RCA Reviews

We bought an RCA 46-inch LCD TV in Jan 2012. In March, there began to be small lines, vertical, and by April, half the screen is blacked out! We misplaced the receipt during our move as we never thought this would happen. I will never misplace a receipt again and I will never ever buy RCA. What a piece of stuff this TV is. Do not buy RCA. I will also check for complaints before I spend this kind of money again.

We bought a 46" RCA LCD TV in Nov 2011. In April 2012, a dark line appeared on the right half of the TV. We called RCA's number in the owner's guide and spoke to Lynette. She told us that a box would be arriving at our house with instructions to return the TV in 7-10 days. Three weeks later and many unanswered messages for RCA, the box arrived. They told us that when they had verification that the TV was picked up by UPS, they would send out a new one. We were to call them and let them know when the TV was picked up and they would tell us when the new TV would be sent out. Now, no one answers the phones. My husband has left numerous messages in every departments' voicemail (including accounting). No one will call back. We have no idea if we are even going to get a TV in return.

Re: Defective TV (Model 46LA45RQ) - I bought TV from Best Buy 03/05/12. After 2 months, a vertical line appears on the screen about 2 inches wide. Then it moved to the right side and became worst occupying 1/4 of the screen. Per RCA technician, defective, and said that RCA will contact me in 14 days to send a replacement. Nobody called. I left a message that I don't want a replacement but a full refund. None at On Corp picked-up calls.

I bought an RCA 46-inch LCD TV at Best Buy in December 2011. Five months later, the picture quality is a problem. They sent a serviceman out and he said an LCD panel is defective. Now, the company is not picking up the phone and not honoring their warranty. You go try and find a corporate address for RCA Television in the United States. Actually, the TV is made by On Corp., a S. Korean company. I can't find an address for them either. All in all, it's a very shady corporate presence for RCA nowadays. This is a complete fiasco.

We purchased an RCA TV at Best Buy on 2/10/12. In May, we experienced problems with the picture. We called RCA, who sent out a technician who determined the main frame was going out. The tech contacted RCA, who agreed to send us a box to return the TV, and they would send us a new one. We received the box and then called RCA as instructed. We left several messages that were never returned. We then googled ‘RCA TV complaints’, only to find on several websites hundreds of similar complaints with RCA/ON Corp. We also called the technician, who told us they have had other customers with the same problem.

I will never buy an RCA 47 inch TV again. When we called, the guy was nice and said, "Oh, we know the problem of the TV and we can send you a replacement once we send a guy out there to check what's wrong." They said that their TV's were from a third party company that builds them and a bad skid of TV's went out unsupervised. Really? That's not why I'm complaining. The third party makers are now sending the TV but taking their good old time doing so! I think if they were going to rely on a third party company, they should send an inspector over there for inspection. No customer should wait this long even if customer service isn't number one on the list.

RCA doesn't have the clout it once enjoyed. Four years ago, I bought an RCA TV and I have a Sanyo much older by 8 years still kicking and the RCA model, although perfect for the top of my chest of drawers, has begun to turn itself off and on of its own accord. That is the last RCA anything I'm ever going to purchase again. I checked the batteries of the remote, the DVD/CD player, unplugged the unit, plugged it back in, and all I can say is I'm totally disgusted.

I will never buy another RCA. The quality and customer service are very poor. I had other brands and they are still working after many years. This particular TV, an RCA 42-inch L42FHD37, only lasted me 3 years. I paid $800.

I purchased the RCA mp3 player model number th181414w4-4. As soon as I received the unit, I filled out the 1-year warranty card, put my address and mailed it. Two weeks went by without any problems with the device, but now, it no longer functions. I went back to Walmart, holding the receipt, but the store associate could not come to an amicable solution to this situation. Please, I hope you can help me. I live on S.S. and all I get is $54 per month for medication. Thank you.

My 46'' LCD RCA TV, same with a lot of people, the screen went half black. The TV is 3 months old. It’s going on 41 days with no response, good luck.

A panel of pixels went out on my TV screen. A service person came out and said it could not be fixed. Two weeks later, I got a call from customer service saying that I need to return my television in order to receive a new model that wouldn't have the same problems. The TV was scheduled to be picked up by FedEx the following day (May 5, 2012). My TV was picked up by FedEx on May 5, 2012. On May 25, 2012, an empty television box was delivered to my house. I have been trying for almost a week to get in contact with customer service to have this issue resolved and I have had zero luck in speaking to a live person. I am beyond frustrated at this point. I had a faulty TV and now I've gone without a TV for close to a month with only more grief in receiving an empty packaging box after I was advised to send my TV in the original packaging (which I did).

I purchased a 42" RCA TV on 4-18-11. On 5-24-12 (six days out of warranty), the picture went black, but still had sound. I contacted RCA. They told me, "Sorry," but gave me a number to call because it sounded like a main board problem (which would cost around $200) that OnCorp was having with model 42LA45RQ. They told me to check for a recall. After I called and explained my problem, the tech told me he was also sorry (I think he even giggled) but he would be happy to send a tech out (for a $100 service call) to replace the main board. I don't think so. He told me, "If there is anything else we can help you with, we want to keep you happy." What would make me happy is that OnCorp who made the TV try and work a little with their customers.

After only owning this television (46" LCD Full HDTV) for two months, I got vertical lines covering the left half of the screen. I called for repair. After waiting two weeks, a service person finally came out. He took one look at it and said it needed to be replaced. He also told me that this is happening with almost all of these televisions. I finally received a phone call back to tell me that FedEx would be out to pick up the broken television.

Within 6 months of purchasing a new RCA TV, it developed vertical lines in the screen. I called RCA for troubleshooting and they sent out a technician. The technician came on 4/11/12 and he determined it could not be repaired, but needed to be replaced. He also stated this was a known issue with my model (46LA45RQ) and that they were having to be replaced nationwide. I have been trying since to get a replacement and as of today, I still have the non-working TV. A rep called within a week to confirm my address. Any and all follow-up calls I have made since have been ignored. You cannot reach anyone directly, only leave messages and no one ever returns calls. The customer service number is 877-506-3411 and the rep supposedly assisting me is named Courtney and her extension is **.

I bought our 46-in TV from Best Buy on January 6, 2012. At 91 days, the right 1/4 of the screen went out. It's under warranty, and after many phone calls, the tech came out today, took one look at it, and said, "There's nothing i can do. RCA will contact you to replace it." I called (after having to look up the numbers myself) and had to leave a voice mail for someone to call me back. I was told by Best Buy that it will take 5 to 8 days to have someone contact me back.

I purchased this RCA TV model M50WH92S in 2008. After very little use (it is in our place in Florida), I noticed one white spot. This was after 2 years of owning it with very little use. I just got to Florida yesterday and the screen is covered with white stars. Very disappointed and now we are on our way to replace it. I will not be buying RCA products again.

I had a Jitterbug for 4 years and was very satisfied. Then GreatCall took over. My phone’s battery wouldn't last, so I called to replace it. I had insurance for this. They said I had to get Jitterbug J. Nothing but problems. I got it in July and have called about 20 times. When I open it, I can’t dial. Their advice? Take the battery out and replace. Voice mail has gone out 2 times. Now, the phone book keeps messing up. They suggest a new phone! It's only 8 months old and full price because it's been too soon since I used the insurance! So when I kept telling them what all was wrong, they responded, "Well, at least, if you take battery out, it fixes the problem.” Unbelievable.

One of the 19-inch TVs I ordered last December no longer shows a picture. After contacting Walmart and RCA, I am still stuck with a dead TV. My granddaughter's TV is working at the moment, so I must purchase a foreign-made TV for my grandson. The nerves of the RCA repairman attempting to get me to hire him to fix their poorly made product. My father's RCA company no longer exists. I will probably have to purchase a second TV soon.

My girlfriend saved her money to buy RCA 42” TV # 42LA45RQ. In 8.5 months, the screen started going black after a minute or two but the sound stays on. They want 38 dollars to answer me about it when it has a 1 year warranty. American manufacturing sucks.

We purchased an RCA back in 2006 and my projection lamp has gone out numerous times. When I first purchased the television, the screen went black and I did not get a picture. The TV was only 7 months old then. I contacted RCA and got the run around. They stated if the TV has TTE on the back of it, then they could not replace the bulb or TV. I searched and found the bulb myself and replaced it. Since then the bulb has gone out numerous times and is out now. I am upset that this is the experience from a company such as RCA.

RCA model 32V420T, code CA847. Sometimes, the TV set will not start or it will start and a few minutes later, will shut off by itself. If I keep turning it on again and again, about an hour later, it will stay on. The warranty of one year expired and one month later, this happened. I paid a technician to fix it for me and it worked fine for a couple of years. Now, it happened again. In my family, we always bought RCA TV sets because they used to be of real good quality. I still have my old 20" that I bought on 89 and it has never failed. It has been the most used TV set in my house and still is.

I have a four-device backlight keypad RCA universal remote. And just by putting in new batteries the snap on the battery cover does not work well anymore. Batteries keep falling out and then I have to reprogram the remote. I feel you guys owe me a new remote or I may stop purchasing RCA products. I like your company but was not happy with your remote.

I've purchased a 42'' RCA LCD TV Model# 42LA45R-A. Upon turning it on for the first time, it had a one inch line down one side of the screen. A technician was dispatched and I was told it could not be fixed. I was sent a new TV within ten days. The replacement TV lasted about 6 months before the screen went completely black in the middle of watching my favorite show. I would expect a new TV to last at least 5 years! It seems I'm having trouble making it to one year with this RCA.

I purchased the RT2770 surround sound system just before Christmas after doing extensive research to ensure that this was the surround system unit that I was looking for (my requirements were 1000 watts of power, optical inputs, and 8 ohms impedance). I took the system home and set it up. I didn’t really have time to listen to it until a week ago. I noticed that the speaker volumes were a bit low so I decided to investigate. As it turns out, the consol itself stated that the outputs on the speakers were 4 and 3 ohm, not 8 ohm as advertised on the RCA website (RCA in no way identifies this as a 3 and 4 ohm system, even customer service said it was an 8 ohm system).

I bought a 42" RCA LCD TV in 4/2011. Six months later, half the screen is black and it smells like something is burning.

I also purchased an RCA 52-inch rear projection TV. After one year the bulb went out. I paid over a $1000 for this TV. The bulb went out. I called and got the run around like the rest of you. I called RCA and they said they didn’t make the bulb anymore. I found a bulb on the internet and fixed it myself. It lasted another year. Now I have white dots. It started off with one dot. Now I have 50 dots. I to choose to by an RCA because I thought it was a good brand—wrong. I will be purchasing all Japanese products from now on. Then the US wonders why. I’m very upset with RCA.

I purchased an RCA 24" LED backlight LCD slim TV in November. I connected everything as required and turned it on. It was fine, but then I turned on the lights and the circuit blew. I had to unplug the surge strip before the circuit would reset. I tried another surge strip and the TV burned out yellow, white and red cable as well as the cable box. I took it back to Sears and exchanged it for another, same TV from RCA. I got a new cable box. I hooked it up with HDMI cables, activated box and it worked. Until I turned the lights on and the circuit blew again. Reset circuit plugged in surge strip and the TV blew, melted the HDMI connection completely. Smoke billowing out from TV.

Four years ago we spent $1000.00 to purchase a 50" DLP projection TV and first the projection lamp went 8 months after we bought it. Then the lamp went again I replaced it 8 months after the first bulb went. This Thanksgiving it started to develop white dots along each picture edge. Now it has over 70 white dots and shortly the white dots will white out the entire screen from what I have researched. RCA knew about these problems 5 years ago and has no intention of rectifying the problem because the light engine would have to be replaced. Guess what, I will never buy anything made by RCA and I will tell everyone that will listen, even the President if he would listen! Buy from American companies that have moved East and this is what you get!

I bought a 40 inch TV set (mod.L40FHD380) on 11/29/2008. About a year from that, I have colored vertical lines on the screen, and the tech said, it's the screen that went bad. It cost about $900 for the part. I called RCA, and they said there is no recall on this product. I checked the internet and it shows a lot of people with the same problem. RCA says they're not responsible, since it's out of warranty.

I have just purchased an RCA blue ray player from Walmart and it's a piece of **. The remote is made in China and doesn't work at all. What a piece of ** and I paid $150 USD for it. I hate it so much.

I purchased an RCA Home Theatre System from Walmart. I set it up and used it about 7 or 8 times but then it would not eject DVD's etc. The unit is a piece of crap!

I bought at RCA duel screen portable DVD player in June 2011 for our kids to use in the van on our summer vacation. We used it twice in August and we tried to use it on our Thanksgiving trip last week with no luck. The DVD player will not work and I do not have a receipt. The DVD player has a manufacture date of April 2011 and the manufacture warranty is for one year.

I bought a new high definition RCA television. I had problems within the first 6 months. The power supply went out, convergence filter, and finally a control board, which cost over $500 to acquire. These, apparently, have had issues, and it isn't worth fixing. This TV cost me over $1,800.00 new, and it only lasted a year! I replaced this television with a Sony, and have had no troubles. I will never buy an RCA product ever again!

I bought an RCA 42" LCD television, in April of this year (2011). About a 2 weeks ago, the screen went black. I could still get audio. When I turn the TV back on, the picture goes to black within a few seconds. This has been happening ever since. I called RCA warranty 800 number listed in the owners manual to receive service, Sears sent out a technician who was nice, and polite.

I bought an RCA 42" LCD television a little less than six months ago. About a week ago, the screen went black. I could still get audio but I would have to turn the TV off and on again to see a picture. When I turn the TV back on, the picture goes to black within a few minutes. This has been happening ever since. I called Sears, who I bought the TV from, because it was impossible to get in touch with anyone at RCA that would help, in fact, the only person I spoke with at RCA, told me to call Sears. Sears sent out a technician who was a nice enough fellow. He told me the problem was with the power supply, which he didn't have, and I should hear from RCA within 3 business days. It is Saturday morning, so I guess that means next Wednesday.

I purchased an RCA 50 inch TV almost 3 years ago. Soon as the warranty ran out, so did the TV. I went to the shop for 5 months and bulb was on back order. I got the TV back and had it for 2 months, same problem. I went back into the shop for another 3 months. I got the TV back, had it for 3 months, and the picture went out again. This time, it was a switch.

I bought a brand new 42" TV off the shelf. It was suggested by the salesperson that I purchase a maintenance agreement. I did. The TV had picture problems. Sears sent out a repairperson. He said that the problem is a known issue with computer boards in this brand of TV (RCA). He called the issue in and was told I was to get a new TV as the problem is not repairable. He told me to call if I didn't hear back from Sears in 10 days. I called and was transferred to the warranty department. They told me that I would have to pay an additional $143 dollars on top of the MA I had purchased in order to get the TV replaced.

I purchased a RCA portable DVD player on the 9th of August, 2011 for my toddler daughter's birthday and it has indeed been a nightmare. The DVD no longer shows a picture and it is 16 days after my purchase date. Therefore, I have to go through RCA for another DVD player because after 15 days after purchase, Wal-Mart no longer does the exchange. Now here is my big problem: I called RCA and got one of the rudest customer service reps ever. She kept getting sassy at the mouth because I needed to know who pays for the shipping, what needs to be included in the packing, etc. Well she acted as if she's tired and irritated. So, I asked for her name and she hung the phone up in my face after I told her she was a very rude rep.

Sears TV repair was here, but they couldn't even find a manual on this television. They couldn't fix it. I called RCA, and they said Sears is the only repair people they have in Laramie, Wyoming. My only option was to send the television to RCA. It would cost me less just to buy a television. It's so unfortunate that RCA does not stand behind their products. I will not be purchasing another RCA. I have an RCA Projection television that I purchased for $1,000 in 2007. I have replaced the halogen bulb and now my television stopped working once again. I believe it's the power supply, but I'm not the repair expert.

I purchased an RCA DLP television from Walmart in Tuscaloosa on 4/08. It worked for a while but started losing sound and picture in 7/09 and finally, went out in 9/09. After being told that my two-year warranty would not cover the bulb, I purchased one for two hundred and some dollars in 10/09. Once again, the bulb has went out within 18 to 20 months. This one has went out on 8/11 and calling to get information about this situation is just horrific. There is no one to talk to, you are forwarded from one 800 number to another without any avail. It is sickening.

I bought a 42-inch RCA PDP TV, and I had a problem with it. I also had bought a 2 year extended warranty. So, I called Sears and they made an appointment for me, so they could come and check the problem. The guy came and checked the TV. He didn't even turn it on. He put a light against the screen and said, "I don't know". I said, "you don't know what?" He told that he wasn't here, so he doesn't know what happen to my TV. I said that I already told him the problem, but he kept saying "I don't know" about 10 times, as if he was confused. So, he called in to report the problem and put the guy he's talking to on speaker so I could hear what he's saying. The guy asked him if it's fixable. He said no. So, the guy went on and said that it's not covered by warranty. I said, "What? Are you serious? The TV is still under manufacture warranty. I juts bought it not even a month ago. What the ** are you talking about?" Then he said that I have to deal with RCA because they are not going to get paid for this.

Shortly after buying my 42 inch and 32 inch Flat screens, I began having problems. With the 42 inch, the picture would suddenly go out. They repaired it. Next, my 32 inch started getting lines running through it. Now, I have no picture, except a small line at the top. The volume works well. I want to say I'm 59 years old. When I was growing up, we always bought RCAs. I always had great luck with them. It appears that the quality of your product has gone down the gutter. I’m sorry to complain, but I am so unhappy. The next question is: Is the TV worth having it repaired?

I bought a 61" HD Flat Screen RCA TV, model#hd61w66.

I bought an RCA TV that went out about six months later. It was covered under warranty and they sent me a brand new one. The second one went out (a board problem that I found out was very common) about 6 months later and they refuse to cover the warranty telling me any warranty one the second set is under the timeline of the first, which is one year. Please let me know if there is any class action law suits planned.

I purchased a CD music player that was missing an adapter. I faxed all information as they requested. Andrew left me a message that the adapter would be shipped in 7 to 12 days. I called again and was told the order was never put through. They connected me to Andrew, who was overly rude and very unhelpful, and said he never made a mistake. He will not send me an e-mail verification because he feels like he does not need to help. He has already done his job.

I started out with a 46-inch RCA, it lasted about 6 months. After 2 weeks of trying to find someone to fix it and getting the run around from Wal-Mart, they finally refunded my money. So then I bought a Sanyo P46848, it lasted about two years and the right side of the screen started to go black. I paid $1200 dollars for that piece of junk. It's now sitting in my living room looking at the Vizio I just replaced it with! Another $800! Thank you Vizio, so far you have a nice TV. I will neither buy an RCA nor a Sanyo product again!

I purchased an RCA television about 3 years ago to be used in the family room. We shut it off one night and it just never turned on again. I do not have the finances to purchase a new one. I called RCA technical support, they told me to call another number which the office is never open! I just got off the phone with a repair man and he told me there is no repair manual for these televisions, and there are only 2 places in the United states you can get parts! I think it is awful that while researching this problem, there are hundreds of complaints on the computer about the same problem and no one has made them correct it or do a recall free of charge to people who purchased these televisions, and make RCA fix the problems in their product.

Purchased a 50 inch RCA in 2008. I can hear the sound but no picture. I have purchased a new lamp for the TV which cost over $80 still no picture. I paid almost $900 for this TV and cannot believe that it is not working. This TV is located in my formal living room and the family is never in that room, consequently, the TV has been used very little. Contacted the service numbers listed for RCA no longer in service. This is horrible service.

I bought a RCA LCD 40 inch TV and entertainment set from Walmart's web site. I had the TV for 14 months. One day I turned it on and the screen showed for a second and went black. All it plays is sound. I called them and all they could say was that it was out of warranty, which was 12 months and that they would come out for 99 dollars plus however much it would cost to fix the TV.

We bought an RCA DVD Home Theater System a few months back. We haven't used it but just a handful of times and now the thing won't turn on. The blue standby light is on, so I know it is getting power. When it first started doing that, we unplugged it and plugged it back in and it would finally come on but that no longer works.

I purchased an RCA RTB-1100 Blu Ray Home Theatre in a box system and no matter how new or undamaged a DVD or Blu Ray is, the player will either freeze on you, the sound cuts out for about 3-5 seconds every 5 minutes and the controls on the remote lag is extremely bad. I only hope that Sears will take the thing back since it has been over 30 days.

The warranty is off on a 3-year old 32" model (I26WD26D). Like other complaints I have read, the picture turned black and had lines. For a time, it came on and then nothing. I bought RCA because of the name of the product. USA should be more responsible for what they distribute, and Walmart for what it sells.

I purchased a 46-inch TV in 1/30/10. It stopped working in 8/12/10. I called RCA because it is still under warranty. They sent a tech to my house to get the part and send back to the manufacturer for repair. Every time I call them, it is a different story. No one knows where the part is. I am sick and tired of the runaround. All I want is my money back. I don't want the TV. This has been going on since September. Please help!

Our TV went blank over a month ago. It was purchased less than two years ago. We tried everything including calling customer service. Either the number was busy or nobody answered. Finally, I got a customer service rep in the Philippines who told me to go to a local RCA service place. We have none. Everyplace we go tells us it has to be sent out and it will cost us just about as much to fix it as we paid for it. This, according to what we've read on the computer, is an all too common problem with this particular TV. RCA should be at least partially responsible.

I saved for 3 years and bought a RCA Flat Screen TV and now it turns itself on and off and then won't come back on for a month. I am a senior citizen and this was to be the last TV I planned to every buy. I chose RCA because I thought they would stand behind their product better than a foreign model. I will warn all my neighbors in my senior complex, friends and family to avoid RCA.

We purchased a 46-inch RCA on Oct. 6. By June 2010, it had no picture, only sound. I tried to take it back to Wal-Mart but said only 30 days. I have been calling RCA warranty for 5 months and still have no answer of what they are going to do. This is the worst service I have ever seen in my life. RCA should be ashamed. I have been telling everyone I know to never buy RCA.

I got a RCA big screen TV and paid $1200 for it. It worked for 2 years and hasn't worked since. Nobody will work on it and they said they don't work on RCA. It was a big ripoff as it's been sitting in my back room for 3 years now.

I bought a 42 inch LCD flat hHD TV on Dec. 31, 2007. Worked fine until Oct. 8th, 2010, screen went black, we have sound. Called RCA but to no avail this is pretty bad service after you spend $1030 for two years viewing.

I have bought 2 RCA TVs. Within the last 2 years, the first one had burn streaks running down the middle of the TV. The second one started making this awful buzzing noise. I had no problem getting a refund on the first TV with the previous owners of the company, but with the second TV, TTE tech support is awful. They treat you like crap and then they lead you on for months about what is going on with the TV that you bought with the money that you earned. I can tell you that from this experience, I will never deal with RCA again. When I asked to speak to a person higher up than the supervisor, I was told that there wasn't anyone higher up and good luck with getting anything done on your TV. Wow, that's the kind of people I want working in my company. One other thing, all the contact corporate information I found was out of Japan. How great is that?

Until this month, all I owned were RCA products (televisions, VCRs and DVD players). They were all good machines with cool features—and all worked very well until I purchased an RCA Scenium (L32wd250) about three years ago. The side inputs stopped working about 6 months ago. I took it to Best Buy last week and they said they couldn't fix it. Now I'm stuck with a television that I paid over $800 and barely worked 2.5 years. This is outrageous!

I paid $1000 for my RCA. It started by being hard to turn on. The green light flashes now and won't come on. Let's see if this site posts this. They use pop-ups, give them ** information.

I have two RCA TVs and both are not working. One is a 50" flat screen and the other one is a 32" flat screen. The 32" TV was the last one I bought and the first one to go out! Both TVs were purchased within the last 3 years. I know TVs are supposed to last longer than that! I am very upset because I have lost a lot of money and I thought RCA was a good brand. Boy, was I wrong! Both TVs are in excellent condition, like brand new. I have lost money that I really didn't have to lose! I thought I was getting TVs that would last me a long time.

We bought an RCA Scenium TV and did buy warranty. The TV was made in 2003. Of course, just after the warranty ran out, the sound went out. We had a repairman come to see what the problem was and it was one of the mother boards. He told us it would be over $500.00 and it still may not work. Now all of a sudden, it has started turning itself off. Now it won’t even come on. We bought this TV less than 6 years ago and paid over $2500.00 for it. You would think that RCA would stand behind their big ticket items and have parts to repair them.

I purchased a 32" RCA flatscreen TV in 2006 from WalMart, Abdn.,70 miles round trip. Set it up myself, no easy feat for a senior, could not turn it on--blank green sensor eye. WalMart said, bring it back same day I did so, unplugging, hauling back, they replaced with a new one. Back home, set up new TV. 3 years later, when turned on, a green screen & clicking noise from green "on" sensor eye. Took an 1 hour to receive reception each time it was turned off then back on. I "solved" the problem by leaving the darn thing on. For nearly another year, by muting instead of turning off! RCA going "green" to the extreme.

I paid over $3,000 for the TV and owned it two years. I purchased no warranty, yet, I feel that a TV lasting four years is not right. RCA only could say they were sorry. After reading all the complaints on the internet about RCA TVs, I feel there needs to be a class action lawsuit against them.

I bought a RCA 32 inch combo LCD TV(L32hd35d) on September 12th, and a month and a half later, I have no picture but do have sound. My warranty was only 30 days so I am out $360 and from what I have read there's not much I can do. This really **** me off. Don't buy RCA, their products are terrible.

We bought an RCA television at Wal-Mart for 800 dollars. After 11 months, the picture went black and it was still under warranty and after contacting them every day for months, they finally agreed to replace it with a bigger TV having the same model. I was so happy. We had that TV for 10 months and the picture went black again. I called the service number they gave me and the man said he would not renew his contract with them because of poor service with them. I'm out of the money and out of a television. How can they get away with this? We will never buy their product again. Buyer beware.

I bought dual screen RCA 7 inch portable DVD player in May 2010 for my one year old birthday and after 4 months the DVD player started skipping one day and then stopped working. Every time I put a DVD in it says No Disc. Bought product from Target and noticed there are numerous complaints about this product.

I purchased my RCA LCD HD TV Model L32WD22 about 2 1/2 years ago and one day it just stopped working. No picture no sound, nothing! I paid $782.00 including tax for this TV and would've purchased a cheaper brand, but I thought I was making a good purchase by going with RCA which I thought was a good "name".

I purchased an RCA Home Theater System (RTD315W) in January 2010 from Wal-Mart. The DVD player stopped working in Sept. 2010. The blue "on" light appears, then disappears, and the system does not respond manually or by remote. I located the warranty information on the internet and called Alcor Electronics. They instructed me to send the unit to Venture Electronics, in Buffalo, New York for repair! I am required to pay the shipping cost.

I purchased this HD TV model number **** at WalMart less than 2 years ago. It was not heavily used. It cost $686.00. The picture and sound went out. It will cost $486 to be repaired. My local WalMart no longer carries RCA TVs. It was actually made by TTE technology in Thailand for RCA. Last week the screen and the sound went out.

I purchased a 32-inch flat screen TV just over a year ago. Now, about 1/4 of the screen is very dark with lines running through it. I just called a TV repairman and he said it would be better to buy a new one. I don't know about anyone else but I can't afford $500.00 a year for a TV. I thought RCA was supposed to have good products and that is why I spent a little more on the TV thinking it would at least last a few years. I was wrong. I am on a limited income and I just can't afford to buy another one at this time.

We purchased a TV model L40FHD41 a year ago, September 9th. It stopped working about a month ago (August). It is used approximately 4-6 hours per week. It was last in use about 2 months ago. We went to turn it on and now it does not work. We did the 'reset' (unplug for 10 minutes), but that did not work. We have gone to RCA's website and sent 3 messages, but they have not replied. We are now out of warranty. We would like a replacement. The authorized repair shops RCA lists are about 2 hours away, and when called, the numbers are disconnected. We purchased the TV for about $500. Now we have no TV and are out of $500. I wish we would have put it in our IRAs.

I bought a 32 inch flat screen TV. I have had it for a month and 2 weeks. I am 2 weeks shy of getting a refund of course. The sound is ok but the screen is black. This is unfair I paid $350.00 for this TV and I don't have a lot of money. Now I have a TV that doesn't work and no money to get another.

After using RCA TV model L32HD35D for 3-4 months, the screen went black. I notified Carrie, she took all ID info, requested my receipt, & I asked her to email me so I could email my receipt. She didn't do it. I sent receipt to email address above on 8/18/10 and she answered that she would have her supervisor check it out and will contact me. No answer 20 days later.

I purchased a 32" RCA LCD TV from Wal-Mart about two years ago. I was very happy with it and when I saw a refurbished one of the same model at Big Lots about seven months later, I picked it up. The refurb went (no sound or picture) after about 1 year. I chalked it up to "things break" and replaced it with a Philips without much grief or bad feelings about RCA. I didn't even try to get it fixed. But now, the one I purchased brand new at Wal-Mart (which is now two years old) has gone bad with the exact same symptoms.

I bought an RCA flat screen TV on December 28, 2008 with model number L32HD31. As of August 12, 2010, the screen went blank. I only have sound. I called RCA and the message I got was, ‘Thank you, Good bye’. RCA products suck. So don't anyone buy any thing that has the RCA name on it. They do not stand behind their products.

I purchased a 32 min flat screen RCA TV, model L32HD32D from Wal-Mart, and I only had it over a year. The picture went out, but it has sound. I contacted RCA, and they referred me to two repair places that I couldn't never get by phone or going by their place. I finally got one who said they only do appointments at my home. So I decided to find another repair on my on, then I was told that the TV would cost more to fix it than it would to buy a new TV. This is the first time I've purchased a RCA TV, and the last. That's far too much money to put into something that doesn't last. Hopefully, the company will not last either.

My TV screen went black 91 days after its purchase, just one day after the limited 90-day warranty ran out. RCA will not fix the TV. They want me to pay for shipping the TV to CA and pay for labor! That will cost more than the 32" LCD TV cost! This is ridiculous! The TV was used rarely as it was in my vacation home. What a poor quality and what a poor customer service. Shame on them! I am out $400.

Bought $400 LCD TV 4 months ago. TV screen went black. Sound is fine. RCA technician says "faulty circuit board." Will not pay to repair. They say I must pay for shipping to and from Ontario California and pay for repair. TV is 4 months old! I can buy a new TV for what shipping and repair will cost! Total rip off. Again, TV is 4 months old. Shame on RCA. I'm out $400!

Purchased RCA Model L32HD35D TV. 10 Months ago picture went out. RCA will not stand behind their product and wants 129.00 plus shipping to repair. I expect more than 10 months service out of a 500.00 TV. Would like to protect other consumers from RCA Corp. They are not customer friendly and have knowledge of this models defects. RCA does not stand behind their products and intentionally mislead consumers with a faulty warranty that has additional cost built-in. Basically RCA has already got your money and that is all that matters to RCA. Their customer Service is one of indifference.

I purchased an RCA 52" HDTV model R52WH74 from Walmart 3 years ago after much scrimping and saving. The TV worked great for the past 3 years. It didn’t have problem until about a month ago when the screen went black and there were color bars on it. We get 3 green blinks on power button and nothing. RCA doesn't seem to care after speaking with rep. Naturally, the TV is no longer under warranty. To have it repaired, it would cost at the least $400 as we were told it's the power board. I don't have the extra $400 to shell out.

I am posting this for a friend who had this experience with an RCA HD TV. It was purchased last 3-28-10 for $428.00 and this unit is an L32HD35D with DVD player, serial#J382E403C. It worked fine for about 60 days then it started acting up, the picture came and went. Now the only thing that works is the DVD sound. There's no picture of any kind, the remote will only operate the volume, mute and stop on the DVD. I am telling everyone I know and also people I don't know to not buy an RCA product of any kind. They will not stand behind the items they sell at Walmart and RCA only wants you to spend more money to fix their problems. This TV is still under warranty, but they want the customer to pay for shipping to and from their facility. This was their piece of ** to begin with, and I'm sick of the runaround!

We bought an RCA DLP 52" TV a year and a half ago, and have had nothing but trouble. First the picture went out after 6 months, we had to replace it. It still had a warranty, but we had to pay for shipping/handling and it was a pain. Then after about another 6 months, the picture went out again. We paid for that out of pocket.

I also bought RCA at WalMart. Now, I have less than 3 years on it and the 32-inch flat screen has sound but no picture.

I purchased an RCA l32wd12 HDTV on July 1, 2009. 1 year and 20 days later, I can’t receive any channels and I can’t reset the unit per their instructions. They said that it is out of warranty and I need to call the local TV shop. The local shop said it is not worth repairing. They charged me $79.00 to check it out and it was a bad CPU. That’s the last $635.00 RCA gets from me and I hope that they get no more sales to everyone who reads this. The unit still works as a computer monitor though.

I bought an RCA 40" LCD HDTV also, and have the same complaint as everyone else! How can you spend close to $600 for a new television and have it hit the bed a year later? This is ridiculous!

This TV, RCA HD61LPW42, 61 in. HDTV DLP, is in our recreation room. It probably has less than 200 hours on it. I replaced the bulb once, and it worked fine. The new bulb has less than 100 hours on it, and it is already dead! I have a Mitsubishi big screen in the family room, and that TV has thousands of hours on it, and I've only had to replace the bulb once. When I try to get technical help, everyone wants money to talk to me. How do you get good service through this company? I'll buy a new Mitsubishi to replace this one before I pay someone to talk to me. They are unreal!

I purchased a 40" RCA LCD in February 2010. In June 2010, TV picture went out. I can hear the TV but no picture. As I was already having a bad experience with Wal-mart and their warranties on a camera, I didn't feel it was worth the time to try and fight a losing battle. This is very sad! I am a mother of 7 young children who cannot afford to just throw $500.00 away. I did not realize how many people have been ripped off by RCA. Shame of you, RCA & Wal-mart! I hope we can get some type of compensation from these cheating thieves! Thank you for hearing me out. RCA, no more for this family!

RCA model L32HD35D television has no picture after 6 months of average use. Online research suggests this is a common problem with this model. RCA "warranty" requires me to pay $50 to ship the unit to Ohio then pay a $129.99 service charge to fix or replace my 6 month old $399.00 television. Absolutely outrageous!

The 52" LCD TV bought at Walmart lasted 11/2 years out of warranty. According to a very trusted and well known repair shop, it would cost more to fix than to buy another one. And worse of all, there were 3 in the shop the same week, all the same models with the same problem. Nothing but trash. Worse off to save landfill space, I put it up on eBay for a small amount; obviously it's nowhere near what I paid and this person had the knowledge to actually fix it and said it works great.

I purchased an RCA LCD model #L42WD250YX6 almost a year ago from Walmart. After I called them, they told me to call the RCA company. We did that. After all the runaround, the RCA company said they wouldn't replace it and that I needed to take it to a "local repair shop". So in other words, you need to buy another TV because we aren't going to replace yours. What type of business are they running? However, they don't have to worry because I will never purchase another RCA product as long as I live. I hope that Walmart will stop selling their products because in the long run, they are going to be the ones that will suffer because of all the returns/complaints about the product and the ** customer service that RCA provides.

I purchased a 42" LCD TV from Wal-Mart in 2008. After 1 year, the picture went black. Still, it had no sound. I called RCA. Warranty just runs out. I took it to RCA repair shop. He replaced some module and now June 2010, TV went out again with exact same problem. Never purchase a RCA flat screen TV of any kind.

I purchased a 52" from Wal-Mart and after 2 years of having the TV went out. Me and my son were watching TV one day and all of a sudden without warning, went out. A few days before my father came to visit; I was so embarrassed to say "I don't have a TV". I then called RCA which gave me a repair place in my area, which I called. They came out and said it was a bulb, which turned out to be some kind of module that they were unable to locate. The guy than said to me the part needed is not a part that is sold.

I bought a 32-inch flat panel TV on June 26, 2009. Here it is June 17, 2010; and my TV does not get picture and barely sound. When we called RCA, they told us to fax over our receipt, which we did. Here it is 5 days later, no response. We keep calling the same numbers, but no help. We have a receipt. What is the problem? I'm thinking of a class action lawsuit, because there are too many complaints about this same brand model and year! (I lost out on $400.)

I bought my 32" RCA television in April 2009. All of a sudden, no picture and no sound. Nothing! I have read 100s of the same complaints that have been filed. I think RCA should compensate people for this problem.

I bought an RCA 40-inch LCD TV from Walmart on 5-20-09. On 6-2-10, just before the Lakers and Celtics GM1 of the finals, my TV started blinking on and off. After about 5 minutes, it just went black. I called Walmart and RCA and got the runaround. I found my receipt the next day and faxed it to them and was told I didn't purchase the warranty. I told them that when I called. They gave me a number to a supervisor that I will use come Monday morning. How can my TV break down a week after the warranty ran out? This TV has never given me any problems until that day. Just for it to stop working like that, right after the warranty ran out just baffles me. How can RCA get away with this? They are no better than the everyday common criminals i.e. drug dealers and thieves. We need to put a stop to this because it is ridiculous. Selling junk that they know is junk and then give you the runaround when you try to get compensated.

I bought a 32" RCA TV/DVD combo on Feb. 13, 2010 and it had no picture by May 31, 2010. I will turn it on and have a picture for a second then it went black. It still have sound. So it's an over-sized radio at this point. I'm done jumping through hoops. This guy is right on Davis of Wesson, MS. RCA Service Company, Hometown, IL 60456.

I purchased a RCA model#L32HD32D TV / DVD combo at Walmart on 04/25/2009. After 13 months, it dies, I called RCA got the jerk around, unplug it, plug in. Does it work after that three phone calls, later I get sent to RCA's tyre two phone center that tells me the mother board is bad, nothing RCA can do. Call a repair guy, call the repair guy, the part is $250.00 and one hour labor min. $89.00.

I have a 52 inch TV model hd52w67 that will no longer turn on. If you push power a green light flashes 3 times and makes a hissing sound with no picture and then turns off. Chassis ITC222A. I have a large television with no purpose and cannot afford to repair/replace it.

We have purchased two TV in the last 2 years and both have gone out in a 6 months period and bet you they will never get my money again and customer service is bad. My TV was on last night. Then we returned home to turn the TV on, the TV has no screen and power.

I too have had a very long ordeal with RCA. I purchased a p42wdh500 in 2008. Within six months, it was having problems then before the one year warranty ran out, I tried to get it fixed. They were unable to fix it. Then I ask that they exchange it after three months. They were still out of stock for 46 inch televisions. I then ask to be reimbursed the full amount I was charged. The lady I talked to said that she would approve the reimbursement and forward on to the corporate office and a check would be out within two weeks. Now the check is in the fraud department for review. This has taken six months at this point. I would suggest that we start finding out how many people are having the same problems and go after them with a class action lawsuit. Please respond if you are interested.

They would not make good on the 52-inch TV. Almost all the TV model D52W19 have been dumped at a landfill. A loss of $1,500.00 after 3 years of use on this TV.

I purchased a 33" LCD Flat screen TV less than 2 years ago. I hardly used the TV as I am single and had a TV in my room. Well, one day it just wouldn't turn on, no sound, no picture nothing. I just took it in to be repaired the repair guy called me today told me the converter went and he couldn't get the part. The converter went bad. Now I am out the price of the TV which wasn't cheap at that time around $600 + plus the money to look at TV and the TV can't be fixed. It's being junked by TV guy for me.

I bought an RCA TV on November 2, 2009, and two days ago, the TV lost picture. There was only sound. My TV is only 6 months old now. As usual, they gave me a runaround, and wanted me to pay $129.00 for labor. Level 2 support told me that my TV has only 90 days labor warranty. The RCA website says there is limited warranty for 12 months. I sent them the website. They still tell me that labor is not under warranty. I tried to read the warranty from the web site. Level 2 support would not listen to me, and told me if I do not listen to him, he will hang up on me. I experienced economic loss of about $500.00, two days of mental stress and agony, and the TV is still there worthless.

I bought 32" RCA flat panel TV in Feb. 2009. After six months, the power would go off only minutes after I would turn it on. This happened several times until it finally would not turn on at all. Unfortunately, I did not buy extended warranty. I called the manufacturer's customer support line who gave me names to local RCA repair shops. The closest shop was located over an hour away in which I was never able to talk to anyone there but the answering machine. After time, I just considered my loss and will never buy an RCA TV again.

We bought a 32"TV from Walmart. It broke. It needed a new panel. RCA does not make panels for the flat screens anymore. We went through our extended warranty that we purchased with the TV. They received our TV in March 5, 2010. On March 19, 2010 at 10:35, Becky said they ordered a new panel. On March 30, 2010, Jessica said at 6:01pm RCA does not make the panels and they would refund us our money of $375.24, and it would be here in 7 to 10 days excluding weekends and holidays. We then spoke on April 10 with Malecia and Alecia. They said it takes 10 to 15 days excluding holidays and weekends. The only holiday in April fell on a Sunday so it doesn't count.

I purchased an RCA 32 inch LCD TV in 2008. Two months later, it went out, no picture. I sent it to Socorro, TX for repair. They shipped it back. It went out again two months ago (March 2010). I took it to a local repair shop and they were not able to find a part #271709. I went online and thought I found the part only to find it's no longer available. It's sad. We are tired of getting gouged. Please help.

I bought 61" HD61LPW42 in January 2004. In January 2005, the TV made buzzing noise and RCA told us to locate a dealer (TV was still under warranty). The repairman stated the TV needs a color wheel but once it was installed, the repairman stated the housing was crooked.

I purchased a 42 inch LCD RCA TV from Walmart in Oct. and bought the extended warranty. The picture died about a month ago. We called customer service and had to have it sent up to the next level. The next level said they would send out a part and then have someone come to install it. The part arrived almost three weeks later. When we called Ohio again, they then discovered that they have no repair people in Newfoundland so they would need to send out a new TV but first a supervisor would call us in 24 - 48 hours. That was on the 23rd.

We bought a 46" TV from Walmart in June 2009. It stopped working about three days after we got it. It took several months to get the problem taken care of. We had to go through RCA or Thomson or something because we didn't get any of the Walmart warranty stuff and they had been running a sale that apparently all sales were final.

I bought a 46" LCD RCA TV from Walmart in June 2007. After 3 months, the sound went out. It took 6 months of phone calls and emails, but someone finally came and took away the old TV and gave us a new one. Now about 2 years later, gray horizontal lines have appeared on the TV screen particularly around the edges. Obviously, this replacement set is no good either. The model number is 46WD250WX11. A TV should last more than 2 years. This is just ridiculous and with so many people hurting for money right now, me included, something should be done.

I purchased a 42" LCD television from Wal-Mart in Aug. 2008 and have been told both inverters are no good and need to be replaced. This is absolutely ridiculous. What happened to the television sets that lasted 15 + years? Of course, the warranty is up. Why would they honor a warranty for something that isn’t going to last over one year?! I am very dissatisfied with the service from this company and I am still waiting to have a call back from a manager of RCA.

Two and a half years ago, I bought a 46 inches LCD from Walmart for $1,400.00. Now, it don't work and is out of warranty. It will cost $1,300.00 to repair. I need to replace my TV; two and a half years at $1,400.00 is bad on RCA. I will not buy another RCA product.

I bought an RCA 42" LCD TV from Walmart and have had it no more than 2 years. I have had minor problems out of it for the past year shutting off, freezing up and things like that. Recently, all of a sudden we turned it on and it worked for about 10 minutes and then the screen went dark. It has power and we can hear sound but there is no picture. I paid over $1,000 for it 2 years ago. I will not buy another RCA or any TV from Walmart again.

I purchased a 37" l37wd22yx5 HDTV from an RCA dealer. Six months later, it just showed unusable signal on the screen. At the time, I still had remaining warranty but they were making me jump through hopes proving purchase date and going over frustrating things repeatedly for me to try to fix it. I would rather move a ton of bricks then do something electronically.

Bought a RCA 42" LCD TV from Walmart less than two years ago. The main board went out and now I am stuck with this P.O.S. I paid over $1000 for this and had to go out and buy a new TV yesterday because it was cheaper than having the RCA fixed. Do not buy RCA! I paid $1000 dollars for this TV less than two years ago.

I purchased a 32 LCD/DVD TV from Wal-Mart. After 5 months it stopped working, no power. The labor warranty is only for 90 days. It will cost me $50.00 to have it shipped back to RCA and $130.00 labor to see if they can fix it; then the parts are covered if they determine I am not at fault for it not working. I took it to the local licensed repair shop listed on their website and was told that if they fix it the warranty is not any good. They said the power module is out after only 5 months. I can't afford to send it to RCA and risk them not fixing it and being out all that money, so now I will have to pay the local shop to fix it and pay for the parts. Why have a warranty if it doesn't cover the TV? I also will never buy another RCA product at Wal-Mart or anywhere else.

I purchased an RCA (model # 32V434T) from Wal-Mart, less than 4 years ago. Two days ago, the TV just stopped working. I have unplugged it, and tried different plugs. I called RCA, and they were of no help, since my 1 year warranty is up. I have since researched and found that, RCA sends their reject televisions to Wal-Mart for about $100 a set. This is the scam of all scams! Buyers, beware. I personally will never buy RCA products again, nor will I spend my hard earned money at Wal-Mart. Someone really needs to get a class action suit going. I will be more than happy to help. This TV cost me more than $700, and did not last 5 years. It was horrible!

I also purchased a RCA 32" LCD HDTV flat panel TV from Wal-Mart 12/2008 and was very happy with the product at first. The left speaker had a rattle that was only got worse with time and then the sound just goes out and you have to change channels to get it back and there is a clicking sound and the volume goes up by itself. I purchased an extended 2-year warranty to protect my 500.00 investment and was not told of Wal-Mart's 90 day only warranty. I only had this TV for 13 months.

We purchased a 52" RCA HDTV from Wal-Mart in 2005. About a year ago, the TV just stopped working. While we were watching TV, it just shut off and the power light just kept blinking. I could hear a "click-click" sound like the TV was trying to power back on, but nothing. We moved the TV in to the garage and a few months later, we just tried to turn it on to see what would happen. It worked! So, we moved back in to the living room and we had our TV back for a few days! After about four days, it shut down and did the same thing! I am at a loss as to what to do! I have called a few TV repair shops and am thinking about getting it fixed because it may be cheaper than buying a new TV.

I bought a 32-inch RCA LCD TV with built in DVD player from Wal-Mart for my new home. I paid about $350 for it when it was advertised on sale. I kept the TV in its box for 3 months until my new home was completed, then started using it. After 50 days of use the picture went out! I called RCA and since it was past the 90-day parts and labor warranty, they told me I'd have to pay to have it serviced, which would cost about $250. I scrapped the TV and will never ever buy another RCA product again! I spent hard earned money on a TV that lasted me less than two months of use!

Purchased RCA 32" LCD HDTV Dec. 27, 2008. Feb. 17, 2010, vertical lines similar to bar code appeared on screen and fade in and out. Warranty on TV has expired. Contacted RCA Customer Service and was given a fax number to fax in my proof of purchase and was given a different phone to call within 3-4 hours after faxing. Did so (each time waiting for about 30 minutes on hold) and was told hadn't received my proof of purchase and nothing they could do until it was entered into the warranty database.

I try to get a basic question answered. Like why my TV stopped working, just turn it off and will not come back on. They will not give me an answer and they charge me.

I have looked at almost everyone of the complaints on here and they almost all have one thing in common. Looks like most of the defective TV's were bought at Wal-Mart and they will not help us get taken care of. I personally, have stopped doing business with Wal-Mart because of their lack on caring. You can't tell me that Wal-Mart doesn't know what is happening! My repair shop have told me Wal-Mart pays like $100.00 for the 32" TV's.

We bought a 32-inch RCA HD at Walmart for over $500.00. Eighteen months later the picture went out. I contacted RCA to see if the warranty was still in effect. They told me I only had a year. It is sad that a TV will only last one year. We took it to a repair shop, they said there were two boxes that needed to be replaced and would cost $600.00 to replace. That's more than the TV cost. I think RCA should replace the TV at no charge. I will never buy another RCA product. They are not customer satisfaction guaranteed. The two power boxes have to be replaced due to the faulty equipment.

I have read some of the complaints on the same RCA 52 HDTV I have. It goes off and tries to come back on 3 times and never comes on. You should make it public to the buyers of these TVs because I am out of $6000. I think you, RCA, should be responsible and replace the TVs.

RCA 52" HDTV won't stay on and turns off/on 3 times. Now, it won't turn on at all. I took it for repairs ($260) and they had eleven, yes, 11 of the same models in the shop with the same problem. Yes, I asked. Shouldn't RCA take some responsibility for their products? What about a recall or reimbursement? RCA is not what it used to be and I will never purchase another one of their products. This TV is only 3 years old!

I received RCA model 24v414t, as gift from son. It was purchased at WalMart. It worked for 4 to 6 months, then just went dead. I put the TV aside, to later get itfixed etc., and purchased another TV at Walmart. After about 6 months, I took it to a TV repairman. He said it cannot be repaired, no schematic of parts available for this TV, Mfg. Date 01/08. He said these type of TVs were built exclusively for WalMart. I called first person from RCA (Dan @866-850-8845); he told me to get copy of RO and fax in (claim #1365411). I did this.

I bought a 37" HDTV from Walmart two years ago and recently after the warranty ran out it won't turn on. This is what I call a rip-off. The TV costs like $1,100 and I at least thought we would enjoy it longer than that.

I purchased an RCA flat screen from Wal-Mart almost 3 years ago. The warranty is out, of course! Color bars of different colors appear down the middle of my screen. It has been doing this for over 6 months now. I called RCA. Out of warranty. Had cable come out and CK their cables. It is the TV. I can't afford a new one. This one costs over $700 and should last longer than this. This is about $230.00 per year to use this TV. Help!

I bought 2 RCA TV's at the same time, after 2 years of very seldom use, the TV's turn off and on by themselves, DVD ejects by its self all the time as well. I purchased a Mitsubishi, and now I have no picture - sound is great. I guess I'll go back to Sanyo. Sorry for your bad luck RCA!

I had purchased an RCA 52" TV approximately 2 years ago (model HD52W59). The power comes on then off. It will turn on 3 times anywhere from 4-10 seconds each. I have been trying to find a way to fix it online, but all I find are many others that have nothing but problems. The same problem I'm having with the TV. My fiance's parents also own one. From day one of getting this TV, their picture is blurry.

I bought a 32-inch TV about 2 years ago. It was working fine, but now I have no sound or picture. Christmas was yesterday and I can't afford another TV now. Trying to get this fixed is a joke. I grew up with all RCA products and they were great. I will never buy another RCA product again.

I purchased an RCA television from Walmart about 6 or 7 months ago, but I'm exact on that. Anyway it was a 27-inch flat panel TV. I was watching TV and all of a sudden there was FPA lock code that appeared on my TV. The TV will not work now. I turned the TV on now and all it shows is the FPA lock code on. It won't show anything else but that. I have contacted your technicians online and on the phone, but I haven't gotten any satisfaction out of you all. I have tried to talked to one representative and they hung the phone up on me. Your representatives hasn't been too pleasant to deal with. I understand they're frustrated as well as I am, but you have to still be professional about all situations. I'm frustrated because I purchased a $350 RCA TV that doesn't work anymore. I normally don't purchase RCA and this was the first time. I never had anything against them, but I thought I would try.

I get from 3 to 17 channels; it varies daily. Is there any way to make it constant? Or is it a way to force paid TV.

In 2008, I bought an RCA 32" TV from Wal-Mart. In Oct. of this year, the sound went out. I called the 877 number and was told to fax copy of my receipt. After many phone calls to TTE, long holding on the phone (30+ minutes at a time), they finally agreed to send me a new 32" TV after I packed and shipped mine to them (out of warranty price $198.95). It costs me $50+ packing and shipping by UPS. The TV cost $714 originally so far. I have spent over $900. Last week, another TV arrived. I set it up, only to find there is a ripple effect down the middle of the picture. I called TTE/RCA again and they admitted they replace TV's rather than fixing them as there are no spare parts in the USA! They would ship me another TV after I send this one back incidentally for a further amount of $99.95.

My husband bought an RCA TV from Walmart. Six months later, the inputs for video and sound stopped working. We could not return it to Walmart because their 90-day return policy ended. Walmart told us to call RCA. My husband called RCA's warranty department and made a claim. They said that they would send out shipping label for us to return the TV (they said it could take up to a month). Two months later, my husband called back, and the warranty department said they would send it out again. The label went to the wrong address because we moved. My husband called again and RCA said they would send out another label. We were going back and forth and this continued for a year. Then, the warranty company went out of business. The new warranty company said they would honor my husband's claim. For the last 9 months to a year, they kept saying they would send out a label and they never did. Now, they are saying they won't honor the claim because it is too old.

I bought an RCA television approximately three years ago. It cost me $850.00. Now ever since the warranty ran out, it has given me nothing but headaches. I have phoned the company and got no help or support. They will tell you to take it to the repair shop, but there is none here in my area. It is a shame to pay so much for a product that is not up to standards and is awful. It is basically an expensive piece of junk. I will never buy another RCA product and would not advise anyone else to buy one either. I am disabled and saved for many months to buy this television. Now I have no television at all.

I purchased a 42" TV from Wal-Mart on Black Friday of last year. The TV has been blank for 2 months, meaning the TV was in service for a total of 10 months. I have contacted RCA several times waiting on hold for 30 plus minutes at a time just to speak with a person. Each conversation with the company, the rules would change. Four different times they said my TV was in route for replacement, but it would take 7 to 10 business days. Each time I called after the 10 business days and they said, “Oh, I'm sorry I will have to release this information,” and they would tell me it will be 7 to 10 business days again. I finally got tired of this and said I would like to speak to a supervisor.

In Nov. 2007, my husband and I upgraded to our first big screen TV. We purchased from our local Wal-Mart a 55" flat screen. My husband was thrilled. In Feb. 2008 (three months later), when we turned the TV on, the picture was all distorted. It looked like perfect squares mixed with blobs of color. Within days, the TV would come on for a few seconds then a black screen for minutes, while the power button made a clicking noise and flashed. I notified RCA (rep. informed me this is a very common issue with the TV) and was told the main brain of the TV was out. I asked how this could happen in a 3-month period. I was told it happens all the time, more than likely from when the TV had been shipped.

After 8 weeks of trying to get the TV under the one year warranty fixed, I spoke to a gentleman named Tony. He said email and fax couldn't be read, proof of purchase couldn't be read. I asked to speak to a supervisor and he told me there wasn't one there. I kept asking for a supervisor and he started yelling at me there’s none here to help you with your problem. Our TV stopped functioning 9 months after purchase and all I want is to have it fixed, replaced or refunded. But everyone at RCA tells you ring this number or that number or you’ll get a call back tomorrow, we hear nothing.

The TV goes black after about 10 seconds. The television is 10 1/2 months old. I contacted RCA a couple of times and was told to send $99.95 to them and in a couple of weeks, someone would contact me for repair. Because of all the complaints on the internet and consumers sending money and still no television, I did not send any money. I contacted Walmart to see if they could help but instead, gave me the excuse that I should have purchased the extended warranty. In my opinion, all I got from Walmart was the brushoff.

After doing everything the RCA support tech told me to do, they said I would get a call and someone would come fix my TV. It has been almost a month now and I have called them back 4 times and have been on hold for at least 40 min. each time and all they can tell me is someone should call and there is nothing else they can do for me. This is unacceptable. I just want my TV fixed and they have no clue when someone, if ever, is going to call me and get this done.

On October 14, 2009, a technician came to fix my projection RCA TV. He said that I needed a new remote control and someone would put it in my mailbox within 3 days. Three weeks later, he came because of numerous calls. He never told me that the old remote would mess up the TV again. He brought the new remote but never fixed the TV. I paid $275.40 and still cannot use that TV. It is November 18th. When you call, a man who answers says he will be out. We wait and wait, then get another excuse. They are RCA certified. I think RCA needs to take it away from them. They never answer BBB complaints and have several. I wish I checked them out before I called them! I thought if RCA certifies them, they should be reliable. Essentially I lost $275.40. Unless they come back, the only thing I have that works is a new remote that does not work on my TV.

I paid $700 for a 32” RCA LCD flat screen that lasted a year and a half. The power light comes on, but I get no picture or sound and since there are only three basic parts to it, I’m sure it will be expensive to fix if it’s even possible.

Get your State's attorney generals to prosecute actions on your behalf and to help other consumers. Also get the BBB involved in your case. A complaint can also be filed with FTC Bureau of Consumer Protection: The Form is 3084-0047. All of the above listed have web sites though the internet searches for a complaint to be filed. My complaint is very similar to any one of the 45 pages of complaints described against RCA. I bought my RCA LA42FHDD37 on 06-18-09 from Walmart and cannot get the Warrant/service from RCA, and I am now at wits' end to get the 1-year warranty/ guarantee worked. I also have the 2-year product care plan from Walmart. Help! Good luck to all!

I purchased my second 52" RCA projection TV (the first one lasted 7 years) from Walmart (Albany) in 2005 with the 2-year extended warranty, but one month to the day that the warranty expired, the TV blacked out. It only made 3 hissing sounds when you turn it on. I took it to Pete's TV for repair, paid $300 and some change for repairs. The TV lasted 6 months and blacked out again. I am done with RCA.

Walmart accepted a return for my 40" RCA HDTV. The first TV went to a black screen 3 1/2 months after purchase. I had the replacement TV for 9 days and it began to sizzle and smoke! It's bad enough to sell a defective product, but this is dangerous! Again, this purchase was huge for me as a struggling single mom. The smoke that poured from my TV actually damaged my newly painted walls. It is a hardship for me to continue to carry TVs up and down 2 flights of stairs, especially given that I have two broken ribs.

I purchased a new RCA L32HD31 TV set on Dec. 23, 2008. The set quit working on Aug. 18, 2009. I contacted RCA numerous times trying to get warranty service. What a joke. To date (Nov.12, 2009), RCA cannot or will not find a place for me to take my TV for repairs. Has anyone started a class action suit? RCA's been ignoring warranty service for years and ripping customers off. How come RCA doesn't have to honor their warranties while other companies do? Is this legal? I now own a $538.00 RCA TV that won't turn on; a very expensive table decoration.

My son bought this RCA HDTV model # HD50LPW62AYX7 in 2007. As soon as the one year warranty ran out, the lamp went out and he had to spend over $180 to replace it from RCA and wait till it came in the mail to use the TV. 3 months later, the TV went black again, thought it was the lamp again so he wanted it looked at by a TV repair place to see why the lamp keeps going out. RCA wouldn't replace the lamp. I found out they only give a 90 day warranty on the bulb, which by the time it took to get it and use it briefly, time was up.

I purchased a RCA 40" HDTV in July. TV was inoperable by Nov. 1st. Customer service claims 10-14 days to set up service repair and then? I asked to speak to someone with more authority. Troubleshooter Marty told me he was the end of the line! It is unacceptable to incur these problems with a set that is only 3 and 1/2 months old. Additionally, it is unacceptable to wait so long for servicing!

I bought in 2003 RCA Model no. HD61LPW42- 60" diagonal screen DLP/HDTV. This TV is so bad, it broke down in just over a year and luckily, we bought the extended warranty; otherwise it would have been over $1000 to fix. Then the bulb went out ($500 at the time). Now the screen is turning black at the right side and it makes this horrible screeching noise which I found out is the color wheel attached to motor so they want $800. The set cost $2500 to begin with. It is only 5 years old!

My complaint is like many others on the RCA TV brand. I have a problem with the screen going red. I can never get resolution when calling nor does the website allow you to submit. I have completed the form many times online and stating my issue but when you get to the submit button, it does not work. When you call, the problem is never addressed. TV is not that old. I have a Magnavox that I have had for 20+ years and never had to repair and still working fine.

My RCA projection TV failed to work after 3 months. The tech came out and tried to repair it. Now, it doesn't work. I am requesting a refund of $989.00. Also, RCA always cut me off when I'm explaining my status on my TV. The parts are faulty. Need a refund. Have a manager to call me back.

I brought an RCA TV L32HD32D on 12/20/08 with a 2-year extended warranty because of the switch over in February. We did not hook it up until the end of January 2009 (because of the holiday). It showed great and sounded great for about 3 months and then it would go to a black screen and you would have sound no picture. You could cut off and leave off for a while and then it would play good for a while and then cut off again. I called the number in the book and they gave me a repair service. I took it to the service (Kirk's Electronics in Alpharetta, GA) on 6/24/09. He called in about 3 days and said that they could not fix it and that the part was not available and they would send me a replacement (new).

I purchased an RCA 52" projection TV at Walmart in July 2005. After a few years, now the power button flashes 3 times but the TV doesn’t turn on. I went online to see if I could find out what the problem was because I live in a rural area and can’t find any place to fix it. I couldn’t believe how many people have had the same problem.

We bought the RCA model L32HD32D TV in January 2009. By March/April, the screen shut down and would go black. There was sound, no picture. By the time we located our receipt, the 90-day return at Walmart was over. We then called RCA. After quite a long wait, we were told to fax the receipt, model and serial number and to call back to get service number. We did all that and called back and had to re-send receipt. This time I told the girl I wanted the number since I wasn't interested in waiting another 1/2 hour on the phone. She gave me a service # and said a service center in our area would be contacting us by the end of the week. Of course, there was no phone call.

I bought a 27-inch RCA model# 27V513T. It has been alright until this year. We bought it a few years ago and 2 days ago, my TV would shut itself off. It stayed off until this next day and came back on, then it would shut off again. When I turned it back on, all I could see was a blue line in the middle of it. It has been like this for 2 days. I don't know why. I called 1-877-794-7977 for 2 days now. All I get is, "The number you dialed cannot be reached." I called some other numbers. They were rude to me and told me, "That's the only number I can reach them by," and then they would hang up on me. I know televisions have warranties but they are avoiding me and hanging up on me.

I bought an RCA 32" flat screen TV at Wal-Mart in December of 2008. By September of 2009, it quit working. I called RCA support, faxed receipt, was given case number, called several times for repair and was finally told that I would have to pay $99.95 for labor to repair. After reading the 42 similar complaints on this website, I think a class action suit needs to be drawn up.

My RCA TV model #L26WD26DA broke after one year of use (the screen turned black with white lines - no picture). RCA advised that while it was out of warranty, they would repair it for a fee of $158.95 and I would have to find a way to pack and ship it to them. According to their directions, I sent my cashier's check to TTE c/o DEX in Groveport, OH and shipped the TV to TTE Technology Inc in Marietta, GA. After 1 month, I contacted RCA only to be told to call their business office at 8772978391. After being on hold for 3 times of 45 minutes each, I finally spoke to someone who said they no longer contracted work with the companies I had been told to mail my check and TV to. They would assign my case to someone to investigate.

I purchased an RCA 32" LCD flat screen in October 2008 from Walmart, model L32HD32D. By March 2009, it was shutting its screen down. When the power was turned off and then back on, the screen would come back on. After a short time longer, it shut down completely and would not come back to life at all. I finally brought the TV to the recommended service center on July 3, 2009 and for 2 1/2 months, all I received was the excuse that the parts were on order and that RCA was not responding to the service centers requests for information.

I bought a 32" LCD model #L32HD31 on 2/25/09. Two 4 days ago, it just would not produce sound, picture or even a backlight. Just a black screen. I called and after being on hold for 30 minutes, was told to fax over the receipt and then wait for 3 more days to call back to schedule a tech to come out. As instructed, we called and again was put on hold for 20 minutes to find out that it would cost $99.95 for a tech to service the unit and if replacement was necessary, then they would mail me a label to send the unit back to RCA. Today, I just received a call from the repair facility and was advised that I would have to drive 2 hours to drop the TV off and if they have to come out, it would cost $90.00 for the trip. We purchased an RCA because of the name and quality. Never thought they were this shady. Never again!

We have a 32" flatscreen HD TV (model L32HD31). We've had this TV for 9 months. The screen started to get vertical lines where the volume appears in the far right. Then the screen faded from black on the lower left to white on the upper right at a diagonal. And there's no sound, no menu, and no picture! I called the tech department at RCA/TTE Tech. I was put on hold for 25 minutes for the 3rd time. I was given an email address to send my receipt for the pop processing, whatever that is. I was told it would take 24-48 hours to receive a call back on the situation. I never received a call. 10 days later, there's still no call.

I bought a 32" flatscreen, and six months later, I have something "blown out" on the screen. Now half is in color and half is washed out and mostly white. I called the Service Center, and after being routed to different numbers, I was asked for my credit card to pay $95.99 for labor, and then someone would call me to see if it needed to go to a service center or have someone come out and fix it. If someone needed to fix it, they would then set an appointment time. I can't believe I have to pay more money ahead of time when it could take up to a couple of weeks for them to even decide if I need someone to come out!

I purchased an RCA 52" projection TV. Within 4 years, the green "on" light will come on; however, no picture. Inferior product.

I purchased an RCA 32-inch TV model #L32HD31 and it started making a buzzing sound. I called an RCA tech and faxed in the receipt. I was waiting on a call back and I never received it. I called them back with a wait time of about 40 minutes to find out I had to call another number. I called that number and finally was offered a replacement. I waited on a call back as I was instructed and again, I had to call them. Another 45-minute wait. After all of this, I was told that I had to pay a $99.99 labor fee for a replacement TV.

I bought a 50-inch RCA TV and took out the service contract. After a year, there's no picture. I called Wal-Mart, and they sent out a repairman. He said the lamp was burned out and that was not covered under the warranty. Labor and lamp were about $600 to fix in this $1200 TV. Wal-Mart split the repair with me. Eighteen months down the road, the lamp has failed again. I can order one for $400 and get free shipping. Wow.

I bought a new RCA 50-inch TV. I had it less than a year and it stopped working. RCA told me in-house repair but there was no repair service in my area. So after three months, RCA sent me a 46-inch TV to replace my 50-inch. I set the TV up, plugged it in and it shut off. I called RCA, went to get the serial number off the back and there was a refurbished sticker on the back, I was not aware of that because I would have never settled. Now, it has been another 5 months. I have been told it had internal issues and they would send me a new TV. I still have not received it. Total time out of TV is 6 months and I still have no TV and two sitting in my way that I can't find anyone to work on them.

I purchased a 42-inch RCA LCD TV (Model: l42fhd37) and the sound stopped working from the DVI input. I called RCA and got the phone number for Vision Electronics. The rep from Vision Electronics came to our house and picked up my TV. When I called to check on the status, I was told that I had a bad input board, it was on back order and I need to call RCA. Well, they decided to replace my TV after two and a half months. They sent me a new TV but it did not have some of the features my original TV had. It came with a cheap remote, not my universal remote. And I can't get a universal remote to work with this TV. I know I have got ripped off by RCA/Thompson Electronics. Never buy an RCA product as you will just be ripped off by them.

I purchased an RCA 50" HD-LP set model HD50LPW69 and 1 year and 3 days later, the lamp went out. I called RCA, they said this was not covered due to the 3 days past the 1 year warranty. I spent $400.00 and replaced the lamp. Now my set is less than 2 years old and it stopped working altogether. The power light stays on and will not go off unless you unplug it. There is no picture and no sound at all. I had a TV repair look at it, they said 2 boards are bad! Not one, but two! I had called RCA when I first had this problem for troubleshooting. They were not much help with that to begin with. They did not even bother to listen. I said my set has no sound and no picture, yet the power light is on. I was told to change the channel to a channel my set receives. I guess considering I was dumb enough to buy an RCA product in the first place, they thought I would fall for it.

I purchased an RCA television set (model number HD50LPW175yx12) in July 2005. After one year, 2006, I had to replace the color lamp (cost $150 OEM), which was expected. Exactly one year later, my TV screen started to black out automatically after about 30 minutes. I informed RCA about this issue, and I was advised that I needed to replace the lamp again, which I've done, only to find that the set still does not work. Another call was made to RCA, and I was advised that I need to take the set to an authorized RCA service center, which I did. I was then advised that it needed a color wheel and that after paying the $110.00 diagnostic fee, it would be an additional $400 (parts and labor) fee. I agreed to pay this, since I couldn't afford another TV set at this time.

My father, an elderly man, has purchased two RCA televisions within the last year. Both products have failed. The first one failed within weeks. It was returned to the store and a different model was purchased. The second model failed after about 5 months. I am acting on my father’s behalf and I have been trying to get the faulty product replaced ever since. Model: L26HD31. Serial number: 1281E8347. Case number: **. Return number: **.

I spent $1,800.0 on a 50" RCA television two years ago. I have already had to replace the lamp at a cost of over $160 which was not covered by the extended warranty that I purchased for an additional $100. For the last six weeks, it is making a loud, squealing sound that continues even when I turn the TV off for an additional 5 minutes or more. Sometimes, I have to unplug the TV. I called RCA and they told me who to call to come service it. It cost me $90 for a service man to come and tell me it is the color wheel and that they are no longer available for purchase, and he cannot help me.

I purchased a 52" HDTV manufactured by RCA in late 2004. This July (2009) the television became inoperable. Initially, it started with cutting itself off. It would take me at least 5 minutes to get it to come back on. I contacted RCA and they stated that it was the voltage in my home. After this, the TV cut off and never came back on again. The green power button comes on, but the TV does not. RCA stated that they could not help me and redirected me to their list of repair shops. There were only about 5 listed for my area. Of the five, only one of the numbers was functional! I spoke with the man at the repair shop and he told me that he does not work on RCAs because a Chinese company apparently bought the company and there is a huge problem obtaining parts. Basically, I have a very large television that does not work. I am so very upset. I am a teacher and I work really hard for the money that I earn - harder than most. I hate the fact that RCA is getting away with selling televisions that stop working once the warranty ends. Because of this incident, RCA is $2000 richer and I am $2000 poorer.

I purchased the RCA TV on August 15th, 2008. In April of 2009, the TV stopped working. Morris TV & Electronics, located at 5525 Sulphur Spring Rd, Pine Bluff, AR 71603, tel. 1-870-534-5326, said that the TV was not repairable and notified the RCA Company. RCA promised three months ago to replace the TV, but nothing has been done. All I get when I call (at least 10 times) is the runaround.

I bought this unit for $400 on sale, and six months in the picture went out - just a flashing blue light on the on button. I was told by customer service to unplug it for 5 minutes and try again. It worked, but had to do it six more times before it wouldn't. So, I had to send it for repairs. It was over $400 to repair under warranty. Not long after, the problem came back and this time, it's $100 flat rate to fix, plus parts, or $50 to check and report, and then $100 to fix per hour. Fool me once, shame on me, but never again with this crap. Stay away from these guys' products and save your money and grief. Buy an LCD for $400, and enjoy TV again!

I am a disabled senior and don't get around like I used to. My son bought me a 50" RCA TV in April of 2008. In Sept. of 2008, my TV started going black off and on and then it just went out. It turned out to be the lamp, part # 275179R. I went through all the receipts, faxes and confusing customer service. It took three phone calls but three weeks later, I had my part. My son installed it for me and once again I was back on TCM. Now, it is July 2009 and my replacement lamp is going out again. I called the local RCA dealer before calling RCA support and he said RCA is not what it used to be. My answer was, "Amen, brother!" After calling RCA customer support, I now have learned the replacement bulb only had a 90-day warranty (that says a lot about RCA right there). It has been nine months and I will have to pay over $165 to replace the lamp and $55 service call. When I was talking with RCA support, I asked to speak with a manager but was told after holding for over 10 minutes they were all busy and once again he told me there was no warranty on the replacement lamp. He also told me the life expectancy of the lamp is between 4,000 and 6,000 hours. When you divide that by 365 days in a year, you actually would have to replace the lamp every year if you watch over 14 hours a day of TV.

In early June 2009, our television screen went out. We originally purchased the 32" RCA unit in November 2008. A week after we purchased it, the DVD unit in it stopped working. So, we took it back to the store and got an exchange. Then in June, the picture went out. I contacted RCA/Thomson and they said I needed to take it to their authorized repairshop. We took it there and they diagnosed the problem and tried to get the part. Thomson told them the part was not available. They told them we would take an exchange. After not hearing anything from them, I contacted Thomson on 7/8/09 and was told that they would get back to me.

RCA 52-inch HDTV picture turns on and off intermittently. Sound is okay. It’s out of warranty and looks like I’m **. I don't have my purchase receipt because it's been 5 years. I'll never purchase any electronic anything from Wal-Mart again!

I purchased an RCA 42" HD TV from Sears on July 11, 20/08 and on July 17, 2009, the sound works but there was no picture. After talking and emailing RCA/Thomson, to no satisfaction, I will never buy a product from RCA/Thomson or its parent company, TTE Corporation of China. I could only wish they go broke for selling junk and having no idea of what customer service is!

I purchased a 32" LCD RCA TV on 05/17/09. Within a week, the image on the LCD screen had burned into the display. So, I had made arrangements with RCA warranty services to return the TV for replacement. I chose the Pre-Return exchange option where I send the broken television to them and when they receive it, they are to send me a new replacement. They said the replacement should take no more that 7-10 business from date of receiving the broken television. I shipped the broken TV on 06/24/09.

I bought an RCA flat screen TV Model # 32V434TYX6 in 12/07. It is at my vacation condo and has less than 100 viewing hours on it. It shut off while watching it on 7/21/09. The TV repairman said it was the transformer and it is common with this year model and he sees it a lot. I think it should have been a recall.

I purchased an RCA TV at Wal-Mart, model L26HD31, for CA$507.10 including taxes. After eight months, it did the same thing that the other people are talking about on this site. It shuts itself off and never comes back on. This is a bedroom TV and hardly used. I called their number on the manual and they told me to send it back and they would send me a new one. The waiting on the phone calls which were directed to the Philippines was a nightmare. When I finally got the TV and returned the other one, I realized that it is a cheaper TV at Costco. It cost CA$350 plus taxes, plus the remote is not programmable. This is a 2009 TV. I have a Sony that is 10 years old and had never had a problem and it has a programmable remote.

I bought a new TV made by RCA (Proscan), but the TV went out in less than 3 months. I even bought the in-house extended warranty, but they said it doesn’t go into effect until the factory warranty runs out. They must be given the chance to repair it first. The woman on the phone said there weren’t any repair places close to where I live, so I needed to call around and see if I could find one that would work on it in my area. I called her back and gave her the list and she would do what she could. She gave me the name to call and he picked it up. He said it would take a few days. It’s been over a month and I’ve called and no one even returned my calls.

I made a complaint about 2 RCA televisions that I owned. Both are less than 4 years old and have been broken for about 6 months. I think that this is ridiculous. My daughter also has an RCA television and hers was made in 2002 and is still working. Apparently, any models made in the last 5 years are somehow defective. In my opinion, I think that all owners that have a TV manufactured in 2003 or late should receive some type of compensation. We are out of 2 TVs that we paid good money for. I don't think that they should be broken this soon.

I purchased an RCA 32-inch HD television Dec. 22 2008. It went out May 2009, after very little use. Now, the service center, after 2 months of calls and transferring me to every other place under the sun, says they are waiting for inventory from RCA. They tell me RCA will not send them the TVs they need to ship me my replacement. This cannot continue to happen. It had 1 year replacement and I also purchased the extended warranty. They are stealing.

My 75-year-old, recently widowed father purchased an RCA 32" flat screen from Wal-Mart in Sydney, Nova Scotia (store # 3101) in August ‘09. By March ’09, it stopped working. RCA told him to drop it off in Glace Bay (Morgan's Electronics) for repair. This gentleman, after a few weeks, couldn't fix it and informed RCA/Thomson. He informed us he was waiting on RCA's decision. My father purchased extra warranty when he purchased it. After several phone conversations and being passed back and forth and told, "It's not our department that deals with this," with RCA/Thompson, they agreed to replace the TV. So, we waited.

I originally purchased an RCA R52WH77YX58 projection TV from Best Buy on 8/26/2006 for $949.99. The TV started experiencing severe picture problems in June of 2008. I contacted RCA who referred me to Best Buy's in-home repair service. Their first visit to my home occurred 6/21/2008. I paid the $100 service call and was advised that he will need to order the part to fix the issue. After numerous calls to Best Buy to find out the status of the replacement part, I was advised on 9/10/2008 (yes, the date is correct) that the part is no longer available anywhere in the country.

About two years ago I purchased an expensive RCA HDTV from Walmart. The TV worked great up until two days ago when I got back from my vacation. I was gone for about 2 months and when I returned, my RCA TV would not turn on. I unplugged it and tried all the suggestions, but nothing happened. The power button will come on if pressed then go back off and do that two more times without a button being pushed. I called customer service the next day and spoke to a woman who couldn't even speak English.

In November of 08, I purchased an RCA television. I also purchased an extended warranty. Well, not long after I had my television set, it started to mess up. I called and in February of 09, my television was sent to an RCA approved repair center. After I received my television back from the repair center, I was still having the same problem, so it shortly went back to the repair center. Well, this is now July of 09 and I am still without the TV that I have paid for.

We bought a 52" HD projection flat screen RCA. It was an expensive purchase for us and it is broken now, less than 4 years old, closer to 3 years old. I have called them and the only thing they said was "sorry about that" and gave me the numbers to repair places in my area. I wrote again as I was not happy with the answer as no one is standing behind this product. They emailed me back and stated to call them to go through troubleshooting with my manual. There's nothing to go through, I told them. It smelled like it was burning and I was not plugging it in.

I have a 61-inch RCA trash. The TV was not 4 years old and it cost me $940.51 to get it fixed. I had to replace the signal board, the yoke cluster and projector tube. I will never in my life buy any RCA product again

I read that there were a lot of complaints for the RCA 50-inch DLP. Mine also went. I can't afford to fix it.

I have never wanted to buy a new TV, and the one time did, I bought an RCA and it's about 2 years old. All it wants to do when I press the power button is turn right back off and on and back off. There are many people with this same problem with their RCAs, but has anyone gone to their news station?

I purchased an RCA 27" TV 5/28/08 for $272. I turned it off on 5/22/09, but it won't turn on again. It had a warranty for 1-year on parts. Repair would be $75 fee plus labor, which would be nearly as much as the cost of the TV. RCA knows of this problem from other consumer complaints but will not provide the information so I can order the part and fix it myself. No more RCA purchases for me.

I bought an RCA 50-inch DLP rear projection television. I had it for 2.5 years. The lamp burnt out; it was not covered under Walmart's warranty or RCA's. I bought one. 6 months later, it went black again. I sent the lamp back. They tested it and said that it was fine. They sent it back. I feel taken by RCA. I called them; there is no help. That's $2000 for 3 years on a TV.

I bought a 52" RCA HDTV Big screen and paid $1800.00 for this TV. Little things started to happen and today besides the glitching, it turned off and we could not get it to come back on. The green light would come on for a few seconds and it goes back out again. It smelled like something was burning and I cleaned behind it from dust. No repairman wants to look at it because they have the same problems with many of the RCA units. Now, what do I do with this if it cannot be fixed? 2 repairmen told me it’s the RCA problem. There should be a recall on this model. So, is there a recall or a class action suit? I had this TV for 3 years; a lot of money to spend on a TV for 3 years. I am so upset and frustrated. Does anyone have a number I can call to get this straightened out quickly? Thanks.

I purchased an RCA 36-inch TV for $400.00 in August 2007 from Walmart. On 5/22/09, it turned off in the middle of watching something and we cannot get it to work any longer. We had a repairman look at it, who informed us it would cost $200.00-$250.00 just to replace the tube and power supply. Just reading about the hundreds of other posters' problems, I feel RCA needs a class action suit against their crappy products! We have only had this TV for under 2 years and it's not worth the repair bill to repair it. We just purchased a 32 inch flat panel TV from Dynex for $299.00 and it works amazingly and it's HD! All I have to say is RCA is a ripoff and their merchandise is all junk. I will never purchase anything from RCA gain!

I bought a 52 inch RCA TV and had nothing but problems with it. I believe that they should give everyone a new one. I have talked to over 200 others who had the same thing happening to them with this type of TV and they won't do anything.
