sepultura 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2007 So I went and got this "high end" LG 37" LCD TV (37LC7R). The set was delivered on Monday. Tuesday evening the stupid thing decides to go up in smoke, burning out a board. Called the store and they sent a 1-1 replacement which came yesterday. Now this second set has severe backlight bleeding. Unfortunately it doesn't appear when just powered on, you have to use it for an hour, and then you see two corners which are obviously bleeding bright light. You can see this clearly when there's no signal. Now got to call the store and demand another replacement, god knows what other problem that will have. Or else maybe I should ask them to sell me a Panasonic or sony. I called LG customer services today and they claim to have "never heard of this problem". Morons.So much for kimchi products quality, seems worse than those low end china made ones. Samsung is the only one I've had good experiences with. FYI the serial numbers of my sets are 707INYD***** and 707INKD*****. If you have an LG 37LC7 in this range, watch out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sepultura 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2007 Well the LG tech came home yesterday. I showed him the problem with the second TV - backlight bleed has been increasing in intensity and a new third patch has appeared now. I vented my frustrations and asked for a replacement, I am not going to settle for "repairs" on a brand new TV. The tech said he would process the request and have my TV replaced - third TV hopefully works good. That said, I wonder what sort of junk QC/QA they have at LG. Maybe none at all.

tingshen 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2007 as long as not giving further problems can liao lah. TV needs burn in one, it's better to get a properly burn in set instead of brand new set which is yet another question mark....skip korean TV skip skip skip!!!
