    Vizio tells owners their tv's are not repairable

    Hi
    The following link makes for interesting reading.. It looks like Vizio has stepped up to paving the way of planned obsolescence on their televisions.

    What will be next????

          What brand panels do Vizio use? My favourite LCD panel brand is Samsung.
          My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.

              Well, there are several issues here. First of all, if the problem is a defective plasma panel, it doesn't make any difference if that TV is made by Sony, Samsung, Philips, Panasonic, or Yung Chow Trading Ltd, it is uneconomical to repair. If it is an LCD panel with a bad bond between the flex conductor and the glass, it is uneconomical to repair. I WOULD disagree that a problem with the backlights renders a TV uneconomical to repair.

              Next is the manufacturer's willingness to replace a TV they deem unrepairable. When they offer a new or refurbished TV at more than the retail price, I can't blame anyone for howling in outrage.

              Third are the no-name and house brands. The less said about them, the better.
