“Great tv for great price!”

Levi R.
3/1/20

I was really skeptical at first, especially after reading the comments from here, but they delivered! If you don't mind possibly waiting a week or 2, but that's on the delivery company, not ABCTV's. The order went through fast, easy to communicate with. I'd recommend them, and you save lots of dough! I overall saved about $600 on the LG C9 65" tv from what I could purchase it for in the big box stores. Give them a try.

This has to be the worst service in television history! Your APP sucks, your live TV sucks! Nothing like trying to watch OU vs. TU and have the internet stream on your APP go out. Shoot everyone and hang all the executives, because you're a disgrace to TV. The people want their money back you crooks!

Bought a weber grill. Got it, but it was "HOT". Serial numbers were cut out from the grill and the literature. They said, come back to us for 10 yrs and we'll cover any issues. Issue came up, do you think they cover it?. Nope! Delay, Excuse, no response, etc. So this is the type of place that sells stolen merch. They also call you to upcharge you on a "feature" or two, but that's another scam that you should be weary of.

Was it really necessary that you bring the tragic death of Floyd and make it a part of the tv series? Are we NOT seeing enough of it already. STOP force feeding politics down our throats!

I have watched Question Everything tonight and it will be the last time I watch this diatribe of a show. It is not necessarily the content but the way it was presented. I find it insulting, condescending and full of untruths making this farcical humour boring and somewhat sickening. If this is how low the ABC has got with broadcasting you have lost my 3 cents. Will Anderson lift your game.

I went for the bait and switch because it seem to make sense. Weeks later I'm still waiting on the TV. I sent an email and their response was, if you cancel we will take $750 out of your deposit. Overall it feels like a low life sort of outfit. Instead of trying to make things OK with me they go straight to threatening me.

How can ABC keep this dumbass idiot. This is A total sloppy MESS. Insensitive comments. People have lost their jobs over less. ABC must set a higher standard and get rid of this idiot! We're talking about over 6 million deaths. Over 18 million family and relative survivors are insulted. Get it?

Researched the LG OLED line and settled on the 77" C9 model. Searched MANY web sites for this exact unit and ABC TVs had it (at a ridiculously low price) but after ordering, they said that wasn't the OEM build and that the OEM build would be $1,000 more. Since I already knew that was coming (after reading the other reviews here) I agreed and I still got the lowest price available from all retailers and the TV came two weeks later. Just exactly what I wanted and at the correct price. So, just remember there isn't such thing as OEM build and you will be just fine with these people (not sure why they feel they need to bait people this way).

I simply wanted to cancel my order before they processed my payment and shipped the tv. I realized I had not ordered what I thought I had. But when I got to them, the person could not have been more rude. He cut me off when I told him that I simply wanted to cancel my order before it was processed. And then hung up on me! About as unprofessional as can be. Something shady about this company. Check out their return policy BEFORE ordering. It's punitive.

Found the 82" TV I wanted for a great price so I placed the order on their website. Sent two emails to the company asking for an update on shipping information but received no response. Called them on a Tuesday (5 days after placing the order) and the first response I received was that their "server was down" and that they would call me back within the hour. No phone call received so I called them back a second time. The message I received was that they cannot deliver to Salt Lake City, Utah so they recommend that I contact another TV seller. The upside is they didn't charge my cc for the purchase. The downside is they set expectations high but failed miserably. Unless you're physically close to their distribution warehouse (or garage) then set your expectations accordingly.

I just found out the LG 75 inch TV they sold me this for the European market and does not work with the American iPhone screen share. This company made it look like it's good on the website with pricing but I guarantee you it's not your best bet is to go to Sam's or Costco or fries to purchase a TV at a great price and great customer service not this company

I ordered a TV on 5/31/2020 and my TV was delivered on 6/10/2020. I had "White Glove Delivery" but all they did was open the box to make sure the TV worked & wasn't damaged. I had to do everything else. My super helped me lift it onto my TV stand. I got a little up sell but it was well worth it to me. I am very happy with the TV I got and glad I spent the extra money. $200 difference between a 2019 & 2020 model with an extended service contract. I would buy from them again... Geno, NYC

You know, a lot of us have a Roku tv these days and a wifi connection not a TV provider... We've progressed! And it's pretty lame to make us have a TV provider in order to watch things like American Idol when it airs so we can vote or go pay $70! On Hulu.

Why David Muir is not talking about the Mexican border and covid19 as before when trump was president... he used to do it everyday. Pounding and criticizing him daily... this shows cowardice and extreme political bias as your channel is. If you want to see anti patriotism see yourself... shame on you for allowing those Muirs out there to have a pulpit and to show their disgusting bias levels... shame... shame... shame... pls all of you just shave your head and repent... Shame... shame... shame

ABC Tv's using 3rd party delivery services to save on shipping average deliveries take 3-5 weeks. They publish low prices to get you to place the order then they call you and tell you that price is " for TV's made overseas with questionable quality but we still have your TV model for this price." There is not a more dishonest firm in the country than ABC Tv's. If you get a TV for free from them do not take it -- Stay away.

The site listed one price, but when I added the TV to my cart the price jumped by over $200!

I called the 978 number to get clarification. "Al" never answered my inquiry about the price jump between site & my cart, or even honoring the price shown. He instead immediately launched into 2 minute scripted spiel in an attempt to upsell me on the same model, but $700 more expensive.

Why? Because "it is made from the actual manufacturer's factory in Mexico, instead of their licensed sub-contractor factory in Asia.

The one you saw is for commercial and hotels built to minimum spec. Only 2 year warranty. The other model -- oh go to my website and put in these three characters at the end of the model number you're looking at --- this is the good one and we include a 5 year warranty."

What?! All the OLED panels for LG originate from South Korea. All sub-components originate from China & Taiwan. Final assembly for North America takes place in Mexico - period because of NAFTA beating the import tariffs vs. Asia. This is why flat panel prices in the US have plummeted.

Moreover, why even list inferior goods on your site and not clearly label them as "commercial" if they are the commercial line? It's clearly a scam to get traffic "in the door."?

Why do I have to call you to get some secret internal SKU number that only your company uses to to have access to see the real price and prime goods?

No thanks. I'll trust my gut and walk away. You guys need to improve your business practices.

Bought a 86? LG Nano Cell, the day it came had problems called that day, they wouldn't take it back. They wanted to charge me 750 to ship back and 750 for restocking. Total ripoff. I called a company to delivery itv, they told mec175 dollars. They kept sending me to one person then another, huge scam. Go to best buy or Amazon, where they will do returns and cost you nothing. Worst purchase I have ever made.

These guys are legit! Bought my TV back in December (2019) with white glove delivery with a 5 year warranty included - Delivery guys made sure the TV powered up before they would leave - there was a cheaper version available but I wasn't looking for the lower bit option (maybe reason for others thinking bait & switch?)... I still saved over $500 compared to the national stores and even more with the included warranty and shipping and tax - the extra doe saved me so I could have the panel calibrated... The picture is incredible - a very happy camper here...

Tip for consumers:
Every time I have called (during biz hours) someone has pick up the phone... If you are concerned about some of the reviews, call them and use a credit card that has protection... My experience has been very good so I can't explain the negative reviews... I was not purchasing the cheapest 4K HDTV. I was looking for one of the best TVs available and new about the 8-bit (cheap panel) and 10-bit versions... I would not have purchased/afforded this TV if it wasn't for the pricing I received...

So many reviews to the tune of "I thought the deal was too good to be true and it was." Huh, no kiddin'? Have literally any of these people heard of cancelling a purchase? This site is obviously a scam and unless you're a senior citizen with cataracts, you should feel bad for not realizing it as soon as you saw the site.

I ordered an LG OLED TV on Labor day (Monday). I got an automated invoice that had the model number and the price and my information. No payment information or estimated shipping information. I waited Tuesday to get a shipping confirmation email, but did not receive one.
I called ABCTVs.com on Wednesday, waited about 5-6 minutes and a salesman answered. He looked up my order and transferred me to "Jack". Jack brought up my order, then said "Looks like you ordered the 8-bit OLED. You're ordering this for a business, right?". I've never heard of a 8-bit designation for a TV, nor did it state anywhere on their website that this was anything but the actual TV that you see in stores. Jack proceeded to say, "8-bits are not as bright/clear as the 10-bit models. The 10-bit models are what retailers like Best Buy sell. 8-bit models are for businesses. If you wanted the 10-bit model it will be $400 more." I was caught off-guard, and didn't want to agree without knowing I was getting a "deal". I asked about a 10-bit version on a different series of the OLED. He stated he could get me a new one for $60 more than what I originally agreed to pay (originally agreed to $1339). The TV would be new, original manufacturer packing and he would throw in a wall mount. He then told me the TV would arrive by the weekend and I should see an email with the tracking number. I got the email, it estimated delivery on Friday.

Friday comes, the TV arrives. I open the boxes carefully. The Styrofoam pieces are broken and falling everywhere. There was Styrofoam debris all over the TV. There was no TV wall mount included. The REMOTE was missing! The TV stand had visible damage. I turned on the TV and used a universal remote to test it out. The image looked fine, no burn-in. Initially, I didn't see any damage to the TV itself, but once I cleaned the Styrofoam off, I discovered several areas on the screen that had scuffs/scratches. I tried calling ABCtvs.com, but it was Friday evening and they were closed until Monday. I emailed them on Friday and Saturday asking for assistance. Today is Tuesday, and I have yet to get a reply. Did I get the right TV model? Yes, they sent me the correct TV. But everything else was not true. 8-bit and 10--bit? Why cloak this on the website unless you are scheming to up-sell people on the phone?
Two stars? I gave them two stars for sending me the correct model TV and shipping it to me quickly. I've ordered a replacement LG magic remote through Amazon. And bought a wall mount through Harbor Freight. In addition to the $1399 TV, I paid another $100 for a remote and wall mount that should've been included.
At the end of the day, I saved maybe $400 by buying this used TV with scuff marks instead of buying brand new through Walmart.com or eBay. The TV seems fine otherwise, and I don't notice the marks when watching the TV. If I did it all over again, I would've bought elsewhere. It's possible you may order and receive exactly what you're after, but I wouldn't recommend it. BUYER BEWARE of ABCTVs.com customer service. If ABCTVs.com responds or rectifies my problem, then I will update my review rating accordingly.

I struggled with what rating to give, so I did it in the middle.

I purchased twice from ABCTVs and never got the "too good to be true" advertised price. Always an excuse (commercial panel, bad parts, low quality panel, don't have unit, etc.).

The "bait" isn't real, but... After their "switch" to the higher priced unit the price was still better than others.

I also don't like that when checking out, no tax is shown but the invoice includes tax...

For me, their delivery people were good. They tried to work with me on delivery date and time and the people that did the delivery were friendly and courteous.

They unboxed the TV, turned it on, made sure it worked, then took a picture to show they did what they promised.

I hate the "bait and switch", but other options were not better.

I wish they just put the real price on the website. Bad reviews would be greatly reduced.

I order a LG 86 Nano tv online. After 5 days. I received an email that I better call these scumbags. So when I called my nightmare appeared during the day. Ryan of Abctv's said that I am purchasing the commercial version and it doesn't have a TV tuner and it is only 6 bit. If I wanted the residential version, I should add $800 more.
Damn these scumbags. Why is it 97% approval rating? Should be 3 percent!

Buyer beware!

Upscale call: Yes, siting cheaper LG panels made in China vs Korean made panels. True? I don't know, although in 2019, LG did begin making panels in China. Regardless, the higher priced tv was still $300+ cheaper than elsewhere on line. It was shipped the next day, arriving 3 days later via FedEx in perfect condition. No complaints at all.
