bought sharp 39' last year at harvey N with 3 years ext warr ..use for 2 months HALO effect started, thinking of return to Sharp for repair but no time at last my child slammed it with remote control last week making huge cracks lol..LED also can cracks..just now bought toshiba 40' smart tv for RM 970 from tesco as replacement..

About 6 months. Actually bought 2 units. 1X 60" & 1X 70" and it is the 70" which had a problem.
Don't know about others cos I have been buying Sharp TV all this while. Never had a problem with them before (until the last episode). My usual appliance store which I get all my electrical appliances said that the least problematic TV is actually Toshiba whereas Samsung is the most problematic TV (but highest selling brand). Mitsubishi fridges are another thing though. Mine conked out a few years ago (won't defrost) and they took the fridge back TWICE but still can't fix it. Got an uncle who fixes fridges and he like changed the circuit board and that fixed it promptly. No problem till today (touch wood). So no more Mitsubishi appliances for me, ever.

Best fridge (according to the old uncle who fixes everything) is Bosch. Says that he has never been called to fix one. Same with the technician who came to change the rubber seal on my washer. He is an authorised Miele and Bosch technician and he says he too has never been called to repair a Bosch refrigerator. Don't know about Bosch fridges but the Bosch stove I have is bloody sensitive. Lift the pan off it a bit and it goes off (safety cutoff). Mine is piped in gas and if the flow is not constant, it goes off. Haiz!

I think the moderator is gonna kill us for discussing fridges and washers and cookers in a problematic TV topic. Maybe should start one problematic electrical equipment topic.

Frankly speaking I think it is our fluctuating power supply which is causing all the electrical problems in all our equipment. That is why I isolate all my audio and video equipment these days. Luckily my new place has 3 phase electricity (less fluctuation compared to single phase).

SO the story goes like this...

My Sharp after 6 years LCD problem...32"...entry level basic

Now gonna purchase/upgrade to at least 55" 

Haven't bought...but looks like front runner is Samsung curved led tv...too hooked on the curve thingy

Full HD/UHD...Im thinking the distant to TV is quite far so doesn't make much difference between UHD/Full HD...so Full HD lo

Sony/Panasonic/Sharp also in the running....

No need smart TV (got android TVBox)...

Not into 3D

HDR? No Full HD HDR leh...
