I bought a new Akai Television from the metro in 2008; one of my friend took me there as she was a member. The television model was good and they gave us 5 years of warranty so we opted for it. But after 6 months the picture quality was not clear at all. The remote was not at all working we have changed more than 3times the batteries still we are facing the same problem.
Then later when we on the TV we couldn’t see the picture for 5min we could hear only the sound. We want it to be replaced since we had the warranty, but unfortunately we bought from metro we couldn’t go there for replacement, nor we had time so I went to a near by TV electrician for the service to be done. He said the tube of the TV had gone it needs to be replaced and it will cost around RS1500. We did not have any option so we got it done with him, but after the service also we could not see the clear view of the picture. We complained to the electrician he said that he got it repaired with great difficulty. Many Akai televisions are facing the same problems so nothing can be done.
Now the speakers of the TV have gone bad, the sound is not at all clear.
So if you want to purchase a Television set please don’t go for Akai set this is the worst of all television sets in the market.
as a consumer I am negetively rating this product.
