FTC Compliance Statement
At Tech Junctions, we are committed to full transparency regarding our affiliate relationships and material connections with brands and products featured on our website. This disclosure is made in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255: “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.”
Understanding Affiliate Links
Affiliate links are unique tracking links that contain a referral code. When you click these links and make a purchase or take a specific action (such as signing up for a service), we may earn a commission from the vendor or advertiser at no extra cost to you.
This means that if you purchase a product through one of our affiliate links, the price you pay remains exactly the same, but we receive a small commission from the company for referring you to their product or service.
How We Use Affiliate Links
We incorporate affiliate links strategically across our television troubleshooting content, including:
- Product recommendations in troubleshooting guides
- TV accessory suggestions (cables, mounts, streaming devices)
- Replacement part recommendations for DIY repairs
- Tool suggestions for TV maintenance and troubleshooting
- Related technology products that enhance your TV experience
- Service recommendations for professional TV repair when needed

Our Editorial Independence
Maintaining Honest Reviews
While we may earn commissions through affiliate partnerships, we maintain strict editorial independence. Our affiliate relationships do NOT:
- Determine our content topics – We choose topics based on common TV problems our readers face
- Influence our honest opinions – We provide genuine assessments based on actual testing and research
- Guarantee positive reviews – We honestly report both pros and cons of products
- Prevent us from recommending alternatives – We suggest non-affiliate alternatives when they’re superior
Our Recommendation Standards
Our product recommendations are based on:
- Personal testing and experience with TV troubleshooting scenarios
- Thorough research of product specifications and user reviews
- Professional assessment of product quality and effectiveness
- Real-world application in actual TV troubleshooting situations
- Value proposition for our readers’ specific needs
How We Identify Affiliate Content
We clearly mark affiliate links and sponsored content to ensure complete transparency. You will see clear identifiers such as:
- “Affiliate Link” – Clearly marked next to or near affiliate links
- “We may earn a commission” – Disclosure statements in relevant content
- “This post contains affiliate links” – Notice at the beginning or end of articles
- Highlighted disclosure boxes – Prominent notices in product recommendation sections
These identifiers ensure you always know when clicking a link may result in a commission for us.
How Affiliate Partnerships Benefit You
Our affiliate partnerships enable us to:
- Provide comprehensive testing – We can purchase and test products to give you honest, hands-on reviews

Product Testing and Experience
Our Testing Commitment

- Research-Based Recommendations: When direct testing isn’t possible, we conduct thorough research including user reviews and technical specifications
- Follow-Up Evaluation: We monitor long-term performance and update recommendations accordingly
- Problem-Solving Focus: We only recommend products that genuinely help solve TV problems
When We Haven’t Tested Products
If we recommend a product we haven’t personally tested, we clearly disclose this and explain why we believe it may be helpful based on:
- Technical specifications that address common TV problems
- Positive user reviews from verified purchasers
- Manufacturer reputation and warranty support
- Professional industry recommendations
