I tend not to use digiboxes, as I found that I never used it, and just watched the 6 analogue channels.  So I always get integrated TVs now, and have for about the last 3 yrs.

Actually, now they have removed the noisey fans from the consumer Sonys, they are more tolerable...

Had a Hitachi tv in bedroom which was 17 years old when it packed up 2 years ago. Only ever had one repair on it and that was the on/off switch! :)

Had to repair a fair few LG/Goldstar stuff in past, including the TV that was in kitchen, so wouldn't be my first choice.

Going on pure reliability of TVs in my house over the last 10 years, it would have to be Mikomi or whatever its called. Been excellent, never had to touch  :-/

Samsung has fired into lift at moment, so can watch the trash thats on - I was looking forward to a nice Sunday afternoon film to fall asleep in front of after my roast dinner, but was disappointed :(

Have you both been in & caused a loud seen infront of alot of customers. I find that when this is done the sales staff just wana sink into the floor & will do almost anything to shut you up.
That's why i love a face to face, because they can't ignore you & they can't get away  :y :y :y
Marie used to hate it when i went into one, she got so  :-[, but it got results  :) :) :)

I did something like that in PC World, new lap top, not working, spotty yoof telling me I was wrong, waited ages, other people in tthe Q also complaining. I stood in the q and rang trading standards, loudly and suggesting to anyone listening that they knew me and I knew them. I was taken to one side and dealt with by the manager, problem sorted in and hour. Should not have needed to do this, will never ever ever use this shop again.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Samsung is working great, do you have mains supply problems round your area TB?

Sony use the same panels so nothing to gain really by changing make.

Ive had a phone call today about my faulty Samsung. I had a repair man out a couple of weeks ago and he said "you needed a new panel as there was a line of dead pixels" to which I replied "not on a 3 month TV I dont, I want a new one" so he told me to get intouch with the supplying retailer. I phoned the retailer and they told me to leave it with them which was almost 2 weeks ago. Anyway phone rings today and its the repair chappie saying the panel is out of stock until the 6th April to which I replied I dont care I want a new one. So ive just blasted the ears off the retailer and they've just called to arrange my exchange. Job done :y

My 32" Sony CRT is still going strong after over eight years of service.  Hard to belive it retailed at £1500 back then and I paid £1200...

Mine too. Got it half price refurbed through a mate of mine who worked for Sony. It did go pop once and was fixed under warranty. Has been superb since. Daren't change it as the reliability of TVs in general seems to have taken a dive since then. (not to mention the programmes)
