General Comments
Purchased a 36ZP18Q just over a year ago and now it has died. It is stuck in standby mode. Toshiba say it needs a new microprocessor at £300+ .... So now i have a dead TV which cost me over £1700.
So much for good will from Toshiba .....!!!!

on 26th Oct 2003That 6 year liability thing is interesting, makes you wonder why anybody buys extended guarantees.

Why isn't Freeview on LCD and plasmas as good as on my old TV?, Ask
I keep looking to make the jump to a new TV, yet every time I look at them the standard Freeview picture is poor in comparison to my five-year-old Toshiba 32ZP18 TV.

Advice from the Trading Standards website:
Q. I bought a fridge/freezer about 18 months ago, and the freezer section has completely failed. I went back to the shop, but they refused to do anything as it was outside the original 12 month guarantee. What are my rights?
A. Firstly, when you buy goods from a shop, you enter into a contract under the Sale of Goods Act 1979 (as amended). This holds the shop liable for up to six years after purchase (Limitation Act 1980), providing that you can show that the problem is down to an unreasonable fault and not normal wear and tear. Secondly, remember that the guarantee is in addition to these statutory legal rights. Don't be taken in by the shop's argument here - they are using the issue of the guarantee as a red herring to try to avoid their legal obligations toward you. See our leaflet 'Buying Goods' for more information on your rights.
My addition: If you bought it on credit (including card) the finance company are also liable.
