I have this TV now for a bit over 18 months. My TV needs a manual now to get it turned on. First press the on button (nothing will happen). Wait 5 second and manually turn of the TV at the bottom of the unit. Wait another 5 secs and turn it on. Press the ON button again. Repeat until you get a picture (usually around 3 - 4 times). When I have a picture is is an extremely bad quility. Repeat all steps until Picture is clear (about 10 times).

This TV I did buy in Aruba by Price Smart. Some of my friend also did buy this TV at the same time and also they have the same problems like I have.

After investigating online it seems that the power supply is the problem, and that this is very very normal for this TV.

Akai will not help as it is no longer in warranty, and getting it fixed is about $350.

DO NOT BUY THIS TV.

Purchased this tv, after six months it would power off when it got warm, so we exchanged for a newer model and now the new one after a year will not turn on. For a while if we pushed the power button over a 100 times it would finally come on a couple of nights ago it took an hour and a half before it would come on and tonight it does not come on at all.

After owning this for 1 year now....I'm having major problems with it powering on after it's off for any length of time.
I use it primarily as a monitor.

THE AKAI TV IS BAD NEWS! POWER SUPPLY PROBLEM STARTED 13 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE - OUT OF WARRANTY! CALLED LOCAL REPAIR SHOP, WAS ADVISED
THE NEEDED POWER SUPPLY IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. FOUND ONE FOR $189 -
COST TO INSTALL: $150. TV ONLY COST $499! WILL NOT BUY ANYTHING
FROM AKAI EVER AGAIN.

We bought a 27" AKAI LCT2701TD TV from Costco three years ago for $800. The power supply failed after three years! It costs $300 to have it fixed and then it will probably fail again. DO NOT BUY AKAI products
