RCA F32645 32" TV
JUNK
This is basically the exact tv i bought in 1998, i believe the serial number is different, but it's the same thing. After MUCH wrangling, i am going to the store tomorrow to pick up my new 32&quot; tv. why? they are finally replacing this horrible excuse for a tv for me. when did the problems start? the nite i got it home. there was a black speck in the screen, i believe a bad pixel. anyway, i had to bring it back and get another one. over the past couple of years i have had the repair guy at my house about 10 times. why? well..first of all it had a high pitched noise that appeared whenever it felt like. they fixed it..it came back. also, the sides of the picture would compress and black lines would shoot across the screen, this happened on and off. they fixed that. it came back. they fixed it again. it came back. i got fed up and let the thing sit for about 6 months, and watched my old 25&quot; goldstar instead. finally i decided to see what i could do about getting a replacement tv ( best thing i ever did was spend $150 on the 5 year anything goes plan) i have finally figured out why the sides of the picture compress..when there is bright white or light on the screen. perfect example is a hockey game..the bright white ice completely throws the thing off. i had to watch the Stanley Cup finals on my old tv. Oh yeah, another thing..i recently purchased a DVD player, and it screws up the images in the background of a DVD..for example, window blinds or telephone poles appear bent..it looks terrible. i connected my player to my old tv, and it looked great. So in closing i'd like to say that i'm very happy about picking up a new tv, and that i will never, ever, i don't care if it's a pack of gum, purchase another product from RCA. if you are thinking of purchasing RCA, you may have a great experience, or one like mine. my advice, run. run far away and get a quality product..anything but RCA.
