Sanyo 55″ LCD HDTV bought 8/29/11 for around $800, it’s now 1/13/12 and tv’s not turning on, switched outlets, turned on, then it turned itself right back off. The sound will stop when changing channels for using “last” button. I am soooo angry, 67lbs TV so taking it to a repair shop just s**ks out loud. You only have 90 days to take it back to the store and return, I’m over that so now I’m stuck with going to a repair shop!!! Reading all of the other views I’d rather just spend another $800 and buy something else. Its not worth the aggravation.

My Sanyo DP42849 just crapped out on New Years Day. Black screen, power is on but blinks after 10 seconds. no picture. Great TV when it was working, but tv’s manufacture date is July 2009…only 2 and a half years old. Come on! Get your act together Sanyo!!!!! I’m disappointed, so disappointed, not to mention PISSED OFF!!!

Same thing with us and our Sanyo DP42849. Black screen and blinking green power light. After reading all the stories I wish We would have known before we bought it. We went to Walmart to ask if they have had any complaints about them and told her our story and she said that since we didn’t watch the tv for more than 3 hours a day they go out. Yeah right! She said that because we have only watched it maybe 20 time in the year we have had it because it is in our bedroom. I will not buy another Sanyo, and I wish there was a class action

My husband and I purchased the Sanyo DP42849 on New Year’s Eve 2009. So it lasted us almost 2 years. Which after reading other reviews, is longer than most. The screen just went black and the sound was still working. Shut it off then back on, flickered for a split second then black again. After waiting a few minutes, turned it back on and it worked for an additional few days until this evening when it went black and never came back. I read an article that offered things to try to figure out the problem, and it looks like our backlight went out. I am unhappy to say the least. I am hoping that we may be able to replace the backlight and get another year or two out of it. Needless to say, will never purchase from Sanyo again.
