RCA - Thompson Electronics - Wal-mart RCA 32" HD Flat Screen TV/DVD Combo, sold at Walmart. Purchased on 2/21/09 for $618.00 The picture blacked out 5 months later. Still has sound, no picture. In exchange for my tax refund of $618.00, Walmart sold me an RCA 32" TV that broke down after only 5 months of use. The 1 yr warranty from RCA broke down after only 5 months. The warranty is a fake. Internet

RCA should offer a 1 year warranty on that.

But that is in no way Walmarts fault.

And Tv's don't make that much profit.  Some even lose money.  Just to give you an idea, the TV you are talking about makes about $20 for walmart where a $20 wall to usb charger makes about $15.

The RCA 32" LCD HDTV/DVD Combo Color Beyond Reality purchased 2-21-2009 needed a second repair at age 10 months.

I want to update my report. It took a couple of months of my TV sitting in the repair shop with phone call pingpong and faxing of purchase information to them but RCA finally gave the OK and authorized the repair. Two parts were ordered and RCA paid the bill including labor. My TV is better than ever. Great picture now. Thanks RCA. It was good to be without TV for awhile. My electric bill went way down. RCA and Walmart are off the hook. Great job guys. Thanks for caring and following through for me. Last but not least, thanks Rip Off Report. You were here at the beginning and end to let me express my complaint and satisfaction for my investment. Now my world is hunky dory. Ha Ha :) Note: Save your receipts for one year. And pray a lot. You will get results if you stay the course. RCA delivered. Walmart is a step ahead of other stores they show they care with state of the art bike racks out front. We can forgive RCA and Walmart they deserve a second chance. My TV is like new. My advice is keep it off during the hot weather.

the MERRILL LYNCH page of this site and read St. Clair's Ripoff Reports if you have a MORTGAGE, okay?

As I have read from others, your Google postings of this, that, and the other thing are irrelevant to any topic at hand with regards to Wal-Mart.  You are just trying to get attention like a child does.  Therefore I will treat you like one.

No matter what anyone has posted as a legitimate complaint, you always come up with the same old B.S. Google topics that have nothing to do with the stated complaint/complaints.

You seriously need to get a life, and your maturity level sinks to an all time low!!  Try working for a living, or get a constructive hobby.  Better yet, get married.....  If any woman would tolerate your B.S.

If you didn't read that article yet, simply 'Google' this- WALMARTS DEAD PEASANT SUIT AGAINST INSURERS ESCAPES THE GRAVE, and read it, okay?

Why don't you stop polluting the airwaves.  Nothing you say is ever constructive, or relevant towards any complaint.  You act, and sound like a moron!  Why don't you try, and aid someone sometime?!

I've seen your garbage posted everywhere, and that's just what it is GARBAGE!!!

Grow up dude!

I work for Wal-Mart going on eleven years, and I have seen my store going on a downhill slide, can't speak for other stores.  I don't buy anything electronic, I don't buy clothes (only in a dier emergency), etc.  Everything is cheap, not to mention ugly.  People hate the store, we don't have stuff that people want, or else Wal-Mart got rid of it.  It's not a pleasent place to work anymore.  I would bet if another store would come in and stick with it, and not be intimidate by Wal-Mart, WM would more that likely lose 75% of there customers, and more than likely most of their associates. I don't buy Wal-Mart if I don't have to.  I apologize to everyone that has had a bad experience with Wal-Mart, it's not going to get any better.

Seriously how is this walmarts fault and not RCA. Walmart is too nice about taking back crap, seriously.. Im glad they didnt take your TV back, this is between you and RCA not walmart.

As the other employee said there is many places with the return policy posted, a huge sign or two in electronics, by the register, etc. Walmart does more than their part on taking crap back. Next time don't buy a RCA tv, try phillips, samsung, LG, etc.

that Youtube video, okay?

'Google' this- WALMART WANTS YOU DEAD, and watch it on the web! Then 'Google' this- WALMARTS DEAD PEASANT SUIT AGAINST INSURERS ESCAPES THE GRAVE, and read that article now!

Walmart is always the villian... Yet you're the one that refuses to read the policy's. If you would look around in electronics you would see more than 10 signs clearly explaining the return policy and it's 90 day limit. Even at some facilities they're printed on your recipt. You should be angry at RCA, and yourself. Not walmart.

I can understand your beef with RCA, as it seems they may be having some issues at this time. That said, how long should WalMart be responsible for the products you purchase? 90 days is a very generous return policy, and we take things back, during that 90 days, pretty much no questions asked.

Too many people have the idea that if it's bought at WalMart it should never have to be bought again.
