Another one should have gone to Richersound or JL for the free 5/6 year warranty.

I know hindsight is a wonderful thing but I don’t understand why anyone buys a TV from any where other than either of those 2 mentioned

Well, I do.  We purchased a new TV recently and the price was far more competitive than either of those two.

Richer sounds will price match

can you say which TV you bought , where from and what Gtee you got with it

Panasonic 43".  Paid <£300 online from Panasonic.  Probably 1 year guarantee.  Nothing near at John Lewis.

Edit:. I have tried to use the price match in the past and they hide behind TS&C's that allow them to avoid honouring the price match.

who did JL or Richersounds, how much would it have cost to add 5 years more warranty?

I did say Richer sounds pricematch

sub £300 prob doesn’t really matter as you can self insure

what was the difference in price between Panasonic, JL and Richer

I don't recall exactly now, JL were massively more.  Curry's were competitive and Panasonic Direct the cheapest at the £264 I paid.  I note today, JL have the TV at £299, but out of stock.

I bought an LG OLED in the sales they had in late January from PRC Direct and they paid for a 5 year appliance cover package for the TV with L&G so it isn't just those two.

Glad to see others being forced to do this.
