As the manager of a Radio shack I have sold a few of these and my display TV which is on from about 8am to 8pm a day has never once flickered or showed and signs of failure. I have read all the review knocking the quality of this TV and I'd say its a nice tv for a decent price considering what it offers.

Scott customer service/company is a joke. After calling numerous time the non-working TV is still not resolved. TV still under warrenty, can't find a service center. All customer service can do is send e-mail to corp. office but can not give out phone number or email addy for such office. This TV is less than a year old and just turned off one day and will not come back on...no picture...no sound...just a blank screen. I would not recommend this TV or company to...family...friends or my worst foe. It's not worth the aggravation, headaches or frustration.
SCOTT revamp your policies...the customer is always right.

The only thing I want to say is, after few months of having the TV stop working, call the manufacturer on 12/05/07 because by that time still on warranty and as of today 05/16/2008 I am sitting waiting for a replacement. Have to pay to send the tv to the factory and also if I do not talk the way I did it I may had to buy the box too. [...]This is the worst investment I did in my whole life.

Radio Shack should be ASHAMED of themselves. Owned this garbage for exactly one year and twelve days. The same problem that many others have had with this system...the power quits. Nothing has been done to correct this problem and Scott TVs (which I believe are a product of Philips) are a joke. Have contacted the BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU and they do not recommend anybody to do business with this company.Twelve days after the warranty expired, television loses all power. Start doing research and find that nobody wants to help fix...that means Radio Shack and Television Company.So, I ask store manager if he is aware of what others are saying about this product and he states "no." So I told the store manager that he should be ashamed of himself for selling a piece of [*]to any customer. WELL INFORMED...Not!!!SHAME ON YOU RADIO SHACK AND SCOTT...You have lost my business for good...almost willing to throw this television through your front window at the Ogdensburg, NY store.I would not recommend this television to anyone...even my worst enemy!!! STAY AWAY FROM RADIO SHACK!!!!!!!!!!

It was my main set, my ps3 monitor, and my computer monitor. I used the HDMI port, the Component input, and the VGA input. I used to be a RS sales associate. Thankful that I actually believed in the radioshack service plan because this thing lasted 4 months out of the box. In every source the screen flashed from solid black to white to red to green to blue. The sound was fine but I couldn't sit and watch a show. Got the set replaced by radioshack service plans, and they let me keep the scott so I took it to a service center since it was still within the one year manufacturer's warranty and I haven't seen it yet.

Radio Shack will not stand by this TV. My Scott just quite working 9 months into my purchase. I had to pry warranty information out of my local store. Finally got an 800 number to Akai after several attempts. Once I called Akai, I was promised in home repair within 3 weeks. After waiting several more weeks, I again called. I was told there was no local service center in my area.
Again, after several more weeks I received a call from a TV dealer asking what my problem was. They had never heard of an Akai or Scott TV and would not come out to fix it unless I was willing to pay for the service. Once again, RS would not help resolve this, co I have a dead Scott TV that worked poorly for 9 months....for a total cost of ****.
I will not buy from RS again....and I certainly will not purchase anything from Scott or Akai!


Remote is terrible. Won't interface with other remotes, i.e. DTV.

3 months and 1 day after I bought this tv, the reviews came true. NO POWER. Called AKAI and stayed on hold for 2 hours, then hung up. Went to Radio Shack and he called and got through in 10 minutes. Was told to fax the reciept and could not get through for 3 days. Called back and they gave me a 2nd fax number and did not get an answer. Radio Shack manager said he would replace, but had to get 1 from another store. 3 days later TV came in cracked. Now looking for a new TV.

I would never recommend this TV to a friend or an enemy. The sound is poor, the power just quit, and I paid more than I should have. The warranty just expired. I purchased a TV/VCR combo TV in Japan in 1989 and it still works, even after numerous moves and miles of travel. Scott should be embarrassed to sell such a CHEAP product!!!!

We got this tv for christmas 2007. Set it up Christmas day to watch the parade, 2 hours later the picture went out. We had sound, just no picture. We had warranty so we took it in as soon as we could and radio shack replaced it. We set it up in a spare room, afraid to use it. Recently set it up in the living room again to use with PS3. It lasted maybe 6 months. We were watching TV and it just turned off and wont turn back on. Luckily we still have warranty so we will be going to trade it in for the 2nd time, hopefully this next one will last at least a year or until we save up enough cash to buy a nicer tv.

This is a GREAT LCD TV for the money. I don't have any of the issues some of the others mention, no hum, and the sound and picture are very good both with an HD source, and co-ax straight in from the wall. I use this in my bedroom and have no complaints except when used as a computer monitor.

Unfortunately the only VGA supported modes provide for a screen that is a little "squished". The resolution modes that would provide for a good monitor output, such as 1920 x 1080 are not supported and cause the screen to go black. When an S video connection is used, which does support any mode your graphics card will give you, the picture does not fill the entire screen leaving a black 3" "frame" around your desktop or whatever program you are running. I am upgrading my video card to support DVI out but as of now do not know if that will help.

Great value, very good picture, and no problems so far.

The TV reads and says its 720P/1080i.. NOT TRUE. i am using my 360 through the VGA plug and i get 1080p. PS3 onl;y 720p. not that i care... the audio can be bad. just turn base down. also the TV is huge. i though it looked small in the store and was gona buy a 42" instead.. but i went with this. dont be suprised if people mistake it for 42" the 1 complaint i got is only 1 RCA component plug so my dreamcast/xbox/wii/ps2/ps2 all need to be switched manualy... uhhhhh. but other then that. enough plugs. 1 vga for my 360, i HDMI for my PS3 and 2 composits. its easy to get behind the TV and do waht u need 2. i jsut cant believe how amazing it is. i recomend this to anyone looking for a tv that looks liek a $2000 model but cost u almost 1/4 the price.

I haven't seen any of these lines you people speak of the strange humming noise seems to change depending on the colour its displaying at the time which leads me to believe since lcd's themselves run on frequencies *meaning Hz* I can only asume that this is what is causing the noise. As for the sound I wouldn't know because my receiver does all of that noise :)

For the money, you're not going to find a better value. It's a good picture, not great. As for all the people who can't get it to work with a universal remote, that's fairly common in a new model TV. Give the remote companies a while, and they will catch up. If you don't have the patience to wait, get a philips programable remote (available at [...] for about [$]!). You can program this remote to control ANY function of the TV.

Terrible support from Akai/Scott

LCD developed a 1/4 wide fuzzy vertical line after 6 months.
Akai sent out a tech to repair for guaranteed in-home service. Tech determined it was unrepairable, stated no replacement LCD available. TV Should be replaced.
Akai office cancelled replacement and demanded it be returned for repair with a 6-8 week wait. Several resolutions were promised only to be cancelled by a manager.
Promised a box and UPS code were both in the mail weeks ago. I haven't seen either yet.
Even had Akai contact us to see if we were happy with the replacement we were originally promised.
Nightmare has been going on for over two months.
My 1-year warranty is almost out.

Look for another brand this holiday season.

I even tried the Akai codes, since I hear Scott TVs are just refurbished Akai TVs, but that didn't even work. Not being able to have a universal remote is more annoying than you would think. Its a pain to adjust the volume with one remote, and change the channel with the other. Also, the TV has been shutting down randomly as of late, which is equally annoying.

[...] The issue with going from mono to stero can be stopped two ways- use the mts on remote this will switch it for a while, if your connected to the wall outlet for cable put a cable box on and run the red, yellow, white cable from the box video out put to the video input on the tv
