My wife is disabled and she has a habit of falling a lot because her legs just give way, unfotunatly this time she pulled the TV over with her.

Bye bye lovely 60"plasma :(

Perhaps go for something wall mounted? Takes it a little more out of the way, though a fall against it is still not going to end well (for either party).

Hope she's alright.

Oh ****! Hope she's ok?

Do you have any warranty which covers this kind of damage?

Yes she will survive and its covered by a certain stores whateverhapens policy so it looks like ill be getting a new TV, because I can only assume that isn't fixable, of course if it is, great because the picture quality from the LG60PK990 plasma was fantastic.
 
I know someone who had a similar thing happen but it was his kid that pushed/pulled the TV over.

I did mention to him that he should really get the TV wall mounted because as soon as the wee guy starts moving around no doubt he's going to be fascinated by the TV and start touching, it, etc. He didn't listen though obviously and now has to fork out for a new TV and a wall mount.

I would suggest the same for yourself in the future, get a decent wall mount and make sure it's fixed to the wall/joists properly.
 
The only thing with wall mounting is that wall is a paper thin plasterboard type of thing, I wouldn't trust it with the weight of that set 51kg. Hopefully any replacement will be much lighter.

Nope I work in one of the stores up north. Have seen all sorts of repairs come in like this, OP, do you know if your on club or premium WEH?

Premium.

They are picking it up tomorrow morning, I cannot see it being repairable as its now more like one of these curved TVs rather than a flat panel. :(
 
been looking at the currant offers from said store and this two seem to stand out as a nice idea.

I know LG are not the best, but the last 3 large screen TVs I've had have all been LG's and I personally really cannot fault them. Where as my sons Sony 32 inch panel has gone wrong 3 times in two years, and the Panasonic in my bedroom has gone wrong once already and its only year old.

Good luck getting a £3k TV as a replacement for your old one, the 4K series are not a direct replacement, I would envisage this is more likely to be what they would consider a like for like
