I cannot believe that so many of us are having the same problem with the Sanyo TVs. I spent $1200 on this a wal mart and expected better than this. I hope they do something to help us although from the sound of things it is not likely.

A year and two month before the lines also. Sad that their are so many of the same problems. Quality control/assurance is not being applied it seem due to the quality of other brands. Since this isn’t a health issue the government will not intervene. Like me and all of you, the price was right, more people will fall into a deal you can’t overlook but will fail expectation. To bad, I enjoy this item and will wait until I have to give it up and look around again.
God bless!

Our Sanyo Model 46849 is out after 2 years. Green light comes on and it always takes 10 seconds to come on, but now the green light goes off and keeps coming on. Piece of junk.

I always thought sanyo was a good brand until my TV went dark on one side. Takes about 45 minutes for it to return to normal which is very annoying. I’m NEVER buying another Sanyo product again after seeing how many people are having the same problem.

I have the black screen problem also, as well as horizontal and vertical lines running across the screen. This TV is only 2 years old! Sanyo offers no help. I am told it is a bad LCD panel, which would cost me $1000 to fix. Several people online are having the same problem.

UNACCEPTABLE! DO NOT BUY SANYO!

Had this TV for about a year and a half. Right half of the screen cuts out, after a few hits on the TV it comes back. Sometimes this will last, sometimes not. I guess Sanyo and poor TV’s are synonymous. My fault I should have done my homework. I will not make this mistake again. Do yourself a favor, save yourself some headaches and stay away from Sanyo.

I too have the black boxes/clouds all over my 2 year old TV and it’s sad:(
I called Sanyo though and they admitted there was a problem with the set. I agree they should replace my TV but it’s been 2 years so the warranty has passed.
I did however receive an offer for a brand new 46 in ch TV shipped for free for $350. That have fixed the problems with the panels and I have put it on my credit card so if the problem arises again (which they promise it won’t) I’ll get the money back from them through my credit card company.
. I like the quality otherwise and for $350 and the knowledge that this time I’m protected I feel good about trying a Sanyo TV again.
Maybe you guys should call them too??

Hopefully there is power in numbers… We’ve had our sayno tv for four years… about two into it the almost famous black bar became part of the family… It ticks me off that we spent our hard earned money (approximately 130 hours of our lives) on something that we researched for months, just to be stuck with a problem that is going to cost us more money to fix… Next time I won’t be buying a sayno, considering there customer service skills… or lack there of.
