As some of you may know I am looking for (well found..) a 42inch tv and i have narrowed it down to three. The GT30 (bit too pricey yet it's supposed to have less reflections), The GT20(heard mixed reviews specially compared to the GT30) or the G30 (heard some bad things) So i decided to go and check them out in store (not that a shop is the best place for an inspection)So i spent friday, Saturday and Sunday trawling the streets of Bridgwater, Taunton, Bristol and Weston-super-mere and found....nothing. No shops had any of the tvs (well Currys in Taunton had the GT20 but very badly tuned)
So i came up with a somewhat cunning plan..
I would buy my less favoured model (G30)(also the cheapest) from The rainforest website and see what it was like, if i wasn't happy then send it back under the distant selling regulations/law (rainforest pays the P+P) and buy the GT20, once again if I wasn't happy send it back and then get my favoured (yet more expensive model) the GT30. While this would really allow me to check out the model at home. I do feel a little guilty doing this to the rainforest.. and also a little worried they will be a bit p'ed off lol
I have spent nearly a week studying many hours into the night on each of the models and I would really like to see them in action for myself rather than rely on reviews from reviewers who are either too picky (as in they mark the TV down 10% if the remote is fiddly), paid off by panasonic, or just have different expectations than I have. I normally use hdtvtest. However i have found a few reviews on tv's that i have used whic they mark pretty low when they arn't nearly as bad as they say.
This seems to be the only way to view them/try myself, but is it taking the P and unfair on the rainforests good faith with the consumer.. or am i worrying too much
