Advent Q328A 32" Flat Screen TV
Disappointed
I purchased this TV from Best Buy about a year ago... I did not get a brand new model I bought the floor model the only one left in the store.. thought I got a great deal! I had a 32\\" TV for about 250.00 not bad right... wrong! From the start I was disappointed that BestBuy did not have the remote that came with the TV so they gave me a Universal Remote that did not work on the TV. I bought 3 other Universal Remotes trying to find one that would work on the TV one being a $ 35.00 remote that stated the ADVENT name on it but it will ONLY bring up the menu screen and nothing else, you cant even make any changes in the menu screen just bring it up on the screen. I then tried to find some type of support on this brand TV being that it was a floor model I also had NO paperwork with it. I found that extremely difficult, I finally found a website where you can purchase the remote for the TV the ONLY place you can purchase it and it cost  $ 25.00 just for the remote not the shipping. Big disappointment since I had already spent almost $ 50.00 on remotes that did not work.... <br /> <br />Now after a year of having the TV with no remote I go to change the channel one day and no matter what station I put it on it continued to show the exact same channel I was previously watching... I turn the unit off because it seems to be \\"freaking out\\" and when I turn it back on all I get is the blue screen or static depending on what setting you have it on.. it now sits on my floor in the living room waiting for me to decide if I want to endure more expense to bring this HUGE and extremely HEAVY unit in to a repair shop to possibly find out that the cost to fix it will be more than I paid for it... I would tell anyone wanting to or thinking about purchasing this TV to RUN... I have 2 Zenith televisions that I have had for 10 years that still play fine, no problems, no repairs and any remote will work on!
