Mikey Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 I buy a Toshiba HD TV 18 months ago, and I try to use 720p on it with my 360, and it wouldnt work, the picture would come out all distorted, but it could put out the HD resolution in some form, even it if came out all wrong. I thought, ok, maybe it can only do 480p through component, and thought nothing more of it. Well the same tv complete lost its sound tonight, so I look up the model on the internet and I find out 18 months after getting it, it CAN do 720p through component. Should I be entitled to a full refund considering the TV has been broken since I got it without realizing it until now? This is the TV I bought. http://www.reviewcentre.com/info-103613.html
Charlie Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Maybe you're setting it up wrong when you try and get it to display 720p, wrong resolution or something set on the Xbox? I doubt they'll repair it for you for free as you're out of you standard 1 year warranty.
Mikey Posted February 20, 2008 Author Posted February 20, 2008 I have an extended warranty on it until 2011, plus it displays 480p fine, but 720p is fucked. If they don't refund me, I want it totally fixed, sound AND 720p support.
Charlie Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 If you've got an extended warranty then they have to fix it for you if the sound breaking wasn't your own fault...
Mikey Posted February 22, 2008 Author Posted February 22, 2008 Repair man from Comet came out, and said the model didn't do 720p because of some copy protection. I felt like he was bullshitting me, so I called up Toshiba myself after he left, and they tested the EXACT same model I had with their Xbox 360, and it did 720p!!! Lieing *****!!!! This is the second time Comet have tried to fuck me over!!! I'm boycotting them!!!
Guest Jordan Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 Copy protection? What the hell? Component and VGA have no 'protection'. Hell, i don't even think the HDMI does either.
Mikey Posted February 22, 2008 Author Posted February 22, 2008 Yep, he kept saying it had copy protection through component, and only with hdmi you can be guaranteed hd. I kept arguing with him, but he wouldn't have any of it, and took the TV away to fix the sound. Toshiba were very helpful, and basically told me they were bullshitting me. If they don't fix my fucking TV, I'm reporting the fuckers. It cost 500 quid that TV!!!
