Hey guys,
I agree with everything I've read so far in here, so many of us have been let down or burnt by LG at one time or another, and now they are doing it to us allmover again? During a recession they are literally stealing money from us by seelling faulty goods, not fixing them and openly stating that it will not be looked into further unless they get a large amount of complaints.
It's like a really bad relationship, only more expensive.
We need to get this information out to other sites and other users/owners.
I find it strange that not 1 single news/tech/review site has reported that this TV is broken? I find this really very strange... All these review sites are supposed to be here to supoort the buyer... so... Where are they now? Why are they not protecting buyers by reporting that the most expensive LCD TV of 2012 is infact a Lemon?
I don't put AVFourms in that catagory, as they are currently reviewing the 960, have already spoken to me and other users about these issues in their forums, and are going to test and report any flaws they find, much like they did with the 860.
They openly support users opinions and work with users to provide open and honest reviews.
If anyone can link to, post, tweet, blog, status update etc the main "bug post" it would really help get this out other users who could fall into the LG cycle of despair.
We need to rerun these sets, hold of buying these sets, stop letting them get away with selling us broken items and then discontinuing them so that we can't replace them amd have no leg to stand on as the price plumments (much lime my £3000 980T bought at the end of 2011 which dropped to apx £1500 or so now... It's surly fraudulent (if not very questionable) business practice?
I'm going to try and contact BBC watch dog regarding my experience with the 980T and the 960V and the refusal of LG to repair or replace the tv even though they admitted fault?
I think users need to stick together, protect each other. It would be easy for me (for us) to sit back and forget about it... But if we do, LG will just keep selling broken items year after year, raking in millions of pounds/dollars etc while we struggle to find a way to deal with the loss of £3000 worth of savings for a product that was immediately discontinued, can't be replaced, and doesn't work! It's like a very clever and modern way of basic theft!
A wise man once said:
fool me once, shame on shame on you. Fool me You can't get fooled again
I think LG think that we're all a little bunch of bushes at times!
Hopefully if we work together our voices will be heard!
At best we get this issues fixed and save lots of people thousands of pounds.
At worst, nothing happens but at least we tried.
I say there's no harm in doing the right thing
