How old/new?

Can you go into a TV menu? Even if you have to use the buttons on the TV?

Can you see any menu?

What model?

The only buttons that effect are on/off, mute, volume up & down.

Probably 4 years old?

This is exactly what we deserve when we abandon our American workers & buy from our 3rd world enemies!

Should help you.


Honestly it sounds like this is a horrible TV. Amazon, has horrible reviews. The majority being 1 star. I wouldn't put too much money into this thing. A house fan seems to be the best and easiest solution.

For TV's, look at Samsung and Sony. Sony costs a bit more but you can get some pretty good Samsungs for relatively cheap. My family has 4 Samsungs and everyone is happy. We did buy a bit on the higher end, $1500+ for 46-52" LCD's.

You can spend much less and still get a good TV. I know it sucks to hear that you bought a junk TV, but that is probably the reality.

I've already got a 46" SONY sitting where the old turd used to sit.
