Amazing Journey, Fantastic Television
First, some basic insights I gained while shopping for this television.
The last LCD HDTV that I purchased was not a top brand name. So when it suddenly died, with a “crackle…pop”noise, I googled the sound to learn it was the power supply unit. And not an uncommon occurrence. Just google “lcd tv crackle pop” and look at all the results.
I took it to a number of very high-end A/V repair shops that refused to work on it, since they “didn’t have a manual”. I called everyone, including the manufacturer. But they were focused on their current models and since they weren’t name brands, had no reputation for…anything, and were not going to not about to be helpful. So much for LCD TVs that aren’t name brands. Or those without warranties. So unless you intend to make your HDTV a disposable one, go for the brand name.
