Get Compensated for a Bulky CRT TV You Bought Years Ago

Who could forget those bulky, impossibly heavy, static-filled non-smart TVs of our youth? Well, now they’re back in the spotlight – as part of a $33 million settlement .

Mitsubishi Electric Corporation has filed a new class action lawsuit involving cathode ray tubes (“CRTs”), a type of monitor technology that uses a large glass tube to display images. The lawsuit alleged that Mitsubishi Electric colluded with other television brands to fix CRT prices, forcing customers to pay more for their televisions and monitors. Under the agreement, this agreement is in addition to nine other similar agreements entered into with Chunghwa, LG, Philips, Panasonic, Hitachi, Toshiba, Samsung SDI, Thomson, and Technologies Displays America.

Who is eligible to participate in the TV program?

Here are the requirements:

• If you “indirectly” purchased (not directly from the manufacturer, but from a retailer such as Costco or Best Buy) a CRT product, such as a CRT TV or CRT computer monitor, from the following states between March 1, 1995 and On November 25, 2007, you qualify for: Arizona, Arkansas, California, DC, Florida, Hawaii, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia and Wisconsin.

• If you purchased your device in Missouri, Montana, and Rhode Island, it was intended to be used primarily for personal, family, or home use (not for your business or office).
• The TV must be purchased for your own use and not for resale.

How much can I get for a settlement?

The amount paid to each class member will be determined based on the size of the TV or monitor you have purchased, how many of them you have, and the number of people who have submitted valid bids. The settlement estimates that anyone who applies will receive at least $10 per TV. You can see a breakdown of how payments will be determined here .
