26" tv

Hey.
I'm looking to get a 26" TV with freeview for around £400 with a good guarantee. Was looking at the Samsung LE26B450 from John Lewis (5 year guarantee), but am not sure if it is a good deal or not. Would be grateful for any advice.

Can't answer your question re the Samsung tv, but I bought the 26" Philips model and am very happy with it. The sound quality is excellent. I bought it when there was a special offer on, so the price was good.
Is there a branch of JL near you so you could go in & actually see & hear the tv of your choice before making a decision, if you haven't done this already.
Having the 5yr guarantee from JL is a big plus in buying from them.
I have a couple of Samsung portable tv's in my home & they have been going strong for probably a good 10yrs now without a single problem, so certainly wouldn't hesitate to buy this brand again.The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.
I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.0 -
it's £458.77 from M&S - and the guarentee is free - but only for 2 years....:jFlylady and proud of it:j0

£318.99 from Amazon-

with the price difference would you describe the 5yr guarantee as free, but I do remember reading that JL will do a price match so you could get an even better deal.
I've had to add gaps to the links as not letting me post it.0 -

Unfortunately JL do not price match on web prices & also any offers from shops must be comparable, ie, also offering 5 yr guarantee, before they will price match.
Richer Sounds may be a better choice for you as they have the tv at £319.95 & you can purchase a 5yr guarantee for £31.95. You need to take into account that Richer Sounds is collect only though, whereas JL offer free delivery. Richer sounds do offer a price match guarantee.The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.
