Hi, need to buy a TV, not particularly high-tech, smallish (20-22''), not over £150. I found one in Argos and Curry's. What about Amazon? I don't know whether you can rely on replacement/repair in case there are technical problems after a few months.
Thanks

    As you mentioned, Curry's list a couple of models that meet your brief.

    I have, in the past purchased from Amazon Warehouse and also from EBay (it was "Tesco Outlet" EBay store).

    This morning I purchased a TV (43") from Panasonic Direct - I had a query on the spec so used their online chat, and they offered a 20% discount along the way without me even asking (though I did mention that I'd also seen a TV at Curry's that was a little cheaper).  

    If this one does the trick, and you can get a similar discount to that I secured this morning, you'd be £14 under budget:

    In the past I've purchased from Richer Sounds. The TV I have from them right now has a 6 year full guarantee. I've bought things from them before and have always had excellent service and have never had to fall back on any guarantee because the things they sell have always been top quality.

    In my experience buying from Amazon has always been good and if I've not been happy or there's been a problem, I've been able to return for refund. 

    It's a good idea, as Grumpy_chap says, to check out eBay as places like Tesco and Argos have outlets on there and you can get things cheaper.

    I agree with the post above - Richer Sounds is the best place for TV and audio.  Just beats John Lewis to the top spot.

    Thanks to all the three of you.

    My old tv is perfectly working, it's just a small part of the basis that cracked. I am not able to repair it (or replace the basis). I think I will have to buy a new one... So thanks for your advice.

    The Panasonic model is a good one, but I prefer the smaller size of a model sold by Richer Sounds and Argos. 

    LG 22TN410V  21.5 inch LED TV 1080p HD Freeview

    They both offer 10% discount. 

    Argos is £10 cheaper but the guarantee is only 1 year. 

    Richer Sounds offers 6 year guarantee, as MalMonroe says, but only TVs from 32'' onwards would be collected and returned for free. 

    Will think about it.

    Thanks again.
