“Faulty Screen”
Written on: 26/08/2011
I had this TV for some considerable time and slowly (but steadily) over time it has degenerated! I have a random green line down on the far right hand side of the screen as well as a frequent distortion of the screen on the left hand side. The DVD frequently gets stuck and so it sometimes takes frustratingly long to play a film. I would not recommend this TV. Sticking to Japanese brands! (read more)

Written on: 22/05/2011
I must have been the luckiest person ever to have bought one of these that did not develop a fault, until 3 days ago. I have had it for approx 4 years ( 37" DMTech LCD tv ).
The picture is just ok, if you don't sit too close. The sound problem was rectified by passing it through a good AV amplifier instead of using the tv speakers. The built-in dvd player broke down within weeks of purchasing it and so a Comet repair person visited. He replaced it but did say that the dvd players always...

Complete waste of money!! The old saying you get what you pay for and yes these TV/DVD's are cheap and awful, DVD player stopped working after about 9 months, sound quality very poor, have to have sound level on 80 to be able to hear programs. Would not recommend. If I won this type of TV in a raffle I would give it back!! (read more)

Written on: 28/02/2010
I bought a DMTECH LT32DTY tv/DVD combo.I would strongly advise not to buy this brand. it has been back to repair twice in first year, channel select freezes so the screen goes blank, sometimes - NO INPUT appears on the screen.Still as bad after so called repair. The remote control needs to be aimed 100% directly at right part of the TV to work, not easy from 10ft away. Noisy DVD player which has now packed in. Wife hates this TV, toddler hates this TV, I hate this TV - what a waste of £700.... (read more)

If you haven't got one you missed out. This is the best 37 1/2 inch tv I have ever seen. The tvs that compare now are going for £1200 and do not even have a dvd player built in. We've connected ample add ons in that we have loaded up sky, the Wii, a PS3 and an old style video/dvd played (video for our 15 year old that still enjoys the disney films she watched aged 3). It has never played up, never let us down and even when sky has gone wrong we have the freeview to watch instead. Updates are... (read more)

Written on: 29/10/2009
I chose this on the basis of a very favourable review in a TV/HiFi magazine. I can only assume that they only had it a few days, because that's as long as mine lasted.
I returned it to the supplier,that well known worldly pc shop, and they effected a repair that lasted about a fortnight.
Also, the remote control requires a powerful lamp and magnifying glass to be able to see to operate.
Not a make I would ever choose again . . .
. . .not even if it was free ! ! !

I bought the dmtech 32" tv/dvd combi and was delighted to find out that the dvd was able to record tv programmes onto discs. WELLLLL I have only had it on my wall a week and the dvd has stopped working. It always made a loud whirring noise when playing but i just turned the volume up a bit but the last dvd i put in got stuck so it is now going back for a refund. Wish i had read up on it beforehand.Think i will now stick with a sperate dvd player. (read more)

Intergrated Freeview & DVD Player... works well.
Buying something expensive as a LCD TV would certainly prompt me to take out an extended warranty whether it be with the company I bought it from or an insurance company.
I actually have a 26" DM-Tech 3117WD tv, I bought it in 2006 with no warranty and also bough my father one at the same time. Touching wood all is well with both units no DVD fault or anything.

Naively, i bought an integrated tv/dvd - my mates said "never buy integrated stuff - if one bit is broke, it's all broke" - how right they were - i will now have to buy a separate dvd player, which i should have done in the first place.
My advice: don't be duped, buy a good tv and a separate dvd player - more expensive, maybe, but by far more reliable.

DON'T BUY ONE!! I bought a 26" LCD/DVD combination back in 2005 from Leekes in Cross Hands, Ammanford, South Wales. No warranty purchased though at the time. Salesman not sure about reliability but reassured us that was a quality make. Attracted by integral DVD player as it was to be a 2nd TV for bedroom. Had difficulty obtaining wall bracket but found one and had improvise brackets and fixings. No problem though and TV worked a treat until early 2008. Then only the red dot would flash &...

Written on: 04/04/2008
DM Tech 20 inch LCD TV & DVD combination were strongly recommended by the salesman at Curry's. The set was not cheap, so, falling into the trap of thinking that paying a bit more and taking the recommendation of Curry's salesman would ensure quality viewing, I bought it. Wild horses wouldn't get me to buy another DM Tech TV and it's the last time I bother with Currys. (read more)

Now 1 month outwith the year guarantee, it's not working and after telephoning Dm Tech guy's I was told the TV would have to be replaced and was promised a call back regarding a price!

Written on: 24/12/2007
My DMTECH 20" LCD TV/DVD (DML-3117WD), which I had only used in my bedroom, lost its picture after approximately 7000 hours of service. The proposed life of an LCD screen is 50,000 so this was well short of its expected lifetime. After reading various forums I contacted DMTECH with trepidation and asked them about repair. They said they could repair it and they would send a courier to pick it up. They said it would be returned in one week. I asked for reassurance that I'd get my own set back... (read more)

Until the problem with the DVD player I had been happy with this product. Yes it was a risk to buy a combined unit. If one component goes wrong you may end up have to buy a whole new product again.
Just 2 months outside the 2 year warranty the DVD player started making noises when playing DVDs so much so that you can't watch a DVD. Our local repair shop checked it out and contacted DMTECH or rather their UK repair centre. They said they have changed the DVD mechanism, they don't make...
