| fsimo's Full Review: Gateway PLSM46TV 46 in. EDTV-Ready Plasma Televisi... |
In March 2004, my son purchased a new Gateway 46" plasma TV. Within three weeks, it had to be replaced due to uncontrollable volume. The replacement lasted a month until the picture went out. Replacement # 3 has now lost the picture.
It is still within the warranty, but I have a very nervous son. Sadly, Gateway has the option of replacing its defective products with "refurbished" models. Based upon my son's experience, there must be and endless supply or refurbished rejects to be foisted upon hapless customers. He bought the extended service policy and now anticipates repeated replacements with "rebuilt" junk .. until his extended warranty runs out.
Note: Epinions' various ratings "categories" are irrelevant to a plasma TV.
1/21/05: I failed to mention that Gateway has stopped production of this turkey .. leaving customers hanging out to dry. As usual repairs could not be made on site so the "thing" is being replaced .. with a 4th patched up unit .. when does it end??
