Starwolf says "RCA Scenium HD50LPW175 a lemon" about RCA - 50" diagonal RCA Scenium DLP HD Television

I will never buy another RCA. The TV broke after 5 months and was repaired 4 times by them. The warranty went out waiting for parts. They do not stand by 1 year warranty and after 3 years of writing and calling them they offered me a 3 year old model that was not available anywhere for sale as it was sitting in their warehouse...not even on ebay. I fought them myself and got a refund after 3 years.

sam77 says "Beware do not buy" about RCA - 50" diagonal RCA Scenium DLP HD Television

The RCA 50" hdtv is the worst purchase I think I have made. First the bulb explodes, but the bulb is not under warranty, then the color wheel burns out around $500 later the tv worked again, now the color wheel has burned out again 9 months after the the other one was installed. I called RCA since its not under warranty (this all began when the warranty ran out)" they can't help me, I need to take it in and get it fixed" my question was will I have to buy a new wheel every 9 months? They can not guarantee parts. I think I have a $2,000 paperweight. I feel like I pouring way to much money in this set, if I would have given up I could have bought a new lcd or plasma with the money that's in this one. Terrible, terrible purchase by the time I get done I will have an extra $1100 in this set in repairs and they won't give me any guarantee it won't be more because "no one else has had problems with this tv"

yooper30005 says "RCA 50DLP I will not buy another RCA!" about RCA - 50" diagonal RCA Scenium DLP HD Television

We purchased the RCA Scenium 3.5 years ago. It is not working, again. The light bulb burned out after a little over a year of use. After spending 225 dollars on a new bulb the tv worked fine. Now, after making some noise, the tv will not turn on. From what I have read it could be one of the fans, or something worse. I am debating between bringing the tv in for repair, or just throwing in the towel and buying an LCD. If it is going to cost me another $1000 for repairing it I would rather take the money and buy something new......like a Sony, or Toshiba. The RCA DLP has a nice picture when it works, but it is not worth the expense of trying to keep it running. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT UNLESS YOU HAVE A LOT OF MONEY FOR UP-KEEP!...

dchristman01 says "RCA Model HD50LPW175 is a very poor choice when looking for a TV" about RCA - 50" diagonal RCA Scenium DLP HD Television

dchristman01 — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 00:27:43 GMT

I got a new RCA HD50LPW175 Scenium TV in 2006. I hardly ever used it because of a busy lifestyle. After two years I could not turn on the set. All that happened was the blue lights in front flashed five times and the set would not come on. The trouble shooting section in the manual stated that this was an indication of a bad bulb. I bought a new bulb and installed it. Still did not work. I took it to an authorized RCA repair facility and they said there was a problem with the power supply which would cost $400-$600 to repair. I had been reading terrible reviews about this particular model on the internet. I went back to the repair center and I told them I was cutting my losses and he coukd keep the set and use it for spare parts. I was not interested in spending any money on such a piece of junk. I will never buy an RCA again, and certainly not another DLP.

RCA is a brand that I always trust and rely on. I have never had a negative experience with any of their products that I have ever purchased. The TV features a very clear picture and I believe that the quality surpasses any other brands that are on the market. I would recomend this TV to anyone who is looking for a reliable TV....

prl10777 — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 14:41:15 GMT

We love this TV but the sound is not that good so we purchased a surround system, however the picture is great, especially in HDTV. I would definately reccomend this to a friend, and the sound on all these larger lcd tv's is not that great. It is very heavy so make sure you have someone to help you or get the company to delive it ....

magenta687 says "Best picture for the money" about RCA - 50" diagonal RCA Scenium DLP HD Television

magenta687 — Sat, 17 Nov 2007 06:12:30 GMT

We purchased this TV almost two years ago, and it has been awesome.

We compared the picture to the other TVs in the store, many of which were in the $3-4k range. This TV was easily the best of the bunch and surprisingly the price was under $2k.

This TV is also HDMI capable, so you can play videos on your computer and view them on the TV screen.

The user interface is very easy to understand and the manual is very thorough.
