Rear projection looks unstoppable in ‘weakest TV’ poll

November 28, 2006 on 12:18 am | In TV Damage |

I had no idea Rear Projection TVs were so popular (or so popular with sweaty handed, weak strapped Wii users). But after the three we reported last week, here’s another one that took the brint of a slippery Wii remote, as reported on the Nintendo Wii’s official forum. And this time it was Tennis, not Bowling. Unlucky.

Cracked TV #3

As if the frustration of a broken telly wasn’t enough, those fellow forumites cried ‘fake’ until he provided photographic evidence… we feel for you Larry (Victim #4)!

Cracked TV #3 Evidence

So, that brings our tally of tragic RPTVs to four, three of which come with photographic evidence. Does anyone know how to fix these things? Is it just a case of replacing the plastic cover? If you know, stick it in the comments and you’ll make a few unlucky readers extremely grateful.

As an aside, all this RPTV action makes me think there must be a lot more unreported ’strikes’ out there - but the Wiimote is just bouncing off the tougher TVs. Let us know if that’s you. I’m just waiting to see the first meathead who manages to take a chunk out of a CRT!
