months. Bad company, bad brand.

TV will not turn on. I have not contacted the company after reading the reviews. It does not seem it would matter. Every review had the same problem. It does not look like there is any recall on these TVs. Not one review showed any resolution to the problem.

I purchased a 32 in Funai television on Thanksgiving 2013 and as of today it has stopped working. Terrible thing is I have 3 more that are probably gonna go out soon as well. SmH. Pissed!

My wife bought this TV on Black Friday 2013. I have an Emerson 32 that's 2 years older than this now disposed of 32 TV. It flashes logo, turns off. Searched for an hour or two for a fix, but only find hundreds of other complaints. I will never purchase another Funai product.

Also same to me. Turned off at night, woke up, went to turn on and just a flash of the logo then turns itself off. Purchased on black friday Walmart in 2013. You think with the exact issue as hundreds, possibly thousands of other people, Funai would do a recall? No. They have done nothing. I'm out 100 bucks in past. TV's have lasted 20 years. Now you don't get 2. I will never buy a Funai product again. I will only be fooled once.

I too, bought the same tv 2013 for black friday from Walmart. Now my tv is not coming on and makes a high pitch noise. So pissed after seeing all these reviews, you would think they would fix the problem. I will never again buy electronics from Walmart or this brand.

I bought the 32 inch Funai flat screen for my daughter during Walmart's black friday event in 2013. As of last night it will not stay on. The screen flashes the Funai logo and then shuts off. After reading numerous reviews I can see that a LOT of other consumers have the same problem at pretty much the same time frame. I will never buy a cheap Funai product again. Next time I will spend the extra money to be ensured a quality product. Looks like I will be television shopping for my daughter this weekend.

I, like most everyone else, purchased this Funai 32 inch TV during the black Friday sale at Walmart in 2013. This POS started going out on me 3 months ago. After messing with it over and over we would get it back on. Then I would have to turn it off for days and fight to get it back on. ** Funai. You’re not so funny, or maybe you are. Both you and Walmart took all of our money and probably laughed yourselves to the bank. You can bet your sweet ** I will never buy another product from this company. Went and bought me a Vizio last night. Should have bought one then, as this is a product you can count on.

I don't see why something hasn't been done about this the same thing. Same length of time on these TV to every one of us. This P.O.S been sitting in corner for 2 years.

32in piece of crap. I too purchased Black Friday 2013 and am now without a tv. Logo flashes briefly on screen then nothing. I called support - was told to unplug and replug it in. That was all the support available. Oh she did offer repair shop number after telling me there nothing more for them to do since TV is out of warranty. Funai = CRAP.

Bought 3 TVs on Black Friday from Walmart. 1 year later 2 of them screens went black & no sound - stays on for 1 second, goes back off. Can't get a refund. Walmart only do 90 days. When you had those big TVs they would last for 10 or so years, but 1 1/2 is unacceptable. Now I have to pay for repairs or purchase 2 more TVs.

Like many others, I bought a Funai 32" TV in 2013 on a Black Friday deal in Walmart and costed me $99. And like most, the TV stop working after a year and a half. I recommend everyone not buy this brand especially since Walmart is going to put it up for Black Friday. Never again will I buy a Funai product. It's a scam. I guess cheap really does cost more.

Just like the others, I bought a Funai tv at Wal-Mart in 2013. Today when you cut it on the red light blinks. Funai pops up and immediately disappears, and the tv never comes on. Totally a waste of money. Never will buy any Funai products or recommended them.

I bought this tv for my 8yr old daughter's bedroom, for Christmas. It was a Black Friday special like so many of you. I've been on her about keeping her set off when not using it so it's only ran at night for a few hours. It's now a black screen with buzzing noise. She got up to go to the restroom and a drink, came back and it was out. Nothing works on it. Biggest pile of trash ever. Now I have to spend more on a tv because this one lasted a year and a half with minimal usage.
