Hisense is solid. XIaomi if budget TV. Tiong TVs MniLED are very value for money.

My Sony tv screen has been flickering non stop since today. I’ve tried a few methods from the internet to solve the problem but to no avail. Anyone had similar problems before and managed to solve it?

Since got warranty, just activate it la.
No need to think one.

I got a 3 yrs old 55" LG TV and recently the screen keep flickering.. Is it worth repairing? Was quoted about $400 from LG agent. Or anyone know any repair service at cheaper price than agent? TIA

Just realised my tv also got same issue also.

+1 My LG 55UB850T had vertical lines and is flickering. If anyone has contacts to repair able to share? But if $400 ++ might not be worth it to repair.

hi folks! need some help here. My TV is flickering and the images are jumping all over.

Model is Samsung QA65Q95TAKXXS

Is it a panel problem? Samsung quoted me $2000 to replace the panel and the warranty is only 1 month.

Will anyone be able to advise what is my best course of action in this scenario? Find third party technician to repair? Buy new TV? Any help is greatly appreciated!

 

[Jurchen King]

For me, once TV is out of warranty and spoilt, just replace it. More often than not, repair will involve change of entire circuit board or screen panel, where it's simply not worth the cost.

who in the right mind will pay 2k for a tv repair when u can get a brand new at much less??? if u go to comex or any IT show on the last day, u can easily get one at a good discount.

 

[petetherock]

It depends on the quality of the set too... the top drawer sets won't cost pennies..

Sony kd55x9000f. Screen black after logo spin with 4 red blinking light. Factory reset also same.

Anybody got reliable technician contact to share or pm?

Just went to Courts to ask about the price of 65” LG OLED C4. The salesman quote me $3,399 with the soundbar. But when I go Courts website check, the model cost $4,299 for the tv alone.

Anyone knows why online website sell more expensive ah? And also such a big difference?

Imho, website follows official pricing.

Best to walk-in to stores(E.g Best Denki, Courts, Gaincity, Harvey Norman etc)
Approach any of the sales person at TV dept, am sure they are willing to lower price to close the deal.

Tv sensor in front spoilt, (not remotes as remote already changed), how to repair ah?
