ordered 32in tv, shop gave me 42in & now want it back

Spank

I don't understand how the shop staff missed it, as others have said the size is clearly marked on the box.

I think it may have been an error in communication. the sales person said ' get me a 32'' and the picker thought he said 42''. The serial no is usually on the side of the box, all the branding etc is on the front and back of them.


the issue I have with it though, is that the OP said they looked at the box and took the serial no off it. This would equate to a 32'' model. The only thing I can think of is that they either have been busy and not took to much notice of the box, or the sizes of the boxes have been standardised and they may use the same box for the 32'' and 37'' tv , so it wouldn't look so much different than a 42'' box.


It is their mistake totally, but the OP is wrong in trying to pull a fast one and keep it.

My mum has a 50'' TV in her room and I end up with a bad headache after watching it for a little time, the picture is too fuzzy and colours really bad. She says its fine, but she needs glasses to find her glasses.

Is she running a standard tv ariel into that?

I love topics like this. I don't believe for a second that the OP didn't notice. The size is always written on the side of the box in large print. I reckon you saw it, thought you got lucky and are now upset they're asking for the tv back. Lets hope if you do keep the tv it breaks down in a few months and you have no come back what so ever. Karma and all that.

You also have no right to demand anything except costs to return it. If you tell them to sling their hook should they want it back (as your suggesting) you are actually breaking the law. There would be nothing at that point stopping them taking you to court. You could end up considerably more out of pocket than the tv costs.

Of course you could just do the right thing and arrange the return. Also, don't lie in this topic. It's extremely transparent.

You do realise that some poor sod will end up with their head on the chopping board for this right? Maybe even end up with the sack.

They may well end up paying the extra. Seems the OP doesn't care though.

What if you are wrong and there actually is a heaven and a hell? I kinda think it might be a good idea to have 'morals' and do the right thing.....just in case!

The op is a con artist posting online to find a legal loophole for a mistake. The op obviously has no morals so blatantly won't care for something like this.

.

She has got a std TV aerial into the back of it, but she only watches through the Sky channels, with Freeview as a back up.


I had to buy her a simple remote, as she was continually ringing us to say she couldn't get the TV going ( like at 3am !). Bought her a remote for people with Alzheimers, she had issues using it until I said to her '' If you cant use this, then God help you, its designed for people far worse than yourself'' then she buckled in and got used to it. It only has 4 buttons! lol.


Handy for confused people though. Can highly recommend it. Link below, may be of some use to someone on here.

Yes there are indeed ways to calculate how size, screen resolution and viewing distance are connected. The human eye can usually differentiate between 60 pixels/degree, so the further away you sit from a TV the lower the resolution needs to be to give you the optimum picture. Likewise, as TV size increases, the number of pixels decreases so you'll need to get a higher resolution TV to make sure that picture is as good as it can get. Most people don't realise however, that Ultra HD TVs such as 4K and 8K are so good, that you'd have to sit very close to see any pixels at all. Simply Google "Kagoo TV size infographic" to see how all of this is connected.
