Thanks to you both.

As I missed out on the free blu-ray player from JL (by 1 day, v annoying), have been on the phone and just submitted by claim form, to hopefully get 20 GBP refunded. If successful, I'll put it towards the 220  Smile

Either way, TV will be delivered next Wed so not long to wait... watching Gel's YouTube videos of the GT50 in the meantime, good work!!!

 

Just done two more!

That was quick!  Nice one.  It was last Xmas eve mine went!  Only got £500 for it too.  But it did have some screen burn that you could see on and off.

RE: The Best TV For £999!

I do feel like I could have got more for it, another 2 people were very interested, and another person has just listed that they wanted one. 

The cash is in my hand though, and the buyer is a Kuro lover, so it's gone to a good home. 

This 32" is taking some getting used to though.

Now I feel guilty for suggesting you accept £500. embarassed

Note to self, don't stick your nose into other people's business transactions.

RE: The Best TV For £999!

Don't worry Strapped, I got what I expected to get, £500 was always my aim.

It's just with the comments and enquiries on AVForums about my listing, it does seem that £500 is cheap for a 1080p Kuro on that site.

BUT, £500 is in my hand, and who knows how much longer the Kuro will last for, and as there is no warranty left, it could be a lot worse.

I am starting to worry about the GT with all the reports of buzzing though, so from a selfish point of view, I hope mine arrives buzz free.

RE: The Best TV For £999!

Well, onwards and upwards, hopefully.

I have similar anxieties. I'll need to get the GT50 up, running, and comprehensively tested before I can relax. At least we bought from a reliable retailer that I'd expect to be sympathetic should we have problems.

I'm determined to think positive! Buying a TV shouldn't be this stressful.

RE: The Best TV For £999!

John Lewis are delivering my GT and BDP today, got the paperwork through the post yesterday.

I know it's the afternoon/ evening slot, and I remember it could be as late as 9pm, but I can't remember if it's from 1pm or 2pm.

Anyone know?

I think it's 2 but might be wrong.  In John Lewis today they had a 50VT50 markdown from £1800 to £1350.  It didn't say it was used.  Let us know how you get on when it's delivered.

Will do.

I saw a GT50 in JL yesterday, was  a customer return or display model, but was only £740, and still no buyer. 

The general public are obsessed with lcd/led.
