Loading ...The Element FLX-2611B is a 26 inch LCD flat panel HDTV that is available from popular retailers like Circuit City. The FLX2611B is a widescreen HDTV set in an all black case. The two speakers are bottom mounted which helps reduce any excessive width. If you are limited to a certain screen size because of an existing entertainment unit, bottom mounted speaker TV’s will typically fit better. The Element FLX-2611B has pretty similar specifications and features as other HDTV’s in this price range but it a little bit on the high end for a budget priced LCD HDTV.

A review of the FLX-2611B finds that it is pretty comparable to other budget priced brands out there. At just under $550, its a little bit more expensive than some other budget priced LCD including the Element FLX-2610 that we previously reviewed. These HDTV features are listed to be exactly the same so the only difference should be the exterior color. So if you’re not picky about the color of your LCD HDTV, you could save about $70 by getting the FLX-2610.
YouReviewElectronics.com gives the Element FLX-2611B 7/10 stars!

I purchased this TV and in 8 months it broke. To get warranty work completed you must box it up and pay to ship it to California then wait 3-6 weeks to get it returned. If it cannot be fixed they are able to provide you a refurbished set instead. Great customer service. I also had to wait 37 minutes on the phone to talk to someone. I wouldn’t purchase one again based on warrant alone. Not worth the aggravation.
I purchased this TV 11 months ago at Circiut City,which is now out of business-
it just quit working last night- they must be made to only last for as long
as the car ride home. It now appears that I’m out 450.00 in less than a year.
Like S. Solis I WILL NEVER buy this product again!
NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM ELEMENT ELECTRONICS…The three minute phone wait was 50 minutes!!! I bought a TV at Circuit City less than 1 year ago…it died, they want $232.00, shipping, not to mention the cost of parts and labor…..you are kidding me! It would be cheaper tp buy another one of their defective excuses for a TV. than to get this Piece of S__t!
The person on the phone (tech support, not the sharpest knife in the drawer)) doesn’t even work for the company. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND PASS THIS PRODUCT BY!
I also bought the Element 26 in T from Circuit City and it got a scrambled picture after 8 mos. I paid $110 to ship it to California and received it 2 mos later. The picture is now black. The sound is perfect but there’s no picture – 6 mos later. As the other reviewers agree – PASS ON THIS TV, IT’S OBVIOUSLY JUNK!
Purchased the 26 inch Element at Circuit City 1 YEAR AGO, wife shut it off before going to bed, in the morning it did not want to turn on anymore even after unplugging and after checking rear fuse. AVOID THIS COMPANY LIKE THE PLAUGE.
Purchased motor home 8 months ago with a brand new 26 inch Element. After two weeks the screen would go black, but sound would be perfect. Even does it when watching a dvd. Sometimes it will stay on for an hour, some times three hours. I will NEVER BUY AN ELEMENT PRODUCT OF ANY KIND.
Just as the others on here…I purchased this budget 21″ Element tv from Circuit City about 6months ago…you guessed it! It is now sitting on our bedroom floor because the screen is has gone black with the sound still coming through. I brought up our 19″ (Element too) from the basement into our room, that has not been used very often. Let’s see how long it takes for this one to crap out! DONOT!! buy anything from the manufacturers of Element.
I bought an Element on Black Friday ( almost a year ago)…think 30 inch and have had it mounted on my bedroom wall since then. I may watch it for 30 minutes a week. For the past month, a message began popping up on the screen that says “Not Supported”. Then the picture gets distored within minutes and makes a squealing noise so loud that my neighbors can hear it. Eventually the screen turns bright blue and then to black. It will not respond to the remote or manually to turn it off. I have never seen anything like this and I will never purchase an Element product again. The biggest rip off I have ever been party to! I wanted to save money for my bedroom TV because I spent s much on my livingroom TV (Samsung plasma 40″). But now I understand why it is worth paying so much for a decent name brand! Because of the quality…which Element has no concept! What a joke…I’m out 400.00, but at least I have learned a hard lesson…NEVER BUY ELEMENT!!!
When it comes to making TV’s, this company is OUT OF IT’S ELEMENT! Like the other reviews here, the 26″ Element TV, I bought for my mom less than a year ago from Circuit City is a piece of crap…shuts down for long periods of time, have to unplug from wall for red light to come back on, or turn on at TV power button as remote control will not work. My mom has trouble walking, so getting to the TV is difficult (not that that’s the answer). Called a customer service #, today, which took forever to speak with a dim witted fellow. I can return it for repair at my own shipping expense. Having little faith in this companies service, product, and turn around time, I think I will save the shipping charges and apply it to a new TV and more trusted brand. I usually make better informed buying decisions, and was hasty in not researching Element products.
