FTAO Hairy People fighting over LG TVS

Another America fad making its way over here i wonder if those idiots that were trying to make the city centre celebrate thanksgiving yesterday will cash in on this too.

Just picked up a 30inch Samsung TV for the bedroom (awaits smutty bedroom jokes)for £199. Was £350. No complaint here. Saying that, I don't think it was a Black Friday thang, just a sale on.

LG Asda, arghhhhhhhh - it doesn't surprise me at all. This is broken Britain after all. It staggers me. It reminds me when the London riots were happening; people were seen looting Toshiba TVs from PC World. Why do chavs genuinely have no idea about AV equipment?
I'm not being a snob but other than Panasonic plasmas, the only other TV I'd consider would be a Sony LCD. There's an amazing 65" Sony in the window of their store in town - it's £3000 though.

Well I just ordered a Panny 200 inch 4K tv from Argos for £8.000.000.354.762.28p  Well, you started it. As you can see - they are just loading it for home delivery.

3k for a telly !!!!! madness.

He'd still have a small cock.

If you're into gaming/movies etc. in a big way and can't have a projector in your house, a £3k 65" TV isn't mental money. You can buy it over 2 years with monthly payments. Sky Sports is about £25-30 a month, going to the pub once a week is likely to cost you £50-100 a month, if you smoke, a packet of 20 is £8. Getting a takeaway for one is about £15. Going to Argyle is £21 a ticket. If having a big TV is part of your hobby, what's wrong with buying something like that? A family holiday overseas is likely to cost £3k.
What I woukdn't do is buy something cheap and nasty as it's a false economy. There's a 40" TV in Tesco for £200 but it's rubbish - you're better to spend another £100-200 on a better product.
LG really make bad TVs. And good luck with the Samsung POI, they're notoriously prone to having power issues - keep that receipt safe.

I have two Samsungs in da house already. One is two years old (UE46D8000) and has/is worked/working flawlessly, and the other which is 7 years old which is the one that I had in the Boudoir and has just given up the ghost, hence me buying this £199 Sammy from Currys as a replacement. So I guess I have been lucky, Hairy.

At the time of buying the decent Sammy (UE46D8000) I couldn't afford the Panny I wanted - I will be next year though. 

kill your televisions, you know it makes sense. it only tells you things you dont want to know, tries to sell you shite, and is still showing programmes from the 70's, and is still showing programmes from the 70's, and is still showing programmes from the 70's. endless repeat.

The revolution will not be televised, if it was I could watch it on my Panasonic though.  Great track that btw Gil Scot Heron.
