Aizoon Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Our SECOND bloody Bush TV has failed AGAIN. It's gone into standby mode and won't respond to the on/off button either on the remote or the body. Phoned Bush and they said that if you repeatedly power it off and on with the button held down it SOMETIMES comes back on. I managed to do that after hours of trying, disabled the power button on the remote and all was well. Then the cleaner switched it off by the button on the body I repeat: DO NOT BUY BUSH TV'S - THEY ARE TOTAL AND UTTER CRAP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't go wrong with Samsung IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had a Sony TV so can't comment.. Like Samsung, LG is Korean, and I've never had a problem with their products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHILINFRANCE Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 treat yourself to a philips ambilight there proper decent I may be inviting a problem, but we have had one of these for some years now and, apart from the on/off switch going (which, of course, was Aizoon's problem!), we are very pleased - we just need to turn it on and off at the main socket.

RedM Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Aizoon, my Sony Bravia has recently been doing this too, so it happens to all makes. I only use ths tv in the bedroom so isn't too much of a problem, I just unplug it from the mains for a couple of minutes and so far it has behaved when plugged back in. I suppose it's about 6 years old now. I do tend to switch it off by the button on the tv from habit, maybe I should just leave it in standby to see if this helps. It was replaced by an LG in the livingoom, this hasn't got a physical button on the tv so it stays in standby all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's such a saturated market! Ive got two Panasonic TV's and neither have had any issues whatsoever. They're both about 8 or 9 years old and still working fine.

Fordy62 Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 1k on a TV?! Someone is doing very well for themselves aren't they. It's amazing how much spare cash these dealers have on them when you stop and search them. They're always willing to part with a bit*... *NB this is a joke. I liken the amount to spend on TV debate to that of spending a lot on a mattress. You spend hours using the thing, so you may as well get a decent one.

The Fat Controller Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 I find a Which magazine subscription to be a very worthwhile investment. They regularly review all sorts of things including televisions and will give you a pretty good idea of what brands are best at the moment. Samsung get almost universal good ratings and some LG and John Lewis models are up there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRock Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 I'll give you another 'rave from the grave' ...... Binnatone. Had a look through the Argos catalogue for new phones. Half price (but still at the luxury price end), very good reviews and no mention of that horrendous brand name in the sales blurb. Imagine my horror when I opened the box, found the instructions and the word 'Binnatone' screamed at me from the top of the page. Oh shit. Anyhow, not changed. Product is cheap plastic carp.. despite what the picture in the catalogue shows. Couldn't be arsed to return them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than that I give you Dansette, my first ever record player was a beautiful red & white Dansette a crimbo pressy along with the first 4 Beatles albums circa 1964, one of the best crimbo's ever.

Red-Robbo Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 It's the speakers in Bush TV's that are the problem. Makes TV sound like a swarm of miniature bees are trapped in your set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRL Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Can anyone enlighten me to the point of buying a 4k tv yet? Utterly pointless waste of money I reckon. May as wait 4 or 5 years or longer (probably longer) before broadcast quality catches up and buy it dirt cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
