Emerson TVs Reviews

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

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

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

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

I purchased 32-inch LCD Emerson TV on March 18, 2010 and last month, it started changing channels and the volume would go up and down all by itself. I purchased the warranty (one year) but of course, it is just over one year. Research shows it has to do with the switch on the motherboard. To fix, it would cost almost twice what I paid for it. This is what these big companies do to the average consumer. They get their money and don't stand behind their product. No wonder this whole nation is going downhill! I went in to Best Buy and they don't even carry Emerson anymore. I will not do anything about it and Emerson could care less. This TV was for my disabled mother and we don't have the funds to fix it or replace it. After countless hours and stress, I just don't have the energy to fight it anymore.

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

I purchased on 5/15/2010 a 32-inch Emerson TV model LC320EM1. The TV immediately gave me issues since letters and numbers began to run across the screen. It would stop. Though it would happen regularly, sometimes it happened and sometimes it didn't. So since everything is computer-ran nowadays, I ignored it. Well, my TV started shutting down about around Easter, April 2011. It would then come back on. It worked okay in May. But it has cut off twice this June.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I bought a 32" HD flat screen TV from Wal-Mart on 11/04/07 for about 600 plus dollars. Something happened to the audio, going from low to high to low. This was on 12/10/08. I bought an extended warranty. I finally got it shipped off for repair. I got it back on 1/16/09. I had to rent a TV for a month and a half, and then I got it back. It worked for 6 and a half months. The exact same thing happened again. Since June 09 I bought another T.V. I’m stuck with a lemon. It’s about time for a class action suit. How long is this company going to keep ripping people off?

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

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

I purchased an Emerson 32" TV in July 2009. In September 2009, the TV started showing a horizontal line across the middle of the set. I called the number on the front of the owner's manual, 866-309-8819, and they gave me a reference # to use when I faxed all of my supporting documents to them, which I did on 10/23/09. They said they would get back to me in a few days and give me a repair shop to go to. I finally got someone to call me back and they gave me a repair shop, Chaparral Electronics, Upland Dr., Houston, TX and I took my set to them on 11/6/09. Today is June 8, 2010 and I have yet to get my TV back from Chaparral. Every time I call, they say they are ordering a part, just ordered a part, or waiting to get a part in. I have been calling the warranty service company, 866-309-8819, but they say they can't help me, that I've got to call the repair shop.

I purchased a 32" Emerson TV in late 2007. About one year ago the TV would not turn on. Only the red light was on and when you push the power button the green light would flash for 2-3 seconds and then go back to red. After a few hours I tried again and it began to work.

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

I purchased a 32" EMERSON flat screen TV om 08-06-07, plus a two year contract warranty we only use the tv 6 months a year because we have a winter home in Florida.On May 1st when we returned we turn on the TV and the green light would come on for just a second and then turn back to red, we called Walmart and they refered me to their warranty people who then said it was out of warranty. Called Emerson, and they said it was out of warranty. I took it to a repair shop, where they charged $40 to check it out. They told me it would cost over $200 to fix it, Then they call back later and said that parts were not available for the suspected problem. Now I have a $600 Tv done the toilet. Now not only will I not purchase anything from Walmart again (Emerson) should be hit with a class action lawsuit for making and selling Junk to the consumer. The model LC320em8an.is a dud and they know it. The cost of $650 plus the cost of $40 for having it checked out, makes for a pretty expensive experience. I would have gladly paid that much for an american made TV set.

Wow! Let me just say that I am amazed at all of the comments posted on here. I, too, have been searching the net for answers on trouble shooting my 19in Emerson flat panel LCD TV. We purchased it in Nov of 2008 for our daughter's playroom. This past weekend (Memorial Day) it just quit working. I thought that perhaps it was because we had some rain showers and maybe it had suffered a lightening strike. But it was, as are all of the TVs in our house, plugged into a surge protector. None of the other TVs suffered any damage. I called Emerson but was left on "ignore" indefinitely. I am truly worried because just this past

Okay so I got a Emerson 32in LCD TV in about 2008 through a raffle at my school about three months after I received it the television stopped working it would turn on for 2 second and turn right back off. Well Emerson took it back and I had to pay $60 to get it fixed that took about 2 months to get back. After that I had absolutely no problems with it until today! It happened again for the second time! I cannot believe this, I called them and they said they cannot do anything to help me because it is not covered under warranty any ore! Even though they can see that this has happened before and it is not a problem that I caused it is a defect in their TV's! Which is ridiculous! So I decided to call around to see how much it would cost to fix this problem and everyone I have talked to has said it would take anywhere from $200 to $300 to fix! Seriously? That is more than the TV is worth. It makes absolutely no sense as to why this TV has not been recalled because everyone has had this problem! And I believe that the company should fix the defect if it occurs at any point in time not just if it is under their 90 day labor warranty or their 1 year parts warranty! This company is a sorry business!

My son purchased an Emerson 19' Flat Screen TV from Walmart in Marshall, Missouri around February 2010. He is a college student at Missouri Valley College in Marshall. Needless to say, he has very little money for purchases like this, but he used money he got for Christmas to purchase the TV. In May 2010, when he was getting ready to come home for the summer, the TV just stopped working. He was watching the TV at the time. The screen went black and the sound quit. We have not been able to get the TV to even turn on, since that time. This is very discouraging to someone who would have never purchased this TV, had he known it would quit working like it did, and that Walmart or Emerson won't even respond to our E-mails. We will not shop at Walmart nor will we ever purchase Emerson products again. And word of mouth goes a long way!

I bought an Emerson 19" LCD TV/DVD on 1/25/10 at Walmart. Walmart was having a sale that was finally in our price range for one of these TVs. We purchased the 2-year Product Care Plan on it because it was a big purchase for us. Today, 20 days after the 90-day return policy, the television just quit working. It shut down in the middle of watching a DVD. I unplugged the TV and left it unplugged for 30 minutes. I then plugged it back into the wall only to find that the TV didn't show any power light (red light) nor did it comes back on (green light) when I attempted to turn it on. The TV just sits there making a high pitched whine noise. It didn't even respond to the remote to release the DVD that was in it at the time it shut down. Walmart of course said they couldn't do anything about it and that I should contact the manufacturer for the warranty on the product.

After about two years of use on my Emerson 32 inch LCD TV, I started to notice that there was a line extending down the screen from top to bottom along the right side. It seems to go away after several minutes but it is obviously not supposed to be like that. Emerson (Funai Corp.) will not do anything about it even though they are aware of the defect in their TVs.

I got my TV in March of 2009 and today, 5/12/10, my TV has this thin blue line from top to bottom of the screen. I called Emerson, they were of no help at all! Something should be done about this! I paid over 500 dollars for this TV.

I bought an Emerson lc320emx and so far for the first 2 months so far so good. Except that it has shut off while watching TV now 3 or 4 times now I just wanted to put my word in now if it does stop working and there is a recall I have a chance to get it replaced. Thanks.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I purchased a 19-inch Emerson TV from Walmart that was manufactured around June 2008. The TV stopped working in December 2009. I called the company and they referred me to a repair shop. Because the warranty is over, they were not concerned that this product's quality was not good.

I purchased a 32" Emerson TV from Walmart in November 2008. In November 2009 the TV stopped powering on. Nobody to speak to about the warranty and when I emailed them, I still haven't received a response.

I bought an Emerson 32" TV and it worked great until I got a blue vertical line down the screen 13 months after buying. I am sick! These people need to make good on the product. My warranty was up and I did not get the extended one, which is beside the point. It would just be more aggravation. I paid $478 for this TV! It should last a heck of a lot longer than this. We need a class action suit or sue individually. There are too many people with problems. They will not stand behind their product. I want to contact my credit card company to see if there is anything I can do. The service people said that it was the panel board. It would cost about $200. Then there is no guarantee that it will not go bad in another way!

Add me to the list of people who bought the 32" Emerson TV from Wal-Mart. The same problem of turning on the TV - the green light blinks, and about 2 seconds later, it turns red and goes back to the standby mode. I’m out about $500 and another $350 to replace it with a different brand. Shame on Wal-Mart for selling this defective item and Emerson for producing it.

We purchased an Emerson TV about 6 months ago. The TV worked really good for about 3 months, and then one morning, I turned it on and it immediately went to standby. No picture or sound. I still have the box for the TV with all the information on it. I called Walmart and was given the # to the corporate office. I was told they would investigate it and call me back in 3 days. I waited a week and called them back, only to be told they are still investigating it. I explained to them that all they needed to do was look at their own website and see the complaints about this TV. I asked why wasn't there a recall done on this TV and was told because Walmart don't want to lose money and Emerson won't admit the product is faulty. I'm not asking for money back; I only want what I paid for and that's a TV that works. Why should the consumer have to pay the price while Walmart and Emerson get rich? Please help me!

I bought the Emerson LC320EM8A from Walmart in 2008 and on 12-12-09, I couldn't turn it back on. Its green light will flash and back off again and won't stay on. I opened the TV and see if any thing on the board have been burned but found nothing burned, just bad power supply. After reading complaints of all these people with similar problem, I don't feel like there's any use to call for Emerson's technical support. It was so sad I wasted $600 for a little over a year used. Big time scam! I will never buy Emerson products again. Promise.

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

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

I purchased an Emerson LCD 32-inch TV. It lasted for only two months, and then the power supply went out. I called the 800 number and Emerson paid for the part but I had to pay $175 for the labor. I brought the TV home, it played for 6 months, and now it’s gone out again. Emerson tells me there is nothing more they can do. I think they should be held accountable for the terrible products they are selling. This is the same TV that was on the Walmart Black Friday ad.

I bought an Emerson 32" Flat screen Model #LC320EM8A. I had this product for about 2 years and used only 7 or 8 months. It was bought for a summer home. I paid $560.00 for it from Wal-Mart. I was watching it and it stopped working, it won't turn back on. I check the fuse, nothing works. It’s just a sad thing that all these people purchase the same TV and none of them work. This company should definitely be held accountable and there should be a recall on all these products. Emerson is going down the tubes. Don't ever buy one of their products, they are the worst.

I bought a 32 inch Emerson television and it broke a little after over a year. The company did not care about the consumer and refused to take responsibility for making junk. It ignored my emails and hung up on me when I called. It scams the consumers every time.

Walmart Black Friday special Emerson TV, 32-inch - I waited from midnight until 5:00AM to get the TV. I brought it home and hooked it up. It had a blue cast to the TV and looked terrible. I called Emerson and their customer service was horrendous. I took the TV back to Walmart and they didn't have any replacements. Of course they had the TV, but it was $100.00 more.

I bought an Emerson TV 20" Model #CR202EM9 in March of 2008 at the local Walmart. When I talked to Walmart, they said that the only thing I could do was send it in to the company. I did not purchase any kind of a warranty. I, too, was watching TV one day and it just shut off. Thank God I only paid just over $100 since it only lasted 7 mos. Mine will not turn back on either. I popped the back off and the Tube Bulb looks good, nothing looks fried. I have not taken it in to have someone look at it for $25. I'm pretty sure that I will just dump it and save my $25! I will not be buying any more Emerson TVs. So when I look for a used TV in the paper, do you know why there are no Emerson ones available? Because they don't even last long enough for anyone to be able to resell them!

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

My complaint, like the eight pages of complaints, is regarding an Emerson 32" Digital Television LC320EM82S. This television has had little use. It was purchased at Walmart in Bluefield, VA approximately 18 months again for a price in excess of $600.00. I turned it off, and an hour later, I attempted to turn it on. It will not turn on. This is just another complaint to add to the dozens of complaints already voiced. A major company is taking a goodly amount of money from the consumers for an inferior piece of electronics. Shame on them and shame on Walmart for not standing behind this product once it was determined that it was defective!

My Emerson television model LC320EM8A crapped out after 19 months due to bad power supply.

I bought an 32" Emerson flat screen TV. It lasted only 13 months! My problem is the same as quite a few I found on a consumer complaint forum. It powers on for a second then goes off. It will not stay on. So sad, so mad! My first flat screen. Emerson? Never again!

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

I turned off my Emerson TV, went downstairs, came back upstairs later and turned on the TV. I could hear people talking but no picture, just a blue screen. I could not change channel, just a blue screen.

I purchased the Emerson 32" flat screen TV on November 28, 2008. Now, there is no sound coming through on several channels. On other channels, the picture and sound are not in sync. Please advise!

Same complaint as many other Emerson LC321EM9 TV I bought at Wal-Mart on 03/14/09; work till I shut it off one evening, 10/02/09, never turned back on. I called Wal-Mart and they told me to call Emerson, so I did. They said I would have to take it 60 miles to the closest repair shop and pay for labor. I emailed Emerson but still haven't heard back. Junk! I will never buy another.

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

We bought a 32-inch Emerson digital TV from Walmart costing around $600. We had the TV for about 15 months. We turned the TV off one night before going to bed, the next morning the TV would not come back on. After calling the Emerson tech support, the guy simply stated "sounds like a broken unit". We took it to a repair shop and were told it would cost $400 to repair the $600 TV (not to mention the $30 deposit for the repair guy to even look at the unit). I am not happy about this. My family & I are now out of a TV because we cannot afford to pay that much to repair the TV nor would we even if we had it. Who's to say that even if we had this defective product repaired that in a few months something else might break on it causing yet another problem. No, thank you. It seems unfair to me that this multimillion dollar company can take advantage of consumers this way. Obviously, from reading the other complaints, this product is definitely a defect on the company's part, not the innocent consumers! We shouldn't have to eat this cost.

I bought an Emerson 32-inch digital/analog LCD color TV (model LC320EM81) on December 30, 2007 from a local Wal-Mart store in Germantown, Maryland. On September 15, 2009, this TV set was shut down automatically and suddenly when it was being used to watch a TV program. After that, it was never turned on again, as described online by most customers who bought this kind of TV set and experienced the same or similar problem.

I bought a 32-inch Emerson television from Walmart on February 6th of 2009. Late in August of 2009, my television turned itself off shortly after I turned it on. At that point, I had no reason to suspect the TV was failing on me because I have minor nerve damage in my left hand, and sometimes my fingers get twitchy. I figured that perhaps I inadvertently hit the power button one too many times and so I put the incident at the back of my mind and didn't pay it any more attention.

I bought a 32" Emerson HD flat screen. I bought it in 09-2008 and today, 9-15-2009, it’s got the blue line on the left side of the screen. I have decided not to buy anything at Walmart ever. It's anywhere you go and for 12 months of service, all at once it’s going to go out. After reading other people with the same problem, I’m glad I didn't buy the warranty. This needs to stop. We were out $327.99 + tax, not fair at all. I will join in a class action suit just to get this kind of rip off stopped. Paying over $400.00 for a year’s worth of TV is mental anguish. We don't have that kind of money to just throw away.

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

I purchased an Emerson LC302EM82S from Walmart in 03/08 for my birthday as a self treat, an HDTV. Now, I come to find today that it does not work and Funai Corp., the company that builds this line of TVs, also builds a lot of Walmart brand electronics like Durabrand and this Emerson TV was only sold at Walmart. A TV is supposed to be designed to last. I contacted Funai, for them to tell me that they cannot do anything to help me because I am out of warranty and they didn't even offer me an out of warranty repair.

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

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

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

I bought an Emerson HD television from Wal-mart 5 months ago with my tax refund. I also purchased the warranty. About a month ago, a blue vertical line appeared on the left side of the screen; and a red line on the right side. It’s on every channel station. The TV is on a stationary surface. I no longer have the receipt, could my purchase be researched by the warranty purchase?

I experienced the same problem as many other people. I purchased an Emerson 32' flat panel HD TV and am having the problem where I turn it on and then it shuts right back off. You would think with all of the people experiencing the same exact problem, they would do something to fix it.

My mom purchased an Emerson 32" LCD TV with the same model number as those of most everyone on here who has complained about it in November 2008. I used it about 10 hours (She is a snowbird.) and came back north and watched it for 1 day. The picture change to look like an undeveloped negative. She did purchase the warranty, and after jumping through their loops and taking it to a repair shop and paying the labor charge (I was never refunded.), the TV was deemed unrepairable.

My daughter bought a 32-inch Emerson from Wal-Mart in February or March with her tax refund. She was watching it one day when it just went black and now it won't come back on. She of course cannot find her receipt to return it, but I contacted Wal-Mart and they said it would have to be returned to Emerson, which from reading other post won't do any good. She is a single mom making a small salary and cannot afford another TV until tax time next year; until then she is back to using her small 19-inch. It is shame that Wal-Mart and Emerson both will do nothing to fix this defective product. I warned her about buying and Emerson. Maybe she will listen to me next time. The consequence: loss of about $500.

We bought our 32" Emerson TV from Wal-Mart about 16 months ago. I've only wiped down the frame of it, not the screen, with a slightly damp soft cloth. It’s hardly enough to get fingerprints off the screen and is only careful dusting. 6 months ago, I noticed a dark crease in screen that is only visible while the TV is on. It developed another and then another, starting at the top of screen. The middle one is about 1" wide and goes almost halfway down screen. There are three to the right of that and two to the left. The farthest at each side are the shortest in length but the widest in width. It is not moisture. It is not outside the screen. They developed in a few weeks time.

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

Right around 1.3 years ago, I purchased an Emerson LCD 32" TV model LC320EM8A from Walmart. It suddenly went black and is like the problem I have found on this site. No pic, no sound and will not reset. It costs almost as much to maybe repair as it would to buy another inexpensive TV. I am disgusted to see that all these people have the same complaint and cannot get help. A prime example of how not to build a solid customer base. I won't buy Emerson again unless this can somehow be resolved. Also, though I'm a Walmart customer, it is curious to me that most (if not all) of these faulty TVs came from Walmart. Interesting. I'm out about $500 plus the cost of a new TV in replacing this one that died before its time.

I too bought the Emerson 32-inch HDTV. I am having the same problem as everyone else. I looked to turn my TV on and noticed the red standby light was off. Enough said. I looked online and saw too many other people having the same problem as me. It wasn't a good sign. Needless to say, I am very disappointed!

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

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

I bought an Emerson 32inch LCD advertised at Wal-Mart for 1080P but really 1080i. The model number is LC32 1EM9. 1. The HDMI ports do not work at all. The screen displays a "Not Supported Format" when I hook anything through the HDMI port (Playstation 3, computer, Blu-ray Player). I called customer support and they advised to hook up my hi-def equipment via the video composite cords. They also would not give me a list of supported equipment that can be hooked to the HDMI ports. Do not buy Emerson LCD TVs. False advertisement and terrible customer service. I am out around $400 for a useless TV that does not work through the HDMI port.

I bought 2 TVs under the impression that the TVs would be compatible for the transition, they are not. If these companies knew they were changing over, they should have made the TVs the proper way. Emerson had on the box all the compatibilities, I bought them and I found out they are not compatible for the change over. It's not just the point of buying a converter box, coupons, etc, it's the fact that it was supposed to come with what it stated and it misrepresented that. If you expect to pay for something you want, after doing what research your thinking is fair to your knowledge, they shouldn't misrepresent because they want to get rid of products at your expense.

I purchased an Emerson HDTV (model number LC320EM8A) at Wal-Mart about a year ago. One day all of a sudden, it would not turn on. I contacted Wal-Mart, and they said that there was nothing that they could do if there was no warranty. I've tried contacting Emerson support via e-mail, and they do not respond. I've also tried calling Emerson and can't seem to get through to a person. It's frustrating!

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

I bought an Emerson HD (BLC320EM9) on Black Friday 2008. On 6/19/2009, the TV shut off and won't come back on. It powers on for a second, you can see the words digital at the bottom, and then it shuts itself to stand-by (red light) and won't come back on. I called the customer care number and then was given the warranty number. And after holding for 38 minutes (should have been my first clue), I was told I only had a 90-day warranty for that type of problem and would have to pay for it to be fixed and shipped out! So I was suspicious and went on the web and found that I am not alone.

Comcast issued DTA converter boxes and my Emerson LCD TV model LC320EM8 is not compatible with the remote for it as told to me by Comcast Service. I called Emerson at 1-800-256-2487 and they won't even answer due to overloaded phone lines. I sent an email and received this on 6/15/2009. I’m still waiting for an answer.

I bought a 32inch Emerson TV on 11/28/2008 at Wal-Mart. On 6/15/2009, it stopped working. I cannot get any help from Wal-Mart or Emerson. I cannot afford to buy another TV at this time.

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

In February of 2008. I purchased a Emerson television from Wal-Mart. It is now June of 2009. The warranty has expired and the television will no longer come on. My friend bought the same television on the same day and sent hers off to Emerson in December and got hers back a week ago from Emerson but it no longer works either. I think they should be recalled. It does no good to call because you just get a big runaround every time.

I bought the Emerson TV. Soon after warranty, I ran out the TV, shut off and now it won’t turn back on. With all the people having the exact same problem, there should be a recall on them. Emerson should fix the problem. Obviously, if we are shopping at Wal-Mart, we are looking for deals that we can afford. My children now have no TV. Someone needs to do something about this. Due to Wal-Mart not doing anything about a problem with the TV, I will not be buying any from them.

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

I bought an Emerson LCD TV model #LC320EM82S from Walmart in Asheville, NC in April 2008. I have had just past the expiration of the warranty and the TV shuts off and won't come back on. I have researched this model on the internet and a lot of people are having the same problem. No one from Walmart or Emerson will take responsibility for the defective products. We believe there needs to be an investigation into a product like this. We are out over $600 and now we have no way to get a TV. It is wrong for products to be allowed to be sold to consumers with this sort of problems.

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

I purchased this TV from Walmart about 15 months ago. The problem seems to be the same that everyone else is having, with it going blank and not turning back on. I have had it fixed twice. I am out about $850 on this TV at this moment. I can't afford to take another hit. Something needs to be done such as a class action lawsuit! Please help others and I!

I purchased a TV from Walmart on April 22, 2008. The cost of item was $585.32. The TV is defective; when you turn it on, it turns itself off within a 3- to 5-second time frame. The brand name is Emerson and neither Walmart or Emerson wants to repair it or refund me the money or give an equal exchange. They are both blaming each other, and in the meantime, I am out a TV and 585 dollars. I traded in good faith and want nothing more than what I have lost.

I bought an Emerson TV LC320EM82 S from Wal-mart last February 2, 2008. I spent $700+ with extended warranty. I had it for one year and two months before it quit working. When I turn it on, for a second, you can read Digital Television; and then it shuts off. I was very upset. I read the owner’s manual and did everything it said and still no luck. I called Funai and spoke to someone named Crystal. She told me to do the same things, and I explained I had already done this. She acted very sympathetic and said she was sorry. I said, “Yeah, me too. I have a $700 piece of junk.”

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

I bought an Emerson 32" LCD TV, model LC320EM82S from Wal-Mart in Elizabethton, TN on Feb. 1, 2008. This morning, I watched for about an hour then turned it off. About 5-10 minutes later, I turned it on again and after a few seconds, it shut off again. I left it unplugged for about 45 minutes. I tried turning it on again and the same thing happened. After calling Emerson, they agreed to pay for parts, then didn't, then did. I am supposed to take it to a local repair shop but after reading everyone else's same problems, I may just wait for a recall. I will never buy another Emerson product again. Someone please get a class action lawsuit against Emerson.

I bought an Emerson 32-inch LCD TV at Wal-Mart on January 20th, 2008. On April 26th, power would come on then shut right back off. I went to Wal-Mart and they said it was out of the 90-day warranty. (They were right, by 6 days.) I called Funai to have them fix it. It was still in the 1 year warranty. They finally picked up the TV in June. Wow, they were in a hurry. I got it back on July 31st. One month to the day on Aug 31st, it took another crap (same problem). Only this time, they really hurried and picked up the TV two and 1/2 months later on Nov 6. I got it back on Dec. 16. Guess what? It took a crap on March 27, 2009 (same problem). Never again!

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

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