I have a Toshiba, a Mitsubishi and a Thomson (a French brand, I believe).

Ironically, I've just given up my TV licence, which I'd held since 1981.

^ I've seriously wondered for some time whether the TV sets (and other household electronic devices) which bear the name of iconic Japanese brands like Sony, Hitachi, Panasonic etc, are still manufactured by those companies. I've had the impression that many items which bear those names are these days manufactured by companies in countries like Turkey, Slovakia, Thailand etc which have bought, or licensed, the brand name from the Japanese companies.

Certainly products with the Sony and Panasonic name which I bought during the period 1990-2010 couldn't compare in quality terms with genuine 'made in Japan' items that were manufactured in the 1970s and 1980s.

Both of mine are Sceptre (a Wally World special). One is located in my bedroom, the other is in the living room, connected to my computer. I don’t have cable, ESPECIALLY with the onerous rates A$, err, Comcast charges, although I do have internet through them, with their Internet essentials package (since I’m on Medicaid and SNAP, in addition to Medicare).

Sony LCD, Sony projection, Toshiba projection, VIZIO LCD, Westinghouse (older tube tv), Magnavox (older tube tv) to name a few. I keep the older models on hand for playing vintage video gaming systems.

i think Samsung. it hangs on the wall.
my sister bought it for us and she and her H put it up-
as my kid with severe ASD has broken many many laptops and ipads and cell phones (among other things, but i mean related to watching videos)--

even if kept out of his reach he has found ways to get to them - in his hyperness --

while watching things he likes (usually the same 5 seconds rewinded again and again, the preference for what these 5 seconds should be changing all the time)


however what he did about 2 or 3 months ago was climb up on the thing there that was intended to block off the wires (for internet/tv) --

to watch it closely-
and in his eagerness and hyperness he slammed his hand on it-- in front of me - i was trying to get him not to -and it stopped working after that completely.

If you're not seeing a power light when you turn the tv on,
I would check the power cable is firmly seated in the back
of the tv, as it might have been pushed into the wall from
the impact and become dislodged from the socket.

My brother in law n sister justnow left.. They cqme by n installed this called Roku to replace the. Samsung one (which was ALSO a present from them) that my elder finally broke by climbing up and slamming his hand on it in excitement.


My brother in law ALSO spent hours rewiring....

making everything safe inc covering n adhering wires in such a way he cant scrape them off n bite them like he did many times before fr lots of things n destroyed them..
I am so happy!!



They esp my BIL basically solved a problem we have been trying to solve for years!!



As he breaks anything even phones n special sturdy ipads covered in a way to make them " unbreakable" for him that are kept out pf reach he still managed..


I may have mentioned here before but he has to have 5 seconds that keep changing of different baby einstein episodes rewinded again n again



Which nothing can fixnot therapy nothing..
So this was REALLY important fr him ..
