Emerson TVs Reviews

Bought an Emerson TV on Black Friday. The remote power on/off button quit working. Now the #2 button has stopped working. Called Emerson and were told to get receipt from 2011!! Doubt that they will be any help, but how many people keep their receipts for 2 years??? This is the second Emerson TV we have purchased. The first one came on or shut off whenever it wanted to, with the volume blaring. When we tried to shut if off, we had to unplug it.

This TV has been my BLACK FRIDAY LAST STRAW!!!!!!!!! I thought wrongly that this could be a good deal. Today for the first time I tried to plug in multiple HDMI devices and lo and behold the warranty is out and the "Extra jacks" don't work. Emerson, you have made me decide not to go Black Friday shopping again.

I bought this TV at Walmart Black Friday 2012, purchased a warranty and it has not worked for the past 2 months. Trying to get a response for a repair. It makes Walmart look bad because they are not backing what they sell, and Emerson because they have terrible products.

We bought an Emerson 32" from Walmart on Black Friday 2010. We didn't have any problems with it until the beginning of this year when we began having trouble turning it on. It would light up as if it was turning on but then just turn back off. It has progressively gotten worse and now it won't turn on at all. My husband looked into maybe getting it fixed but the cost was more than what we paid for it & like everyone else no luck with Emerson. We will NEVER again buy an Emerson TV.

I got the Emerson 32" LCD TV on Black Friday 2011. Today it stopped working; the power simply will not turn on. It looks like I'm having the same problem so many others here have had. I know the TV isn't under warranty, so I'm on my own to either find a repair person or replace the television altogether; I can afford neither right now.

I bought an Emerson 40" LCD from Walmart on Black Friday... Thought I was buying a great deal. After almost 2 years, the picture went completely out. We have sound but no picture and it is out of warranty... I think Emerson produced a large quantity of low quality TVs that were no GOOD!

I also bought an Emerson from Walmart. My Emerson would not turn on so I tried to find a TV repair place. I had to call Emerson and they told me to drive 50 miles away. There was no place in my city. I drove 50 miles away. My Emerson was still under warranty. After 2 weeks I call the repair company and they was told I was out of warranty. He told them he received the TV while in warranty but they would not send the part. This has been going on now for several weeks. I called the company. I don't know what is wrong with those people? I even have on my e-mail where they are asking me to buy another warranty, that mine would expire on a certain date and I took the TV to be repaired before that date was up.

My wife and I noticed an Emerson 42" LCD TV on Black Friday at Walmart, only 1 left (lucky us)... so we bought it, got it home, and I hooked it up that same night. Guess what? BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH! I returned it and Walmart gave me another one... Fast forward to a year and a few months later and now it's just out of warranty and the IR SENSOR IS BAD! Remote will not work at all. In my opinion, a TV without remote capabilities is bound for Craigslist curb alert. I'm not gonna waste my time with Emerson... I hope they go out of business.

Emerson TV/DVD unit = LD190EM1 totally quit working. Same issue as most of the other postings. Very little use, less than 50 hours over 2 1/2 years, used for DVD playing only in guest bedroom. Placed DVD into unit, started the play, after 5 minutes, got a flash of light from rear of this TV and then no power... dead unit!! Now we have a great paperweight!! Sent email to Emerson. No real person response. Won't purchase another Emerson product.

I just turned on my Emerson TV, also purchased from Wal-Mart during a Black Friday Sale a few years back. I am a single woman and turn on the TV about once a week. Anyways, it ran for about 15 seconds and then, with no warning or previous problems, the TV died. I thought the electricity must have gone out, but that was not the case. I googled to try and get an idea of what could have gone wrong. It seems to be the same problem that most others are experiencing. Does anyone have an idea as to how much it would cost to repair this problem?

Complain, Complain, Complain, DEMAND A FULL REFUND. My TV was eight months old. After they replaced it under warranty (do not pay the extortion fee) it went out again this time only after 45 days. I DEMANDED A FULL REFUND AND GOT IT. I went to Best Buy online and bought another brand with an extended warranty 4 years for an extra $45. I hope this work out better. BEFORE YOU BUY ANOTHER TV READ COMPLAINTS NOT THE REVIEWS. THEY ARE FROM PEOPLE WHO JUST OPENED THE BOX. BEWARE OF ALL FUNAI BRANDS - EMERSON SYLVANIA, MAGNAVOX, ETC. This Funai Corp has bought Great USA brand names and had the products built in China by farm labors using shovels and rakes and hammers. They do not have Quality Control. They say High Quality at Affordable Prices, there is nothing affordable about a TV that will not last its warranty. STAY AWAY.

The problem with these TVs is that 2 electrolytic capacitors in the power supply go out. The power supply is located just under the back cover of the TV. The capacitors that are bad will be bulging at the top not flat like the others. Easy to UN-solder and replace, but must observe the polarity and replace the same way they come out. In my TV the capacitors were 1000uP 25 volt high temp, I replaced them with 1000up 35 volt high temp, so maybe they won’t go out again.

TV has been used very little and it was working fine and then the next time went to use and no power, won't turn on.

I bought a Emerson tv, used it only about 12 times and along with everyone else, it won’t turn on and Emerson won’t do anything about it

I bought this 32 inch L C D T V on 2010 Black Friday. Now yesterday it is Dead, No power, no on/Off.

Having the same issue as almost everyone else. I bought this tv on Black Friday 2011... Now for the past week it's been turning off randomly by itself. I called the company, no assistance from them since it's 2 yrs old. I guess I will be purchasing a new (obviously not Emerson) tv. Like I even have the money to do that... I may just not buy another tv altogether. I can't believe it's this crappy after only 2 yrs. I don't even watch that much tv - it was probably only on maybe a max of 2 hrs a day. Ridiculous.....

I bought this TV on Black Friday at Walmart in Nov. 2011. It really hasn't been used that much but up until 2 weeks ago it has worked fine. Now it does not turn on. No light even comes on. Of course Emerson was glad to give us the number of a TV repair person in our region. Other than that, they were useless. I am going to let everyone I know to spread the word that their product is garbage. Now I don't know what to do. Pay to get it fixed or buy a new one. What a coincidence that we all have the same problem. The TV was junk when we bought it.

On Black Friday of 2012 our daughter talked us into going to Walmart and purchasing both of us two Emerson 32" flat screen TVs. Last week, the grand kids were playing a game on it and it just quit. They said it didn't buzz, pop, flicker or anything... it just went out. Now we have no power, nothing... dead in the water. (My daughter has just gotten hers out of the box and started using it, so hers is still working but for how long.) 7 months is what we got out of this TV and it probably wasn't turned on 12 times during that time. There are thousands of complaints on the internet for the very same power issue! A class action suit would be in order here.

Like so many others, I purchased the 32" flat panel TV at Walmart during Black Friday. The TV was used on and off maybe a total of 12 times. I called Emerson and got the runaround that it was out of warranty. Then I find out that the power supply board died in less than a year. Walmart and Emerson were totally useless. Emerson should be held accountable and do a recall.

My 32" Emerson was purchased on Black Friday of 2012. Not even a year later, the base cracks from the weight of the TV causing it to fall and shatter. When I called the manufacturer, they stated the $15 warranty I purchased doesn't cover physical damage so my question is, what does the warranty cover? Their mistakes? Hands down the worst brand I've come across and I recommend nobody waste their time and money on Emerson products.

We bought a 32 in Emerson TV from Walmart less than two years ago. Yesterday, we took our son on his birthday and bought him a video game. He was so excited and told us he couldn't wait to get home to play his game. When we got home he ran straight to his room to play his game. He came to me and said "Mom, something's wrong with my TV." I tried everything to get that TV to work...not a chance. Needless to say he was sooooo disappointed. This was a horrible thing to have happen to him on his birthday. I called Emerson customer service. The rep did some basic troubleshooting stuff just to tell me well its no longer under warranty, there's nothing they can do.

Bought 50-inch Emerson TV from Walmart 3 weeks ago and started flickering in and out two weeks after buying. Trying to get Walmart to exchange/replace with no luck yet.

I bought this Emerson 39" TV on 8/22/2012. After eight months it went bad. They told me I would have to pay $150 under the warranty to get it fixed. I made a fuss and they agreed to fix it. Got it back and two months later, bad again. I replaced an old TV that was 20 years old that still worked for this CRAP. Funai is CRAP regardless what brand they put on it - Emerson, Magnavox or whatever. This company is screwing the USA with their CRAP.

Well, we too, purchased the 32 inch TV from Walmart on 1/27/2013. This TV is used only in our spare room for our 6-year old son to watch a few movies and play a few games. Hardly used at all. Yesterday it took a dump. It will not turn on and makes a humming noise when plugged in. I have not contacted Emerson yet and am wondering after reading these reviews if it is even worth it. We too, will never buy this brand of TV again and am thinking of not purchasing from Walmart either.

Like so many others, I purchased the 32" flat panel TV at Walmart, and the power supply board died in less than a year. Walmart and Emerson were totally useless. I ordered and installed a power supply board and the TV works again. I agree with the others regarding class action. Emerson's pathetic quality control and not accepting responsibility are disgusting.

I purchased an Emerson TV from Walmart on 8/4/2012. All of a sudden, it goes black and no power! Walmart said they can't take it back after 30 days. Emerson 800 number said they would look at it for $70. They apparently don't care about their customers. I will never buy their product again and if I see someone looking at their product in the stores, I will tell them it's JUNK!!! Very unhappy customer.

Not Happy with the Purchase of 32 in TV; it quit working out of the blue after a few months. Not even a year old and the TV quit working!!! Just 10 days out of warranty and Emerson will not cover... We have other TVs in the house and they seem to last forever... This one is junk, so sad... I get bummed every time I look at it and it doesn't work.

Purchased on Black Friday 2012 from Walmart. It was given as a Christmas gift to my son. It died yesterday out of the blue. TV will not power on and makes a loud humming sound. Walmart is no help. The TV is out of their return period. Emerson customer service (if you can call it that) is completely useless. I'm not willing to spend my money for them to repair their shotty design. Everyone has the same issues. Obviously, these TVs should be recalled due to the power supply problems. I will never purchase an Emerson product again and will attempt to avoid Walmart altogether. When you buy a "No-Name" TV for 130 and stack a $120 repair on top of it, you could have afforded a "REAL" TV that would last longer than 6 months in the first place. My sharp 32" LCD is OVER 10 YEARS OLD and still going strong! Emerson is a despicable company and should be sued for the way they treat their customers and the crap they produce.

19" Emerson DV/Television Combo - I bought this unit in Feb. when it was on sale for my Granddaughter for our camper up north which we didn't open until the beginning of May 2013. Upon opening it & using it for the very first time, it began to skip throughout the DVDs & then would just shut itself off. We attempted to take it back to Walmart but they refused to take it back stating it was beyond the 90 days!!!!! I think that is bs. They should stand behind what they sell. I don't care if it was beyond the 90 days & let me add, it was only by less than a week. WAY TO GO, WALMART!!! They told me I had to contact you to get my money back as I don't know why as they were the ones who received it. I have read all the bad reviews &, believe me, if I had read them before, I would have NEVER bought it to begin with. You need to either fix the issues that are going on with all your televisions or stand behind your product!!! I will NEVER purchase ANYTHING that is Emerson again!! I expect a full refund or I will be contacting the Better Business Bureau immediately!

I bought a 32-inch junk; it won't let me hook anything up to it that has an HD connection to it, my PS3, DirecTV or anything. They say, "Oh well, you bought it." Now it's my problem. I went from a 65-inch Toshiba that I buy a lamp every few months. I tried to save money any way I can so I got rid of it by buying a 32-inch LCD TV. As soon as I hooked it up, there was an HDMI problem. Now I am stuck with an HDTV using red, white and yellow wires. It's not fair to me. I am 25 years old. I am on SSI for a reason. I tried, by going green, I thought it was a good idea but now I don't trust Walmart or EMERSON TV. They won't even give me my money back or trade me for a different one. Anybody got any ideas on how to fix it or what to do? I will look on this site for an answer every day. Thank you. They think because I am slow, I won't know the difference between HDMI and RED, WHITE AND YELLOW PICTURE. Trust me; I do know what it looks like. It SUCKS.

We have had this TV for two days, just bought it from Walmart. What the HELL. There are over 400 reviews on this company. Someone should be able to do something. We bought it on 06-12-2013. I wish that I would have checked this out before I purchased this waste of money. After reading the reviews, what is the use of calling anyone? Neither Emerson nor Walmart give a **.

I recently sent a review about me having to send a TV back to this company and receive another one. Well, the replacement came last Thursday. The TV didn’t have one screw holding it together, and it looked like someone took the front of the screen and dragged it on the side walk. I called within 5 minutes of receiving the TV. I was told I would get a refund, but I had to send photos of the TV. I would hear from someone within 24 hours. Twenty-four hours came and went, so I called on Monday. I was told someone should contact me Tuesday or Wednesday. Okay, it’s Wednesday and I have talked to 6 people this morning and two supervisors, and I am getting the run around. I don’t know how someone can send out a TV that’s not put together for one.

I purchased a 32" Emerson TV from a personal ad and they did not inform me that one channel will only randomly have any volume. Is there a way to fix this problem so that the TV channel will have volume? All the other channels come in clear with no volume issues.

You think with so many complaints we can get a class action suit against Walmart and Emerson? I also bought the 32-inch HDTV on Black Friday at Walmart and it was literally used only four times; and after that nothing worked - nada. I also paid extra for a warranty and Walmart doesn't honor it until the manufacturer’s warranty expires in a year. This is ** if we have to pay to send to Emerson to fix it. The worst part about it is that I witnessed hundreds of people from Mexico and farm workers in AZ take advantage of this so-called Black Friday deals at Walmart, and their hard earned money has gone down the drain. There is something very wrong when corporate America can take advantage of people like this. Now, what can we expect from a company that doesn't even enforce basic safety standards it their garment factories overseas?

I purchased a 32-inch Flat Screen TV on Black Friday last year. The TV worked for six months. Now when I turn it on, the TV shuts down after about 15 seconds, and won't turn back on. I contacted Emerson, and of course they told me there's nothing they can do since it's not under warranty. However, they did offer to repair it at a cost. This TV was a complete waste of money. Emerson should seriously consider doing a recall on these TVs. To anyone who might be considering purchasing an Emerson TV, don't waste your money.

I received an Emerson 40" flat panel TV for Christmas, purchased at Wal-Mart Black Friday sale. It has never had a good picture and made a lot of popping noises. Only 6 months old, now the picture has a blue film over the whole screen which will not go away. You can still see the picture through the film but it's very difficult to watch and mostly blue and yellow. I called Emerson and they offered to fix it if I sent them $110 for labor and shipped the TV to them. It seems like a TV should last more than 6 months and this company should be ashamed of themselves. I am now forced to throw away an almost new TV as the picture is impossible to watch and their warranty program is a joke. I'm sure the TV didn't even cost $200 at the Black Friday sale, so why would I spend $110 to repair it and go through the hassle of having to pack and ship it to them? - Very poor customer service. Do not buy an Emerson TV. You will regret it!!!

After reading all the complaints, I thought this info would be handy. I can only speak about the 32" unit. Do not expect any help from Emerson; you're wasting your time. The problem is the power board inside. It's an easy fix, and a board is available on eBay. I paid $59.00 and put it in myself. TV turned right on. Here are instructions: take bake off 8 screws; there are two boards inside the tan. One is a power board; take the number off and order one on eBay. It comes from California. Put the new board in EASY 6 screws and couple of plugs. Put back on and ENJOY... Note: the green board is audio. Hope this helps you instead of being out a TV. Have a nice day...

I bought an Emerson TV (LC391EM3 TV) from Wal-Mart on August 30th, 2012 and neither will warranty it after 90 days. Emerson will cover parts but labor is $110 to repair or replace this TV, plus shipping charges. Even if repaired or replaced, the 1-year warranty is only good on the original purchase... until August 30, 2013. Is it worth repairing or is it best to throw in the dumpster and never buy another Emerson? I've never experienced such a piece of junk like this before. The TV would shut down the volume to 0 and after adjusting with the remote, it would go right back down. I wish companies could be held liable for selling crap so customers don't keep getting ripped off.

Emerson LCD TV model # LC320EM1F - I got the TV at Wal-mart on Black Friday 2010, and I used the TV maybe 3 or 4 times a month. Just out of nowhere, it just stopped turning on. It makes me so angry that they haven't recalled these TV's. Does the government allow this company to still sell these junky devices in America?

It was fine up until a month ago. Then the picture went fuzzy and hasn't recovered. I tried it with a different cable outlet - still fuzzy. The TV was new in November of last year. You would think that the TV would last more than 6 months!

I bought the 40" TV on Black Friday 2012. Every now and then the TV would dim and brighten on its own up until 3 weeks ago. I went to unplug and plug the TV back up. I heard a noise. When the TV came back on, there was no sound and the picture had a purple overtone. No sound, but purple! Terrible TV. Walmart won't take it back for exchange or store credit, past 90 days. Emerson is asking for an additional $100 to fix. I don't want anything Emerson. I just want my money back now!

I bought a flat screen Emerson TV and after about four months, the sound would kick off?! I would have to turn the TV on and off several times to get the sound to come back on. Yesterday, the sound went out and I have not been able to get it to come back on at all! After reading some of these reviews, I can see it would be a fruitless effort to contact Wal-Mart or Emerson to try and resolve the issue as it seems neither of the companies cares about their customer's satisfaction and only their bottom line. I will definitely never buy an Emerson product again!

I had this product for 10 months and it continually blows fuses. Parts are covered under warranty, but I did not know I was supposed to have a specific repair man look at it. Well I had a local repair man look at it, so now the warranty is void. I think that is wrong; for one, a 10-month old TV should not have any problems. I feel like I have been sold a faulty product. I am totally dissatisfied and would not recommend Emerson to anyone.

I bought a TV for my daughter for college and it has not been six months before a line appeared on the screen for no reason. I went to return it or exchange it at Walmart. I was told that it's been more than 15 days. I have to call or email Emerson. I called and was told that I have to send the TV back to the company for a refurbished one. Say what?! I didn't buy one from the start so why wouldn't my replacement be new like I purchased. Then I was told I would have to wait for shipping labels and send the TV back through UPS and wait for my refurbished one in 2 to 4 weeks. That's a whole month process. Unsatisfactory! The policy at Walmart sucks and Emerson company policy does also. Buyer beware! Don't purchase Emerson anything from Walmart.

I had the TV about 2 weeks when the picture color and contrast cut itself in half. I was told that there was a software update that would fix this, so I spent another 25 dollars to buy a flash drive. This did nothing; this TV is the biggest piece of garbage I've ever bought. I was told I would have to pay to ship it and have it fixed.

I bought the TV from Wal-Mart on Black Friday. It went out today and now won't do anything except scroll through menus, change modes and channels, and turn on and off, all this with no input from me! I called their customer service department and was informed that if I ship it to them (my cost) and send them $150 for labor, they would pay for the parts to repair it. I'm sorry, but that comes out to about what I paid for it in the first place. You get what you pay for. Never again, Emerson (and believe me, I'll look up your subsidiaries), never again.

I bought this TV from Walmart in late January 2013 for around $200. It worked fine up until the beginning of April. It started randomly turning off by itself. It would eventually turn back on after a few hours. I contacted Emerson about it and they said since it is past the 90-day limited warranty, then they could repair it for $70, but I would have to send them the TV and it would take anywhere from 2-4 weeks to get it back. I opted out since I had already read all the negative reviews regarding the TV and further repairs. Thanks, but no thanks Emerson. I learned an expensive lesson this time - you get what you pay for and nothing more.

I purchased this TV from Walmart in 2008 - when they were still more than $600. Less than 6 months after I bought it, it died. The TV turned off, but would not power back on. I contacted the manufacturer and I was sent to a local repair shop. The repair was covered by the warranty. A few months later it happened again. Since the labor warranty expired after 6 months, I had to pay for them to fix it, but not for the parts. Shortly after this happened, for the 3rd time, it happened again. This time I sent the TV back to the manufacturer, free of charge, and they sent it back after being repaired again. Now 4 years later, it has been working fine until then but just died again the other day. And of course, after going through everything that I have for this TV, I am just crap out of luck and stuck with buying a new one. Do not ever buy an Emerson TV unless you want to throw it away!

TV is about 2 years old and it is having the same problem 1000 other customers are having. A few days ago, my TV started to turn off by itself. I would have to press the power button about 4 times before the TV would come back on. Now today it wouldn't turn on for half the day. I called Emerson and they said that there have been no recalls on these series of TV. The best that they can do since I am past the 1 year warranty is have me go to a shop 20 miles from me for a repair. They might cover the parts and I would have to cover the labor, but we all know the labor is going to be a ridiculous amount of money while the part would be 50 bucks. How can a TV that was purchased brand new only last 2 years? No abuse on the TV whatsoever - off every night, not on all day during the week and never moved from when set up. Come on, something needs to be done!

I bought 2 Emerson 22" flat screen TVs and will never ever buy another! In less than 1 year, they both quit working. This is ridiculous. No one wants to make good on this purchase. I am letting everyone know not to buy an Emerson, and Walmart should not even carry them. I hope they go under!

I purchased an Emerson 32" TV from Walmart on Black Friday, 2012. It has played fine until last night, April 25, 2013. It turned off by itself and will not turn on. I called the toll free service number; however, they were of no assistance. I was informed the unit carries only a 90-day parts and labor warranty. I understand Walmart has purchased the right to manufacture Emerson TVs. The Walmart store refers me to the toll-free number for assistance. Needless to say, I will not purchase another Emerson TV nor will I purchase any electronic product from Walmart.

I have bought two Emerson LCD TVs from Wal-Mart and just yesterday, the second one stopped working, just like the first one did. Red light is on, but the TV will not turn on. To top it off, the HDMI was hooked up from the TV to the PS3. So whatever went wrong with the TV, it went into the HDMI cord and now the PlayStation will not play on HDMI. I even switched out the HDMI cords and nothing. I have done several things to see if it would work and still nothing. I called Emerson today and they said since my TV was a refurbished one bought from Wal-Mart (which I didn't know they sell refurbished TVs), then there is nothing they can do but charge me $110 to fix it.

I purchased the TV prior to moving due to the cost of the TV. Plus, it was such a great surprise to my kids that we would have a new TV. To make sure that the TV was going to be safe during the travel, I did not unpack it out of its original packing and put it in the back seat of my vehicle secured for travel. Once arrived and unpacked, I found that the TV would stay on for about an hour then automatically turn off. I thought it was the sleep timer that kicked in. I checked. It was not, so I changed cables and outlets and it continued. The most time the TV stayed on was for two hours without shutting down.

We purchased 17 Emerson 22" televisions last April to use in cabins that we rent. After a few months, we had 3 of them go bad. They would not power up. We tried everything - switched power cords, check the outlets, plugged the TV into a different outlet, etc. The first three televisions Walmart exchanged for us, but then we were told they would not allow us to exchange another one. What!? Well by September, two more televisions had the same problem. We had to purchase new televisions, and they weren't even 6 months old! We were closed from November 1 to April 1. The second weekend we were open; we had another television do the same thing. Both Walmart and Emerson will not do anything about this problem! After reading all of these reviews, I can't believe that Emerson is still in business. I will never buy another item with their name on it again. If I could give them a zero star rating, I would.

One of the two Emersons (LC320em2f) I bought on Black Friday 2011 turned off and will not turn back on. Based upon what I am reading here, I should probably throw this into the e-waste pile at work. I did send email to Walmart and Emerson, but I'm not expecting them to do anything. It's a good thing this was a $149 TV and not a $449 TV.

I purchased the Emerson TV model # LC260EM2A, S/N DS54A1219164376 in August 2012. On Easter Sunday 2013, it just stopped working! It went off and I cannot get it to come back on. Because I don't have the box and it’s been more than 90 days, Walmart will not take it back or exchange it for another one. Attempts to reach Walmart through emails or Emerson have done me no good. They refuse to stand behind this product. So sorry I didn't research or look up the reviews before I bought this piece of junk! There are enough complaints that seem like something could be done.

You cannot put this 39" LCD TV in an entertainment cabinet because the sound comes from underneath the TV aimed toward the rear of the set. There is no out source on this TV for recording of any kind. You can play into the set with a VCR of such, but no out source. The picture was good, but I had to purchase a powered amp to add to the sound so I could hear it from my entertainment cabinet. If you want a real and full functional TV, don't buy this one. You get what you pay for here. Just a cheap TV.

My 19-year old son bought the family a 39” LCD TV as a Christmas gift that also came with a 3-year warranty. It cost him almost $400. Well, here it is, a little over 90 days and the darn thing is shot. I’m so upset with Wal-mart, who once again suckered us into buying a warranty, and for what? Nothing they can do for us. I called two different numbers and was told that it’s my fault that the TV made a popping sound and then fell over. The screen has a small scratch but it now does not get a picture. When it popped, it was my fault that I didn't bolt it to my $300 TV stand. Wow! I’m not running a hotel here. This is not my first go around with Wal-mart and their so-called warranties. But come on Emerson, how can you put the blame on a homeowner for not bolting the TV down?

Add me to the list of unsatisfied Emerson TV purchasers. Like others, I should have read the reviews before buying an Emerson flat screen at Walmart; and I bought (2) two of the darn things! These sets were put in guest rooms at our Florida condo each having approximately 10 hours (probably less) usage. You guessed it - they are both dead in the water, just blank, no power, kaplunk. And now I read the consumer reviews on these pieces of junk. I'm totally upset and don't understand why Emerson is getting away with this. Thanks for letting me "vent."

I purchased my TV on Black Friday 2011. It's now April of 2013 and my TV will not come on. It's out of warranty. They are doing nothing! Help!

I bought this flat screen TV in November 2011 (it was made in September 2011). A thin line has appeared 1/4 up the display, just enough to be a distracting annoyance. The set is now beyond warranty and Emerson will now do nothing on my behalf. They won't even give any advice. They do not care that they sell a product with the lifespan of a mouse. My old analog TV lasted for more than a decade before the screen failed. My Acer flat screen monitor has performed faithfully for half a decade. One and one-half years after manufacture, the Emerson product failed. I recommend no one ever purchase any Emerson product.

Black Friday 2011, I purchase an Emerson TV 32" Model LC320EM2F. I did not start to use the product till June 2012. It was hardly watched and last week, we were watching the news and the power went off and will not come back on. I called Emerson and they refused to replace or repair it because it was out of warranty. I refuse to buy any of their products again, and I advise anyone considering buying an Emerson product not to.

Please do not buy any of those TVs. I bought a 32” LCD TV at Walmart and in less than 4 months, the TV turned off by itself. I had to wait, like two months, in order to get the TV fixed, and I was told they would send me a refurbished one; everything looked fine at that moment (they have poor customer service). So it has been less than a week with the refurbished TV they sent me and it has the same issue - it is completely black and it won’t turn on. I called them and the customer service representative on the phone told me the same process, that I have to wait to get another refurbished TV, which implies that I have to wait another four more weeks in order to get another TV.

I purchased the 40-inch LCD television from WalMart at the Black Friday Sale 2011. I purchased two more the following year, which I now regret. After owning the first television for 15 months, it stopped working. It no longer powers on and the replacement part is $79.00. I will never purchase an Emerson product again.

I had an Emerson 32" HDTV given to me last year. I think it is about a year old in March of 2013. It has got to where it was hard to turn on the last few days and finally just won’t turn on. I also won a small Emerson and it has done the same thing. I went back to Walmart this morning, Feb. 25, 2013, and they told me the store only carries a 30 day on them, and I would have to contact Emerson. She had no number at all that I could call. She said Emerson rather I e-mail them but this is the best I can do.

The screen is showing mountain like shapes in the background. This was noticed around a yr. and a half. I bought it in the first part of March of 2011. When I called tech. support, I was told I had a one yr. warranty and that there was nothing that they could or would do. I do not think that a T.V. at that time and cost should display such problems around a year and a half. The standard one yr. warranty is too short, and is to imply that I should have purchased an extended warranty. I do not think that I should pay extra for something that should not break down that soon. I guess I should buy a new T.V. every 2 yrs. Thank you Emerson.

I bought a 32-inch Emerson LC320EM2F on Friday after Thanksgiving 2011 and put it in a spare bedroom. It has been turned on less than five times and will not come on. I do have the receipt but Wal-Mart says they only have a 90-day return. I told them that was the last $1 I would spend there. I called Emerson and they said there was only a 1-year warranty and I would have to take it to the repair shop. I told them Emerson used to be a good brand as I loved Emerson when I was a kid and I can't believe they are now selling junk! I told the guy it's the last Emerson I'll ever buy! I pissed him off and hung up on him. He actually had the nerve to call me back and not say anything. I told him I would turn his ** in to the FCC!

I bought my 40" Emerson TV in Nov. 2011 on Black Friday at Walmart. Lately, it has been taking several tries to turn it on and the picture on the screen when it does come on is delayed and I have to go through a long process to fix it. Today, I went to turn it on for my son to watch his cartoons this morning and it decided to not turn on. I checked power cords and everything. It just doesn't work. It's the worst $250 I have ever spent. Do not buy from Emerson! I will try my hand at calling CSR but from some of the other reviews, I doubt that is going to get me far.

A 39-inch TV was purchased at Walmart. It lasted only 7 months, then there was no power to the TV. Emerson wants $110 to fix the problem. It will take 2-4 weeks. Very poor customer service and poor quality of TV.

We spent $200 and about 3 hours waiting for our 32-inch Emerson TV at Walmart on Black Friday 2012. Well, I might as well have paid $200 for a paperweight because by January 15, the TV no longer works. It comes on, but nothing shows on the screen. I do not have the receipt and it has been a battle to get a hold of anyone at Emerson. We wish there was something we could do about this.

I received a 32in Emerson TV for Christmas of 2011. While watching a movie last night with a friend of mine, the TV turned off and will not turn back on. I have tried everything to get it to work and nothing has. The CSR at Emerson was not helpful. It is a piece of junk and I will never buy another one of their products!

I purchased a 32" LED Emerson TV in June 2012 from Walmart. The TV had very little use. It was in our bedroom and was used maybe one hour a week. On November 7th, election night, it went black and is dead! So $250 for 5 months of use! No satisfaction with Walmart and it cost $70 to repair. I decided not to give Emerson any more of my money. After reading all the reviews about these TVs, Emerson needs to take responsibility for obvious defective products. I plan to contact consumer product satisfaction agencies, i.e. Better Business Bureau, and take action! We all need to take action!

I bought a 22" Emerson TV from Walmart in August 2012. The TV is in a bedroom and not used very much. I powered the TV on in January 2013 and heard a pop. TV went black and is now dead. I can't believe that Emerson manufactures TVs that only last for 6 months. Buyer beware!

In trying to find out information about why our Emerson 32" began taking a dozen or more times to power on, I stumbled on this board and see that it is not just our TV and it's clearly a manufacturer defect. We purchased this TV on Black Friday 2010 and stood in line all night to get it. My mother also has one and is starting to have some trouble powering hers on. I called Emerson and they said, "Do you have the receipt" and I told them I didn't as it was two years old and did not know where the receipt was if we had it. I was just assuming they would have some troubleshooting help.

I also bought a 32" LCD TV from Walmart, Black Friday 2011. One year after purchasing it, the TV stopped working. Is there some kind of class action lawsuit for this defective product? Now I also have a very large paperweight!

I purchased this 22" LCD Color TV on 6/11/2012 and I barely used it. One day, I went to use it and the TV never turned on. I checked all the connections, the plugs, the outlet - still nothing. I also connected it in another outlet - still nothing. I do not believe this TV just up and quit on me. I tried taking it back to Walmart and they said I needed to contact Emerson - no luck in doing this.

They have poor customer service, lack knowledge, lack concern, lack care. One person was actually reading from a page that I googled myself. Really? I didn't call for internet research help. Stay away! Save your money! I promise you no one from this company can answer any legit question you ask. The only response you will get is to send it in so they can determine the problem or order another. That was from many calls, different questions, same answer. They are rude, hang up if they get stumped. It's just poor! There should be a negative star rating. This company doesn't deserve a 1 star.

I bought this TV from Walmart on 2/27/12. I thought it was a great deal for $240. Today, 1/12/13, we went to put the TV on and it was dead. We were just watching it about 30 minutes prior. This was a TV in our bedroom but we barely used it. For the 10 and a half months we had it, we probably watched less than 10 hours of TV on it. We tried all different plugs - and nothing. It's completely dead. Walmart won't make good on it because the warranty just expired. I'm going to call Emerson to see what they have to say.

I bought a 22-inch Emerson TV last week. When I change channels, the volume goes up or down. While watching a show, say it goes to five commercials, it gets extremely low, then the next one gets extremely high. I called Emerson Support and they said it was the way the signal was coming into my TV. I explained that I have three other TVs that work perfectly. I explained to him that if you google the problem, it states that the problem lies with an IC chip that is supposed to control the volume. He still stated that the problem was the signal and not the TV. I'll never buy an Emerson TV again.

Wow, I wish I had read these articles months ago! I also bought my Emerson 40-inch LCD on Black Friday 2011 at my local Walmart. It stayed in the box until the last week of August 2012, when we finally started using it. The second week of December, it just decided it wouldn't turn on ever again. That put me almost 3 weeks over on my year warranty, of course! So I'm basically screwed. I will go back to the off brands because I personally seem to have better luck with them! In 2009 on Black Friday, we bought another top brand TV that was a piece of crap as well. No more Black Friday Walmart deals for me!

This TV is less than six months old. It's rarely been used, maybe a dozen hours total. It's deader than a door nail. Last Emerson for me. From now on, I'm buying only TVs that begin with the letter S.

I purchased a 32" LCD HD Emerson TV set from Walmart on Black Friday 2012. I waited in line for almost 3 hours only to find out when we plugged the TV in, it didn't work. I talked to customer service and arranged to get a new TV sent. After 3 weeks, I got my new TV only to see that there was a giant hole in it from where it had been handled improperly. I called customer service again and they told me I have to wait an additional 3 weeks for a third TV. They would not give me quicker shipping, priority, or anything! This was supposed to be a Christmas gift and if this third TV is okay, it won't be until Jan. 14ish that it will be received. They wouldn't let me get my money back and wouldn't do anything for me to make this easier or quicker. My advice: don’t buy Emerson. I never will again.

I received a 32-inch flatscreen Emerson TV for Christmas in 2011. The product was made in Sept of 2011, Model #: LC320EM2, Serial #: DS6A1139128201 (A17FTHUH). The TV was not even used until March of 2012 because I wasn't able to get cable where I was living. On Dec. 26th 2012, the product shut itself off and is no longer working. I have changed plugs to make sure it was not just the plug and the TV would not even turn on. I have just gotten off the phone with Emerson, and they are not willing to make good on this. At first I was told it would be $110.00 for a diagnostic test. I said in no uncertain terms was I paying $110.00 on top of the price of the TV (and in Canada Walmart charges $25.00/electronic device for an environmental fee).

I purchased an Emerson 32" LCD TV from Walmart 6 months ago. This TV is in my bedroom and gets very little use. This morning, my kids were watching Saturday morning cartoons and the TV just shut itself off. The TV will no longer power on and doesn't have a standby light. Walmart won't take it back because it is outside of 90 days. I called Emerson directly and they also only have a 90-day parts and labor policy. They said they could have it repaired for $70.00. I will never purchase their products again. A $300 TV should last longer than 6 months. Ridiculous!

I purchased an Emerson TV. The box remained unopened for 9 months due to an illness in the family. When opened, the power cord was missing. Customer service told me I would have to pay for a cord, which seemed okay to due to the time lapse, but the cord's arrival was late. I spent about an hour on the phone with various customer service persons and never did I receive the same answer twice. I had been placed on several holds, the first for 9 minutes while trying to track the order. I was disconnected twice while trying to speak with a supervisor to get some answers. I was told it had been shipped and was due to arrive in my mailbox today; she had the tracking number in front of her. Then, I received a call back saying the order never went out due to an address error.

I purchased this in March 2012. My previous Emerson TV lasted about 2 years. I thought the grandkids broke the TV, so I went to get a replacement. I saw this model and it was on sale. I thought, "What a great deal." Wrong. It stopped working yesterday; it doesn't turn on at all. I called Emerson, and they said they would repair or replace it with a refurbished one for $70.00, 2-4 weeks wait time. If that one quits working, they would send me another refurbished one. I expected this to last a lot longer than 9 months. It's a piece of garbage. I will never buy another Emerson product.

32" Emerson - Same as others, I purchased two of these in Black Friday 2011. One of them has been fine. The other has less than 15 hours on it (in spare room that never gets used) was turned on and immediately turned itself off. It will not come on. No lights at all on it like it's a dead fish floating.

November 26, 2012, my husband purchased this TV (26" Emerson) for my birthday. The first night, it worked great - that was the only good night. First, the TV lost color and I watched in black and white. Second, when setting the sleep to turn off in 60, 90, or 120 minutes, it turned off immediately and then would turn itself back on 5-10 minutes later. I returned back to Wal-Mart 12/9/12 and purchased a different brand. The first Emerson TV we owned lasted approx. 3 years, but developed a blue line through the screen. We should have learned the first time. Wal-Mart did not give us any problems returning the TV.

Like everyone else, I bought my 32" Emerson TV at Wal-Mart's Black Friday sale in 2011. After turning off my TV the other night, it won't turn back on. Do not buy this brand. What TV lasts only one year? I have a VIII O bought when flat screens first came out, and I never had a problem with it.

I purchased the 32-inch Emerson LCD TV on Black Friday 2011 at Wal-Mart. At the time, I didn't realize I was purchasing a "throw" away TV. But just today, a few days past the one year mark, the television shut off and now when I try to turn it back on, there is no picture or audio. I never owned a television before that only lasted 1 year. Emerson should be very ashamed of what they are selling to consumers. No more Emerson products for me. I guess Emerson factors that in and realizes they won't get return business from any of their consumers.

I got my 26" Emerson TV this recent Black Friday. I have had this TV for a week and it just stopped working. When my dad and I took it apart, we saw that a fuse was blown. But after we changed the fuse, it blew as soon as I plugged it up. After this happening three times, we started doing some research on Emerson TVs and found that this is happening very frequently that I would not recommend this brand to anyone. They're making money off of crap that shouldn't be sold!

I received this television as a gift. They bought this item on Black Friday 2011. It will not come on. I called customer service and was told I was one week out of warranty and would have to pay $110 today to extend my warranty. Really? A TV should certainly work longer than a year. Christmas is this month and I do not have $110 to extend my warranty. I have looked at reviews on this product on several websites. Everyone is having this same issue. How is it legal for any store (namely Walmart) to sell this defective product? Customer service for Emerson is awful! Everyone I have spoken to could care less that I am having a problem. And Walmart was absolutely no help.

40"LCD HDTV from Walmart on Black Friday 2012 - We bought the exact same TV for my father last year and he's had no problems and it sounds great. We bought one for us this year and the picture is incredibly dark. My husband tried to fix it, changing the setting which helped a bit, but not totally. The sound is awful. It sounds like they put in a speaker from a child's radio rather than normal speakers.

I purchased an Emerson 32" LCD from Walmart on Black Friday 2012! I got it home, plugged the TV in and no power - the red light just blinks. I called Emerson only to be told that I was looking at around a month before they can get this one taken care of. In my opinion, this is downright crappy service for the simple fact that this is supposed to be a new TV and the second I plug in, it doesn't work. Now they want me to wait a week to receive a box to ship back and once they receive my TV, they will then repair it then send back. That is all together a month of no TV. When I talked to customer service, all they can say is that's policy! So Emerson, if you read this, I want you to know this is a horrible way to keep and earn customers. This has detoured me from buying any more Emerson products and I will tell everyone I know and post on all reviews my experience with this. It has been crappy and I would not recommend this to anyone.

Same as everyone else about the Emerson TV (Model LC320EM2F) and Walmart selling this product last Black Friday (November 2011). No surprise that Walmart stands behind this product. Walmart is only in it for the buck, not the quality. My family no longer shops at Walmart for a variety of reasons: the way they treat their employees and they don't care about their consumers in so many ways. This TV is just one of them. They are the problem with the economy. Look at how so many people wasted their hard earned money thinking they were getting a deal and trusted Walmart, including myself. I was going to call Emerson, but I am just going to send a letter to the BBB and copy Emerson.

Same as other reviews. I bought two of these Emerson 32" TVs as Christmas gifts in 2010 for my daughters. One just stopped working the other day. Standby light comes on and TV never comes on. I called Emerson support, waited 30 minutes on hold only to be told I have no warranty and the nearest service center is 60 miles away. No one is very helpful. They're pretty much disposable TVs. I'm waiting for the other to fail now. Beware Christmas shoppers!

I bought this TV at Walmart and it broke, like a month later.

I purchased my TV on Black Friday 2011. This morning, the TV randomly turned on and none of the buttons will work! Even the remote won't work! It's stuck paused on some sort of demo video of a smiling man standing at the end of a white hallway. The speakers are messed up too. It sounds like another channel is bleeding over because I can hear faint voices coming from the speakers. Also, I think there's something wrong with the video settings because the picture of the man keeps getting bigger. And the most annoying part, I unplugged it and it won't turn off! Why does a TV even have a battery? How long will it take to die? What junk.

Last Black Friday, I bought the 32 inch Emerson TV and back in June, it stopped turning on. When I called the company, they gave me the runaround about needing a receipt but I had the model and serial number. They refused to help me when they knew all of these TVs were tearing up. I will never buy anything Emerson again.

I purchased this 32-inch TV model LC320EM2F from Walmart on Black Friday, 11/25/2011. It was a bedroom TV with very low hours of use. It shut off while in use on 11/17/2012. I called Emerson, 866-309-8819. This is a special number set up for my model type (1 of 6), 800-256-2487 is for all other Emerson products. The representative stated I could pay $70 for labor and a box would be sent to return the TV. The TV would be repaired or replaced with a refurbished TV. I will never buy another Emerson product. I am considering boycotting Walmart. This is another example of China companies ripping off their customers, with no retribution. Please help the consumer. We do not have money to throw away.

My TV is having the exact same issue - no power up. I purchased it on Black Friday 2010, waited in line all night. I wasted my money. What can we do? Is there anything at all that can be done about this?

Recently, the TV (Emerson 32" LCD) came on at 3:00am. I turned it off and it came back on at 3:15am and I turned it off and unplugged it. Now, it won't work at all. Before this, the remote died about a year after I bought it at, Wal-Mart, where else? Emerson wanted 25% of what I paid for the TV for a new remote. This was in the bedroom like many other reviews here and is used a few hours per month. Emerson should be barred from selling any more TVs in the U.S.

I bought an Emerson 32in flat screen TV in Nov. 2011 at Wal-Mart. It's a good TV for a year. As of Nov. 2012, it's a piece of trash now, same as the other reviewers. Never again!

I purchased a 40" Emerson LED/LCD TV from Walmart on Black Friday 2011. It's not a year old and it won't power on. Company says they will have someone come to look at it, but it will cost $110. What a joke. You don't call that a warranty!

I bought an Emerson 32" TV in Walmart (Bedford, NH) last thanksgiving 2011. My wife and my daughter were watching TV last Tuesday (Nov. 13, 2012), when all of the sudden, the TV power turned off and since then it didn't return. We called Walmart but they told us to call Emerson. We contacted Emerson but they said we have to pay $70 for the labor. And we have to send it to them for the repair. It was so disappointing that their TV lasts only for a few months, not even one year. This is made in China. Do the USA quality controllers review the product like this? Why do they allow this defective product in the USA market? I won't pay additional $70 box for a defective TV. Now, my problem is how to dispose of this TV. I will never buy Emerson product anymore.

I got a dud 32" Emerson TV: My wife and I bought both our sons a 32-inch Emerson TV from Wal-Mart on Black Friday and gave them as Christmas gifts to our kids last Christmas of 2011. My youngest son is 7 and always watches TV with his big brother, so he rarely ever uses his TV. Well, one day, he decided he wanted to watch some TV in his room. And guess what? It wouldn't turn on. I haven't tried anything yet but I am very discouraged after reading these comments. Something should really be done about this. Spread the word everybody. Don't support this company because this is completely unacceptable. Wow, Emerson. Highly disappointed.

I bought this 32" LCD Emerson TV on Black Friday 2011 from Walmart. The TV was used in the guest room so it did not get much use. On Friday 11/9/12, the TV would not turn on. It’s the same issue as everyone else - no power. I called Emerson and they wanted me to pay $70 to pay for labor. This is a big issue. Can the BBB do anything?

My 40 inch flat screen is making weird flashes of color that is really disruptive when trying to watch TV. So, I called to let Emerson know and get it fixed since it is still under warranty (I bought it on Black Friday 2011). The service rep tells me it will cost $110 and they will send me a box to ship it to them and they will fix it and send it back in 2-4 weeks. What a joke. I will never buy anything from this company again. Tell all your family, friends and associates that it is a bad product with a company that does not stand behind their product. Hoping to file a review with the BBB.

I bought one of these 32" Emerson TVs the day after Thanksgiving in 2010. I went to use it and it won't power up. There are no lights on it at all. I called Emerson and they won't do anything because it's over the year warranty. I can tell you right now, I will never buy another Emerson TV.

LCD Emerson TV (model LC195EM9-2, serial J32850590, manufactured in August) - All of a sudden, no picture but with voice. Can you replace it?

I purchased a 32 inch Emerson flat screen TV (LC320EM1F) from Walmart last year (November 2011) during Black Friday. Today my daughter attempted to turn on her TV and to our surprise, the TV would not turn on. Both the standy-by and power on buttons were "on" but no picture came on the TV. I immediately contacted Emerson who basically said there wasn’t anything they could do about my problem especially since I did not purchase a warranty from Walmart. I asked if anyone else called to complain about this product and the rep made it seem as though they have only received a handful of complaints. After reading these reviews, it’s clear that having a warranty would not have solved my problem. While attempting to get an address to write a complaint letter, the Emerson rep named Devin rudely hung up on me. I called back and was able to speak with the supervisor named John who was able to give me the email address. It is so sad to know that Emerson manufactured such a defective product and it is even worse that Walmart stood by this product by selling this product to consumers.

I purchased an LCD TV the end of November 2011, and it did not even work for a full year. I called and warranty told me because I opened the back of the TV, it was voided. Really? The TV had a fuse and that is all I checked, and now I can't pay the $70 to get warranty to fix my daughter's TV. What a joke! I am so disappointed that I purchased 2 TVs and it did not even last a year! I would not recommend this brand to anybody.

Emerson 32-inch HDTV was purchased on Black Friday at Wal-Mart last year. October 24, 2012, it would not turn on. I checked the power supply and the remote control. It still doesn't work, and after reading all of these complaints, it looks like I also got a dud. Bad company.

I bought a 22" Emerson LCD TV at Walmart in July 2011, and it just went off. I called Walmart, and they said it was not their problem and to call Emerson. I did, and they said the warranty ran out and it was not their problem. After reading all the complaints, I guess I am happy it lasted this long. I will never purchase another Emerson product and will tell every one I know to review the complaints before purchasing a Emerson product again. It's so sad to think that people spend their hard-earned money especially with this economy and the TV last a year or less and no one can do anything about it. Emerson should be ashamed to even make such a product, and Walmart and any other store should not even sell Emerson.

Strange but my TV is just coming up on a year and it died. It simply won't turn on. I called up Emerson. They told me to send it in for repair or bring it in to a certified repair place. Shipping it or paying the $110 is just not acceptable. Bad product, bad warranty and a waste of 2 hours of my life waiting for this thing, on black Friday last year.

I bought an Emerson LCD 32" TV Model LC320EM2 from Walmart on 12/04/2011. We use the TV in our bedroom and it has rarely been used (probably under 20 hours of use). My husband decided to go watch TV in our bedroom Monday night for a few minutes (it was our 18th wedding anniversary). He turned the TV on and watched it for just a few minutes and it cut right off and it would not come back on. We tried unplugging and replugging. It did not work. So now we are stuck with a new TV that will not work & out of $255. To send it off and for them to look at it, they want $70 more but after reading these other reviews, my mind is made up. I will not give Emerson another penny nor ever buy any more of their products. They should cover the TV fully.

I also purchased my TV at Black Friday at Walmart 2011 and shocking! Today, Sept. 29th, it will not turn on! I bought it as a Christmas gift for my son and am extremely disappointed. Emerson sucks!

On Black Friday (2011), my wife and I purchased a 32" Emerson TV (model LC320EMF) on special from Wal-Mart for our guest room. After waiting for three hours, we finally got one after midnight. We installed it in the guest room, and it was played perhaps less than a half dozen times. While cleaning the room for a guest, my wife put on the TV, and after approximately 20 minutes, it died. After many hours on the phone, at different times, I was told I originally purchased the TV in August. I had to e-mail them the receipt to verify the November purchase. I spoke to three different people - the last one promising I would receive a return box and shipping instructions with a charge for repairs. This was two to three weeks ago, but I have received nothing. This should have been a recall with free replacement. Emerson received a bunch of faulty TVs from China and should make it good. Emerson will never be on the top of my list.

My son started college last September 2011. In November 2011, he bought a 32-inch Emerson TV with his own hard-earned money. This TV has not been used for more than 3 months as he was living with my brother and his TV was the main TV used for watching. Josh then moved back home in January and the TV sat in the same spot in a climate control area until he went back the beginning of August. He went to turn the TV on and it would not turn on, no power whatsoever. He went to Walmart and they told him that there was nothing they could do. Bologna! They scanned the serial numbers and know when an item is sold. He didn't buy it on Black Friday either, so he spent like $400 on it. This is ridiculous that no one can do anything about this situation, especially when a product like this has only been used for 3 months or less. I don't think so. I think the Better Business Bureau would have a heyday with this one for as many complaints as I am seeing on this review. I surely hope that they are not selling this TV anymore and if they are, I highly recommend consumers to not buy it!

40-inch flat screen quit in 48 days - I have the same problem, and Emerson and Walmart were of little to no help. I am fortunate to know someone that does TV repairs and he was able to assess the problem for me - for my TV (ModelLC407EM1), the problem was a ceramic fuse in the back that blew. I purchased a bunch of them at $2.73 each. I think the $110 charge would be for the labor to get to the fuse and put the back on the TV again. Yeah, it's a pain but it was the only recourse I have since Emerson refuses to honorably honor their warranty.

Add another to the list. I bought a 32-inch Emerson on sale at Wal-Mart in Nov. 2011. It died Sept. 2012. I can't find the receipt. So I'm pretty much stuck with it. I always thought it was weird that it took a really long time for it to come on when you pushed the power button. I think Emerson should have a recall on this model, because it obviously has the same issue with powering up.

I bought this Emerson LC401EMZF TV on Black Friday at Walmart for my spare room for me to watch when my husband was watching something I didn’t like. I watched it on 9/7/2012 and it worked fine. I turned it back on 9/10/2012 - nothing. It would not turn on at all. It still has the yellow sticker on the bottom. I have not used it more than 50 hours. I took it back to Walmart with the receipt and they said they were sorry, but it was over 90 days old and all I had to do was call the warranty people and they would take care of it. Right after calling I was told that I have to pay for shipping one way and pay $110.00 for labor and that they would pay for the part. What is warranty for? I know one thing: Emerson has lost one more customer.

My son bought an Emerson 40" TV from Walmart on Black Friday 2011. He stood in line and had to go back in the middle of the night to purchase it. He gave me the TV for Christmas. After having it connected, I was not pleased with the picture and wanted to take the TV back but did not want to hurt my son's' feelings by complaining about a gift. I did not like the way the picture looked. I was told by Walmart that I needed the receipt, but my son did not have it. I just wanted to pay the difference for a better TV. Now, 9 months later, the TV is still so dark a lot of times I can't see what is going on, but after reading the reviews I am not as bad off as some.

My Emerson 32" TV bought in November of 2011 wouldn't turn on one day in August 2012, just like a lot of people here. I tried to take it back to Walmart, but they wouldn't accept it past the 30 days. I paid $228.00 for it. I believe it was an item offered on Black Friday at a lower price. However, I bought it on November 13 and now, I had to buy another TV in less than a year.

Just like everyone else, I have experienced the exact same thing. The price of the TV was excellent, I thought at the time. However, six months later, I have nothing but a big square memory to look at! No TV and Emerson is reaping all the benefits! On Black Friday 2012, we waited for 5 1/2 hours to get this great deal on a 42" flat screen TV. While standing in line for 5 1/2 hours, a good friend was there to purchase two 42" Emerson. Guess what? They both stopped working on the same day. In a casual conversation with my friend, who is six months down the road, she said, "Do you all ever have any problem with that TV bought on Black Friday?" Well, the more we talked, ours quit within a day or two of theirs! What a rip off. And they want $110 sent to them with the TV. This should be against the law!

Same as everyone else with the Emerson TV. I bought it on Black Friday. It stopped working in August. It just shuts off and had very little play time. I say we all write the newspapers and the news with the issue on this brand of TV and the so-called good Black Friday deals and Wal-Mart's easy way of making money. This is absolute **!

I bought two Emerson TVs in December 2011 and by May 2012, neither one is working because of blown fuses. Replaced the fuse and it blew. Why keep selling junk? They are just taking money that people have to work hard for.

Emerson 32" TV - Like all the other complaints I read, the TV just stopped working. Black Friday was not a good day for a purchase like this I am feeling. Shame on Walmart for carrying this brand and making like you are receiving a true value. Buying a TV in late November 2011 and have it stop working in early September 2012 is unbelievable! Sign me up for the class action suit as well. We cannot all be wrong.

I bought a 40-inch Emerson TV on Black Friday, November 2011 at Walmart. I quit working back in August. I called the warranty department and was put on hold for hours. They said it would cost $110.00 to fix it even though it is under warranty. What a ripoff. If they can't stand behind their products any better than that, then they are just ripping everybody off. Something should be done about this. I would never buy another Emerson product or recommend one.

This 32-inch Emerson stopped working after 6 months. All that money went down the drain. Emerson is horrible. They should reimburse me. I am very angry. I am not going to pay the $70.00 charge and have it shipped to get it fixed. I want a different one. This is horrible.

My 40-in. Emerson TV picture went out. I had purchased an extended warranty but according to both the manufacturer and the warranty company, the extended warranty does not start until the year is up. The manufacturer does not cover the labor that will cost an additional 110 dollars and they are asking for it before they have received the TV or tell me where to send it to .

Like everyone else, this stupid television does what it wants to when it wants to. My husband purchased this television and less than a year later is when we started having problems. At first, the volume would turn all the way up or all the way down by itself. No matter what I did with the remote, the volume would continue to increase or decrease. My husband was convinced that I was just laying on the remote in my sleep and hitting the volume button until he experienced this for himself. We have experienced the television turning off by itself and not coming back on, hearing loud popping noises coming from it and the menu popping up when we press the volume or channel controls on the unit itself. I have had it with this television and this company needs to resolve this issue with all who have purchased this piece of junk!

I bought my Emerson 40-inch TV on 11/26/11, Black Friday. Out of nowhere, my TV completely stopped working. No red light, no sound, nothing, which is pretty much what everyone else was complaining of as well. Don't ever purchase an Emerson TV! Worst TV ever.

I bought the Emerson 32-inch TV on Black Friday, November 2011, from Walmart. The TV stayed in the box for a couple of months. When I used the TV maybe twelve times, the rest of the time it was unplugged. I plugged it in and the power would not even come on. This is August 2012. I will never buy another Emerson TV. It costs too much to repair and Walmart won't do anything about it. I never had a problem with Emerson before. First and last problem. The TV should have lasted longer than this.

I could copy and paste anyone of the current posted comments. I purchased a 32" Emerson LCD TV seven months ago. It turned off by itself last night and now we have no power at all. No sound, no image. I too will never buy another Emerson TV.

On 8/22/12, my TV suddenly turned off and I didn't think anything of it until the next day when it didn't turn on at all. So I unplugged, replugged all of that nonsense. I called and spoke to a representative that told me to go to a repair shop. I asked about the warranty since the TV is fairly new, a few months old and he asked for the receipt. I said I don't have a receipt but I can pull up the bank statement. Basically, he ** around and now I have no TV. We all as consumers need to join together and put it on all social media sites that this product sucks. Corporate America cannot keep getting away with this. We work too hard for our money to get ripped off!

I bought my 40 inch Emerson TV on Black Friday 2011 just like everyone else. Today, 8/21/12, the TV won’t turn on at all. No red lights, no green lights, no noises, nothing. I tried to unplug everything, wait, then turn back on and still nothing. And now, reading that everyone is having the same issue just makes me so angry! I am on the phone right now to see if there is anything that can be done. I refuse to take no for an answer.

My wife purchased an Emerson TV on Black Friday, November 2011. Today 08/20/2012, my great 40-inch Emerson does not work. I was on the phone for over 45 minutes. Finally, I talked to somebody and they informed me that their product is only covered for 90 days and I would have to pay for repairs. It’s not even a year old. I wonder if that was the CEO’s TV, would he be happy? I will never buy Emerson again because it is garbage and I will tell everybody about the treatment and the crappy product.

She was given the 32-inch Emerson from Walmart, also from Black Friday in 11/2011. We put it at our lake house and it was only watched on the weekends. This past weekend, nothing - no sound or picture. After reading all the reviews, it looks like I don't even need to call Emerson. It doesn't sound like they will do anything. This is very sad that they would not stand behind their products. Walmart should stop supporting them. I will never buy Emerson again!

We bought the 40" on black Friday at Wal-Mart and the same thing happened to the rest of you. I foolishly paid the $110 labor fee only to receive a refurbished replacement with the end of a cord cut off and the screen shattered. I have been calling and filing complaints for over six weeks. I threatened the company that I would start filing complaints with the Consumer Protection, BBB, Wal-Mart (which is complicit in this scam), that I would post on their Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Now they have been returning our calls but acting as if they do not understand what it is we want. I want my TV or my money back! I say that we start filing complaints with everyone who will let us and Wal-Mart for selling defective products and not standing behind the purchase. Wal-Mart may be the way to stop Emerson from deceptive trade practices.

I bought a 40" Emerson TV on Nov. 25, 2011 and as of Aug. 1, 2012, it won't come on. After reading all of these complaints, someone needs to do something about this.

This 32" TV broke in less than a year! It was purchased at Wal-Mart during Black Friday last year. It spontaneously stopped working and will no longer turn on. It appears this same model is breaking for hundreds of consumers who also purchased their TV on Black Friday. We all demand refunds or better! This TV sale was a scam!

I was supposed to get a box to have my TV fixed and no one sent one, no one even answered me when I called. The second time, they put my phone on block so I could not call. I own three TVs of Emerson TV and the fuse blew out on one of them. I had called them in June of 2012. No one sent a box so I took my own TV I paid for and am still paying for a part to see what the problem was and it is only a fuse and now no one in Customer Service will help me due to the problem that they never told me that I could not do it in the first place.

It looks like the same as all the others. Emerson 32" LCD TV just stopped working. One day it had 1/2 of a picture then no picture, just sound. Now there's nothing. I do have a receipt for my 116-day-old television purchased at Wal-Mart and Emerson wants $70 "labor fee" to fix my television (which is over 30% of the original cost).

We bought the 32" Emerson TV on Black Friday. A couple of months later, we installed it in a spare room. We watched it about 10 times and then it went completely out. My husband spent hours on the phone to talk to the warranty department. They said for $70, you can send your TV back for a refurbished one. I will never buy an Emerson TV again.

I bought a 32" Emerson from Walmart on Black Friday 2011. Guess what! The TV was not working at all. Wow! I only had it for 8 months. I got bad luck on this. No more Emerson for me.

I purchased a 32-inch Emerson TV on Black Friday at Walmart in Nov. 2010. The TV stopped working 6 months later. I called Emerson. The rep told me to send the TV back. It was still under warranty so we did that. What I did not know was that the TV was a refurbished one. The rep told me that they will send me a new one but that was a lie! So, the second TV that they sent me has gone out again with the same problems as the first one. I called Emerson; they told me that the refurbished TV has only a 90-day warranty and that they cannot and will not replace it, that I was on my own to do so. I asked for the CEO of Emerson to tell him about the products that he is selling and making the young lady transfer me to her supervisor. And when she did, I got the voice mail.

I have had my 32" television a few months now. I woke up with no sound, just picture. Then it came back on for a few minutes then off. I thought it may be just the weather, etc. However, it has gotten worse. I thought I would give Emerson another try after growing up with an Emerson radio years ago. I checked with DirecTV as to any satellite problems. I'm very disheartened. I'm supposed to stay inside during heat due to health. I'm not sure what this daily and weekly newsletter is. I am writing this with the purpose to go to Emerson.

About a month ago, my 27" Vizio died and Walmart was running a sale on the 32" Emerson TVs. So I bought one thinking it would be a deal for $228. I've tried using my DVD player, Xbox, Xbox 360, my Wii and the PC setting, and none of them worked with the TV. I've played with all the settings. I've had my friends, who fix electronics, take a look at it even and nothing. I bought it to play video games on and watch movies and all I can do is watch TV. From what I've read in other comments, I probably only have a few more months before that stops too.

Eight months ago, we bought a 22-inch Emerson TV for our spare room. It has less than 12 hours on it. I turned it on today and the volume just started going up all by itself and then it went out completely. I would never buy an Emerson again and Walmart should stop doing business with them or stand behind the products they sell. I wish I would have checked reviews before buying.
