Looking at maybe buying a 26" or 32" Samsung Bordeaux LCD TV for christmas and was wondering what (if any) warranty you get with it.

1 year

Or you get in thrown in with the price.

Anyway, you can also use the consumer "fit for purpose" thing which means a shop has to fix/replace your tv in the first 5 years (or maybe even 7)

That's the expected minimum lifespan of a tv.

well i would probably be buying it for here, so that fit for purpose thing probably wouldnt work.

And why not? You telling me that a reasonable lifespan of a tv is one year? And why is ocuk any different?

Pretty sure for less than £100 you can upgrqade to 5 years with the manufacturer if you want to feel more comfortable.
