This is true, however it was bought for my kids bedroom christmas time last
year for $199? or something like that... But I would feel bad just tossing
it out, the screen clarity wise is fine, it just looks sick
all green.
It could be anything.
Any guess at what the problem will be is just that: a guess. The only way to,
at the very least, get a good steer as to what's going on with your TV is to
have an experienced repair professional examine it and give you a repair
estimate.
But, if the problem is something major, like a shorted picture tube, you're
better off replacing the TV. As it has been said repeatedly here, the set was
made to be disposable when something goes wrong.
The problem with these sets is a combination of a cheap design and cheap parts.
This is how you get a low price tag, but also why these things have
non-existent service support and an abyssmal reliability record.
When you think about the long term, you may spend more money when buying an
Apex which could break down for apparently no reason at all and require a
replacement in the near future.
OTOH, compare this to a TV from a reputable brand that is usually made right to
begin with and would likely break down quite a few years more than the Apex if
acts of God doesn't get it first. Plus, the set from a good brand will likely
have service support so a repair would be possible, allowing you to use your
investment for a longer time.
Simply put, the more years you can get out of your TV, the more you will have
gotten for your money. Usually the TVs that tend to last the most years are
those from respected Japanese brands. - Reinhart
