Proscan 40" TV from Best BUy - screen freeze, screen goes blank

Just bought it, great price.
When I go to work, I leave it on all day for the cat, and also to burn it in.
The 3 days i did this, it had a problem each day, at some point.

2 times went to blank screen, wouldnt recover except by pulling the AC plug, then it was ok.
1 time it froze with an image of a show, wouldnt recover except by pulling AC plug, then OK.

So Im returning it and swapping it out for another.

Fault at its main digital board. Short circuited component/s at it. Contact any service technician; or the authorized service center. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Pull up older posts.

In most cases, the main board might have to be replaced. If so, a software [firmware] update too might be necessary.

SOURCE: Proscan 40' 40LC45S has a high pitched hum when it

Same problem here, there is a high-pitched sound in standby. As soon as the light turns blue and the TV is on it's gone. I actually exchanged this TV three times at Best Buy but all the models made the same buzz in standby. I was told that it's normal and in the store you can't hear it since there is too much humming from other TVs around. The power is transformed down to a minimum, just for the remote controls, internal clock etc. and this causes the buzz, like when you dim your lights at home. I hooked it up to a surge-protector for clean power and just switch it off over night. During the day it's hard to hear anyway. - Again, since this is my third (!) Proscan 40' exchange I can definitely say that this is normal for this model. I was just surprised that nobody mentioned the same problem so far on the Best Buy reviews.

SOURCE: Proscan 32'' VGA port; TV says not supported on VGA input

Sounds like your resolution on your computer is set too high for your tv to accept. Try putting your computer resolution down to 1024x768 or lower and see if that works.

They actually state that you have to unplug it and replug it in to fix this problem in the owners manual so it's not just a isolated issue. I to have this problem daily now and this is the 2nd set after returning the first one due to same reason.

My dish remote will not turn on my proscan tv so a bought a rca universal remote and it turns the tv on but messed up everything else , so now I can’t get any channel s or pictures at all

Check the Source or Input button. You have accessed a source that has no input signal.

No one buys Universal remotes these days, you buy a facsimile remote that is an exact copy of the old one.

Screen freezes up

These sets are known to have issues with the digital board. Parts can be bought from www.samsungparts.com The part isn't cheap. when it freezes up does the video stop then after so long the video goes blank then it comes back to normal. Sometimes unplugging them will make them work for a short time but after a few days to a week or so they start acting up again.

Lost remote for Proscan 32LA30Q. What can I do?

Universal remotes are not all that great. I would just use what was made for the TV.

Who makes proscan tv?

Proscan is produced by ON Corp. They are a leading producer for most LCD screens used by a large group of TV makers. Proscan used to be a high end RCA product. The CEO of On Corp was the head of the Proscan division of RCA. After Leaving RCA and Beginning On Corp he purchased the right to the Proscan trade mark. Thus a new beginning for a old name. Many people still belive it to be an RCA TV but it is not. It has good ratings in most reviews for TV's in it price range. It is now a sears brand much like Dynex is a Best But brand.

Picture turns off sound is on

Hi Anya, Im sorry to hear of your difficulties but very happy to know im not alone. I have the same exact Sony model and the same exact problem. I wasnt sure if it was my Tv or my upconvert Sansung DVD player. I spoke with Sony assistance..and well..they were of no assistance. They blamed it on my HDMI cable, then the dvd's i was playing, then the dvd player itself. I ruled out all of the above. Mine goes black when i play a dvd in the upconvert format (720p or 1080i) otherwise known as digital..but the analog signal goes through fine. Luckily i am within my 30 days since I bought it, so now that I have seen your posting and am certain its a tv issue, I think i will return it and buy a Samsun tv (a great alternative for same price with only drawback being a glossy screen=not good for bright rooms but amazing color clarity). Sorry I dont have answer for the problem other than your not alone on this one. I have read other Sony users listing similar issues. I hope all goes well with you and wish you the best Matthew
