I have the black screen problem also, as well as horizontal and vertical lines running across the screen. This TV is only 2 years old! Sanyo offers no help. I am told it is a bad LCD panel, which would cost me $1000 to fix. Several people online are having the same problem.

UNACCEPTABLE! DO NOT BUY SANYO!

Had this TV for about a year and a half. Right half of the screen cuts out, after a few hits on the TV it comes back. Sometimes this will last, sometimes not. I guess Sanyo and poor TV’s are synonymous. My fault I should have done my homework. I will not make this mistake again. Do yourself a favor, save yourself some headaches and stay away from Sanyo.

Same crap here, entire right side of screen of black for 1st 20 minutes then black strip across the top third of the screen all of the time. POS, never buy another Sanyo product again. Can’t beleive there is no recall

I too have the black boxes/clouds all over my 2 year old TV and it’s sad:(
I called Sanyo though and they admitted there was a problem with the set. I agree they should replace my TV but it’s been 2 years so the warranty has passed.
I did however receive an offer for a brand new 46 in ch TV shipped for free for $350. That have fixed the problems with the panels and I have put it on my credit card so if the problem arises again (which they promise it won’t) I’ll get the money back from them through my credit card company.
. I like the quality otherwise and for $350 and the knowledge that this time I’m protected I feel good about trying a Sanyo TV again.
Maybe you guys should call them too??

Hopefully there is power in numbers… We’ve had our sayno tv for four years… about two into it the almost famous black bar became part of the family… It ticks me off that we spent our hard earned money (approximately 130 hours of our lives) on something that we researched for months, just to be stuck with a problem that is going to cost us more money to fix… Next time I won’t be buying a sayno, considering there customer service skills… or lack there of.

same problem – don’t buy a Sanyo unless they do something about their defective product.

I bought the same TV, also from Walmart. It’s about a year and a half old, and we have the right side of the screen in a faded shadow all the time now. When it started it would fix itself after 5-10 minutes, but now it’s just stuck that way. Very unhappy.

I bought a Sanyo 46″ and paid over $1200 from Walmart 2 years ago and for the past two week exactly half of my tv screen has a black shadow covering the screen. This is so embarrassing especially when new visitors come over. Sad, I am so very disappointed, I thought I was buying a great tv because I have a older model Sanyo, not a flatscreen that still works and have had this tv for over 7 years.
