Onida black - Junk one followed by bad service
Sep 03, 2008 12:48 PM 4726 Views

I bought this Junk ONIDA black 21' on Nov 07 . That was the mistake I have made . It was nine horrible months with the TV . It has been serviced almost four times and now this is the fifth time the TV is down . I had made a complaint 10 days back, till now it has not been serviced .


I have also demanded for a replacement, and that too they are not considering . Don't know what to do with this junk Onida .


Moreover the service or the response from the service people was irritating . What a customer oriented service . HATS OFF!


Also after servicing they will only get your signature and they won't give any serviced copy to you . That make you without any evidence that your TV has been serviced . When asked the response from the service engineer makes us more irritating . My kind advice is that pls don't go for Onida Black 21' TV and waste time and money in following .

A dangerous trap

Hi I am an IT professional from Bangalore.I purchased Onida 21 Black FGL last Sunday(28/08/05). As I am an IT professional, due to my busy schedule I went for it without much enquiry about various brands. From the first day itself it used to make an irritating sound which is not normal in other TVs. The TV has got lot of so called features like Diginet, Black Stretch, Digital Noise Reductionetc,etc which significantly improves the picture quality and reduces the noise for channels with weak signal strength. but inspite of these features the picture quality is not good for weak signals.


It came as a surprise when I switched on the TV yesterday(31/08/05) and it didnt turn on at all.I could enjoy my new TV only few hours before it went out of service. I took the TV in hurry because of the ongoing Triseries of India,Zimbabwe and New Zealand. But as I am a ''proud'' owner of an Onida TV, its not my cup of tea! Now let us accept the fact that electronic goods can go out of service but can anyone accept the following fact? All the Onida authorised Service centre phone nos listed in the chart provided by the dealer are either ''out of service'' or ''temporarily disconnected''. Then at last I found a no which was working and I called the no. But the customer care executive at the other hand did not have the basic skills of handling a customer. So from my experience what I can suggest others is that better go for the ones from good brands even if they have less features.

Good brand and good model

I had gone for the brand ONIDA based on the suggestion from my friends and I myself saw the picture quality and performance from one of my friend house. The model Onida 21 Black FGL is cheap in its class and better among others.


I find the Picture quality of this TV is better than other models (SHARP which grand father uses, and LG flatron which is in uncles house). When I went to the showroom, the brands like SAMSUNG attracted me first. On comparing the clarity I found ONIDA is better.


Some + abt this model :


The AVL is really good and useful.


The fine tune option works better in this. My TV was showing better picture when the Cable operator promised that there is some problem in the line due to rain in my area good picture will not be available.


Video sockets available in both front and rear side of the TV but this is available in almost all the new models.


Some - abt this Model :


I dont find any - in this model since with this price band it is having better features than any other brands in this band.


I have been using this for the past the 3 yrs and it is same as it was 3 yrs back. I hope durability will be good.

Very Good Product

The Onida Black 21 FGL is a great Flat TV. Having recently replaced my old and faithful Onida with this new one has been a very good decision. For the the price of 12K, it's just the thing you'd want with beautiful form design.


Superb Picture quality (that's been one thing that Onida has truly improved on, though it has been always good in their previous models). Good sound (200 Watt). The best part is the Music Mode, where you can turn off the picture and just listen to the sound. You can still surf and increase/decrease volume in this mode.


This apart the ZAP! feature and the Half Mute are thoughtful additions. The ZAP is used to preset a time duration of 1 ~ 5 min for a channel while you surf others. At the end of the set duration it will automatically return you back to the channel where you had set it. Front headphone and video-in jacks are well concealed. Other features are typical of most of the new TVs in the market, as in Black Stretch, Scheduler, Games etc.


So what are the drawbacks? No component input (that's OK I guess). The OSD is pretty poor and can be greatly improved and so is the remote unit. I say so cause the OSD is rendered in purple, which is just not clearly readable. So are the OSD function grouping (though that's not too bad either.) The remote unit is rather poorly designed due to the odd placement of the buttons.


The plus point is that you need not necessarily point it towards the TV to use it. But one major flaw that the TV has is inability to set individual volume levels for the various channels. This feature is pretty common in current TVs. This is the only missing feature that struck me as odd. Although these flaws are not too difficult to live with, they could have been there in the first place itself.


Overall Impression


The Onida Black 21 FGL is a superb TV. It's got great picture quality and more then decent sound. As of looks, you really will stop by to stare at the product once in a while (as the ad shows).
