Advantages: cheaper to buy new

Disadvantages: cheap components, hard and expensive to repair

I bought a brand new Samsung TV from my local Scottish Power store.
The picture and sound quality were perfect during the period covered by the warranty, but, shortly after this time things started to go wrong.
The picture started to flick on and off, the sound started to whistle, and finally the whole set went pop.
The repair man had the telly for 3 months and brought it back, stating that the output transistor had blown. 10 mins later it went off again.(yes I got a refund from the repair man)
The telly went to another repair man who says that this is a common problem with ALL samsung televisions and the repair would not be cheap, and the parts would have to be specially ordered from Samsung.
Guess what? The telly is still at the repair shop, I bought a new telly and I can't be bothered to get the old one back.
Be warned..some other set may cost more in the first place, but pay now or pay later with Samsung!!.
