TV advice

[NMH]

My telly broke yesterday, need to get a new one, got around £700 to spend. Any recommendations?

Oooh, look at me, I've got £700 quid to spend for a bloody TELLY! I'm rich and can splash it out bigstylee.

Sorry, it had to be done.
I'm getting ready for my "Any advice on Aston Martin as I'm ready to trade the Renault" thread.

rent is the way forward, get a nice tele keep it 18 months - 2 years and then get a new one. Never actually get to pay the full amount of the tele. Anything goes wrong with it get a new one the next day.

You may not get from Forbes but can i just say:

6.22 per week for 78 weeks is £485, pretty much EXACTLY the value of the TV so if you buy it you will own it in 18 months or you rent it and have to give it back at the end!

Correction: It's actually CHEAPER to but it!

In fact when I look into this further i think i'm going to get into the TV rental business:

78x£16 = 1248

Buy it for £800!


Anyone who rents a TV is a f***ing PLANK!

Panasonic TX32LXD70 is what you want, quite simply the best 32" LCD out there at the mo, not bad on price either £664 from here:

Yep thats very true, but for around another £150 you can get the 37 inch plasma which is far superior.

I bought a huge widescreen Sony Trinitron with digital receiver from a house-clearance sale for £75. She threw in a DVD player, VHS, and as an afterthought a sky box which I sold on for £26

It's a heavy bastard telly, but worked a treat after I got a powered ariel thingy for £2 from a boot faire.

£700 ?? You must be maaaaaad mate

And after 18 months I have a new one. Add that to your equation.

But you don't own the one you have spent the last umpteen months renting.

yeah, but why would you want to "but" it? thats gonna hurt surely?

you might even smash the screen.......

Same lines as what Gully says, after 18 months Forbes have a nice telly to sell second hand you have just started paying for someone else's telly again! If you want a new one just buy another, it'll be cheaper to buy it even paying a rediculious APR than rent it and you can sell the old one on e-bay for a few quid if you don't want it!
