New law coming in for tv warranty

Please can anyone help. We need to get a new plasma tv after old one dying. My mum was told by a friend that if new televisons are over a certain amount of money they now come with longer warranties.
Has anyone heard of this this.

    Nor have I - I wonder if a retailer is offering extended warranties, and someone has misunderstood?
    Gone ... or have I?

    Buy from John Lewis and get a five year warranty included.

    A quote from their TV Buying Guide...
    All our televisions are delivered for free and include a 5-year guarantee for your peace of mind.

    Op, whoever told you is probably misunderstanding the sale of goods act, and expected durability for price.

    I.e, a £50 tv that fails after 6 months is probably not expected to last any longer.

    A £5000 tv should be expected to last at LEAST a year.
