Emerson TVs Reviews

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.

I have a 40-inch LCD TV that I bought on 11/26/11. I have watched it less than 10 times. It will not turn on. Emerson says it is under warranty and will fix it for $110. I will not give Emerson another dollar. I will tell everyone I know to never buy an Emerson product.

I bought an LCD TV, 32-inch, in December for my child's birthday in June. I went to open the box last week and when I tried to play it, it didn't work at all and I don't think that's fair for anybody to pay out a lot of money for a TV that doesn't work. Then, they want me to pay more money out. That's crazy.

I bought my 32-inch Emerson TV a little over 6 months ago. For about half the time, it has been sitting in the box and was not being used. A few weeks ago, when we walked by, the screen would go fuzzy or start flickering. Last night, it wasn't even working at all. I went to look at it and one of the parts had just broken off! I called Emerson and they said it’s considered customer damage, so they don't cover it in the warranty! I plead my case because it was obviously a faulty part, but they wouldn't hear it. All they did was refer me to a service center where I would have to pay $100-plus to fix it. They really are a scam company! They are making very low quality TV's and robbing you with the warranty. It’s definitely not worth the money at all. I will never again buy Emerson and I am warning all my friends and family away from them, too!

We bought our 32-inch LCD TV less than a year ago at Wal-Mart. Today, I turned it on for my son; and 5 minutes later, it quit. Emerson will do nothing about it, because I don't have my receipt! It will not come back on at all. I am so disappointed, and we don't have the money to buy another right now. Emerson is nothing but a scam artist company. I will never buy another Emerson product again, and I will tell everyone I know about my experience!

I have had an Emerson 42-inch TV for about 18 months and within the past month there has been no picture and there’s only sound. Sometimes unplugging it would fix it, but now there’s absolutely no picture. Save your money and buy something else. I will never buy Emerson again - that’s a 100% fact.

I bought my 32-inch model number LHD32K2OUS at Walmart. I bought two year warranty and not even 3 months. It turned off and won’t turn on. I called Walmart, said I have warranty with Emerson. They can’t do anything till 2013 when warranty starts with Walmart. I called Emerson, transferred me to a whole bunch of departments, and said this model is special blah, blah. Well, it’s been a month and I still haven’t been able to get a call or a hold of them at all. Very disappointed. I hate the service Emerson has. Customer service gives you attitude and transfers you to department after department to end up with no one. I will never buy Emerson product again of any kind!

I purchased my 32" LCD Emerson TV 4 years ago at Walmart and have not had one problem with it. Works perfect. My son plays his Xbox on it everyday and watches movies at night. The picture is my only complaint. The color tends to flash odd colors every so often, but other than that, no problems at all. I also have an Emerson video player that is almost 20 years old and works without fail. I have a 26" Emerson LCD/DVD TV in my RV and do not have a problem with it either, great picture. The DVD works great, no problems. Looks like I got lucky. You want to talk about junk? Buy an RCA. Now that's junk. I never had any good luck with them and wasted a lot of money buying RCA and their products.

The TV lasted for 4 months then nothing. I tried to turn the TV on and nothing. It's only 5 months old. I won't buy again. If you can't make a good product, it should not be sold. I will tell everyone I know not to buy this junk.

I purchased the Emerson 32" television with a 2-year warranty during the Black Friday sale in November 2011. The sound has gone out on it already. Wal-Mart’s product service department is mailing me a check for the amount I paid for the TV instead of replacing it. They are not reimbursing me for the cost of the 2-year warranty. I will never buy an Emerson product again! I feel that Wal-Mart should replace the lemon TVs and I demand a refund from Emerson.

My Emerson 32" LED TV (model LHD32K20US) completely lost sound out of the blue one day. We purchased this product in December 2011 right before Christmas and purchased a two-year warranty. Being it was after 30 days, the store would not return item and I have been told to deal with Emerson. Go figure. I have tried numerous times to get a simple call back or response from Emerson but I too have been put through the ringer (dead departments that never call you back or even respond to your messages). My TV has good picture but no sound. I googled this product and have found almost 50 pages of complaints from consumers! Yikes. It sounds like this TV is a lemon! I just want the rest of the consumers know to beware of this junk Emerson is putting out there before putting mine on the side of the road with our next trash pickup! My solution would be to blast Emerson on your local news consumer issues segments and maybe they will get the message that you don't screw consumers who keep you in business! I will never purchase Emerson anything in the near future, never!

I purchased an Emerson 40" HD LCD TV in November 2011 on Black Friday from Wal-Mart in Wallace, NC. It is now May 17, 2012 and the TV will not cut on at all! I have called Wal-Mart and their response was to call the 800 number in owner's manual. I did that and had to leave message. No response as of yet. I'm still holding my breath.

I bought this TV (LCD 40" flat screen) on Black Friday 2011. It's now May and my TV no longer works, won't even come on. I called customer service and had to pay $110 to get pkg materials sent to me to send it back for repair. A week after mine quit working, so did my mother-in-law's. We purchased them the same night. They want another $110 so she can send hers back. It's been less than 6 months. A TV should last longer than that! My husband has a call into a supervisor but of course, hasn't heard from her since leaving the message. I'll never own another Emerson product. This seems to be sort of scam they have going on if they aren't willing to do a recall on such a crappy product!

We have model MW8999SB. It turns on by itself and won't shut off. It stayed on a few weeks ago and got so hot that it would not turn back on. After a few days of cooling down, it still works. But we have to keep it unplugged or it will start itself.

I am in the same boat as everyone else with this Emerson 32 inch LED TV. I bought this TV on 11-5-11 at Wal-Mart. About a month ago, the TV went black and now it will not turn on. I called the 1-888-935-880 number. You never get a real person on the phone. So I have left messages and still no reply. I tried to send a fax to ** and this is someone's cell. This number was given by the answering massage from this company. I have sent an email and they sent me back a message saying that they got it and someone would be getting back to me. I'm still waiting.

My TV is a joke. It's a 32" Emerson and it has a 6-inch line going through, so you can't watch TV. It's less than 2 years old.

I bought an Emerson 32" LED TV in October of 2011 and now, it won't come on. I contacted Emerson and they said I need my receipt. I told them I don't have it. They said I need a receipt and now they won't return my emails. I even asked them if I could buy the part from them and they still won’t return my emails.

I also am a victim to the Emerson LCD TV LHD32K20US scam. They sell a bunch of garbage TV's and don't return my 20 calls to the customer support people. There should be a recall. I just got ripped off $228. Two months after purchase, the picture went out. I have sound but no picture. If anyone has any info on how to get the customer support to respond to my calls, please let me know.

My 32" Emerson TV (Model no. LC320EMX) went off and won't cut back on. The red and green lights blink back and forward but no pictures. What makes you so mad is that, people are having a hard time now with jobs, trying to pay their bills and taking care of their family, and don't really have the extra money to waste - and purchasing that Emerson TV feels exactly like that. Now my family has to save up to purchase another TV, but I tell you this from the bottom of my heart, it won't be an Emerson. The warranty is no good and the service, too.

I purchased an Emerson 22inch LED TV from Wal-Mart for my boyfriend. I have no clue how nice the picture should be because it never worked from the moment we took it out of the box! My boyfriend is a truck driver and was out of town with the TV and I had the receipt at home, so of course, when he attempted to exchange it at another Wal-Mart, he was denied. By the time he got back to town, of course, I could return it because it was beyond their 15-day return policy for electronics. I called Emerson and was told they would do nothing without a receipt which I no longer have. I did not purchase an extended warranty so now we have a nice shiny piece of **. After reading all of these complaints, I will never buy another Emerson. They should be ashamed.

I bought the TV in December and by April it was broken past the 90 days to return to the store. So, trying to get satisfaction from Emerson is a joke. All they do is keep telling me to call someone else and when I try, all I get is automated **.

I had my 32” TV for 9 months and it started giving me problems. It would turn itself off when I tried to turn it on. It would finally stay on after 15-30 attempts. When I called Emerson, they generously offered to sell me a refurbished TV at a discounted price. Now, I already had a defective TV and they thought I wanted another one! So much for a warranty! I will never own another Emerson product.

I purchased this TV (22 inch Emerson flat screen LCD) in late Oct 2011. I actually purchased two. I opened the first one right away and have no problems. However, I just opened the second TV three weeks ago and it has never worked. I have a white snowy screen with horizontal blue dashed lines going across. No help from customer service and they sounded like robots telling me I only had a 90-day warranty. I am so disappointed in this product and the customer service. I will let Emerson Corp. know that I will never purchase another product from them again and I will let everyone I know not to either.

Emerson 40-inch TV Black Friday Special 2011 - I bought this TV at a great price and, like all you others, waited in line for hours in the middle of the night. I even went to a 2nd Walmart store to find this particular item. It was my first flat screen so I was excited. Recently the color keeps dimming in and out on it and now I'm not very impressed with it. I emailed the company and am waiting on a response, but as I see here, I am sure nothing will be done. I agree with many others that this TV should be recalled.

Just like the rest of them, I bought it (Emerson LCD TV Model LHD32K20US) at a Black Friday Sale 2011 and now it's broken, no picture just sound and it's only April 12 2012. They should have a re-call on their TVs if they can't make them last. I have never had a TV, even used TVs, break in six months or less. Talk about trying to keep junk out of the landfill. Fix their TVs and it would help. We need a recall.

I've read the many other complaints about this 42” LCD TV and see that I'm not alone with this matter. I've had this set for about a month and when I turn it on, it goes black within 30 seconds. I obviously called Wal-Mart - no help. Then: I called the manufacturer: no help. These crooks should be sued and thrown into jail. I have been in retail for quite some time and this company is the worst - just below AT&T.

I bought the 40" Emerson TV four months ago (Black Friday) at Wal-Mart. All of a sudden, it stopped working. I contacted Emerson and they said labor charges would be more than the cost of the TV. They weren't willing to help us and now we are stuck with a black box that doesn't work. I will never ever buy another Emerson product. Lesson learned: "Don't put gold on a sinking ship."

My mother-in-law bought us a 40" TV for Christmas on Black Friday. It was a great deal for $248. I had no complaints with this TV until today. I turned it on and the picture came up for less then 30 seconds then went black. There is sound but no picture. I called Emerson and they said since it was past 90 days, they would pay for the parts to fix the TV but I would have to pay for labor. Labor costs would exceed the cost of the TV. We got less than four months of use and now I have a giant paper weight. This company is a joke and obviously doesn't make quality products. I guess you get what you pay for and I will never purchase another Emerson product ever again!

Our children bought us a 40-inch Emerson flat screen last Christmas, and one week ago, my grandson was watching TV when it started making a hissing sound and grey smoke started rolling out of the top vents. We unplugged it and since we couldn't get it off the wall bracket without help we extended it out as far from the wall as possible. The house was filled with a foul smelling smoke. It stopped smoking after a short time, but we are not willing to take a chance on another Emerson. We plan on trashing it for good. We feel it is unsafe.

I purchased the 32 inch model LC320EM1F TV on black Friday 2010, waiting in line at Walmart for over 6 hours. I did not set the TV up until January as it was gift for my husband’s birthday. This TV was used less than a year when this problem started. I am disappointed that this has lasted for not quite a year. I would have spent a little more for another TV if I had known this was going to be a problem. Since reading the other complaints, I see this is an ongoing issue. I would think it should be recalled as defective!

I called in September 2011 for my 26" LCD TV. The first company took all my information and said we will call back. And then I left for Florida and got back and never got a call, so I called back with my file number and everything. I was transferred to another company because in January 2012, there was a change of branch. So my file number was not good anymore–that’s what they told me. So I went through the same thing again and they told me we will call back and never did. So I went to Wall-Mart in New-Brunswick and told them my story and they could believe the service. So the girl there said, “Usually, we don't do this for a customer, but I will call for you.” And she did. She could believe the 25-minute wait and that she added to push to have service.

My Emerson 19" LCD TV is approximately 20 months old. I turned it on, it flashed and went off. That was the end of it. There is no power, no picture, no audio—no anything. I went online to see if others had had similar experiences, only to find dozens (maybe hundreds) of complaints. I called the nearest authorized repair company and explained what had happened. I was told to throw it away and get another brand. I returned it to Wal-Mart and was told no refund or exchange. I called Emerson and they said they could do nothing. I should have bought an extended warranty. I maintain that if they made a decent product, I would not need an extended warranty. We are more fortunate than others since we had 20 months use. Many complainers had far less. My advice to others: do not buy Emerson brand or at least buy the longest extended warranty you can get.

I purchased an Emerson 40 inch TV for my son on November 25th, 2011 for one of his Christmas presents. I actually set up the TV on December 26th. The TV developed a green vertical line on the screen so I called the warranty department on March 26th (exactly three months of use). I was told that since I was past the 90 day warranty, only parts were covered.

Got the Emerson 32 inch LCD TV for Christmas. The warranty ran out and the set went dead. I called tech support to tell them the story. After telling them the problem, they said I should have gotten the extended warranty. No help at all, that is poor tech support in my book.

My 42-inch Emerson TV’s volume turns up or down while it’s on. Seriously, I know they won’t last a lifetime, but at least long enough to enjoy. This is very poor quality from the company that I thought were one of the best brands. I guess not.

The TV will not power up. The TV is still under warranty and I was told that the nearest service center to me is in Columbus, Ohio. They would need a $70.00 fee for labor up front and the shipping is not covered to send it to them.

Unacceptable! My husband and I purchased a 32" Emerson TV from Walmart about nine months ago. While watching the TV in bed one night, it blinked off and to our surprise, it did not come on again. I think this is unacceptable from this company to sell a defective product. After viewing other complaints, I know I will never ever in this life buy anything with their name or logo attached to it! One angry customer, I will stick to Sony, Samsung and other quality products.

I got talked into going to Walmart on Black Friday in 2010. Until a recent mishap, I was actually glad I did it. I purchased a 42" Emerson 1080p LCD HDTV for next to nothing and was quite happy with it. And then, just after the warranty expired, like magic, the TV started having problems--big problems.

I bought this TV last night at Walmart. The worst thing is is that I saw all the complaints but I told myself that if there's that many people reporting the same thing, then they should fix it. So I called Emerson before I bought the product and asked them if they had fixed it. He told me that since he started working there, he hasn't heard anything. But before 2007, it was a problem. So, I said okay. They must have fixed it. Well, apparently not. My brand new TV started to shut itself off, then turn itself on twice this morning. I will bring this TV back to Walmart on Tuesday. I also called Emerson to tell them that they lied to me and that I was never going to buy from them again. I filed a complaint. Here is the model: "LC26OEM2" 26" LCD.

I had a 2008 Emerson TV that the power would turn off on its own until finally it wouldn't turn back on. I called the 877 number and was told there was a problem with the TV and would be covered under warranty. This started in November 2011. I sent the TV back and finally received the first week of January. When I opened it the frame of the TV was damaged, so I had to send it back once again. They tell me that can't fix it, so the send me a refurbished one. I received it on 2/16/12 and had it on for two hours and this one is now shutting off on its own. I emailed immediately at 7:30 PM on the 16th; never got a reply, so I forwarded the same email again at 2:00 PM on the 17th.

My children and I got home and prepared to play the Wii as we do every evening, our normal daily routine, only to try and turn on the 32" LCD Emerson that I purchased during Black Friday of 2010; but nothing happened. I instantly remembered the warranty just expired in December, that I waited in line 6+ hours for. So, I traveled to the garage to find the box with the manual that I kept and called the service number. The foreign-accented lady told me she can't help. The warranty was expired, but she gave me the number to a repair specialist that is 45 minutes from my home.

You know the old saying that they sure don't make things like they use to. Well, that’s the truth. My daughter was playing the Wii. She had the band on. I put the foot rest up on my chair and when she went to move she hit the foot rest and the back of the Wii remote came off. A battery went flying and hit the screen. There wasn't a scratch on the screen on the outside but it looked like a 6 inch round area of shattered glass. Then the picture went completely out.

I bought an Emerson 20" TV/DVD on Black Friday 2010 at Walmart. We've used it for about a year. Recently, the remote started to malfunction. About half the buttons work. Also, the DVD player started rejecting the DVDs. My two and a half year old daughter is very disappointed that her movies don't work. I am upset to read about the poor customer service on both the part of Emerson and Walmart. It sure would be nice to get a replacement. I won't buy an Emerson again, nor a TV from Walmart!

I bought 2 Emerson 32" TVs on Black Friday 2011, and now one of them is stuck on a certain channel, and will not go into HDMI, because of it. The manufacturer refuses to do anything about it, and now I'm stuck with a TV that I cant do anything with, because it won't go into HDMI.

I have an Emerson flat panel TV I received for Christmas. It is not even 2 months old. I went to turn it on this morning. It will not turn on. I have done all of the troubleshooting in the manual, and nothing is working. I have since called the number listed on my paperwork, have left 6 messages, as well as sent 4 emails. No one is responding at all. I went online, and found a couple more "Emerson" related numbers, and in the end was told they don't manufacture that TV. I know at some point that someone did manufacture it. It is apparent no one wants to back up the product. I think it is absolutely ridiculous that I have not received 1 return call or email. The phone message says they are open from 9AM - 6PM Eastern Time. I live in Michigan, and it is 3PM here. I know that it has to at least be 9AM (or later in Georgia)!

The set was replaced with a refurbished one at no charge, because it was still under a 1 year warranty. Now, the refurbished one won't come on with the remote. Also, the set's push buttons won't work. Emerson won't replace the refurbished one. They said it's now out of warranty. They sold me a new remote for $26.00. They said that if that isn't the problem, it can not be returned, and referred me to a service center. They won't cover any more repairs. This set is 3 months old.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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