READ THIS BEFORE BUYING ANY ZENITH
Pros
Good Picture, Versatile, but Useful Life < 1year
Cons
The Zenith set is plagued with initial quality problems, and should be avoided!
Recommended it?
No
The Bottom Line:
This was my first major electronic purchase. I am so disappointed with the outcome that I feel compelled to let potential future suckers know of the poor quality and service.
AAHHHHHH!!!
There I'm glad I got that out .Let me tell you guys a little story about my experience with Zenith televisions
Yes, I have the huge 44" crystal clear rear projection LCD everyone seems to be talking about. I purchased mine almost a year ago to date, and I was in television ecstasy, at least for a while.
MAJOR PROBLEM 1:
About 4 weeks after my first major TV purchase, a strange green circle mysteriously appeared about 6" from the top, and 6" from the right side of the screen. However, the circle of aggravation was noticeable only when the backdrop was dark, so I decided to live with it
MAJOR PROBLEM 2:
6 months down the road I find myself showing off my high definition gaming graphics to some buddies when one points out a slight blue haze at the bottom of the screen At first I tried to repress the memory of the haze eating away at the $1600 I still owe to Best Buy, but inevitable, the line returns, stronger, and brighter each day
MAJOR PROBLEM 3:
5 minutes later as my friends are taunting my seemingly uninformed decision to buy a high definition Yugo, we are still all impressed with the televisions ability to produce stunning images on standard cable channels. At this point, I have my Yamaha surround sound and 10'' sub providing us with an incredible surround sound effect, when low and behold, this piece of !@#$ lets out an explosive static discharge that can only be described as an electronic excretion of pure hell! The sound cripples any enjoyment we might have experienced through my $3000 home theatre system
With each passing day, the three problems become a part of my everyday home theatre experience as I embarrassingly explain all the quirks of the lemon I sill owe a ton of $ on
So - What did I do? - I called Zenith and explained the situation, and all the reviews I've read of people experiencing the same thing I have, and like every rationale consumer, demanded my money back, and challenged them to recall the set, before anyone else is duped into wasting their money
So - What was there response? - Sir, we can't return your money because of internet reviews. (The condescension of the practiced, well rehearsed feedback made me feel very angry there, I said it)
I have a tech coming to the house to look at it this week (allegedly), but I haven't heard from them yet.
Thus, I submit this plea This set should be recalled. Who designs a television with a useful life of 6 months? Hey Great I'm still under warranty Until the useful life of my serviced set runs out in another 6 months
All I want to know is .Who's comin' with me?
