I think my Sony LCD is knackered?

Thankfully LCD TV’s are dirt cheap to pick up secondhand.

I’ve got a spare 32” LG which is probably not even worth £20, so would be happy just to give it away to anyone who can make use of it.

Grabs the true cheaper Sony's while you can now they sold the TV business to TCL.
Just like with Panasonic sub 1k which is now Vestel.

Everything is truly built like cr@p now. Current house 15 years and been though three washing machines, about the same kettles, ovens, toasters, microwaves, dishwashers etc. Meanwhile everything the grandparents bought about 40 years ago is still working fine…

I remember a few years ago now, I was up the tidy tip/recycling centre and I noticed a big LCD tv (I don't recall the manufacturer of it) in the tv container when I was putting a couple of broken crts in there. The manufacturing date on the sticker on the back showed it was less than a year old! I couldn't understand why someone didn't get it sorted under warranty but there you are. TV less than a year old and it's gone faulty and got dumped!

That’s crazy, dumping a TV which is less than a year old. As you said it would of had at least a year warranty.

My microwave oven packed up after 22 months. I purchased it online from Next. When I looked into it I realised it actually had a 2 year warranty so I contacted Next Customer service. They delivered a brand new oven the following day and took away the old one at the same time. I’m still shocked that such great customer service still exists!

Got one of those cheap 24" Panasonics in the Kitchen on the wall, they are much better than the Logic it replaced (which lasted about 3 years!)

Still have a Pioneer Plasma 5090 in the Lounge and it looks as good now as it did 18 years ago new, picked it up from Empire direct in Derby for an amazing price, they went bust a few days later. (not because of me!)
