... So i've just had to buy a new TV today. Not something i was planning on purchasing as i'm in the middle of a house move at the moment (waiting for mortgage approval via Sarnie!) so a lot of my money is spoken for.
My 2 year old Samsung 55" 6-series has been getting progressively worse over the last 6 months, with the bottom 2 inches of the screen not working, and then recently a horizontal line about a 3rd of the way up appeared too.
I've dismantled it previously but not managed to fix it, and i decided to have another go today - but i made it worse. I dont know what i've done, but now the picture only displays in black & white, and is pretty blurry
To be honest i think i've just sabotaged myself, as i was hoping i would break it so i could buy a new one!
I got an email yesterday with Curry's 'Easter Deals', and they are selling the Samsung 65" 8 Series 1080p Curved LED TV for only £1499.00! Reduced from the 'normal' price of £2800. Pretty good deal I thought, and it includes a 5 year warranty too.
Good news is, it's getting delivered before 11am tomorrow. I've got the F1 on record, so looking forward to watching it on the new beast.
