Unreliable TV and Sanyo are terrible - should show 1 starOctober 13, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I was looking for a TV with a brand name I had heard of but didn't want to pay a fortune as this wasn't the main TV.
When I saw this Sanyo for under 170 but couldn't find much information about it so I took a chance as the price was very good especially considering it was retailing for just under 300 elsewhere.
Good Points
- Very clear picture - much better than the 22" LG we had bought recently. - Sound is very good - again much better than the LG
Bad(ish) points
- A bit odd looking as most TV are going for the ultra slim bezels the bezel on this is huge and you will either love or hate it, but I think the decent sized speakers help with the sound. - Separate power supply with a really fiddly connector - no idea why as the case is large compared to all other TV's of this size. - Lack of connections - only the real basic scarts etc, no HDMI or common interface. - Remote control - weird placement of some of the buttons like the menu button is exactly where all other remotes have select/ok so every time you try to choose an option you press menu and it can get really frustrating.
You may think from all the bad points I have listed I don't like this TV, but actually I do. This is a great set for the bedroom etc where you just want the basics and have space for the larger than usual case.
Follow on Review:-
Since my first review the Digital TV receiver has failed and I can now only receive analog channels. As Amazon dont have these in stock I rang Sanyo and 2 weeks on they still havent found the parts required to repair the TV.
SECOND FOLLOW ON REVIEW:-
STILL NO PARTS AVAILABLE AND SANYO WILL NOT REPLACE THE TV EVEN THOUGH THEY DONT HAVE THE PARTS TO REPAIR IT.
SANYO HAVE TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND YOU SHOULD AVOID THEM WHEREVER POSSIBLE.
HOWEVER AMAZON WERE BRILLIANT AND AS THEY DONT HAVE ANY OF THE TV'S IN STOCK THEY ARE COLLECTING THE TV AND ISSUING A FULL REFUND - EXCELLENT SERVICE AMAZON.
