Apex Digital GB5108 51 in. EDTV-Ready TV

Pros: Big Screen, nice design, easy to set-up.
Cons: Quality isn't as good as other projection televisons.

I like buying things that look good, work well, and give you the best bang for your buck. I like to think that Apex is an up and coming manufacturer for electronics in the low budget domain. The Apex GB5108 51 inch projection television is a really ...

Pros: Price
Cons: Picture quality isn't the best with a basic cable connection.

I like to think of myself of a pretty intelligent guy when it comes to buying electronics. I started looking at big screens about 2 months ago and realized there is a TON of stuff that you can consider. I decided that I didn't want to hassle with details. ...

Pros: Price was good, inputs were plentiful
Cons: Unreliability of product, poor customer service of company

With great excitement and anticipation, I purchased the Apex Rear Projection TV just after moving into our new (first) home on 12/29/03. I was amazed at the price I found at Wal-Mart for this item, around $850.00, and eagerly awaited its arrival into my ...

Pros: It's good looking, for a very large DOORSTOP.
Cons: No one will repair it, because APEX is such a pain to deal with.

I bought my APEX gb5108 in August 2003, from K's Merchandise, who is now out of business. About 1 year after purchase, all I could get was a blue screen with swirling diagonal lines. At that time there was a local repair shop who still handled the APEX product. It took them and myself hours of calls and internet searching just to get a download of the service manual. Now, (7/2007)it's nothing but a black screen AND no one will repair it. Every service tech. in the area refuses to work on APEX.
When one calls customer service (866.427.3946)they can only give you the same info. as is on the web site, & apologize.
I'm retired, living on a fixed income & this was my big retirement gift to myself. Ha Ha some joke on me.....guess I'll read books & knit.

Pros: CHEAP!!
Cons: HORRIBLE DURABILITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I purchased my TV in October of 2003. It worked well for a year and 3 months. Thats it, now all I get is a flickering blue screen. Told buy Apex to take it to repair shop. I will NEVER buy an Apex product again. The picture quality was OK for TV viewing but horrible for gaming. I'll say it again WORST BUY EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Spend the extra money and get a good NAME BRAND!!!

Pros: durability, great pictures
Cons: The price when I bought it was outrageous

I really love my tv. Mine has lasted me 6 years and still going strong. The main thing I dont like is i had to get a tv stand to stand beside it to put my vcr and dvd player as it has speakers for a stand and you cant put it on a stand. .. and I paid $1700.00 ugh.

Pros: Cheap price.
Cons: Broke 3 days after purchase. Very bad customer service.

I bought the TV on 7/5/2004, broke 3 days later, screen flicked and remote doesn't work.
We called the Apex's customer server, after 35 minutes, only voice box available.
Customer service: 866 327 3946
Corp: 909 923 8686
Customer service 2: 909 230 4845
Finally, after 45 minutes, they put me on a line...I was caller number 14. 15 minutes later, I was caller 12.

Be wise, don't buy.

Pros: TV was great for the 8 months that it worked properly.
Cons: It only worked properly for 8 months.

I purchased this television in September 2003. It came from Rex's with a 2 year parts and labor warranty. It was picked up for repair on May 10,2004. It is June 23rd and I have yet to see my television. When the tech picked it up, he said that Apex was very slow about shipping parts. This TV had a defective board in it. It is a great TV if it never breaks down or needs parts. I will never go back to Rex's again, and I will never buy another Apex television. If someone gave it to me, I would sell it and get me something else, but I don't have the heart to stick someone else with this hunk of junk. So I would probably set it on fire.

i purchased this t.v. at a decent price and i feel now that i spend it well. i especially like the base t.v. color, silver. it's different. although things like sound could be inproved, it's a good t.v. i wouldn't have paid more than i did though now that i have the t.v.
