happy farthers day. been really ill all weekend got up about 4ish came down stairs and becks said the tv is dead. got sound but no picture its a panasonic viera and only 2 years old.

 

Was going to buy a new tv but looking at the specs i may aswell pay to get it repaired :glare:

 

so now im stuckwatching a crummy 32"jobbie :(

Ha, ha, what a sh!!ter, it wasnt that long ago 32" was big!!! now even a 42" looks small.... anyway, Panasonic should be aleast a 2 year guarantee shouldn't it?

no just one year mate. dont knowhow much it will cost to fix but even if its £400 it would still be worth it. Just proper skint at the mo and could of done without this.

 

I got panasonic becuse there on of the best but they all suffer from this fault across the range :(

thats a real shitter, I`ve got a Viera too, a 50" 1080p one, its mint and still works, LOL. But i do have a 42" Cello in the bedroom, its 3D, 1080P, freeview, and an sd card in the side to record/watch movies, the picture is just as good as the Panasonic and friggin great in 3d!!!! all for £367!!!! absolute bargain, shop around, TV`s are so cheap nowadays :)

whats it like for games etc? the viera has a game modeand its mint it 600hrz

It wont be as good as the Viera for games, not sure what the Hz is on the Cello, but the pic is mint, I`ve played Cod on it and can`t notice any difference :)

Just read this thread and mate that suck so much. Don't know what to say....

Same happened to us in the games room our Samsung preview channels died after the change over wednesday. After speaking to Samsung certain tv's after downloading the new programs the improved signal is blowing up the receivers in the tv. We bought a new tv yesterday. Got a good deal with Bose surround sound too. But still would rather have the cash in the bank.

That's shocking, are Samsung offering to repair or replace the sets then?

Nope nothing at all....all they said is the best thing to do is buy a new seperate preview box. Reason we bought the tv 3 years ago was because it had all that built in as we didn't have sky in this room. Just another money spinner! Must admit I'm loving the smart TV's being able to go online etc and they just keep getting thinner and thinner. Thinking of an upgrade in the living room now but I don't think I'm allowed just yet lol
