Sad Day For My Family

[DarthInsinuate]

we knew this time was coming for a while now, she but up a good fight and has lasted a year or two longer than expected - her tube now spits out electrons in a random disorder, sometimes none at all

i'm talking about the family TV BTW, approaching the end of its stupendous 14 year life

does anyone have any recommendations for a replacement or a good UK website to buy from - the criteria are a 28" Widescreen, preferably flat, we don't plan on spending more than £400


maybe i should post this in Hardwareworld
@mods - if it gets spammed someone move it, thank you

Why not try getting it fixed?

Unless the picture tube blew out, in which you should trash the TV, it is otherwise inexpensive to repair.

[DarthInsinuate]

normally fixing would be the first choice, but the old bugger has been sent away so many times it doesn't seem worth trying anymore - besides its really old and seems like a good time to catch up with technology, its like getting a new dog :wacko:

Withcheese stamped on my dog so i had to get a robot one, yes it is alot like getting a new dog :lol: .
