Alright, so I go into Curry's to go buy an LCD tv for the new home.
I spot a Toshiba 30 inch and it has a sticker which says HDTV ready.
Great. How much? 1200 pounds. Ok I'll take it.
So I get home, I call the first day to ask for the delivery date.
" we'll call you back"
nothing.
Next day, the same happens.
Nothing.
Now it's a Sunday.
I know they've got my money but what the hell!
So i decide to go online to check the tv
it's 30wl46p for those interested.
and i dont see that its HDTV ready ANYWHERE! in fact, the 32 inch says it's hdtv ready not the 30 inch.... well this sucks.
What makes matters worse, is that Curry's sells it online for 900 pounds!
Guess what i'm doing tomorrow. getting paid the difference or all hell is breaking lose and I'm cancelling the order and reordering it.
That's IF of course it's HDTV ready.

i know but i just wanted a good lcd tv.
Anyone know where to buy one?
I'm in Colchester.
oh to add to my rant. I decided to take the insurance. He explained it to me as 4 pounds a month or something.
When I look at the reciept halfway from getting home, he's charged me 200 pounds! thats 3 years! I call them to ask for a refund, because he explained I'd pay monthly. what did they say? We're closing now, please come in and sign a document for a refund.
The shop is far from my home *sighs*

i know but it's also unreliable when it comes to faults.
E.g. dead pixels, scratches, or simple repair.

hmm that is a good point
it is up to you but like you said it is cheaper online from the same company
so surely if you order online from currys if it ever develops a fault you could take it back to your local store
couldnt you
and you would save £300 in the process

Order it from an online store, that is just a site of a real store. or a 'real' store.
