Was the led that bad bru?

Wouldn't even have considered LG except for the OLED screen. I usually buy Sharp TV, in fact I have another 3 Sharp TVs here. Except for the 70" (which also had LED screen problem after 1+ years) all the rest are functioning quite well (touch wood).

The Sharp technicians came the following working day to replace the LED screen. No waiting for them (LG) to call me up within 3 days to set an appointment. Mitsubishi service centre is the worst of them all. My fridge conked out a few years back and called them in to repair it. They borrowed me another fridge and took mine back for repairs (twice) cos the first time didn't work and the second time as well. Ended up calling an old Cina Apek who fix fridges and he came in immediately and got it fixed. No problems since then up till now. Bad thing was that he left his screw driver inside the fridge that he had to come back a few hours later to retrieve it as it was behind the back panel of the freezer.

Yes, heard that. Except for a few high end models made in Japan, I think the Sharp TV brand will die soon. Toshiba is actually a more reliant brand but they seem unable to keep up the pace with others. Have a few friends working for HSL and Best and they say that the fewest warranty claims are TVs from Toshiba whereas Samsung has the most. Yes, the quantities sold makes a lot of difference but they tell me that percentage wise, Toshiba is still the best of the lot.

Same with other equipment, Bosch is best with washing machines and fridges. One of the Bosch/Miele/Indesit technicians told me that in his 2 years with the company, he has never been called to repair a Bosch washer or fridge except for replacing the rubber seals which hardens with time and unavoidoable. Quality plays a big part and I don't mind paying for higher end models but never expected my OLED TV to die after less than 2 weeks.
