Agreed the Viera is a great looking panel, but its certainly not the case that it blows away ANY other LCD or plasma on the market.

I have treid phoning Daewoo but their office is closed until monday so I have sent an email. I will definately try to get this sorted by them.

It is 14.5 months old, cost 1800 quid including delivery (only 850 quid now!!!!!). Has never been mistreated, just went BANG last night.

I'll let you know how I get on.

Cheers for the suggestions

Why would i want Freeview, exactly?

Indeed.

Perhaps the OP should check out the latest Panny LCD (the 500 model) and the new Sony.

Went out with the intention of buying a 32 or 37" LCD last weekend.
Didnt see anything that had a pictue as good as I'm getting on my CRT TV.

To be picky, I thought European legislation had recently increased this to 2 years?

Manufacurers are only liable to the consumer where the goods that they have manufactured are dangerous: Consumer Protection Act 1987.

In most cases it is the retailer who is liable: Sale of Goods Act 1979; Sale and Supply of Goods Act 1994, limited to six years from date of purchase (five years in Scotland and NI).

Maybe you can, luckily it's not an LG ..................... LG do not 'do' Customer Service!! :(

Pete; you dropped the phone in a f*cking river. What do you expect them to do eh? Mend it for free? Give you a new one?

Someone asked why theyd want Freeview? The point is that it is all thatll be available soon, there wont be any analogue transmissions.....


Simon

GOOD NEWS!!!

Daewoo have agreed to fix my plasma for free 'as a gesture of goodwill'.

Guys coming round to look at it tomorrow.

:)

Good stuff :D shows its always worth a try, we've just saved you the price of a new plasma... Please forward a bill off £20 to ... lol

That is good news; remember that the retailer was responsible, should it fail within the next four years or so.

Looks good :D love the black frame around the screen on the vieras, makes it look so much smarter

Oooooooooooh, that's nice. :D

We're moving into a new flat in a few months time, where i'll get a wall mount and everything else properly fitted. Speakers in the bathroom and small LCD in the kitchen, but until then, i'll drool over it, as is. ;)

As soon as i seen the Viera, i wanted one, as it looked so smart and clear. I will agree the black frame seems to make it look a bit clearer....might just be my eyesight now though!:freak3:

Sounds like a cool plan, speakers in the bathroom etc.. very modernised :D wish I thought of that a year ago when I did our bathroom out, unfortunately Im stuck with a poxy battery shower radio...lol

Lol. We really only thought about the speakers, as it's WAY too expensive for a TV in there and we've now been in a few Hotels with speakers fitted and it's quite nice, when your in the bath. :D

Besides, as it's not nearly all built yet, it gives us a chance to fit everything the way it should be, before the walls are even up! :)

Those PV500 screens are looking good there :D

Heres a bigger one for anyone interested, the screen to the right of the picture is a 42inch one :)

Lol! Samsung has just unveiled a 106"er!!! :eek: :eek:

Christ gonna have to have some living room for that :D

woooo how'd you get it through the front door let alone in the front room.... our 37" only just got in the front door whilst in the box. if I went for the 42" like I originally wanted I would have had to unpack it in the front garden...lol

PMSL, i know. Seen the box for a 65" TV in Curry's the other day and had do a double take, as i couldn't believe the size of it! :D

cant be bothered to read the whole thread.. but a top 37" LCD in Currys LG one, wicked quality and Hidef ready.. go to a big store and u see it running, will be blown away.

Sky are selling off all the ones they've been trying to sell through the magazines; just paid £1k for a 42" and £650 for a 32" including VAT, and from a genuine source before you ask.

They're Hitachi 32pd5200 / Hitachi 42pd5200, so pretty good kit, especially at that price :):):)

Vert :cool: mate ;)

Oh Dave, I can see the wires running round the corner! That's a big no-no.:nono:

If you're gonna stick it on the wall at least chase the wires so it can't be seen :)

Still, I can't complain, my 43" Pioneer is on a glass stand, and behind it you can see 400 f*cking miles of various cables in every colour under the Sun. Damn !! :freak3:

LOL... misses wouldnt let me chase them into the wall :( so trunking will have to be used instead :(

Misses needs changing:)

Aah, here's me telly... and err, there's me small wires hidden behind massive plastic boxing.

Seriously, trunking's gonna look fooking horrid, surely she would prefer it all hidden? Bit of plaster and a lick of paint, sorted.

I know it's not that easy, but well worth it.

The 32" version is the one I'm looking at....

Have seen one running in Currys and was very impressed :)
