Mine went this way after 11 months, and at month 13 JL finally caved in and refunded it, and I went for a Samsung 55F8000 At 2 years old, you are almost certainly going to have to go down the 'repair route' first, which will mean JL appointing a contractor to take the TV away to test it (don't...

I concur Samsung's website only list's the 6400, which almost certainly means that the 6470 is for mainland Europe Also on offer at JL, although currently out of stock (can change overnight though)...

I'm guessing you've adjusted this by: <sound> <additional settings> <digital audio out> <audio delay> My F8000 was slightly out of sync when it came out of the box, but I quickly discovered that the audio delay was set to 150ms (odd!)

Yes, I will be when funds permit!

Update So we have had the TV now for some 14 weeks or so, and do I miss the GT50...? In one word, no! The F8000 continues to impress on every level, and long gone are the days of DSE, blurring fast motion and image retention One of the most impressive features of the Samsung is the Plex app...

F8000 all the way Can't fault mine :)

Update: Some good news, some no so good news Panasonic have agreed to cover the cost of the repair! :) Panasonic have said my friend has to cover the £90 he paid out to get the TV collected :cry: He has therefore sent them a scathing email, will let you know what happens!

I 'think' John Duncan is eluding to something else, and not the 50GT30 in this thread.. (which cost a bit more than £450!)

Update TV is currenly with the repair company (whom charged £90, yes £90 to pick it up!) My friend is hoping to hear something in the next 48 hours, and is even more hopeful that Panasonic (or is it Panachronic?!) will foot the bill!

Update: (very very interesting) Regarding the warranty period, please note that the EU Directive does not apply in the UK. In this situation, Panasonic is offering its clients, as stated in my previous e-mail, the Cost Assistance procedure. Previous email: Please note that the standard...

Because Zavvi are useless??!!

Thanks guys Interesting to see that where 1 praises, the other has had nothing but problems... My friend has contacted Panasonic UK, put his case to them and is awaiting a response

Clearly, a bad experience from dealing with Zavvi I'm with everyone else on this, always buy items of this nature from a retailer that you can walk back into if there is an issue Having said that, I've never had an issue with any console I've purchased. My original Playstation still works 18...

Thats what I have told him Oldboy. How can Panasonic seriously expect a £1200 TV to last only 20 months. He's single, and only uses the TV in the evenings, so it probably hasn't even clocked up that many hours! A PDP is 'expected' to last for 100,000 hours, and whilst this isn't guaranteed...

Thanks David Braintree is perfect!
