Purchased a RCA Televsion from a Walmart store in January 2008. It was defective right out of the box. It turns itself on and off at random. Sometime it will stay on for a few hours, other times it will go on and off every few seconds. At first I thought maybe something was wrong with the sleep timer. I had to download the instructions for the unit since none came in the box. Everything was programed correctly, just a defective Televison according to RCA/Thomson. Since it is still under the manufacturers warranty, they will gladly send me a new or refurbished one for on HALF the price I just paid for a new one. How generous of them. Walmart will do nothing since it is past the ninety days. Upon reading hundreds of complaints about this same senario on RCA Complaint boards, I really do think this is a scam. RCA is really raking in the dough on their defective products. Rca/Thompson will put you off week after week until your year warranty runs out. The few service centers they have left cannot get parts for repairs and the repairs will cost you a great deal in labor (which is not covered in the year warranty). I am warning anyone NOT to buy anything from RCA. Please read all the complaints first. They are TRUE, I am going through this right now. I wish everyone on the complaint boards would file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission, as this problem is all over the United States.
