| 1157595 | 2010-12-01 20:07:00 | I would lump Konka in the Transonic category | Gobe1 (6290) | ||
| 1157596 | 2010-12-01 22:36:00 | there are only a very few manufacturers of screens and all brands cheap or otherwise use them. The main difference with the very cheap models & brands is the quality of the materials and components, build quality, and the quality control of the manufacturer. They are usually based on the same designs but use cheaper parts. They tend to be ok, just have a higher failure rate and lower life expectancy. Most of the time IMO if something is going to fail due to poor construction it will do it fairly early and be covered by warranty I had a 27" transonic TV I gave away after 10 years of faithful service in good going order so cheap can work out. Then again we've all heard stories of things failing 5 mins after the warranty expires. |

| 1157601 | 2010-12-02 06:05:00 | I bet you it uses **** capacitors in its PSU\inverter which dry out or bloat up in a year or two. In fact a TV or LCD monitor doesn't have to be a cheap brand to have useless capacitors. If I bought one I'd replace them all with something decent as soon as the warranty was up. Other than that they're probably not too bad, as long as the CCFLs aren't badly made too. |
