Apex AVL2776 27-Inch LCD Flat Panel HD-Ready TV
After 13 months TV is "unrepairable"
DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM APEX! I purchased this TV for my husband for Christmas, 12/19/04. The TV is in our bedroom and is watched occasionally-not every day. After 13 months, the picture suddenly went black. I have sound but no picture. We took it to an authorized Apex repair shop and they told us it was unrepairable. They can't get parts from Apex and we would need a new LCD screen. Even if we could get the part, the cost would be quite high. For a TV that is watched 8 hours per week-MAXIMUM-and at a cost of over $1000, this TV should not be unrepairable. We are so upset, and feel we have been ripped off. The warranty is only good for 12 months. I urge everyone to NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM APEX. You will waste your money. The repair shop said they have had a number of these TVs and other Apex products come in but cannot be repaired-parts not available. There should be a law against this type of consumer ripoff.
