Oh My - I need your help. I just broke the TV!

Hi. Just tripped up carrying too many things and 'saved myself' by braking the lovely Samsung 32" flat screen LCD TV. Where are the best bargains for a new one? I am in so much trouble! Think ours was about 2 and half years old

    Was there no convenient cat, dog or wife to fall on rather than the TV? :D
    Approach her; adore her. Behold her; worship her. Caress her; indulge her. Kiss her; pleasure her. Kneel to her; lavish her. Assert to her; let her guide you. Obey her as you know how; Surrender is so wonderful! For Caroline my Goddess.

    Oops, that's one of the thing I dread as my room tends to be a bit untidy...

    As for good places to get them, iirc Tescos are doing 32" samsungs cheapish (£400 or so), Richer Sounds offer them from about £350 with a five year warranty at 10% of purchase price etc.

    They've fortunately gone down in price a lot over the last couple of years (we got a pair of Samsung 32" TV's from JL in about January 09 for £350 each in their post Christmas clearance)
