Refurbished TV at Curry's

Can anyone give their opinion on refurbished TV's from Currys and Dixons etc.? Was thinking of getting one for the kids for christmas - better to buy new or do you think these are ok?

    My personal opinion is that buying anything from Dixons group is a bad move if anything goes wrong, so I certainly wouldn't buy a refurb TV from them (mind you i'd also not buy a new TV that wasn't a refurb from them).

    Only if they still have a 12m warranty and the price is really cheap...

    Looking on the website:

    http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/refurbished-tvs/301_3004_30004_xx_xx/xx-criteria.html?sPageInfo=2_12&sSortInfo=topsellers-desc&sDisplayAllBrands=y

    its all own brand in house tat, I wouldnt buy it new let alone after Currys have refurbished it.

    Richer Sounds have always been richer sounds, never owned by Empire Direct, they brought the rights to Empire when they went under.
