who did not have a manufacturing plant in Ireland
i bought a crappy brand lcd tv and it developed a screen fault. the retailer referred me back to the manufacturer who did not have a manufacturing plant in Ireland, hence a lot of faffing about trying to organise the repair.
i would say go for whatever brand you want but try to buy one that has a manufacturing plant in ireland otherwise if there is a problem you could have a long wait to get a part shipped over to repair it
For a start the retailer was wrong to refer you to the manufacturer - your contract was with the retailer and it was their responsibility to look after it - Irish Consumer Law supports this no matter what some retailers might try and tell you.
I don't know of any brand of TV that has an assembly or manufacturing plant in Ireland (if they do they're mad and should move East as fast as possible) so your advice may not be practical.
.... this is off topic, but to say the contract is with the retailer is correct, however practically speaking they will NOT look after repair.
...Im repeating what i was told in Powercity, when choosing a replacement we stated we wanted something that would not have to await parts delivery from the UK and that is what the guy said.
Sounds like tube alright delboy
I didn't know that Philips manufactured tv's in Ireland - I'm surprised given all I hear about the high costs of doing business here.
Yes, especially when you said it was going green ( 3 guns in crt, red green and blue).would the tube cause the TV to keep switching off and on every second as soon as you plug it in? I just thought the tube would mean the screen went
Fair enough again; I didn't know that Philips manufactured tv's in Ireland - I'm surprised given all I hear about the high costs of doing business here.

I recently bought a Beko 32 inch in Power City. It was on sale at the time for 400. Normally 500. Nice looking machine and no problems yet (admittedly only c2 months)
I have a scale in my head of crappy brands, the best crappy brands and good crappy brands.
I wouldn't stretch to a good brand name as I feel it's a waste of money but I also wouldn't but a crappy brand (Aldi, Lidl, cheapest option in Power City etc.) but I would buy a Beko as I feel this is one of the better crappy brands.
Wouldn`t be economical.any idea if replacing a tube is a big job in terms of cost?
