JVC TV and Currys - Avoid and Avoid!
I bought this JVC TV (JVC LT-50CA890 Android TV 50" Smart 4K Ultra HD HDR LED TV with Google Assistant) from Currys PC World back in Feb 2021 and what a mistake it was. It was okay for the first month or so then I started to load on the Disney app and also Netflix and the problems started. Almost every time I watched something via an app on the TV it buffered or played the audio without the images, it was a joke. I upgraded my internet to the Virginmedia 600mbps and also bought a mesh wifi system and in the room with the JVC TV on wifi a speed test had results of 280mbps. It still buffered, so i used an ethernet cable and guess what, it buffered. I went to Currys today and asked if they could exchange it as it's been 5 months and it's impossible to watch anything whilst streaming on this TV and they said that it had to be sent away for repair. I said to the polite man who was at the PC World customer service desk that all he had to do was look at the ever growing reviews on this TV to see that it was not a fault rather a issue with all to all JVC TVs that were used for streaming, but he said that, though he had seen a lot of that brand come back it might not be related! Anyway, letting them have the TV for repair and hoping they don't come back with the "everything is fine with the TV" line as I know it's not! Avoid all JVC TVs, they are budget and fine if you use with a TV box that can stream but using the TV and it's apps, well forget it. Should not be sold as a smart TV as there is nothing smart about it.
