I bought a Philips 40PFL8007 in late 2013 for £800 from Richer Sounds. It had been reduced from £1300 I believe.
It has had it's software niggles since I bought it but with each firmware release has come additional issues. The Philips forums are full of disgruntled owners.
Anyway, RS have sent 2 repair companies out who have said they could sort it, with both fitting a new mainboard but alas the issues persist.
RS have now said they will exchange the TV.
I called customer service this evening and the guy I spoke to first said we don't have any Plasmas. I replied that's ok, it's an LED TV. He then began to list basics like 3D, size etc etc.
I expressed my concern with this saying a £300 TV will match the basic specs but won't come near the picture quality. He informed me they would look at some models and speak to some guys in a shop to see what they think.
So... what would you guys say would be a similar spec TV? I'm open to something larger as well.
Cheers.
