Vent - Tvs4u a.ka Electronics World WARNING

Bought a tv from this company via Ebay in August 2009.
Collected it from a grubby warehouse in Essex, all seemed rather dodgy at the time.
TV was considerably cheaper than if I had gone to a high street retailer, which should have been a clue!
After 3 months the TV blew up, blue flash, puff of smoke, loud band etc.
Returned it to base as per warranty and they took 3 weeks to repair it.
It was returned and worked for 2 months, same fault has occured.
This company's customer service is the worst I have ever known, their staff are rude, unhelpful, untruthful and quite shocking.
I have spoken to trading standars and the company is well known to them. They are replacing our tv but only after an almighty fight and we have no faith new one will be any better.
They trade under several names:- Tvs4u, Electronics World, Electronics World Wembley to name but a few.
Avoid at all costs.
