A recent investigation by MyBroadband and ISACA member Abu-Huraira Oman Abdalla revealed that a ?Full HD? 32-inch Telefunken TV sold at Game only featured an HD Ready panel.
After the investigation, MyBroadband received multiple complaints and further feedback that the false Full HD TV claims extended to various TVs sold at prominent South African retailers.
MyBroadband continued its investigation, testing numerous Full HD TVs which were sold at Game, HiFi Corp, Sounds Great, House&Home, and Takealot.
The findings were damning.
Our EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) testing showed that multiple Telefunken and JVC Full HD TVs sold at these retail outlets did not appear to have Full HD panels.
Following MyBroadband?s investigation and questions to major retailers regarding the issue, certain stores started to remove these televisions from their shelves.
Game also issued an apology for the misleading claims on the original Telefunken TV.
Multiple TVs ?incorrectly labelled?
Following MyBroadband?s second investigation, Game ? and its parent Massmart ? launched an assessment of JVC and Telefunken televisions.
The companies found that many of the TVs, which were supplied by Nu-World Industries, had been incorrectly labelled.
The affected TVs are:
?Telefunken-28 -inch ? TLEDD-28FHD
?Telefunken-32 inch TLEDD-32FHDP
?Telefunken-55 inch TLEDD-55FHD
?JVC 32-inch ? LT-32N355 (No longer stocked by Game)
?JVC 32-inch Smart ? LT-32N740Q (No longer stocked by Game)
?JVC 32-inch Curved ? LT-32N376
?JVC 48-inch UHD ? LT-48N675
It should be noted that the last model was sold as a ?UHD? TV, which is above Full HD.
?We have quarantined the stock. We, like other retailers, now await the outcome of discussions between Nu-World Industries and the National Consumer Commission regarding the next steps,? said Massmart.
