Tv buzzing

Hi, I got a Technika 32" from Tesco about 2 months ago. And it constantly buzzes. I have to have the volume so low that I can barely hear it before it goes off.

What can I do please? :beer:

    If you only bought it two months ago take it back to Tesco's.

    Only if you tell Tesco!
    Has the TV been dropped in transit to or from your friend?

    No, its buzzed since I got it. The box was in garage being stored, and I just lent it to her to move her tv to her new pad. My tv has never moved.

    I keep all boxes incase I have to return anything

    It's a Technika badge job, what did you expect?
    If they offer a refund, tear their hand off and get a decent brand instead.

    Take it back,as long as you have the receipt the should be no problem,Talking to a friend who works for Tesco, a lot of the TV's ect they sell are end of line brands that are due to be replaced by a newer model,so they buy them cheap & sell them cheap.
    People say buying a TV from Curry's is bad,buying a TV from Tescos's etc is worse..

    Technika is simply a Tesco brand, they are all just badged up end of line/overuns etc, which is why spares and service are non-existent. Just be grateful that it's gone wrong while still in warranty.
    You don't need the box, you just need proof of purchase.

    Thanks everyone. I'll just return it. I might live with it for a few weeks and save some money up and put it towards a named model. I thought that it would be a good tv (well so-so) without the 'name'... thanks

    You don't necessarily have the option to return it and get a refund. The retailer can refund, replace or repair at their discretion-it depends on their returns policy.
    If you do get a refund, take the cash and go to Richer Sounds for a much better choice of decent brands.
