PC World Readers rate different television brands for reliability

Among the brands covered by the reader survey were Sony, LG, Panasonic, Samsung, Sharp, Magnavox, Philips, RCA, Toshiba, Hitachi, JVC, Mitsubishi and others.

This isn't a scientific study of the actual reliability of these televisions, but a survey of owner impressions of their own experiences with these television brands.

Still, it's worth reading to get a sense of what other buyers think about the brands you might be considering for purchase.

Service Care was not involved in this survey, and we make no claims about which brands are more or less reliable than any others. We've included this article because our customers might find it of interest.

Thank you for your recent purchase of a JVC rear projection television.

As you are no doubt aware, your television employs advanced technology and delivers superior images. We are extremely proud of the television and will do all we can to ensure your continued enjoyment in its use.

JVC has received reports involving our rear projection televisions and we want to advise you accordingly. An internal electrical connection could cause arcing, charring or smoking inside the television.

The remedy calls for replacement of a printed circuit board, a simple free in-home service which can usually be performed in less than an hour by a qualified service technician.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm sure this is easily repaired, but I'd recommend you go to JVC website and see if your television (assuming it matches the model list above) is one of the products needing repair. JVC will take care of the problem, and will most likely refer you to a local JVC servicer to take care of your problem. If you need alabama television repair, we'll be glad to help!
