ATI TV Wonder 650: Is it fact or internet rumor that this product has been recalled by ATI and has been pulled from both the store and internet shelves of Best Buy?

engadgethd.com and dailytech.com both have articles that this item was recalled by ATI. I was at Best Buy here in Vegas yesterday (9/27/06) and they had some on the shelf. There and Amazon are the only places I have seen them so I'm going to assume it was just an oversight by them and will wait for the new ones to come out.

Just saw a youtube video of a guy baking the HDMI board. The commentators claim it works. Not for the faint of heart, though. I have the same issue. Will try with Onkyo first to see if they agree to repair it. If not, I'll bake the board. What's the worse that could happen?

Stay away from Abe. They are dishonest and will rip you off. Better to buy it from a legitimate retailer or better yet wait a little while and see if prices will drop more. Since the new panasonic plasmas were announced last week this line will get replaced very soon.

I have been asking this question since it's debut. I have called Philips and got nowhere with their customer service rep, now the funny thing is they didn't even know that Best Buy dosnt carry their brand of tv anymore infact they were shocked to find out that there was no US version of the HTS8140 soundbar available. How do people that work for the company not know this stuff?

You are right about the 4665 price fluctuations. I got it from Electronics Express (through Amazon) for $1950 + shipping, problem is they are out of stock. It's been 3 1/2 weeks since my order. Normally I'd cancel and go through someone else, but I now can't find the tv in stock for any less than $2450! I'm not willing to pay an extra $400, so continue to wait for EE to get a new shipment in.

I ordered mine a few days ago after doing research, blah blah... went to Best Buy who had it for 1299.00 and it was not in stock, cannot be delivered, and on back order until Sept. I had checked Amazon just incase this happen so went home and purchased. I am soo hoping everything receives well. I am having it delivered to my UPS Store, so I will at least have an audience when I unwrap it. I just hope Pilot doesn't baulk at delivering to a box number. @Leonard, sorry to hear of your troubles, for it does seem a gamble to order anything like this from an online retailer and delivery.

It has been a month since I contacted Sony regarding the kdl-46vl150 shut off problem. I have been told that the replacement part is in indefinite back order and have been offered a replacement TV, model number kdl-46ex700. I have researched the model and its an up grade to the 150. Its not a 2011 model but considering that the 150 is a total LEMON I'm going with the exchange for the 700. And as Denyse stated document and nag nag nag.

Coby is now out of business and has recalls on 32 inch tv's. I got my son this 39 inch tv last year and he's had no problems with it, luckily!

well... someone reported getting $500 off the $1749 price which would make the tv 1249. Then co-incidentally, or not, the posts disappear the same day. I tried to get the tv for that price 43 minutes after their post and was unable to do so. Mistake by Amazon?

Yes, Teri this unit within the date code range of 121510 through 111011 is on the recall list. We called the company that manufactured the part in the recall and they have already begun our refund process. Would we buy another one? Most definitely (obviously not one manufactured during that time frame). We have absolutely no complaints! It was still running great this morning and your question was the only thing that alerted us to the recall. The recall was actually initiated by Gree and covered 12 brands.

Amazon and TLC are completely negligent for still having the firmware update on their websites that breaks your TV! Come on guys, can't anyone have enough thought and initiative to take it down? Is there someone, anywhere that is a thinking employee?

My tv was just picked up! Called Samsung and got the same response they gave you - a repairman would come out and if it couldn't be fixed it would have to be sent away for service. As you, I did not think I needed to have a brand new tv sent out for repair and decided to return it. I am now watching my old 19" set (gave my 26" away when I got the Samsung!). Have you had any luck yet? I am considering Toshiba.

I just wanted to warn people. After I saw the post by "Internet Shopper" I did some quick background reasearch on basics4home (the person/company selling the TV for $1649). On Ebay the guy/company got a lot of negative comments recently - check this out http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid;=basics4home&ftab;=AllFeedback.So be warnwed - I would have been tempted - but the feedback about him being a potential scamster puts me off.

I hate this too. Makes it too damn hard to shop if I have to go all the way to checkout just to see a price. They use to have a button you could click in the add to see the price, and that is still the way that Best Buy does it. I have to say, it's 100 times easier to shop on Best Buy's site, than it is Amazon's. If Best Buy wasn't a rip off, I'd just buy the TV there.
