Who the heck is Dynex?
I am shopping for a plasma TV for my mother-in-law and came across a
Dynex which is $200 less than similar sets by known names. OK, repair guys, what's the scoop on Dynex? TIA John AnaTek Corporation www.anatekcorp.com |

put finger to keyboard and composed: I am shopping for a plasma TV for my mother-in-law and came across a Dynex which is $200 less than similar sets by known names. OK, repair guys, what's the scoop on Dynex? TIA John AnaTek Corporation www.anatekcorp.com The web site ... http://www.dynexproducts.com/t-contact.aspx .... states that "repairs and returns under manufacturer warranty are handled by your local retail provider". This suggests that Dynex may be a department store brand. The "Where to Shop" link directs you to ... http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....e&isCarFi=null .... which suggests that Dynex may be a Best Buy brand. The following document may give a clue as to the identity behind the brand. Universal Remote Control Codes: http://www.dynexproducts.com/skins/s...s%207-9-07.pdf It appears that Dynex and Insignia may be from the same stable. Many of the remote codes appear to be used by Orion, Emerson, Memorex, Sansui, Sylvania, and Zenith. Other models use Mitsubishi codes. - Franc Zabkar -- Please remove one 'i' from my address when replying by email. |

OK, repair guys, what's the scoop on Dynex? Why even ask a question like that? Did you ever see the picture on a Dynex? I did one time at Pest Buy and it was uglier than Ashleigh Cope's snatch. When the television needs repair, which is usually about 3 hours after the warranty expires on those cheap brands, then forget it, it's not serviceable as they do not service them just give you a new one (should one fail during the warranty period.) In the long run, you probably won't be saving $200.00. TIA John AnaTek Corporation www.anatekcorp.com |

I wouldn't deny it for a second, bitch. In fact, not only would I not deny it, I would tell you why I did it - because Harvey Daye Junior is an emo-kid-****ing jerkoff and I'll probably do it again. Now if you want to save $200.00 and buy a cheaper plasma, and teach me a lesson while you're at it, then that's your prerogative. Now many people including myself, will get turned on by the lower price, just to have the mother****er fail shortly after the warranty. They contact the company and spend hours on hold, that is only if the company is still in business. Cheaper electronics manufacturers don't support their products, just replace them if they fail under warranty. And after the warranty, **** it as it is more than unlikely any television repairman can repair it. This isn't the case with name brand manufacturers which supply parts and service manuals to television repairmen. So back to the electronics store it is to finally get the name brand at the higher price, paying more than if you just went with the name brand to begin with. |

Who the heck is Dynex?
Dynex is the best Buy house brand name. Usually these units are nearly
identical to the actual manufacturer's brand name unit, but have Dynex labeling and exterior cases. Bob "John Bachman" wrote in message ...

OK, repair guys, what's the scoop on Dynex? TIA John AnaTek Corporation www.anatekcorp.com If you decide to buy one, hook it up to your PC and capture the EDID. Device Manager, or your registry, should identify the TV using the A/N code in the EDID EEPROM. Hopefully the data will identify the original manufacturer rather than Dynex. For example, here is a dump of the EDID EEPROM in a HP L1502 15" monitor: ================================================== =================== C:\utils\EDID\Datadebug hwp2600.bin -d 100 20 0D 01 03 68 1E 16 B0-EA 12 E5 9A 57 4F 93 26 ...h.......WO.& 110 21 4E 53 AD EE 00 01 01-01 01 01 01 34 00 4E 11 !NS.........4.N. 120 01 01 01 01 01 01 64 19-00 40 41 00 26 30 18 88 ......d..@A.&0.. 130 36 00 2C DC 10 00 00 18-00 00 00 FF 00 43 4E 43 6.,..........CNC 140 33 33 32 30 4D 50 59 0A-20 20 00 00 00 FD 00 38 3320MPY. .....8 150 4C 1E 3D 08 00 0A 20 20-20 20 20 20 00 00 00 FC L.=... .... 160 00 68 70 20 4C 31 35 30-32 0A 20 20 20 20 00 95 .hp L1502. .. 170 25 47 80 FC 0D 74 04 41-E9 01 FF 26 80 3E 43 04 %G...t.A...&.C. -q ================================================== =================== The above data were extracted from the following key in the Windows registry: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Enum\Monitor\HWP2600\PCI_VEN_53 33&DEV_8811_BUS_00&DEV_02&FUNC_00] - Franc Zabkar -- Please remove one 'i' from my address when replying by email. |
