I read reviews on Walmart.com about the tv failing too soon. I purchased mine July 2015, and this is Jan 18 2016- about an hour and a half ago, i was turning down the sound, in order to switch inputs. All of a sudden, the tv(which was, at the time, displaying hdmi input from my desktop pc) began to cycle through about 10 or so, vivid, full screen colors. It would not register any input from the remote, also. I then unplugged it and waited a few seconds... when i plugged it up again, it powered on with the sceptre logo, on its own, i did not power it on... then it began to cycle the same colors, but there was audio coming through the speakers from my coaxial antenna connection.
I contacted walmart through live chat, and the representative was about to issue a refund... she then told me that it had been too long to give a refund and gave me a toll free number and website of Sceptre. When i called sceptre there is no customer support available... the machine prompted me to leave a message. Sceptre's live chat only sent and email to sceptre.
I will try and contact sceptre again in order to get fair compensation, but i advise anyone considering purchasing a tv from walmart to buy the protection plan. I wish that I had done that 6 months ago.
