Dell TV Died in Two Years and Can’t Be Fixed
We purchased our 42″ Dell Plasma TV 2 years ago and it has died. To make matters worse, Dell is no longer supporting the parts and specs so the TV repair shop can not repair it. Do yourself a favor don’t buy this or any product from Dell, there computers are just as cheaply made.

Replaced TV but quality is outstanding
Two bold black vertical lines appeared on this TV.

I also have a 20 inch tv and a 27 inch TV - both Japanese

made and great condition after big time usage.

VHS, DVD, etc. have worked very well. This DELL model is great as long as it works. I am concerned that the first one did not last 3 months.

This second model seems fine - so far. It is a pricey model.

$2K is too much to pay to have to worry about condition of the actual machine….Go with Samsung, Panasonic, Phillips, Mitsubishi or be prepared for early obsolescence, break down in the DELL lane.

It’s a great item
There are many features incluided in this plasma item by great price.

The great image quallity, picture in picture options, native resolution, terrific sound, package of inputs and outputs, etc. are just a few things that you will have with this television.

ENJOY IT!!!

Do not buy this TV!
I bought this TV new and direct from DELL. After just 2 days it would not power on consistently, and when it did it had a very loud buzzing noise. After researching more I found that this is not an uncommon problem. I returned to DELL for a full refund. Avoid TV’s made in China!!

2nd times a charm ??
After only 4 months my Dell 42″Plasma HDTV developed a thin line running from the bottom of the screen up about midway high. When I called customer service they told me they would replace the TV with a refurbished model. I had only used my TV on weekends for football games or when watching a DVD, it may have had 100 hours of use. I argued that it wouldn’t be fair to replace it with someone elses lemon that had been repaired & maybe had a thousand hours on it! According to the fine print there was nothing I could do about it. After a few weeks the refurbished replacement arrived. I was told to come look at it before the serviceman brought it into my house. Sure enough, the screen was scratched in 2 places & I did not accept it. After many, many calls & faulty information from customer service, I asked to speak to the supervisor & threatened a lawsuit. Finally I was promised a brand new TV as a replacement. I recieved the new TV 9 weeks after I first contacted customer service about the vertical line. I am happy that I recieved a new TV but unhappy that the warranty does not start over with the replacement, it still begins with the original sale! I have never in my life spent that kind of money ($3000) on an item from a catalogue or from viewing it on the internet. Had I bought this TV from a store, I would have been at the counter immediately & recieved my replacement TV much quicker. I spent many hours on the phone during the Christmas holiday speaking with at least 15 different Dell representatives, many of which could not speak English. It was a very aggravating situation to say the least. Never again will I spend that much money on an item without ‘test driving’ it first.
