Insignia TV Reviews

Our TV started showing a station and then goes off and starts cycle over and never goes to any other function.

People need to know that when the first flat screens came out and even now, I was told that they were only made to last a few years. Don't know if all that is true, but I have had my 47 inch INSIGNIA HDTV PLASMA for about 8 years now and I love it.. It has a better pic than my 50 inch Toshiba led... If your tv is on constantly I'm sure that the life of it is shorter, or if you play games on it...

Last night around 2 in the morning I hear a big pop - look up at TV no pic just sound. So I reset everything and still nothing. Now mind you this is a 4 yr old TV. What I wanted to know is this max life of your TV's??? If it is that's terrible... I understand in today's world you are making throw away TVs but come on 4 yrs.... really?

I purchased a 55" Insignia flat screen from Best Buy and the TV was in our living room and seldomly watched unless we had a group of people over. Not even a year after purchasing the TV, I was sitting watching the news and out of nowhere the screen went completely blue and no picture ever returned!!! It was a total disappointment. I work very hard and a lot of hrs to support my children on my own and I tried to go out a little to have a nice large screen TV and they are total junk 100%. And I feel that Best Buy and Insignia should have a class action suit for doing people so wrong and to stop them from doing it anymore.

NS-42L260A13 - After reading what happened to others with the Insignia TV, I do not think it's worth pursuing the issue. The set is only about 3 years old and it is already going to blue screen for long periods of time. I started getting longer and longer on the blue outs.

Insignia TV 37" model NS-L37Q-10A - I had this Insignia model for about 5 years when recently I had this very strong electrical burning smell in my bedroom where the TV is located, had to open windows to get the smell out. At first thought it was from surround sound speakers and unplugged it. Mind you the TV was still playing with no problems. A few days later the smell returned, much worst, this time I was in the room went over to the other electronics, DVD recorder, DirecTV genie; no smell from them, then went to the insignia, BINGO! I unplugged it immediately emailed the company about the issue. The only advice I got from them, don't plug the TV up again, which I already knew. A refund or any compensation, of course not! I think support was only concerned the TV did not catch on fire! Be careful of this brand, can be dangerous too!

I bought an Insignia TV/DVD combo (Mod.# NS-LTDVD26) about 5 years ago but never use the DVD player until today. Every time you try to put a DVD in it automatically ejects the DVD. I read the reviews and found out that it is a very common problem and that almost everyone has had this problem with their DVD player but they get the run around when they try to get it fixed. I know that the warranty has long expired and there is nothing I can do at this point. But I do believe there should have been a recall for this TV by Best Buy.

I bought an Insignia HDTV 32" in 2011. As of Feb 10, 2015, it stopped working. How did the brakes and tires on my car that i drive every day last longer than a TV that i did not use that often? I work full-time and i am a student. The TV was used on the weekend. I like Best Buys, but i will not be buying another Insignia product. My proof of purchase would be on my debit card, four years ago. Never thought this would happen.

Just bought a 48-inch Insignia TV on Febuary 6, 2015. Model number NS-48D510NA15 and it will shut down on its own and come right back on. This has happened at least 6 times and this thing is only a week old. After reading some of the reviews on here, I see this is a problem. Gonna call the geek squad tomorrow to find the issues. But at only a week old, I think I will just get my money back and get something else.

After reading reviews, I see the reason why my TV light comes on, but the screen stays black. Because it is junk! Got it last July, used it for 3 months. Put it back in the box when we moved and finally got it set up. Nothing on the screen. Warranty is expired. Will never buy this product again! Way to go Best Buy!

I purchased a 36 ins. Insignia TV in January 2014 from Future Shop. In September 2014, the TV went dead, there was no sound/picture. I spoke with Insignia staff but they could not help me, I was advised to return the TV to Future Shop for repairs. Future Shop could not confirm when the TV will be returned. I got back my TV six weeks later. That's not the end, after two weeks the TV stopped working again, this time there was sound, but no picture. Again, Future Shop sent the TV for repairs and it took another six weeks for me to get it back. To my surprise, the TV only lasted for four days on this occasion. So within a period of one year, I was without my TV for 3 months. Future Shop will not give me a loaner despite my pleas with the manager.

Previously I had stated that I had a problem with my 48" LED Insignia 1080p TV purchased from Best Buy Canada. Insignia Corp. Customer Service was very helpful and I am now satisfied. I connected the TV to another HD Cable Box and the info now shows 1080p. Insignia Corp. & Best Buy were both very helpful & prompt in suggesting solutions and resolving the problem. I am now a very happy customer enjoying great picture & sound on my Insignia TV.

We bought an insignia 24" tv in Nov 2013 used for 8 months, moved and plugged it in after 5 months of no use and it doesn't work only powers but doesn't turn on. I was told to bring it in and pay to have it looked at then repaired. So annoyed!! Feel ripped off.

We've had the television for 5 years and used it in the bedroom, so it wasn't used as much as the living room television. At first, there was a narrow discolored on the very far left. We thought that it might be the cable box until we changed cable boxes and it still kept happening. Now most of the time there is just black on the ENTIRE left half of the television. My wife says sometimes the black box goes away after the TV is "warmed up". That may be true when TV's had tubes, but shouldn't now. When you pay that much for a TV, it should last longer than five years! Especially since it wasn't used as much as our other one.

This month we will have one year that we purchased our tv at Best Buy and in less than a year this is the third time it needs to be repaired. I purchased the extra warranty but it's a lot of trouble. It turns on but you can't change the channel and it turns itself off.

Insignia 55 " tv ( NS-55L260A13) - I purchased this tv February 11, 2014. By October the tv would began just shutting itself down occasionally. Then would not come back on when the power button was pushed. Sometimes after unplugging it, then plugging it in again it would come back on. Other times it would not power up for hours, then days. I had purchased the geek squad 4 yr. Coverage plan. I called the geek squad about getting my tv repaired and after 3 times of them calling and canceling because they told me they could not get the parts needed to complete the repair, they urged me to exchange my tv for a new one. The guy said because they failed to get my repair completed within 30 days I was entitled to the exchange. He also told me they really had no idea when they might get the parts needed to fix my tv.

Our 47" Insignia, purchased in Feb. 2009, finally died today. It died because we failed to have it hooked up to a UPS, to protect it from power surges, and lo and behold, after an outage a couple of days ago it now refuses to power back on. It gives us the "PLEASE WAIT" message, but no picture, and the controls on the TV are unresponsive. It was a really nice TV to us for nearly 6 years, and my only regret is my stupidity in not investing in a good surge protector!

Got tv as a gift in December 2013. As of January 2015, it doesn't work. Turns on for one minute then shuts off. Called insignia and the warranty is expired so they send me a receipt via email that I can't use to replace shoddy product. That's their idea of customer service.

Purchased this 37" TV from Bestbuy in Oct 2013. In Dec 2014 the TV gets stuck trying to cut on. Red light blinks in cycles of 3... TV is 2 months out of warranty so Bestbuy will do nothing. I will NEVER buy anything from bestbuy again. And I will NEVER EVER EVER RECOMMEND an INSIGNIA TV to anyone. This was the biggest waste of my money, my time and my energy... Best buy is should be SHUNNED UPON for being in the business of selling TV's that will only last a year.

My tv keeps going back to small size on the screen.

Got this TV as a Xmas present on 12/13 to use in my bedroom. I rarely used it all year until I had to stay in bed after surgery but the TV wouldn't turn on, try to power cycle and sometimes it will come on. My partner took it back to the store and he was told that he was one month too late for the warranty and would have to pay to have it fixed but it would be better to buy a new one :-(. Sometimes it works if you plug it and unplug multiple times but due to my surgery I can't get off bed to do that every time I want to watch TV. Very disappointed with Best Buy by not standing behind their product. TV’s are not supposed to be disposable.

Bought a 40 " on Nov. 11/2014 - was very happy with my purchase until yesterday. I can no longer get 'normal' mode, zoom, cinema, wide works fine. Waiting for service.

After reading all the horror stories about the INSIGNIA TV's it certainly makes a lot of sense as to why I found a 42" TV in the hallway on my floor where I live! I cleaned it up, plugged it in and all I can see is a "blue screen". So sorry to have read about all of your losses!

Bought a 39" Insignia TV in August for a Christmas present for an elderly relative. Opened original box after Christmas, tried to install, screen was cracked - not by me. I followed instructions carefully for putting on the stand, etc. Called Best Buy to exchange, they said since it was purchased in August, I had to send it back to Insignia for repair and they would probably charge for a cracked screen. I told them it was cracked out of the box. They didn't care, just stated their policy. Went to Best Buy store to plead for a reasonable resolution, they refused to budge. I will never buy anything again from Best Buy, nor will my wife and kids, and I will relate this experience to as many friends and co-workers as possible. Amazing they would lose multiple customers for life for the relatively low cost of the TV.

OK, I read all the bad reviews and had to add mine since my experience is so different. I have owned 4 Insignias, starting with 55" plasma bought in 2007. I also have a 19" (2010), 49" (2013) and 39" (2014). All made by Samsung as a private label for Insignia/Best Buy. I have had zero trouble with any of them and considering how much cheaper they are compared to "name brands", I couldn't be happier. All 4 came from the Valdosta, Ga. BB and 3 are LCD sets.

While watching the unit begins to buzz for several seconds every few minutes and about 1/4 of the time, the input switches to dvd and must be reset to HDM1 to continue to watch TV.

I have had this tv for less than 3 years. It was kept in an armoire and used sparingly. Out of the blue I tried to turn the tv on and the power light would just blink continuously. So, I tried power cycling and then started searching for similar problems online. Here I am commenting on this product purchased from Best Buy. It is so sad that we purchase products to have them crap out just after the warranty. From research, people have spent 300-500 for repairs which is about as much as we spent on the POS. I will never purchase an Insignia product as long as I live. The TV model is NS-37L760A12.

The 42" Insignia television purchased from Best Buy on 8-10-14 began experiencing problems after 3 months. It flashed on/off like a strobe light - not good for someone with migraines or when the best part of the program occurred. Covered under manufacturer warranty BB/GS would send their contracted repairs. After waiting all day for repair visit BB/GS determined replacement would be more cost effective - they would furnish authorization #. One week later, BB/GS now reverses decision & states repairs will be done - process starts all over again after waiting, calling, on hold such poor service & product performance!

Purchased TV 9/26/14 and it started giving me problems flashing and buzzing in less than 30 days. We went to Best Buy. They said because we did not purchase an extended warranty it was not covered. Well today 12/2/2014 it went out. Model: NS-24D510NA15 SKU: 2799034, Customer service pin **.

I purchased an Insignia 42" for my father in law 2 years and 3 months ago. I got it back, plugged in the cable and all was fine for 2 months - then, the power went south and all I got was a red light. Same experience as many before me; new power card, no dice. New main board, no dice. To charge $500 for a machine only good for 2 and a half years is the greatest display of anti-social behavior since Harry S. dropped the big one, and Best Buy should count on a very special seat in the 7th Circle of Hell for this affront to consumers. Buy this ridiculous set and be prepared to recite dialog from "Deliverance." That's just my opinion, of course. I could be wrong. I've only been buying televisions for around 37 years.

I purchased the ultrabook charger from Best Buys Sept 2014 and plugged it into my 1 month old Lenovo Laptop. It completely fried the computer. A strong smell of burning wires was coming from it. Best buys did nothing and just told me to call insignia. Insignia gave me a case # and said they would contact me within 12 working days. Wow! What great customer service. In the meantime, I was forced to buy an new computer as I need for my business. Let's just say that I am very displeased with Best buys and insignia.

Not long after purchase my Insignia TV started to randomly shut down for several seconds then come back on. Then after less than 3 years the picture would not come on at all. JUNK!!!!! I certainly will never buy another one!

My nephew got one for Easter and was wondering if there have been any reports of them catching on fire? He had it plugged in the living room and was on the top of another tv because they were moving. So while they were taking a break they plugged it in to watch and later the next night while they were sleeping my sister said it was on fire and she tried to unplug it and it just went faster in the flames.

42" Insignia LCD TV NS-L42Q-10A - We purchased this TV new about 3 years ago and set it up in our guest room. This TV has less than 5 total viewing hours on it. This TV has less time on it than it takes to watch a football game. Recently, we decided to relocate the TV to the living room and I purchased and installed a wall hanger for the TV. Without testing, I simply moved the TV from one wall to another. After the move I tried to turn the TV on but got nothing. Only the red led flashes about every three seconds.

I purchased a Insignia model NS-39L240A13 from Best Buy in August 2012. I put the TV in spare bedroom so I never watch it. Doesn't want to come on. WASTE of money and time. No more Best Buy for me and never anything of Insignia brand. Look at the number of complaints of people getting maybe two years of use from this shoddy product. Shame on them! Stealing my money and time and filling up the landfills with TV which only work for a year or two.

My TV likes to shut off quite frequently at exactly 58 minutes past the hour and when I stop on certain channels, they won't appear unless I go past that channel and then back up to it. When the TV shuts off like I said it can't be turned on immediately, you generally have to wait about 20-30 seconds to get it to come on and stay on.

Just after warranty expired, all 3 HDMI inputs went out. Tried swapping cables and blu-ray player, none worked. Used same blu-ray player and cable in another tv and it worked fine.

I bought a 55" Insignia TV from Best Buy 17 months ago. It comes with a 1 yr warranty for around $800. That barely covered it. After 17 months the TV won't turn on. The red light flashes in series of three and dies. I have to unplug then replug 20-30 times before it will turn on like a flickering fluorescent light with a bad baffle. I went to the store of purchase and was told it would cost me almost half what I paid to ship and give me an estimate before I even got it fixed and those labor and parts cost added on. I also have a 42" with combined DVD player which has had a disc stuck/inoperable for a year. That cost to repair was more than I paid.

I too purchased a 48 inch Insignia tv and it lasted less than 2 year. During that two years we had a multitude of problems like the ones mentioned here. We has to pitch it in the trash. Plain garbage! Never again will I buy anything Insignia! WOULD LOVE TO SEE A CLASS ACTION SUIT!

Bought a 55in model about 1yr 3 months ago. Now the TV will not stay on. Called the company and they said to unplug the cord, hold the power button for 2 min., then power on. Didn't work. Rep said cheaper to replace TV. Hello???

Soon as my Best Buy warranty ran out, my TV did too. I called best buy, all they could say was to call geek squad which in turn would charge me 150 bucks to just come out and diagnosis the problem. Call insignia and they say the same thing they can't cover it. So I spend over 500 bucks on a TV and just 2 years out I'm outta TV. I won't shop Best Buy nor will I purchase another insignia. Feeling like I just threw 500 dollars out of the window.

I purchased an Insignia LCD HDTV in August 2012 at Best Buy. The Geek Squad has worked on it twice and cannot get the power source to the television to work. I purchased the TV for about $700. Less than 3 years later, I told it’s not worth the cost of repair. Never again!

In April 2011, I was given a 40-in LCD Insignia TV as a 41-year retirement gift from the company I worked for. TV remained in box until I had it mounted on my bedroom wall in 2013. October 15, 2014 I could only get a picture for a split second and then the screen would change colors from white, blue, green & black. I was told it was in a diagnostic color test mode. I tried holding the menu and enter button at the same time and then hit power but to no avail. TV has been stuck in test mode for three days. After reading the reviews on this TV I don't think I will waste money getting it repaired. I will buy another brand all together. I guess I'm pretty fortunate that I did not lose money on a purchase as it was a gift.

Purchased a Signia 39' Television back in March of 2014, this is October 10, 2014, the screen is black and no sound. The remote will not work when trying to turn on tv nor when I try to use the buttons on the tv. I called Insignia repair and nothing, I called best buy and they immediately sent me to the geek squad. What? Are you serious, I have not had this tv a year. I then researched this brand and saw many complaints against this product and I cannot believe Best Buy is continuing to sell this product even after all the complaints they have received. This is bad business and intentional fraud, selling faulty product!! I will take this to the magistrate office in Valdosta, GA. to file fraud charges against Best Buy and Insignia on Monday morning.

TV is only 1.5 years old. Very disappointed in longevity. With a year warranty I am stuck with an expensive repair. I am thinking I will replace than repair. Never again Best Buy.

Insignia Flat Screen 40" Model # NS-40D40SNA14 - Purchased TV in April 2014, I think. 3 days ago I turned on the TV and could not get the TV to power on for longer than 20-30 seconds. The brand name logo would come on and it would show the channel 5.2 but the rest of the screen would be black. After many times a picture finally came on the screen after during the initial logo stuff and it would last for about 30-60 seconds before it went off again. I tried to figure it out on my own for a couple of days but nothing worked. Unplugging it for a while, unplugging overnight. The remote did absolutely nothing to help and I could not even change the channels, increase or decrease the volume, nothing. I called the company and spoke with a male with a very strong accent. I had a very difficult time in understanding him. I had to ask him to repeat everything he said and then repeat it back to him. He had me go through some steps but it did not work and he told me to take it in to Best Buy with my receipt.

I purchased the tv in July 2013. On October 10, 2014, the screen basically died! The audio is fine, and all the other TVs in the house are fine (not Insignia!) so not a cable issue. I am told it is a bad LED screen and is out of warranty. I do not have $500 to throw around once a year for a product that should have lived longer than 1 year and 90 days! Bad product. And Insignia is not interested in working with this consumer to compromise some satisfactory resolution.

Bought 32" with dvd built in, 2009. Only had it a few months and sound went out. Best buy was horrible and no help, had to pay $200 to an outside repairman. Now this problem of turning off on its own started, then stopped. Now a few months ago it wouldn't come on. I had cable box replaced and that was when it happened the first time. If I unplugged and reset it would come on. I didn't use it much, husband was sick and dying so never home. It now has begun doing it regularly and I had cable out again 5 days ago. Thinking they did it, he shut it off to see the problem. Now 5 days later it won't come back on at all.

Bought a new 40" Insignia TV yesterday at 10:15 am. Took it home. Hooked it up to our DISH receiver. Greta black and white picture... rainbow flash of color across the top... no sound... Called Dish, verified everything was fine with that hookup. They gave me INSIGNIA's phone number... I could not understand him. He could not understand me... Sounded like he was going to charge me for his help. Wanted my name, address, phone, etc... I hung up and called Best Buy tech support. By 2:15 pm they told me I had a lemon and to take it back. Foolishly we got the same 40" Insignia TV. Brought it home... same, no color or sound. Spent the next 4 hours with DISH... who decided I needed to upgrade my receiver. This morning after less than 24 hours, I am taking TV 2 back for my money and going elsewhere.

I bought the Ns-l46x-10a Insignia TV from Best Buy in 2010 and after 3 yrs all the HDMI ports failed. The 'GeekSquad' says the motherboard has to be replaced for about $280. Checking online, I found that a VERY LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE had/have the same problem. I feel bad that I had recommended this TV to a number of friends after 1 year experience...

I bought a 55" Insignia LCD HDTV at Best Buy in November of 2012. It is now September 2014, and a TV repair company told me it would cost me $280 + $40 repair visit to get the Insignia fixed. I bought the TV from Best Buy for $599, and it makes me extremely angry that I purchased something for that much, and it only lasted one year and eleven months. I was told by the Best Buy representative that this TV was a good TV, and that Samsung is the manufacturer. That Best Buy had them make TV's for their own brand "Insignia". Well obviously I was fed a line, and unfortunately I bit in. My recommendation to anyone interested in reading this....never buy an Insignia brand of anything!!

TV which was on a new surge arrester outlet strip dropped dead after only being installed for only 17 months. Bought it for my Mother-in-law who generally only watches in the evening. Best Buy charged me 38.90 to look at it and now want $30.00 more than the entire LCD TV cost including tax to get a power board for it to see what else might be wrong. After consulting online now I find that a huge percentage of the people who have bought this model all now have busted TV's. Perhaps this model should have been recalled so I and others wouldn't suffer with inconvenience and loss. Class action lawsuit anywhere?

I bought my 36 inch Insignia TV from Best Buy in April 2012 for a little over $500. The TV worked fine until a tiny hot pixel began growing on the left side of my screen. Over the past weeks, the pixel has stretched all the way to the top of my screen and has ruined the picture completely. After calling the Insignia manufacturing company, they informed me the two year warranty had expired. They said that I'd need a new picture tube, which would cost $400. I am sure you can understand how frustrating this is. The TV is only 2 in a half years old and should not be falling apart. I will never purchase another Insignia TV ever again. I want to warn others so they don't make the same mistake as me.

I have had my 32-inch Insignia TV approximately 3 years. During the first two years, the TV stopped coming on several times. Each time, an Insignia technician came to my home to fix it. The TV would work for about four months, stop working again, and a technician would come to my home to repair it again. Now that the warranty that comes with the TV has expired, the TV has stopped working again. My options are to pay $200 to have the TV repaired or do without one until I can afford to buy a new NON-INSIGNIA TV. Neither option appeals to me. However, I will never put one penny towards another Insignia TV, so the second option is my only choice. Best Buy should be sued for misrepresenting to its customers that Insignia TVs work consistently (as do normal TVs) when the reality is that the Insignia brand only works sporadically.

I am an senior citizen living on a limited income. I purchased an Insignia TV from Best Buy 1 year and 3 months ago and it has gone dead! I will never walk in a Best Buy store again!

We bought the 42" Insignia a little over 2 years ago. Recently it has started shutting off by itself. You try turning it back on by the TV itself or the remote and it immediately turns off. It will click several times but will never come back on. Very disappointed in this. A $400 TV should last more than 2 years. Will never buy another Insignia.

I have had my Insignia TV for a little over a year now, maybe two. I am a college student who lives in an apartment, so I only really have my TV on to fall asleep to since I am always out. Last year, when I had first purchased the TV, everything was fine. But then the issues started happening slowly. If I had the TV off for a weekend, I would turn the power on and the first few minutes, the screen had lines running across the screen and the picture was blurry and fuzzy. The pictures would be smeared looking on the screen. After a few minutes, the picture would go back to normal.

Insignia tv ns-19e310na15 - I'm just upset that we purchased 2 tv's in the past two and a half weeks. Both tv's had the same issue. The tv stuck on a station and turned on and off. No other buttons worked. Frustrating to say the least. We have decided to never purchase this brand again. I don't expect any refund. I just want others to look at other options for a bedroom tv avoiding insignia.

I purchased an Insignia 24" LED TV about 3 years ago to use as a computer monitor when I played World of Warcraft. I wanted something larger and easier to see. I got the tv home and hooked it up immediately after work. Once set up I turned on WOW and the picture was amazing. I played WOW a lot and the tv still works extremely well. I have always purchased Insignia products and had a great experience. I'm sorry for the people who haven't but I will continue to buy them and Best Buy Geek Squad protection because it has never failed me once....

My son purchased a 42" Insignia TV for me before he died. The TV stopped working 2 years after he bought it. I called the company and was told the warranty had run out, and what it would cost to replace it I might as well buy another one. I feel cheated because it only lasted a few years.

Wish I had read about the problems with the Insignia TV before my purchase. Bought mine from BB & soon it started blinking w/ colored lines. I changed out cable box & all cords thinking that was the problem. Finally I took it to another house we own to try my DirectTv hookup to confirm it wasn't the cable. The TV is still blinking & so annoying I'm ready to pitch it out the door. No more Insignia TV's for this family!!

After 9 mos., TV had burning smell. Unplugged it before it could catch fire and took it to Best Buy for repair. We had purchased the extended warranty. Supposedly, you receive better service if you purchased their warranty. Wrong. We were told the repair would be completed in 2 weeks. 2 1/2 weeks later, we contacted Best Buy to find out the status and they didn't know where it was. They kept saying it was in transit. Their system showed it in transit for the entire 2 1/2 weeks. They kept transferring us between the Geek Squad and the store. When we finally tracked it down, we ask why it had taken so long for it to be shipped to the repair location. We were told they were out of bubble wrap. Really?? When we ask when it would be completed, they didn't know. We were told to check back in another week. We received very poor customer service from Best Buy and we will never again buy anything from Best Buy!!

I purchased an Insignia 55-inch tv from Best Buy on 4/7/13... A couple of weeks ago the tv started turning off on its own and wouldn't come back on for about 20-30 minutes. It doesn't stay on for more than 2-3 minutes and it continues to do the same thing. I've called Best Buy and Insignia Manufactures, but have been told there is nothing they can do because it has exceeded the 1-year limit by 3 months. A TV should last more than 1 year and three months. I was told that the best thing I could do is purchase a new tv because the price to pay to fix it isn't worth it. Are you serious? Who has money to buy a new tv every year? Surely they would have a recall on this product... ANGRY CUSTOMER. Never will I buy another Insignia and will probably not buy another tv from Best Buy.

Well I went and purchased TV because no one wants to sell the Older TVs that last for ten years. I cannot find any older box Tube TV anywhere. They Stopped selling them. Now I know why. They want me to purchase a ** TV every year... Anyway my Insignia TV, My very 1st digital flat screen crap, is doing the same thing everyone else is doing. Watching TV for a hour or Less and the screen goes BLACK. The on light is still on. I have learned I have to turn the TV off and then Back on for it to work another hour or so. I also Have to press the On and off button like ten times for the TV to turn On or off. I am unemployed and cannot afford another TV and I am not getting any help either. Not a happy TV person. Bring back the older heavy tube TVs. I bought mine on sale.

The TV would not turn on after using it for over a month. It just quit working. I called Insignia and they basically told me I can pay to have it fixed for close to $200. They have the worst customer service I have ever dealt with. They actually told me to go ahead and complain but they won't help. Not worth the money or the hassle to buy this brand.

Don't know why there's so many negative comments on these flat screen TV's. We had gotten a 32-in in 2009 and it's still working great 5 years later.

Bought insignia portable DVD player. Died less than a year later. Sucks. Plus, picture wasn't very good on 7 inch screen or when hooked to full size TV. Stay away.

The worst TV I ever bought in my life. I got my Dad one and me one. Well the sound went on me within 4 months and rigged it up so I could get sound. Then the picture went out within the next 3 months. This all happened before a year was up. My Dad's did the same thing. The sound went first and then the picture. So two Insignia TV out before the year was up. I was told that I had to ship it to the company to get it fixed. Needless to say, they are sitting in a back room. I figured that it's probably not worth the money to pay for shipping the pieces of crap. I will never buy anything with Insignia on it. They were bought at Best Buy in Burlington, NC. I strongly advise anyone from buying Insignia Products. Thank you.

I got a insignia tv as a graduation present. Seemed pretty great at the time. I like to play a lot of video games preferably xbox 360. I have turtle beach x11 headset for it and when I plug them into the audio ports (red and white plugs on the back of tv), they don't work at all. I don't watch tv that much so this tv is pretty much useless to me.

I will never buy an Insignia TV again. Shuts off all the time on its own. Also, I bought one with the DVD built into it. Pretty much since buying the thing the DVDs get stuck in there and don't play. I didn't notice this for a few months after purchase though until I went to play a DVD. Also most of the time it will not even let me put a DVD in it. When it finally goes in it makes this horrible noise like it is ruining the DVD and then I cannot get it to eject. When DVDs get stuck in there without playing I have to get another DVD out and carefully tap the inside to try to get the other one to come out. I called Best Buy when I first noticed this, probably 4-6 months after purchasing and they told me it basically was not their problem and that I could not bring it into the store, that I would have to ship it off to the company myself to get it fixed. I didn't want repairs on a new TV. I wanted a new one all together. Best Buy should of exchanged this and dealt with Insignia themselves. Overall horrible product!

Bought this little TV on sale to put into the bedroom. Set up was more complicated than other TVs. Everything worked for 2 months. Lost wireless and could not re-establish after that. 2 years later, the remote stopped communicating and you cannot do anything with the set without the remote. Did not need new batteries but finally changed them anyway... still not working. Really junky set ... Stick with any other electronic manufacturer but this one.

T.V. Powers on and off all on its own. Called the company, and nothing can be done they tell me, IT'S ONLY 17 MONTHS old!!!! This is really bad customer service... I am going to make it my mission to be inside the stores who have these TV's and tell people that are looking at this brand to NOT BUY!!!! I will go everyday and if it gets one person a day to not buy Insignia, then I have succeeded in my mission to get the company to suffer... I am retired and It will be easy for me to be at the stores, I will move around and be there when someone even blinks at the Insignia brand.

My daughter saved her $ to buy a 42 inch Insignia LCD Flat screen tv from Best BUY in November 2012... Today when she turned it on, the audio wouldn't work, turned it off and back on, audio worked but quickly sounded like aliens, next the images were garbled and blurred with lines. Next the vent in back of TV started SMOKING! Are you kidding me? I quickly looked up reviews for this brand and wish I would have prior to her purchase. Of course its only a year warranty. Never again and we will warn everyone not to purchase this.

Purchased an insignia 42" TV for our second home in February 2013. It is not used much and now it turns on and after 5 minutes or so the screen goes black. Sound but no picture. This is not used but on weekends and not every one as we go weeks without going there. Of course it quit after warranty was. Never again!

When I change channels the screen sometimes goes black and won't come back on until I change the channel up or down one channel and then back to the channel I was on. Doesn't do it all the time....very annoying.

I bought a Insignia TV 48'' on 13/04/21. I plug it the same day and discover funky line on the panel (same line that when you drop your cell phone and broke the screen). I return it to the store (Future Shop at March Central in Montreal). The store exchanges it for a new one. On the same day, I plug my second Insignia TV 48'' and it have funky line again! I return it again to the store. No one was really surprise at the Future Shop. I plug the third one myself (really bad customer service) directly at the store to make sure it work properly. It work, but the quality is what you paid for. I think it's part of their business plan to sell you something at any price. That way, you cannot have your money back and you're stuck to spend it there on other product. Similar think happened to me with a LG TV last year at Best Buy. The seller told me afterward he knew the LG TV had a 93% return because of electronic problem.

I bought an Insignia 65-in TV 8/30/13. In March, the TV went out. Took a month to get repaired. The next day after the repair, the TV went out again. Called Best Buy for a replacement. They informed me that they must try to repair it again and will not exchange it.

On 9/28/12, I purchased a 55 inch Insignia flat screen. It worked beautifully for 16 months, then horizontal lines started to appear and got worse whenever you hit the volume button on the remote. I called Insignia and Best Buy, only to be basically told "tough luck"! Still in shock over what horrible customer service we were receiving, we decided to wait it out to see if it would remedy itself, which instead of remedying itself it got worse now with squiggly green lines all over the place. So I called Best Buy again and was once again basically told "sucks to be you"! Over the last 17 years, I have dropped a small fortune in Best Buy, purchasing everything from appliances to computers, and THIS is how they treat good and loyal customers? Guess what??? This good and loyal customer will not only never buy another Insignia product, but will NEVER set foot in another Best Buy and am telling everyone I know not to do the same!

I purchased Insignia 42in 11/30/14.. It went dark with no picture on 3/12/14. The Insignia tech and Best Buy's suggestion, bring it to the Geek Squad. Of course pay $150 for diagnosis and additional cost for parts and labor. Not one person I spoke to had any regard for me or my lame TV. So I can get it repaired or throw it on the "I wasted my $$$$$ big time" heap. Why have an attorney contact me??? Is there a class action suit or something???

In late December, I purchased an Insignia 32" television for my daughter's room, from Best Buy. Just a little more than 2 months later, it just shut off right in the middle of watching a show and it would not power back on. I brought the television to Best Buy, as the Warranty instructed. After plugging the set in and verifying that it had no power, the associate informed me that it would have to be sent out for service and that it would take 2 weeks before I'd get it back.

I purchased Insignia TV on 11/11/12. It went out on 02/27/13, was only covered under warranty for 1 year. What a joke.

I bought an Insignia TV about 2 years ago at Best Buy for approx $450.00 and it is broken already and they refuse to talk to me about fixing it or replacing it. I bought a Sony TV about 10 years ago and it is till working. That Insignia Company and Best Buy should be put out of business for producing and selling such bad quality merchandise. The responses that I have read are 99% in favor of putting both companies out of business.

I bought a large (48"-50" I don't recall) Insignia TV on a special sale for real cheap and it got a thin black line up the side of it after only 10 months. I called the store where I bought it in Destin, FL, and they gave me the number of a repairmen to call to come out to my house, at my convenience. He came out and wrote up a paper. We took that paper and the broken TV to the store and got a new one. Easy peasy. I don't know why all the people are complaining. They stand behind their product. You get what you pay for. My two cents.

Sometimes when watching TV via cable hook-up, my sound will go out completely, or sputter, regardless what channel, I'm watching. I have called Cablevision about it, and they have no clue what it could be, except the TV. I replaced the HDMI cord with a better one... still same problem. I even removed the HDMI, and hooked my TV directly to the cable box via the coax cord. Same problem persists. I have an old TV, and hooked it up for a week, without any audio problem. I plan to replace my TV with a Samsung, Sony, or other top brand name set. I'm tired. I can't record because I'm afraid the sound won't be there in the recording. Insignia makes a bad TV, and I wouldn't recommend anyone buy one.

I purchased my Insignia 46" LCD TV in August 2012; in the middle of December 2013, a vertical line developed on the TV screen. I contacted Insignia customer service with my problem and I have to say that the customer service reps that I communicated with were very nice. However. My television has a one-year warranty and I didn't purchase the Geek Squad extended warranty. Because my warranty ran out, I was told that I'm out of luck. The panel is defective and a replacement panel is $420. A new TV is $450. When I asked what the life expectancy of my TV should be, I was told 6-7 years - yet my panel went defective in 16 months, but they can't help me. I will never buy Insignia again.

My father gave me an Insignia 26" NS-LCD-26F TV, HDMI compatible, that stopped working a couple of weeks ago. It's not an old one and I have no idea why it quit. It just shut down with no warning... no picture, no sound, no power or standby lights. I tried a new power cord and different outlet to no avail. When it did work, it had a beautiful picture and great sound. I am very upset, to say the least. What is with the Insignia TV? I have heard other similar complaints about Insignia, so why isn't that company doing anything? I don't understand how this TV could just stop with no warning at all, right in the middle of a program I was watching. I won't ever buy an Insignia TV.

I purchased two 50 inch insignia tv's in August. Got home and took the first one out of the box. Struggled for an hour trying to get the screws to fit into the stand. Eventually went to Home Depot and bought washers to get a tight fit as I had looked up reviews on line stating the same issue. Finally got the stand together and attached it to the tv. Got the tv plugged in and turned on to find a line down the middle of the screen and no picture. Put that one back in the box. Took the 2nd one out and had the same struggle with the stand. However, this tv actually had a picture and worked fine. I boxed the damaged one up and took back to Best Buy to exchange.

I bought a 42" Insignia TV in 2007, did not use for the first 5 years. I was a charter bus driver and would be gone for a week at a time. Retired in 2011 and started to stay home and watch TV. This one has gray black streaks running from the top of TV to the bottom of TV. It now has 4 big streaks and Best Buy tells me the picture is going out. Is it worth repairing or buy another product? No more Insignia for me!

I have the same problem with the 42" Insignia that I purchased from Best Buy. When we turn on the TV, we get a fuzzy off-color picture. I have tried plugging and unplugging, change the picture settings and color warmth, turning the TV on and off multiple times, turning the TV off for a few hours and trying again... Nothing works. What a huge waste of (more than) several hundred dollars.

I have the 32" Insignia TV/DVD combo and after 6 years of use, the power no longer turns on. I have unplugged and replugged into different outlets and the power light comes on but if you press the power button, the light goes off and the TV doesn't turn on. I see on here lots of people with this issue and was wondering if anyone got it fixed and if so what was fixed and price range? Or is it not fixable and I should invest money into another TV? It is kind of crappy that only after 6 years technology doesn't work anymore. I mean come on, most of us had the old TVs that we all grew up with and they lasted forever and the day.

As I'm researching it appears this is a known issue of the Insignia LCD 32 inch TV that the TV unit will not power on thus there should have been a recall or at least Insignia should take responsibility for the repair. This however isn't the first issue I've had with this model. Previously the picture would yellow out in a split screen. I purchased the TV because the rep mentioned it was a Best Buy product and that they stood by their products. I hope he's right because I plan on contacting them to handle this repair. And would hate to be disappointed and have to now switch to HHGregg for all my electronic needs.

I had bought TV from Fort Myers, Best Buy in February. They had seen the TV in the store and said, "I see it is under the 1-year warranty but without receipt, we won't fix it." I got the same response from Insignia. Just because no receipt, no fix but it was confirmed that it was under mfg. warranty by both. I looked and did find the receipt in two weeks. Both fought me and then got 3rd party to schedule to look at it. They scheduled a repair 4 days later. Guess what, they never showed. 8 hours of no pay by my wife.

Save your money. I purchased an Insignia TV from Best Buy. Big mistake! Had this TV less than a year and it went out. Called for repair because it was still under warranty. I was on hold for hours at a time for five days and still no repair. Do yourself a huge favor and don't buy Insignia products.

I purchased a 50" Insignia TV on Sept 7, 2013 from an electronics retailer for $448.00 thinking that Insignia was a good brand and the price was a good deal. As soon as I plugged it in, the screen came up half blue and the other half normal. After about an hour, the screen works fine until the next day when I first turn it on. I have since read only poor reviews for this brand. Please do your self a favor and research the brands. It would have saved me a headache.

Poor manufacturer & service warranty is bias. Warranty does not exist. Not worth the trouble or time. Insignia brand TV is sold as is. "You get what you paid for." As what their reps would say.

Purchased an Insignia 55inch TV 2.5 years ago. A vertical line has appeared through the middle of the screen. (A single vertical line of pixels.) It's sensitive to light. Dark colors appears red, and light colors, the line appears black. Insignia (Best Buy) will not do anything at all to fix it. It's 5 months out of warranty. Took it to a Television repair shop. They can't do anything to fix it. It's not a part in the TV, it's on the display itself, so to fix it would cost just as much as the TV was.

I purchased a 39 inch Insignia TV 9 months ago to replace a 32 inch LG just to have a bigger screen for my master bedroom. Have been nothing but pleased with the quality of the picture, it is better than my Name Brand 55 inch in the living room. The salesman actually warned me that there are some complaints about the volume and recommended adding a set of external speakers. No need, the volume works just fine. Love this TV, I must have got one from a good quality batch. Would buy again at this point!

I bought an Insignia TV--flat screen--32 inch at Best Buy 2 to 3 years ago. It has been nothing but trouble since I bought it. I have called and talked to them--Insignia customer service--as if that did any good. There are SOOO many things I could say about this TV--I had better NOT!! Oh yes--the one thing I will say is the NEW problem that has happened for at least 2 months, if not more now, is the volume, a lot of times, sounds like I have it all the way up. It scares the crap out of me!! So I have to turn the TV off and back on again in order to get it down where it should be. The picture is crappy--the picture freezes--these are just a couple of the things that I have had with this TV pretty much since I bought it. I will NEVER buy another Insignia TV EVER AGAIN!!

Had sales slip in my wallet. After many months all printing wore off. Called Best Buy where I bought it. Since there is no warranty card to send in they say there is a good faith warranty. It’s for two and a half years. Since they can't retrieve the sales receipt, you’re S.O.L. I actually believe they delete them from their records. In talking to a Geek, they said they had a lot bad screens. Stopped in their store yesterday, didn't see any Insignias. Mmmmmm.

I bought a 55-inch Insignia TV from Best Buy in 2011. In Nov. 2012, the TV started shutting off. It could be unplugged then would start back up. This went on for a week, then I called TV repair to come look at it. They hauled it away and have not fixed it to this day of July 8, 2013 due to not being able to find the parts here or overseas. Why would a company do this to so many people as I read the reviews. I do feel better that it’s not just me and the TV repair is not ripping me off. Each week, I have called them and they state they are still looking for the part. Please help.

I purchased my 42" Insignia LCD TV in March 2010 from Best Buy. At that time, it came highly rated by Consumer Reports. Three days ago, the picture failed, but I do have sound. This happened once before, and I waited a few hours and it came back. It is pretty sad when an item that cost several hundred dollars can only last three years. I will never buy another product from this company.

I bought a 32-inch Insignia TV, brand new, from the store. Two or three months later, the volume was going up and down by itself. Now I cannot watch TV. Very annoying. I will never purchase Insignia again.

Insignia 39 inch Model NS39D240A13 - This is the worst experience I have ever had with a TV and Best Buy. Bought this TV on Black Friday. Plugged it in when I received it. Worked great until March. Screen started rotating through various colors. Would not do anything else. Took it back to Best Buy. They sent it off, and when we got it back, they said they did a factory restore on it. Worked for about six more weeks with no issues. Then the same thing happened again. Took it back to Best Buy, and they would not switch it out for another one (since we did not get their warranty). So we have shipped it off again. Called Insignia, and they were no help. They pretty much said that all they could do was keep fixing it. That is great, but what happens when the manufacturer warranty runs out??? If you want a good TV and a company that will stand behind their product, THIS TV is not it.

I purchased two Insignia 32 inch televisions which I had just over 2 years. One just stopped coming on. The picture is fading and I have no sound on the other. I will NEVER purchase another Insignia!

I bought a 42-inch Insignia TV. 2 years later I have sound, but no picture. If you let it stay off for a week or two, it will show picture for about an hour and back out it goes. This is the worst electronic item I've ever purchased. I will never in life purchase another one with that name brand no matter the cost.

After 13 months, just after the warranty expires, the power no longer turns on. I had not read the reviews contained herein, which clearly reveals a similar problem with Insignia TVs and no response from the manufacturer or Best Buy. Don’t buy this TV (mine was a 36-inch HDTV). A very poor product with terrible customer service, it is going to cost $180 to fix.

So I bought two Insignia 32'' flat screens on price impulse: one back in 2007 for $600 and the other in 2009 for $350. I've had these unopened televisions sitting safely in my storage until early last year (2012). I took out the one I bought first in 2007 that cost more and please note that I'm very type A about my things because I'm not rich and I don't have an everything-is-disposable attitude, so when I spend my hard-earned money on specific products, I expect them to last. I take good care of everything I have and I'm all about quality. Well 9 months later, after enjoying my Insignia TV, the picture becomes distorted with what I'm calling black snow (tiny black speckles) and barely watchable if you're desperate or lazy.

Sales rep sold us the Insignia 32” LCD TV/DVD combo and said there was a three year warranty; 2 years with the manufacturer and 1 year with Best Buy because it was their in-house brand. So to save $100, we went with that brand because it was less money and better warranty than the Sony next to it. 2 years and a few months later, the DVD player, which we used less than 10 times, quit working. I took it to the store and they said that they could not do anything for me since warranty was up. It would cost me $32.00 for shipping and minimum of $55.00 for someone to look at it, plus the parts and labor. It’s a waste of money to purchase Insignia TV.

Within 90 days of purchase, the monitor failed. It developed a 1/4" checker board line down the middle of the screen. When I called, they stated that they do not service their products. Return to the store: Best Buy for any repairs. Best Buy can't repair it, so they send it out for up to 5 weeks for repair, if you are lucky. This Insignia is an inferior product, with the poorest quality of any TV on the market today. Don't waste your money and time buying anything from this company, as all you will get is disappointment.

I bought a Insignia 32" Flat Screen in 2006 along with a 4 year maintenance extended warranty. I was extremely glad that I did buy the warranty due to the repairs I had to have done since the day I brought it home. First, after unpacking and installing, it would not work. I called Insignia and they told Best Buy to exchange it for another. I was told they did not have anymore like the one I bought and had to give me a store model. After returning home and installing this one, it worked fine for about 8 months, then the video went. The Geek Squad came out and replaced a part.

I purchased a 32 inches HDTV from our local St. George, Utah Best Buy Store. I purchased it on "Black Friday" the biggest shopping day of the year after Thanksgiving. I shop locally to support the businesses in my community. I have been a regular customer of Best Buy since they opened their doors. The brand name of the television I purchased with cash money is an "Insignia."

The TV began having power supply problems and turns itself on and off unless left unplugged. I wasn't able to get a satisfactory response from either Best Buy or Insignia techs. They recalled the 26 inch TV models due to power supply problems.The 19 inch models should also be recalled. It lasted less than 3 years. After reading about the 26 inch model recall, I am afraid a fire may break out if I forget to unplug the TV.

I have a 32-inch Insignia LCD TV and it is really bad. I am very upset that Best Buy knows of the problem and will not help me out in anyway. They want to charge me to look at it. A month or so out of warranty, the TV will not turn on. Also, I have read a lot of problems with this, and have spent $10k with them in three years. I will not go back and spend another penny. Bad business here on a two-year old TV which I paid $600 for. I could have got one from Walmart that can last that long and probably cheaper. I am very disappointed with the TV and with the bad customer service they have shown me for something that is already a known problem!

I bought a 26" Insignia TV. When it quit working, we had it repaired. The power supply went bad and we found out that there was a recall. We called them and Best Buy both told me that since I already had it fixed, that it was my problem now. Now, the TV has quit working again. I will now throw it in the garbage so nobody gets hurt from this piece of junk. I will never buy an Insignia TV or any TV from Best Buy.

1 month out of warranty my Insignia IS-LCDTV32 starts to have power on issues that have been documented several times on various internet forums. I asked Best Buy if they would replace the problem as I can't turn my TV on and they say sorry, out of warranty, call a repair man. Best Buy knowing there was an issue with these TVs should of issued a recall and notified me this was going to happen. I am beyond upset and let them know I would look to file suit against them.
