Toshiba LCD probs

With respect, I don't think he wants it to be fixed all the time, he wants
it to be reliable in the first place.

I understand young children poking at the screen, and over house-proud
people polishing the screen are a major cause of premature failure...:-)

had a Sony 32" CRT for 12 years not a problem all its life until
one gun started to play up.

Then bought a Toshiba 40" LCD in January, the first one went back
in 7 days with pixel problems and now its replacement has an 80mm
wide band down the left side. OK an engineer is supposed to be
coming out (what for I do not know) but how much longer will it or
a replacement last beyond the 12 month warranty..........I have no
faith. I knew I should have stuck with Sony :-(

Why? Sony buy in components or licence their name to be used. As
with a lot
of electrical items - past performance is no guarantee of future
quality or
performance. Manufacturers are cutting costs all the time and it
always depends
who you bought the TV from and who delivered it.
Should have bought a Samsung.




and Samsung don't...........

Take no notice of Ian, he doesn't know what he's talking about.

should have bought from john lewis with a free 5 year parts an labour
guarantee.

I imagine Tosh are pretty interested to find a reason then, if they are
sending an engineer out. It could be that they have had a few go down and
are investigating.

Hindsight and that word FREE........

I purchased it for £900 when JL wanted and still want £1300 for the same
model. And that 5 years is probably the standard 1 + 4 so that makes it
£100 per year insurance......would you or anyone have considered that to
be acceptable.

Anyway, Tosh are sending out an engineer next week.

Bloody sods law I threw the box out only 2 weeks ago.....must have been
jinxed.

replacement 40" panel available at Tosh. So I gotta go through the whole
rigmarole of getting a replacement.
