Clive:
OK so we come to London for a few days and end up in Homebase, Wickes and Curry's.  Makes a change from M&S I suppose.  ;D  Curry's are doing a 42" Samsung Plasma telly at 50% off.  My son who knows everything says they only last 3 years but my cousin who is a hi fi enthusiast says that he hasn't heard any bad reports about them and has one himself.  Any comments (especially negative) would be appreciated as it's still a lot of cash to fork out even with a 50% discount.

Rodders:
Clive, just make sure you take out the 5-year extended warranty.  This sounds like one of the few occasions on which the extra outlay will be a worthwhile gamble!   8)

Whiskas:
I briefly worked for a company that sold them and as far as I'm aware they were pretty good. Don't know if they only last 3 yrs though.

Simon:
Well, personally I've never had any Samsung equipment, because I've never considered them to be at the top end of the market as far as build quality goes, but if it's at the right price, and you can get an extended warranty, it might be worth considering.  

I don't know if it's the same model, but Richer Sounds are doing a Samsung for £2199 - SEE HERE[/url].

Clive:
I hate extended warranties and that would bump the price up by a lot of money.  My son claims that the picture quality deteriorates after 3 years and of course you can't take it to your local repair guy to get it fixed.  I really don't know what to do about it.  Your words are very encouraging Whiskas.  I think I'll take a second look at it tomorrow.
