Magnavox TV Reviews

We bought a 48" Magnavox TV. It worked for approximately one year, just went out of warranty and Phillips refused to refer or listen to my issues. The TV will not turn on; instead, the green power light goes out and a blinking red light appears. After reading over 500 consumer complaints with the same problem on virtually all of their Plasma TV products, this is a material failure that the company is aware of but refuses to correct the problem with a recall.

My family purchased a 42-inch model 42mf237E/32 flat Magnavox in 11-07 from Target store. The TV kept turning off and on by itself. So I took it back to Target. They gave me a new one; it also turned off and on by itself, so I called Magnavox and after they sent a repairman three or four times, they finally sent a different TV to me. As it turned out, it was reconditioned, not new and it only had a three month-warranty cutting time off my one year I got with the new one. Anyway, my daughter and I were watching TV and the screen cracked and it looked like the TV is melting inside. So, I unplugged it and called Magnavox and they said "too bad, so sad." Needless to say, I am less than satisfied after $950 to watch TV for 2 years. Something should be done and if it's a law action, I would gladly partake. Magnavox told me the screen could not break unless someone hit it, which is not the case. No one touched it and it broke.

32" tube-type Magnavox TV purchased by an elderly friend won't turn on after only 6 months of use. Purchased several years ago and it sits in the closet now in case he finds someone to fix it for free. Magnavox service tech affiliate won't work on it for warranty nor reasonable charge. He is out a bunch of money for this piece of junk and now needs to pay to recycle it. He can't afford to have it fixed.

We purchased a Magnavox 42 inch plasma TV from Home Depot in December of 2007. The picture started blacking out in August of 2008. By October, it would no longer show a picture at all. We had it repaired under the manufacturer's warranty. Eleven months later, we have the same problem and the only recommendation that we get from Magnavox is to replace the TV at our expense. The TV is less than 2 years old with a known common failure and should be recalled by Magnavox or at least the cost of repairs should be covered. These TV's are very expensive and in researching this issue, I have found that it is a very common problem with all Magnavox plasma TV's. I would like to see someone go after Magnavox and force a recall or payment for repairs.

I bought 42" Magnavox LCD in Feb. 2007. We have been having problems with the sound going away for a few months, off and back on and it resets itself. However, lately, the picture has been flashing to snow and sometimes snow/pink and then it flashes back to the picture. Also when the set is cold, you turn it on and it goes translucent pink. You can see the picture but it's shaded pink. Off and back on, and it's fixed. I bought it at Home Depot right after X'mas in 2007. I did not buy the extended warranty and I'm glad I didn't. From the looks of the complaints, I did the right thing but I'm out $1100 when it blows.

I purchased a Magnavox television. I only had the television for 5 months. The television no longer has a picture and only have sounds. I could not get any help from Magnavox to resolve this issue. I have lost $450.00.

Our LCD TV is out of warranty but not very old and it is having the same issues as many others! First, the sound goes out and then the TV fails to respond to any commands from the remote or manual buttons. I have to actually unplug it for it to turn off. I have no recourse other than to buy a new TV. I am not going to spend over $300 for a repair on a crappy TV! The money I spent on the TV was wasted and now I need to spend more for a new one. If the company knew about the problem, they engaged in deceptive practices. If the stores knew that the TV's were defective but kept selling them, I think they should have some degree of culpability.

My husband purchased a Magnavox HDTV, model 19MD357B/37, around two years ago. Back in June, right when the TV signals went digital, the TV started making a pop sound then cutting out for a second, and then returned to normal. Now it makes all kinds of weird noises. At times the screen goes green and static and then cuts off. Sometimes there is sound and sometimes there is not. Sometimes it gets stuck on either with a picture and no sound or with a completely black screen. When it does that, the only thing you can do is unplug the TV and start over. In the past, once the TV warmed up, I could still watch the TV without issues. Now I can't watch it at all. When I checked before, the DVD player seemed to work better but now I'm afraid the DVD will get stuck in the TV so I don't know how the player is working.

I purchased a Magnavox LCD TV (mod # 37mf337b/37). After 142 days, when I would turn it on, the green light would come on, but no picture although sound worked. If I turn it off and turn it back on, usually it will come on sometimes. I have to do this multiple times. The TV was purchased 12/17/07. Customer service refused to give me any information because it was out of warranty. After a lot of research and some troubleshooting, I have determined that the power board is bad (i.e., the power board has a bad capacitor). The board itself I have found for sale from $130 to $265 without the cost of labor. I was very surprised the customer service would refuse to offer me any help at all or would not admit to the countless number of other customers who have had similar problems.

Two and a half years ago, I bought a 37-inch Magnavox LCD HDTV flat screen TV. The screen kept going black almost immediately after I purchased it and I thought it was a problem with the cable company. However, after several visits from the cable company, it turns out that it is a problem with the TV. The TV now does not work at all. The little green power light flashes when turned on. The light initially flashed for about fifteen minutes before the TV turned on, and gradually took longer and longer to turn on until the TV would no longer turn on at all. I have read many complaints about this same TV and believe that there should be a recall on this. Any news of a recall?

I have a Magnavox 50" plasma and had the blinking light episode, then did an upgrade of the software. It worked for 2 days. I had to unplug and replug about 10 times to work, now not at all. I hate Magnavox.

This TV was purchased in spring of 2007. After reviewing your forum, I see that there are a lot of people with same exact problem. The TV is now blinking red lights. Philips said it is our problem. If there is this many people with the same problem, shouldn't this constitute a recall? This TV was a lot of many, and this is not the way it is supposed to be.

I bought a 37" LCD TV in December 2007. In February 2008, the screen went black and I called Magnavox to get it fixed. They sent me to a repair shop and it was fixed. But I had to pay for the labor. In October 2008, the same thing happened. I was told by Magnavox that the parts only had a 90-day warranty. I again took the TV in for repair and the owner ran the parts under warranty, but I again had to pay for the labor. In August 2008, it has again gone black. While talking to Magnavox, they told me that there was nothing they could do for me since it was past the one-year warranty. I told them that the first 2 repairs were while the unit was under warranty and there is a defect that should be recalled. All they could tell me was, "sorry, we can't help you."

We purchased a Magnavox 42MF230A/37 a couple of years ago. The beginning of this year, we started getting a color band on top and we would turn the TV off for a couple of minutes and it would be okay for awhile. We noticed this more frequently, and then after a while, the screen went blank; we would have sound but no picture. We took it to a reputable repair shop, and they said that they are unable to get parts. I called Customer Service, and all they gave me was an address for me to send a written complaint but it is out of warranty (this was for their quality control). We have several TVs in our home (Some are 15 years old.), and we have never had to have them repaired. All I want is for Magnavox to step up to the plate and address all of the complaints that I am now seeing on the internet.

In March 2006, we purchased a Magnavox 50" DLP (model 50ML8105D/17) TV from Best Buy for $1,400.00. We did not purchase the extended warranty program as we also own another five Magnavox sets we have purchased throughout the years with no issues. Two weeks ago, we were watching the set and a loud humming noise began and then the picture went to black and white. We turned the set off and then back on after approximately five minutes. The sound and picture symptoms were the same. The next day, I called Best Buy for service and was told the soonest someone could possibly get here was three weeks or longer, and was asked if I wanted to schedule. I declined and called an independent service representative. He came to the house and looked at the set and advised it was the color wheel, which is a part of the light engine. However, the wheel was not available and that the best course of action should we wish to pursue repair was the purchase of the light engine complete.

We purchased a 50" Magnavox plasma TV a little over 3 years ago, and we now have the dreaded flashing red light. We paid almost $2000 for this TV, and it is junk! I will call Magnavox, but from what I read, is there anything they are going to do? Probably not! After researching, I now see that this is a known problem, not just the occasional "lemon." If you are in the market for a TV, do not buy a Magnavox! I will never again, and I will tell anyone, who will listen, not to either!

I purchased a 52-inch Magnavox TV from Target in 2-09. It was $700. 4-1/2 months later, it broke. It has been at the repair shop for 1 month. I purchased a new TV, not a used, damaged one that needs repair. I would like a new TV with no problems!

I bought a 50" Plasma TV less than two years ago. I got four blinking lights and then a repeat cycle, have to unplug and plug back in to get the TV to turn on. Problem is getting worse. I looked online and it looks like this is a common problem.

I bought a Magnavox 19" LCD TV with built-in DVD player (model 19MD357B) on 11/03/2007 at the local Sam's Club. Around July 1, 2009, the TV, when turned on after several hours of being off (overnight), started making clicking noises and it would do any number of the following: the sound would go off, a piercing whistling sound would come on, the set wouldn't turn off (the green LED power light would just blink).

I had my 50 inch Magnavox plasma TV of two years and two months and it will not turn on. I got the flashing red light and will not turn on. I want to kill them. Well, not really... maybe. I have nothing now and I saved for that TV. Magnavox, you messed up with the wrong person.

I purchased a brand new Magnavox TV at Sam's Club om 9/24/07. It worked perfectly until about April 2009 when it started losing sound within seconds after turning on. Then it started turning off and on, the "red light" syndrome mentioned in several other complaints. Now it's taking up to a dozen times to maintain on. Manual said it is a normal occurrence if TV cannot find satellite signal so we had DirecTV out three times in one week only to find out that it is the TV not the satellite. I'm unable to reach any solution with Magnavox by phone or email. Now, the TV is also having popping noises. Once, it finally decided to stay on. The picture is beautiful but this is too much of a hassle to warrant keeping the TV.

We spent all of our money on that TV and I can't afford a service tech! I am in tears spending all that money and no TV to watch, especially when it was a gift to my husband! We were going to go on vacation. Now, it's all out the window! I want to get people together and Magnavox needs to give us our money back or have a lawsuit against them for screwing all of us around!

I bought a 50-inch plasma Magnavox with an extended warranty in 2007. Well, red blinking lights as thousands of other customers are complaining about. I called Home Depot and Magnavox and guess what? No one has a record of my extended warranty except me, all my booklets, receipts and info regarding the extended warranty. No one has record of it, where did it go and how can I get this fixed or replaced with a brand new one, not refurbished. Where is my extended warranty located? Did they sell it to someone in another country?

I purchased a 37" LCD TV by Magnavox in June 2007. By January 2009, it was slow to start and gradually stopped showing a picture, just the flashing light. After many attempts to contact Phillips for help, I've got a local TV repair man fixing it for $379. What a racket. Why haven't these TVs been recalled?

I bought a 37" LCD Magnavox (Phillips) LCD around Christmas 2007 at Wal-Mart, and before Christmas 2009, it started going off and not coming back on. It began as red light and a delay on coming on, and then, it stopped working altogether. The cost was around $900 and was a total waste of money. But I guess this is what we get when everything we buy is made overseas and is sold to you by a place with no customer service all in the name of low, low price. In the end, all you have got is low, low quality. By the looks of things, there are numerous complaints out of these products. You should simply be refunded your money, and they will either go broke or learn to build quality products.

I purchased a Phillips Magnavox from Costco in 2007. One day, the picture just disappeared, but the audio remained. I shut it off and turned it back on. It ran for about 10 minutes and lost picture again. I took it to 2 repairmen. They plugged it in, and it worked. I brought it home. It worked for a week. Then the same problem. I Googled Phillips to try and contact about the problem, and I saw all these complaints. I guess, it's a lost cause along with the $1200.00 I paid for it. What a disappointing experience. Now, it's collecting dust, and I will probably have to pay to have it junked.

50" plasma TV, Magnavox model number 50MF231D/37, purchased July 2006, not even 3 years old. No power, red light blinks 4 times and the unit does not come on. Customer care says to contact a local TV repair. I can't even find anyone who will touch it as the Philips replacement parts even have a reputation for failing. The TV was $2,000 plus installation. Now, it is just a black wall decoration. We do not have another $2,000 to invest in a TV. Paid for HD cable, 2 year contract, which is more than the regular cable and now, I don' have an HDTV.

I have a 50" Magnavox Plasma TV that just quit! I did the update and it lasted two more days! How do I get it fixed? They will not listen!

I bought a Magnavox 50" plasma screen in December 2006. In March 2009, it stopped coming on. I would get the same flashing red lights everyone else gets. I did some research and found out that there are two capacitors on the main board that go bad on these televisions. I took out the main board on my TV and confirmed the bad capacitors on it. I replaced them and reassembled the TV. The problem is solved. Do not let people tell you that the TV needs a new board, that is simply not true. The main boards in these TVs are made by Samsung and the mistake they made was putting two capacitors on the board that did not have a high enough volt rating. This is easily solved by replacing the capacitors. I have done this several times and would be willing to do it for anyone who has been ripped off by these TVs. You would need to be able to take the back of the TV off and remove the main board, which you could then mail to me. Shipping would not be much on the board and it will solve your problem.

I purchased 52-inch plasma TV model #50MF231D/37, 2 1/2 yrs ago. It stopped working and flashing red lights. I called customer service. They said it needed a software upgrade. I downloaded the upgrade. TV is now with a solid green light, no sound and no picture. When I called customer service back, they said they'd call me back with the phone numbers of repair companies. I never heard back from them and I can't find anyone local to look at the TV.

We purchased a Magnavox 42" plasma for Sears, 12/30/06. It worked great for 23 months. Then the picture started flickering like someone was turning it off and on. Then 3 months later, the picture quit completely. It has sound, but has no picture through any input. It looks like all the switch boards are made by Samsung. I won't pay to have it fixed because it doesn't sound like the replacement parts work either. Buy a Sony.

I purchased a new Magnavox LCD TV (Model# 19MF337B/27 Serial # BZ5A0745330212) in April of 2008 from Best Buy of Annapolis, MD. I was naturally hoping to have years of trouble-free use from the TV as Magnavox has a fine reputation. After approximately 1 year of trouble-free service, a problem with the TV developed. It has become extremely difficult to turn the unit on. It shuts itself off repeatedly and then turns back on for a few seconds. This process can last up to 20 minutes each time the TV is turned on. Now the sound won't come on, even when the picture remains on.

I have a digital converter box that is 6 months old. Recently, the power started to turn off. Now, it will not turn on at all. I called customer service who said they can send me another one after I send in my broken one. It should only take 3 to 4 weeks. I told the floor manager, ID# **, that 3-4 weeks was too long and he basically said, too bad. Do not buy Magnavox or Philips products. Save yourself the trouble.

In September of 2007, I purchased a brand new 37" LCD flat screen Magnavox TV from Wal-Mart. The problems began not long after I bought it. The screen would temporarily go black while the TV was on. This started becoming more and more frequent and the screen would stay off longer each time. Several weeks later, I tried to turn the TV on and the light blinked green several times and then nothing happened. I continued my attempts to turn it on and waited through the series of blinking lights before the TV would eventually turn on after the 3rd or 4th try.

My 50 inch Plasma TV has died for the third time in less than two and a half years. They fixed it the first time. It cost me 507 dollars the second time. Now it is dead again. I am paying for HD service with no HD TV.

We did as the gov't requested - ordered 2 coupons for our DTV converter boxes, then purchased them from Wal-Mart in December 2008. In February, we were no longer able to continue satellite service due to loss of income. So we hooked up the boxes to our 2 TVs and were temporarily happy. After a month, the box on the main TV suddenly went blank, said no signal. No matter how many times we rescanned or adjusted the digital antenna we had bought, we could not get a signal. We brought the second box from the other TV and hooked it to the main TV, and for about a month, it worked. Then, it did the same and suddenly went blank.

I bought a flat panel TV about 2 years ago. It started turning itself off once in a while and the past 6 months, it started to flicker on/off repeatedly. It finally turned off completely and will not turn on at all. I have contacted Customer Service and they said they have not heard of this problem. Yet I search the internet and find numerous complaints about this issue. I am very disappointed in the service and the product and I will pass on my issue with as many people as I can. I would hate for other people to waste their money with this company.

I purchased a brand new 32" LCD TV in January. It made a sound and the picture died in early April (not even 90 days old). Magnavox arranged to send a replacement. The first replacement never reached me due to shipping damage (poor packaging) and the second replacement was a refurbished unit that didn't work (it had the same issue - no screen and the LED just blinks and goes red). After 4 weeks waiting for this TV, I decided they need to refund my money. They said that this process takes another 4 to 6 weeks after they received the unit. I discovered that this is a major quality issue with their TVs - they've been busy shipping replacements. A refurbished unit and the wait to get my money are unacceptable.

I have purchased 6 Magnavox DVD players in less than a year. Five of these have broken. They assume no responsibility, did not offer to replace even one, and just offered a parts warranty that would cost more in labor than what the DVD player cost. I am out hundreds of dollars this year and have one DVD player working (for now). This feels like a scam. They make a very poor product and offer a very poor warranty. I'm sure they're making a lot of money.

On October 3, 2006, I purchased a 42" Plasma TV from Home Depot in the amount of $1499 plus tax (no extended warranty). On May 5, 2009, I had it on while doing some excise and it just blacked out. There was sound but not an image. I thought it was a network problem. I tried other networks, and they were blacked out as well. I contacted Magnavox to report the problem. I spoke with a Deb. She could only help me with basic troubleshooting, plug, unplug, etc. Other than that, she could not be of much help because I could not provide her with my serial no. The T.V. was hanging on the wall. She told me to call back once I had it.

I purchased a 50-inch Magnavox DLP model 50ML8105D/17 in May 2007 for $1,799. It has been almost 2 years to the day and the lamp burnt out causing an added expense of almost $400. I would think with the amount of money paid for this TV, it would last more than 2 years. The picture and sound is not anything impressive and I feel that I should have gotten more for the money paid.

I bought a Magnavox 50" DLP television in the spring of 2006. I have now replaced the bulb 3 times and now, the television does not work at all. Is the power supply burned out? Magnavox definitely makes inferior televisions. Everyone is having trouble with them.

I bought a Magnavox LCD television model #32md251d/37 from Sam's Club in November 2006. In January 2009, it started blinking on and off and took about 15 minutes to come on and stay. In March 2009, I turned it off and it never came on again. The green light constantly flashes on the power for the TV and attached DVD player. I took it back to Sam's. I told them about it and they said there's very little they can do since it was 2 1/2 years old. I told them that that may be true but you'd expect a $900 TV to last more than two and one half years. I called Magnavox and they told me there was absolutely nothing they could do about it because the TV was way over the warranty period. She said the fuse may be blown. After that, I looked up other complaints about this product and that brings me here today. A class action suit should be inevitable.

I bought my first big screen TV 50-inch plasma. I finally got my new toy worked fine for about 1 year. Then the TV would turn off by itself then back on about 5-10 seconds later. It did this about two or three times a day for about four months. Then one day, it just shut itself off and nothing - no lights, no power, and no sound. Just dead!! Googled the model number and lo and behold my $1,800.00 purchase is a big old piece of crap.

In July 2007 we purchased a 37in LCD TV from Walmart. Within 3 months, it stopped working except for the green blinking light. Magnavox replaced it since we still had a warranty. They replaced it with a renew, which means it was someone else's problem at one time. Now it is March 2009 and you can only guess. The replacement now doesn't work and has the same problem as the first one. I called customer service and just like everyone else, they can't do anything but send me to a repair shop close to home. 17 months and now I have a wall hanging. I find it hard to believe these TVs are set for a two year run. I sure don't want to run right out and buy a new one.

I bought my 50" Magnavox plasma from Walmart a little over 2 years ago for $2000. All of a sudden, the TV won't turn on. You can hear it click on but there is no picture. A red light flashes but nothing happens. I unplug the set, plug it back in a few minutes later and try again. After several attempts, the TV finally comes on. According to everything I have read in this forum, it will finally stop coming on at all. It used to come on the 2nd or 3rd attempt. Now I have to go through the ritual 8-10 times. I have an expensive pile of junk. I wonder how many people will have to complain about this same problem before Magnavox has to pay up...

I bought a 19-inch Magnavox tv with a built-in DVD/VHS player at Walmart in 2007. Months after the warranty expired, the tv quit working. A red light would turn on (bottom left corner) then shut off. Magnavox extended warranty papers came in the mail stating that if I paid $70.80 for a year's warranty, they could repair my tv. When my wife called to check on this, they stated I would have to not only pay that fee but also pay a charge for them to come out and for the parts. It could be around $200+ on top of the $70.80. That's more than what I paid for the entire tv when it was brand new.

I purchased a Magnavox 42MF231D/37 TV in May 2007. Shortly after the one year warranty expired, the TV started turning itself on and off and then eventually we could not turn the TV off. We called Magnavox, went through some troubleshooting steps and we even purchased a USB port to upload new software per their advice. The new software did not work. Magnavox then advised us to call a TV repairman. We called TV repairman and it turned out to be some sort of bad board. Okay, we got past that. Now last night while watching TV, the picture went black and now we have no picture and no sound but the blue light is still on. We contacted Magnavox support line today and because we are out of the one year warranty, they advised us to contact a TV repairman. We have decided not to spend any additional money on this TV. What makes this even worse is the TV had really low hours of use because we were away a considerable amount of time. Will never buy a Magnavox again.

Makes me nauseous to read all of these stories so similar to mine. I have a Magnavox 42" Plasma, 2 years old, that decided to just stop working one day. I have sound but no picture on the screen. I have been told the color boards are probably burnt out and could cost hundreds to fix and may not be worth it. I paid $1,450 two years ago and now, I have this expensive paperweight in my house. Customer care at Philips/Magnavox said basically, "Sorry, your warranty has ended." I cannot believe this company will not guarantee their products in any way. What a piece of junk and I will never purchase from them again. Calling all Lawyers for a Class Action!

Oy Vey! Look at all these complaints and no hope of a class action? I have had this TV for 2 years/2 months. First it would not turn on and red light in bottom left would flash 4 times and then shut off. I found out that if this happens, you have to download upgraded software from Mag website onto some type of memory stick (my 22-year old did all this for me!), and then you plug the stick into the USB port on left side of TV downloads software and Voila! The TV worked fine... for ONE week! Now, the TV will not turn on at all. Green light comes on, but there is no click when you push power button on remote or on side of the TV.

I bought the 50 inch Magnavox 003784996325K HDTV plasma TV from Walmart on 12/8/06 for $2,115.76. It no longer works. It has the red blinking light that everybody is talking about. I am disgusted now and will no longer buy from Philips/Magnavox. I wanted to buy American. My girlfriend brought a Sony a couple of months before me and she has no problems. I should have listened to my friend and I would be watching my TV now, instead of being stuck with a lemon hanging on my wall.

On 03/07/09, I purchased a Magnavox LCD 37" HDTV in Dec. of 2006 from Sears in Houston, Texas. The model # is 37MF231D/37. On the morning of June 12th, 2008, I turned the TV on and got no picture or sound, only a red blinking light for about 5 minutes and then the TV turned on. I unplugged it from the wall for about 10 minutes, plugged it back in and got the same response. I called Magnavox Customer Care and explained everything. We attempted some routine troubleshooting which I had already done.

I have a Philips/Magnavox television with a VHS recorder built in. When I record, I get sound but no picture. I have recorded before and everything was fine. What happened? Thanks for any advice!

I purchased 42MF231ID/331D (42" plasma TV). It stopped working after 18 months. I paid $1,200 new plus $150 for repair technician to tell us what was wrong with the TV. After seeing A LOT of people with the same problem, this is a serious problem for Magnavox TVs!!! Something needs to be done, to hopefully keep anyone else from getting Ripped Off as we, existing Magnavox TV owners, already know!!

I wish I had looked at this site before I purchased this 42" pile of LCD (42MF521D/37). I've had the same problem as mentioned above by countless other hardworking members of the silent majority. How many of us does it take to make something happen? I was referred to the repair shop who will do the in house repair since it is a large TV. When I actually spoke to the repair service, he laughed and said bring it in to them for a free estimate.

I bought a 37" lcd tv model # 37mf231d in Dec. '06. In Dec. '08 it quit coming on like it should. It would just flash a green light for several minutes but after 3 or 4 tries would finally come on. I finally just left it on continually. Then we lost our power one night and the tv has not come back on since. From what I have read this is an ongoing problem with Magnavox. We can't seem to get it fixed and if we could it would cost almost as much as a new tv and then if it goes out again we are stuck with paying double of a piece of useless junk. Magnavox has known about this problem with their tv's for years and have done nothing but take our money for their worthless junk. I will never buy another Magnavox or Phillips product again and even stopped a woman in the store from buying the same tv that I bought by telling her how worthless they are. We work hard for our money and were so proud that we were finally able to buy what we thought was a really good tv. We just threw almost $900.00 out the window it seems.

After having our 50" plasma TV (model # 50mf231d/37) for only two years, the green light for power comes on and then shuts off and the red light starts blinking. I was told it is the small signal board. After contacting the help line, I was told that their hands were tied and they could do nothing for me and then gave me two numbers for repair. I was shocked to find out it would cost over six hundred dollars to repair. I was also told it was a manufacturing defect. When I asked the person representing Magnavox if they were getting a lot of complaints, he said no without even asking me for the model number. He was extremely rude and offered no help at all. We opted not to have the repair due to our finances. Now we have an ornament in our living room.

I am also having problems with my 50-inch plasma Magnavox. Red light blinks 6 times over and over.

As like all of the others, I purchased my Magnavox 42" plasma (model #42mf231d/17) just over two years ago. The other day, the screen went blank but I still have sound. I contacted Magnavox and they directed me to a TV repair shop. I brought it to the customer service rep's attention of the numerous complaints with their plasma televisions, but I guess that just fell on deaf ears! Good luck to everyone else with this problem because Magnavox will not stand behind their products.

Same problem. A few months after we bought it, the sound started cutting out. Then it turned off (sometimes to a black screen and then right back on, sometimes to a bluish screen with no picture and wouldn't turn on or off). Then it started taking longer and longer to turn on. I bought it at Walmart. Since it was over 90 days, they wouldn't do anything. So I figured out that if I used the stereo instead of the TV volume, it didn't shut off as much. But now 2 years and 3 months later, it is dead!!! $1,300 bucks for a TV that lasted 2 years!!! That's some really expensive TV watching!!! Anyway... I hope an attorney has bought one of these so they get mad and file a class action lawsuit!!! Oh BTW, there's a YouTube video of a guy smashing his!!!

I have a Model: 37MF231D/37. It was purchased in 02/08. Only word I have to explain Magnavox is pathetic to put it nicely. Same problem as everybody else; I have dealt with the problem for about 3 weeks. Problem: Green power light first started flashing for about 15 minutes then it would stay on, and I could turn the TV on after waiting for the light to go out and proceeding to attempt to turn the TV on about 4 times. After about a week of that, it went to 15 minutes to about three hours. At this time, I called their customer service (if you really want to call that customer service) and told them my problem. They told me my TV was out of warranty, and I should bring it to an authorized service center about 30 miles away in either direction.

Two years ago, I purchased a Magnavox TV from Sears. I have had numerous problems that has required a replacement of the power supply and circuit board while it was under warranty. Now, my television will not power on. Upon research, I have learned that this is a very common problem, one that representatives at Magnavox are aware of, and yet nothing has been done to resolve or recall this obviously defective product.

I bought a Magnavox 50" plasma on sale in Dec. 2006 as did my friend for $1650 on a 4-day sale (reg. price was about $2200). I had Sears deliver it and install it ($1850 total). At one year and 5 months, the picture faded away and it started buzzing and was dead. I called Magnavox and they extended my warranty since I did not buy the extended warranty. They replaced the display screen for free after I moaned and groaned long enough. It took about 2 months to get it back from a local repair shop. One and a half month later, it just went blank; the green light came on and went to red and blinked 9 times in a row.

I went on line to Google Magnavox 50MF2312d problems. To my surprise, I was shocked that so many people had the exact same problem as I; and around the same time frame of owning the TV for two years. Obviously, this is a manufacturer’s defect that should have been recalled. This is the letter that I sent to Magnavox, and have not received an answer as of yet. I also called them several times, only to be told that I have to write a letter and send it in to the corporate office, which I did.

I purchased a 50-inch Magnavox Plasma HDTV just over 24 months ago, model #50MF231D/37, and it will no longer turn on. Like many other similar complaints, the green power light comes on flashes for a few seconds, then turns out. For a while, if I unplugged the set several times, it would turn on. Now however, it will not turn on at all. When I did get it to turn on, I uploaded the updated software from the web (loaded on my flashcard and inserted in the side USB port on the TV), however, this made no difference to the problem.

I purchased a 37” LCD TV Magnavox from Walmart in 2006. 2 years later, the color just goes out on regular connection chip. The repairman states must replace entire board, ranging in $400 and above. We are paying more for our TVs than before. TV life expectancy was about 10 years. Now we only get 2 if lucky for a lot more money. This is not right.

I bought a 42-inch plasma TV from Home Depot in September of 2006. Twenty seven months later, the picture went blank with no warranty or offer to fix from the company. This is not a very worthwhile product without more durability than this.

I purchased a Magnavox 42MF23 LCD TV in April of 2007. The TV turns on and off by itself. After researching the problem, it appears there are multiple complaints from other people about the exact same problem. Magnavox offers no assistance to remedy the problem. Cost to fix the problem seems to be cost prohibitive because repair people say there is no guarantee how long the repair will last. I paid over $1,000 for the TV less than 1 year ago. I shouldn't be having this kind of problem.

At exactly two years old, my Magnavox 42” LCD TV died. After talking to a service tech, he said it was quite common. Can anything be done? Consequence: $1,200.00 down the tubes!

We purchased our 50" plasma TV in January 07. Thank God we got the extended warranty because in January 09, the TV has officially stopped working. It first started off with the same red blinking light and we would have to unplug and plug it back at least 8 times to get it to come on. When I called for help, they informed me to upload the new software. Well I finally got the new software uploaded and now the TV won't come on at all! I wish I had never listened to them. Ya, the red light was annoying but at least I would eventually get the damn thing on. Now I have to wait for some TV repairman to come out in 5 days to probably just take my TV away. I will never ever, ever buy another Magnavox TV.

My 47 LCD TV model 47MF437B purchased one year ago now loses all the blue tint. Everything is red and green like Christmas decorations. This happens when the TV has been on and starts to get warm. I usually turn the set off for awhile and turn it back on when it has cooled off to get the color right again. I bought this set based on what I thought was a reputable brand name. I guess I was wrong.

I purchased a 32-inch Magnavox LCD (Model 32MD357B137) from Sam’s Club in Jackson, MI in March 2007, shortly after the built-in DVD player started freezing up in the middle of movies and sometimes won’t play at all. I was told by ** at your customer service number 800-705-2000 that if they would extend labor warranty which they did but failed to notify me as they said they would. That’s because of the distance of the repair centers being so far to drive to that they would just replace the unit because it is less than 1 year old. Now, I am being told that is not true and I will have to drive about 50 miles each way and make two trips and be without my TV for about 10 days. I have been a Magnavox customer for about 30 years, and I would like to know if there is something that can be done to help me with this problem so I may remain a loyal customer of Magnavox. Repair reference number is **. Thank you.

I purchased a Magnavox/Philips 19MF337B HDTV in January of 2008. In 11 months, it failed. You turn it on and it makes a severe popping noise and then shuts off, no sound/no picture. Warranty was 90 on labor. To fix, it will cost as much as a new one. I have seen several complaints about this same problem with this same model on the web. Don't buy a Magnavox. $300 down the drain.

In Sept. 07, my husband purchased a 32" Magnavox HD Flat Screen Plasma TV for me. In Jan. 09, it quit. It was playing just fine and then went off with no warning, no red light. Now I can't get it to power up! I called Magnavox and, of course, it was out of warranty. Luckily, we had purchased an extended warranty from Sam's Club - they are sending someone to hopefully fix it. However, I feel that with all the complaints I've read about Magnavox TVs dying at 2 years, I think Magnavox should either fix this problem or compensate the consumer!

I purchased two Magnavox LCD televisions approx. 14 months ago. Both televisions went out and both needed video cards replaced at a cost of $800 each. This happened just two months after the warranty expired. Ironic or does the company program this to happen? I think both of these televisions were programmed to poop out just around the time the warranties are to expire. Great profit for Magnavox!

I purchased the TV from Home Depot about 2 years ago, exactly the same complaint as most of the other individuals on this page. A few days ago, the TV would power on (no audio or video) and then the blinking red light would start. Unplugging it for about a minute worked the first couple of times and now nothing. I have an old 27” TV that is about 12 years old that still works fine. Something needs to be done to compensate all the people who have been robbed by Magnavox when they purchased these TVs.

We bought our 42" Magnavox Plasma TV model #42MF230A in Nov. 2006. It worked for about a year and a half then the screen started going on and off, mostly staying off and going black. Then a month later in Aug. 2008, the sound stopped working. I called customer service and they said, "Sorry, we cannot help you. You are out of the warranty period," and they referred us to a service provided in the area (which starts at $150 -$200 just to look at it). I am totally disgusted with Magnavox! Not only did the TV cost us $1500 that only lasted 1 1/2 years then broke, the manufacturer knowing the problem is doing nothing for the consumer. After reading numerous complaints about the same problem we had, I would recommend never ever purchasing anything with Magnavox or Philips' name! All I can hope for is that Magnavox/Philips suffers losses tremendously due to their lack of taking advantage of the consumer.

After only 24 months, my Magnavox 50" plasma would not display any audio or video even though there was clearly power going to the TV. Magnavox customer service was useless. However, I learned from others on the web and fixed the problem by replacing two identical capacitors that had gone bad (3300uf 10v). These were located on the power supply board. The new capacitors cost me $4.24, including tax. An electronics repairman put them on for me for free. The entire repair cost me under $5.00. There is no doubt in my mind that Philips Magnavox (and Samsung, which makes the power supply board) knows the problem and how to fix it. I know nothing about electronics and got this fixed for under $5.00. However, it took persistence on my part and about 20 hours of internet searching and phone calls and determination to get to the problem.

Purchased a 37-inch Magnavox LCD TV on 11/17/06. About 18 mos. later at power up no picture, only flashing screen. Then nothing at all but audio. No help from Magnavox out of warranty. Now I'm out 1400.00 bucks.

After 2 years TV just up and died (3 months after warranty expired).... Won't power on.... Was told by Support to send to 3rd party repair shop 2hrs away.... After reading up, I see this seems to be the normal for the Phillips and Magnavox product lines.... Never AGAIN will I buy CRAP.

I have had a Magnavox 50 DLP-HDTV (model # 50ML8105D/17 serial # AP2B0533000147) since 12/19/05. I have not been able to use it for over a year, because I have been on the phone TOO Many times with TOO Many technicians and representatives to try getting it to work again. At first, during the third month of owning it, there were problems of it losing the picture and fluctuating sound. I had the one-year warranty, and a repairman came out and replaced a large module to make it work again. After the one-year warranty expired, the TV started to shut down. I contacted the repairman and he said it was the projection bulb. I ordered one and replaced it. It continued to work until about four months later it started to shut down again.

Purchased a 50 Magnavox plasma TV 50MF231D/37. Had it a year and a half and it won't turn on - the light in the corner blinks to green then turns red. I called Magnavox, they referred me to a repair shop. It will cost $500 to fix. I paid $1600 for the television and now have to put another $500 to have it repaired almost 2 years later. I am not happy as I do not have the money in these economic times to repair a television. Also, I purchased from Sears and it was a floor model. One sales person told us they were having problems with it and the other salesperson said they were not having problems it was a good set. I guess we have our answer. Why were they selling a set if they knew something was wrong with it?

I purchased a 32 HD LCD television on 8-24-07. I started having trouble with trying to tune channels on 9-16-08. I had moved the television to another room that was not hooked up to a cable box. When I attempted to tune in channels, it would read no channels programmed (antenna or cable). I tried this several times, checked the manual etc... I called the customer service number and spoke to Marcellino. He went through all the basics with me and then told me he thought the tuner was out. He gave me the name of an authorized repair center, which was 50 miles away from where I live (I live in a city with a population of 600,000 plus). I do not have a car and getting to this repair center would be difficult. He then told me to fax the proof of purchase and the receipt and someone would contact me in a couple of days. No one contacted me about this matter.

We purchased a Magnavox LCD 37 TV in Feb. of 2007 and the other night, Dec. 17, it just went blank and we can't even turn it on for a technician to troubleshoot the problem. Of course, I was told it was out of warranty and there was nothing they could do about it but give me a repairman's number to a city 1 hour away from me. Unfortunately, prior to this, we had a Philips TV that broke within the warranty limit but had all kinds of problems with the repair and ended up being reimbursed by Philips but we didn't know that Philips also made Magnavox until after we purchased the television.

I've had a Magnavox 24 inch tube TV for over 3 years now. As long as its lasted, I am surprised. Now for the past week and a half, there's a power issue. The screen sometimes has a twitch in the tube that manifests itself in the form of a white flash on a spot on the screen. And then anywhere from 1 to 5 mins later, it finally switches off, then switches back on and continues until it eventually shuts down completely.

I purchased a Magnavox 42 plasma mod#42mf231d for $1400 two years ago this month. Weeks after purchase the TV started blacking out on the lower half of the screen for only a few seconds at a time. I knew something wasn't right but being so difficult to remove from the wall overhead. It was something I could live with. I justified it as normal because I never owned a plasma TV - this could be no big deal. Now I have a $1400 TV that has no picture at all, sounds great but no video at all. Everything works normal with the lights, sounds during start up (clicking sounds) but the screen looks like you didn't do anything. Magnavox says it is out of warranty, which it is, and refuses to do anything further. I have contacted 3 tv repairmen and the standing quote is $300-$400 minimum. After reading all the other complaints like mine I don't think it could be fixed even if I could afford to pay someone to look at it. I have determined though I will never buy another Phillips or Magnavox in any form.

My 18 month old 51in plasma Magnavox TV won't turn on. It clicks like it will but then turns off. Red light flashes several times. I called Magnavox and they said sorry past 12 month warranty and to call a repairman I have to pay for. I told them about the thousands of same complaints I see on the web but they deny they have ever been told about this issue. LIARS.

Bought 42-inch Magnavox plasma TV mod. 42MF231D less than 2 years old. Started having problems approx 2 months earlier. Parts of screen would go out (usually top half) for several seconds. Then it got worse. It would go out for several minutes. I thought it was in the cable box. Obviously it wasn't. The first week of Dec. 2008, it went out completely. Cost of repair is more than the price of new TV (which wasn't a Magnavox).

As everyone else has stated I bought a $2000.00 42-inch plasma TV Magnavox 11/26/2006. Less than 2 years later, the screen went black with no sound. I purchased service contract but lost the original paperwork. Home Depot told me they didn't keep copies so too bad. Magnavox also won't help with out the contract. With all the problems with Magnavox/Philips why isn't the Government stepping in to stop the rip off off this large company!!! They should have a recall or return the money to the hardworking people...There should be a civil suit against Magnavox!!!!! I'll NEVER buy one and neither will anyone I know after seeing what I went through plus they won't go to Home Depot. There's plenty of other stores that will be here for us...

I purchased a 32 Magnavox Mod # 32MF23ID/37 flat screen TV from a local leasing firm approx. 2 years and 3 months for about the total cost of $2000.00. During this time, the TV would go off and on. I thought it was the cable service or box so I had several service calls on the cable box. The cable co. replaced the box 3 times because I did not believe it was the TV. I now have DirecTV for the last several months and it still did it. Today, 12-07-08, the TV can be turned on but no picture only sound. I got to thinking and spoke with my wife about the TV we replaced this one with and it was a Philips and it had done the same thing and we actually had the leasing center replace the TV one time and the replacement one did the same and the whole time we thought it was the cable service.

I purchased a 32 Magnavox 32MF231D/37 in March '07 and LESS THAN two years later this TV is just a big black screen!! That's a lot of money to dump for a TV to take a ** on someone!!!!

I purchased from TARGET a 42-inch Magnavox Plasma TV 3/24/06 and lately I've noticed I sometimes don't have sound when changing channels. Now to make matters worse. My TV suddenly began taking 25 sec to power up and 45 sec to power down. A fire hazard! As it turns on and off on it's own, now have to unplug TV. I paid $1,299.00 for this set and did not purchase the extended warranty. Why should I? I should get more than a year and nine months out of a $1,300 TV. I called Magnavox and they advised me to update my firmware, I did, no change. I called back and another rep explained that I needed to call an ASC, the nearest one to me is an hour away. This is a disgrace! I work hard for my money to just give it away. They should stand behind their product and sounds like most of my issues are similar to the following model number. My TV model number is Model Number: 42MF231D/37.

I purchased the Magnavox 47 LCD HDTV from Walmart on May 11, 2008. It worked fine up until November 17th. It just shut off and will not turn on. I unplugged it to reset it but still nothing. I called Magnavox and they referred me to a service center. They came out on November 19th and after looking at it said it was the power block. Needless to say, they did not have the part and had to reschedule me for 10 days out. Magnavox has been so useless. I have called numerous times about my warranty. Even though I filled out the registration card in May, they have had me fax my proof of purchase twice and still keep saying it is not in the system yet and to call back. They told me the part is covered but the labor is not. It will cost me $265 to have this fixed. Not to mention my family has been without a TV for a week and still no end in sight.

Bought a Magnavox tv a little over a year ago. As of today 11/21/2008, it will not cut on, green light blinks and blinks. Sometimes it takes over an hour or so to get it to come on. I paid over 1200.00 for this tv to have this happen already. Needless to say called the company and they want do anything about it nor will Walmart. TV MODEL- 37MF321D/37. Seems to me what I have read there are several people out there with this problem and I think someone should replace these TVs. But I can say I will never buy another Magnavox.

Called in to tech support. They had no answers, solutions, or a clue to what is happening with my TV. I've seen tons of complaints. They say they have not heard anything wrong with this line of Plasma televisions.

I purchased a Magnavox 911 Emergency phone about 5 years ago. I paid around $99 for it.. It uses 4 AA batteries. I did a phone check and was connected to the 911 operator. (It has one red button to push). The operator said, "If this had been a real emergency, you would have to tell me the address." So I put the phone by my bed, just making sure the batteries are good. Never did another phone check. Then I told my neighbor about the phone.. She is 87 and lives alone... She ordered one, maybe a year ago... I was at her home when she got it... Hers had a GPS built in...so we did a phone check on it... It worked and the operator didn't have to ask for an address. Well a couple of months ago.. she called me and said her phone won't work.. I told her maybe the battery went bad..so she bought new ones..(her phone didn't use 4AA, it cost her about $10.00) and her's takes two batteries. Then when she tried the phone it still wouldn't work..

Bought a new Magnavox 42 in. Plasma TV, Model # 62642MF231D/37, Serial # AE1C0629000411. 11 of 06 and 10/22/08 not even two year later, smoke came out of the top of the TV, picture went black but still got the sound. Shut the TV off, call the Dealer, was told that the TV warranty had expired . Had the repairman come spent $105 for the service call and was told that we needed Horiz/Vert. Buffer PWBR Rep but could not guarantee that the TV would work because it could be the circuit board also and we could not return the part if we order it. Part would cost $206 plus another service call to install the part, so now we have a TV does not work. Spent over $1700.00 for the unit. Something need to be done as this look like I'm not the only one with these problem.

I purchased a 37 Magnavox HDTV in January 2008 at Super Target in Wesley Chapel Florida. Everything has been great until the last few days. Two days ago when I turned the TV on to watch the news before I went to work, it came on but there was no sound at all. I called home later and ask if the TV was working properly and was told that after turning it off and on a few times the sound finally came on. Yesterday it happened again so this time I just left it on but after about 10 hours the sound went off again. I just turned it off and went to bed. This morning I have nothing. The TV is totally dead. It won't even come on. I googled my problem and am very discouraged to learn that many many people have had the same or similar problems and Magnavox/Phillips just doesn't care.

We purchased a Magnavox LCD TV 37 inch at Walmart a little over a year ago. The screen was showing the menu options and would continue to click through options on its own. Then would shut off entirely. We called support at Magnavox and they gave me a repairman locally who we paid 50 dollars to have them look at the TV, to find out that the main board of the TV was shot and it would cost $400 plus tax to have it fixed. I called Magnavox back and ask why a TV would have the main board shut down in just a little over a year and that it was not right and ask if they could replace my TV that I paid almost $900 for. The only thing they said was that it was out of warranty and to write a letter to the complaint center. I feel that they should stand by a product. A TV just over a year broken is ridiculous and they don't even try to keep you as a customer. TVs should last up to 5 years whether you have a warranty or not.

I wish I had researched the Magnavox TV before I bought one. I purchased my Plasma LCD television (I don't know the model number now because it's been sitting in a repair store the past month) from a local retail store because I thought Magnavox was a good and reputable brand. I WAS WRONG! I had my 32 flat screen less than 4 years, and for the past 9 months have been having picture issues. Half the screen would go black, then it would come back. The whole screen would go black, and then come back. I checked with my cable company to see if it was a power issue. It was not. I took the tv to a repair store and one month later, he's notified me that IT IS NOT FIXABLE!! The computer boards are NOT AVAILABLE!?

I bought MAGNAVOX LCD w DVD 20MF 25IW late December 2006. We used the DVD about 3 times in the first 3 months. Sept 2007 it failed. It would play music but no video. The TV worked. I attempted a variety of software 'fixes' - resetting the TV/Cable - cleaning the DVD player - trying other DVDs. No effect.

purchased a 26LCD combo TV model 26md357b/37 on 12/2/07. started making a buzzing sounds july. TV to service center 11 weeks ago and have not seen my TV since. Phillipos consumer relation told me that if thje part =was not in in 30 days after the partwas ordetred they would replace my TV. Kelly from consumer relations nowe tells me that the part is apparently being shipped to the warehouse, but she can't tell me when or how long it will take top get my TXV back but they are going back on there word and telling to wait again Who waits 11 weeks or 44 days and 33 full business days for a part.

Comsumers Are getting cheated out of their money for Tv that dont work right. I purchased 2 yrs ago a Magnavox 42 inch lcd hdtv flat and no its going to cost me 700 to fix it. I was told that This is a major problem with the TV and it continues to be a ongoing prob. The last repair shop said I was not even guarantee that The part would be in. Why hasnt anyone done something Come on.

My tv is still under warrenty. I have a grey strip running down each side of the screen. I called and they set up an appt for someone to come look at it. They called today to tell me the set is a carry in for service only. I don't drive. Now they are looking for someone else. Why didn't they tell me that in the first place

Paid $327.27 for a 3yr. service contract on our tv/vcr. They couldn't fix the set, and offered a $225. settlement, but would cancel the contract without making any restitution for the two remaining years of the contract--and that would amount to more than the settlement offer!

My Maganavox Lcd tv has just been purchased November of 2007 and has not been working on and off. now not working at all. the remote does not work with it and now it wont come on. the customer service is very rude and they only have 3 repair departments in my state that are only open monday thru friday for a short amount of hours. to repair they only cover parts no labor after 90 days. this is a inconveience to the customer and i paid 1300 for the tv that has not even went thru a full year

We bought a tv april/4th and on august 10th I was watching tv before heading to work for 7am. Turned off the tv left for work. My boyfriend got up turned on the tv and it shut off. the tv will not stay on. We called the number on the box. We were told we have to pay 65.00 for them to pick it up and then pay for the labor. They cant tell us how much it will cost or when they will be able to pick it up. We asked if they would call before pick up and the guy on the phone said they can't gaurantee that we would be notified before pick up. If we are not home they will leave a note with instructions of what to do next. How are we supposed to make sure we are home to let them in to get the tv.

I bought a Mag. TV model 20MT1331/17 about 1 1/2 years ago. The 1st one I bought the pic. tube went almost instantly, I was within the 30 days so I took it back and got a replacement now this one is doing the exact same thing. The screen is black from the top to about 5in down and from the 5in mark is a fuzzy line that extends 2 in down. Magnavox told me this was the pic. tube but will not replace it as the warranty has expired BUT for 66.00 I was told the 1st time then 88.00 I was told the second time to 92.40 I was told today they would replace it. I only paid 69.00 for it to begin with and why would I want the same model again when I've been thru 2 and a man on our local Craigslist was getting rid of the same TV for free because it had the same problem...

I purchased a 42 plasma about 17 mo. ago I've allways had good service with magnavox untill now. About 2, mo. ago lost picture. Took TV to repair shop where they said it needed a CBA-Y BUFFER UPPER which they ordered & was sent wrong part when they re-ordered they were told it was back ordered 7 to 10 days shipping.

My company bought a dvd player/monitor from Walmart for $129 plus tax. We used it for a display running a promotional video. After 6 and a half months it stopped working. I thought it had a one year warranty. However, they wanted to charge us $60 for labor. (There is a 90 day warranty on labor.) That, to me is a rip off. I did nothing to break this unit. I only used it as it was intended to be used. I wouldn't have paid $189 for this unit and I won't do it now. They don't back their own product for more than 90 days but make you think they do with their limited warranty. This is like Bait and switch sales and it's low.

We purchased a 50 Magnavox Plasma television, Mod. #50MF231D/37 from Wal-Mart in June, 2006. About 16 mos. later, we started having trouble and would have perfect sound, but intermittent picture. Called Magnavox Customer Support & they said all we needed to do was a software upgrade and we did that and the problem appeared solved. Now, a new mos. ago, it is doing it again.

I too purchased a 42 magnavox tv just over 2 years ago for $1500...model 42MF230A/37. One week ago today it started acting up, there were lines going across the top of the tv, then the entire screen would turn multiple colors and now it is just black. It does power up but that is it. I called magnavox and they said they couldn't help us either that we would have to take it to a repair shop. It is extremely frustrating. My husband and myself work very hard for our money and are feeling as though we have been taken advantage of.

I purchase the extended warranty for my magnavox palsma tv. On May 9th 2008 the picture went black. I called to arrange for service. I waited 2 weeks for someone to come out. I was then told the TV could not be fixed, ie: part was not available. I was told that they would contact me to arrange for delivery of a new TV.

bought a 42 inch plasma tv 9 months ago. when i took it out the box it had 2 dents on the top in the casing. called the store where i purchased it (target) and they said i had to contact the manufaturer. shortly after tha the tv went blank while watching a movie. when i got closer to the screen, i noticed a crack on the inside of the glass. the unit made loud buzzing souinds no picture or sound.

My husband and I purchased a new Magnavox 51" Rear Projection TV model #51MP6200D/37 September 19, 2006 for $900.00.

I am complaining about service provided to me from J&K Electronic and Magnovox service contract purchased and not following up on the service provided to their customers. Television picked up by J&K Electronics, Houston,TX on 05/02/2008 and still television not fixed. Called and they couldnot give me any information on how long it would take only that they had ordered parts for TV. Contacted Magnovox service contract which hires Serivce Net to handle all services being made on their products. They called J&K Electronics bout matter and stated parts ordered less than 10days ago for TV. I the consumer had to followup on this and explained that to ServiceNet/Magnovox.

Magnavox 37mf23d1 lcd tv comes on but no picture or sound since Jan and Feb 2008, after labor warranty is out. Bought in Sept 2007, at Target. Magnavox says to go to repair shop, which has minimal charge of about 250 to 300 hundred dolars which I can't afford. This appears to be a systematic problem with their tv's fo yearws. Can't something be done?

television would not come on any more. purchased service contract. tv would not work, picture would come on,and on/off light flashed. called magnavox service contract to pick up on may 2nd. no response to repair of tv. called service contractor 5/13/08; stated part was ordered; but could not give date for completion of repair of tv. reported to magnavox service center that tv had not been repaired in the 30 day ttime frame

I purchased a magnavox 50ml8105/17 in march of 2006 for 1499.00 from buy.com. april 2007 bulb blew and was left with a 1500.00 boat anchor that needed a 695.00 bulb. i spent 3 weeks hunting a bulb to fit the tv.i finally found one for 129.00. it turns out it fits other tv's under a different number. i fixed it myself. now, june, 2008 bulb and color wheel out and the tv is not worth fixing as the repair needed is now at 700-800 dollars.

I bought a TV in 2006 for a Christmas present, not even a year later the TV went black it has a line through the middle. It is unreal that a TV that i bought almost 10 years ago used still works but this new TV doesnt.

I purchased a Magnavox 13 Digital/Analog Television with a Built-in DVD Player. I purchased the TV for my son June 2007. It has not been a year. The remote control would not work. I changed the batteries but the remote control would still not work. I used the manual buttons on the bottom of the TV. This is what happened. When I used the up and down volume buttons, the channel would change instead. I could not use the volume button to turn the TV down. All it would do is change channels when I touched the up and down volume button.

In 2007 I bought a Big Screen T.V. from Walmart for $1600.00 and exactly 100 days later the thing went out. I recieved no help what so ever on this problem. It is all documented with the store and if anyone wants to check it out (Which I really dought will happen) it would be easy enough to do so. At that time I itimized out how much money I spent at Walmart each year which came to about $6000.00. I told them then I would never set foot in their store and, so far, I haven't. I'm writting now to let Walmart know the first year has passed and (Walmart) has lost the first years worth of purchases from me totaling atleast $6000.00.

37 INCH MAGNAVOX LCD 13months after purchase of $1000+ tv quits turning on. warranty is 3 months past and can't have tv repaired free of charge. MAGNAVOX refuses to post a recall on product knowing this is what is happening to everyones tv. I'm now writing a letter to corporate offfice and sending in complaint to BBB, consumer affairs, and the Mayor this product should be recalled and repaired free no one should have to invest so much for a tv that only lasts a few months

3 months after buying a 37 in Magnavox Lcd TV, I began having problems. When I turn it on it take any where from 15 minutes to more than an hour to come on, depending how long it has been off. During this time the green light continuously flashes, then does out. To get it to come on I have to wait for the light to go out and continuously press the on switch until it comes on. This process takes longer and longer to get it to come on.

My husband and I purchased a 26 Magnavox Flat panel LCD TV on 11/16/07 on 3/27/08 it would not even power on. Of course that was 41 days past the 90 day warranty. Magnavox would not help, but directed us to a local service center. After reading these complaints, we won't even bother to start the repair process. We will not ever buy a Magnavox product again.

We bought a Magnavox 26 inch flat screen and 15 days after warranty the remote stopped working. I called Magnavox and they would not do anything but offered an exchange for $600! I then took it to a tv repair and they said the sensor is bad but couldn't get part. Called Magnavox again and they said I would not be able to get the part and I would be forced to pay the $600 exchange.

Magnavox DOES NOT stand behind their product! I bought a TV brand new in May of '07, and it stopped working in Jan '08. Will not power on. Plug and unplug--itresets for a few minutes, then it crashes. I called Magnavox customer service; they would replace if I paid $200.00! That is robbery in anyones' book! A 9-month- old TV shouldn't just stop working! There is no recourse; the TV is junk. Please beware, and if you must purchase, get an extended warranty...you'll need it!

I purchased a 50 Phillips Magnavox TV just 3 years ago and now the picture tube is going out. I work at Wal-Mart and I have 2 boys who love to watch wresting so imagine my outrage when on Christmas Day they couldn't play the Wii game on their TV. I don't make a lot of money and I had just finished my last payment on the TV when the picture started to get blurred. I need to know how I can fix this. My previous Magnavox TV only lasted 3 years. My mother's TV didn't get blurred for 10 years. I paid a lot of money every 2 weeks and I don't have $2500 just to give away to Phillips Magnavox

We purchased a 42" Magnavox plasma TV, and on 12/06 the picture went out. On 11/07 we paid $1400 for it; we still have sound but no picture. We did purchase an extended warranty on this, thank God! Service people have been out numerous times to fix the problem, with no end in sight. Each time they come out it's a new diagnosis an another part ordered for the next repair person to figure out. Ordering a part is usually 4-6 weeks of waiting in between; they don't have a clue. Now they're saying it's the screen, and we're waiting to see if they can get one. Buyer beware and avoid Philips/Magnavox; plasmas are too new and no one has parts for them.

I bought a Magnavox 42 LCD TV two months ago.We had it just a couple of days when the picture started getting sparkly flecks. I called Magnavox and there is no service center in my area. They replaced it with a new set. This set lasted two weeks and the right speaker started making hissing, crackling noises. Called service center again and they replaced it again. This new set was bad from day one. The picture is grainy and fuzzy. I called the fourth time and am waiting to see what they plan to do. I am inclined to ask for my money back, but can't find the original receipt.

I purchased a LCD TV, model #32MF231D/37, serial #BZ3A0609170320 on 4/21/2006 and on 7/1/2006 the TV quit working. I contacted Magnavox customer service on 7/3, who directed me to a local service tech for repair. I contacted the service repair by phone at 239.566.2424 on 7/3. I then faxed the details of the problem to the service repairman. I followed up the fax message with a phone call. I have since called 4 times and visited his shop. With each visit I have to re-explain the situtuation. I have lost my patience and would like to return the TV for a full refund. I contacted Magnavox customer support, 1-800-705-2000 Robyn employee ID 42590, who said there wasnt anything he could do to help me return the TV.

I bought a 42' plasma tv just 31 days after the plasma panel goes out. Here it is 5 months later and my tv is still not fixed. They have sent 2 plasma panels but still does not work. We have to wait 20 more days before our case goes back up for review.

My TV broke. It was under warranty. It's been 80 days and it's not fixed. I have to watch a 13" tv. The one that broke is 51". I can't enjoy my TV. I have Cable and I can't see HD or Widescreen on the 13" tv. My head hurts if I watch the 13" tv for nay length of time.
