The worst tv l have ever owned. Shocking. Gets itself in a mess so have to power off at the mains, internet connection is poor and changing channels, channel guide etc, every thing you would normally do with a tv is incredibly slow. Avoid at all costs. Update: SOLVED IT. Go to Settings, Profile, HbbTV and turn this OFF. MY TV WORKS AS A NORMAL TV. Powering up, Changing Channels, TV Guide, all quick as it should be. 😁

This is the worst TV I have ever bought. Constantly having to switch it off and on. You can be sitting watching a programme and it will switch itself off without warning. Transitioning between apps or Home Screen or guide screen is so slow and clunky. The functionality of it is very poor compared to other TVs. I thought I would give this company a go but I would never buy a jvc again.

Constantly having to turn TV off and on again- issues with Internet connectivity. Also issues responding to the remote and sometimes screen and sound mismatch. TV is less than 18 months old so would definitely expect better!

We purchased this tv for our mum as a birthday present, what a BAD move was that!!! The TV has been returned under warantee twice and STILL does not connect to catch up channels unless you reset it via reset factory settings which takes ages ggrrrrrrr. My mum has even changed her broadband supplier so she has a fast speed but the problem remains which proves it is a fault with the TV. She just gets the circle of doom going round and round which never connects, it is the most frustrating TV we have ever owned and certainly do not recommend it. My poor mum is now left with a TV which does not do what it is supposed to and her warrantee has now run out. Needless to say unless JVC do the right thing and replace it as a faulty item then we are stuck with it. 😡

Probably the slowest and most horrible TV I've ever owned - takes 1 min just to get the thing to start- AVOID AT ALL COSTS

We purchased a JVC fire tv edition LT-40cf700 from Curry’s 26/12/21 it has to be said it’s the worst tv we have ever owned. Thee picture quality is dreadful unless you standing in front of it and when you switch it on you can make a coffee before the picture comes on. Curry’s offer was to have it repaired I suggested keeping it and giving us our money. You can guess the response was!!

Purchased jvc 55 in tv from curry worked for just over a year there wa see update on screen never worked again. Curry’s gave me conflicting advice on the phone for 3 hrs one day 2 hrs next day. Informed it could not be repaired by curry’s tech team. Then came the conflicting advice. Tried finance company and ombudsman no success

The JVC television I bought from Curry's is faulty. It frequently locks up, not responding to the remote. It is necessary to unplug the set from the mains and wait for some time before switching on again to get it working. This morning it sat for over 10 minutes saying "Retrieving Data". Eventually I had to turn the set off at the wall again and wait for some time before switching it on to get it working. The set is only six weeks old, Curry's will not take it back. Totally unfit for purpose and would not buy another JVC.
