Sounds about right. You could probably buy a new telly for less than the repair

Apparently, there's a lot of LCD tvs on sale in pubs around the Tottenham area

Client of ours who repairs TVs etc said its not worth repairing any LCD that has gone. But make sure it is the screen as sometimes its just a switch that burns out.

Comet have now had my tv for 5 weeks after the lcd screen started "solarising" and is knackered, rather than just admit defeat and replace the set they are sourcing a new screen which will probably cost them more in the long run and keep me waiting even longer whilst I wait for the part to turn up. Unless you have any sort of insurance or warranty that covers the tv your probably better of just buying a new tv.

And you'd have got a £50m sweetener as well. Your next visit to the shop as the new owner/employer would have been worth videoing I reckon. Linky

Usually means they are looking for a cheap one, more often a second user one from a unit with another fault.
Usually used as a time waster before offering the customer a stupidly small refund or offer of a vastly inferior replacement.

Thats what I was thinking, However the fault was reported within the 12 month warranty period (however its taking so long to sort the warranty is now over....) so I would assume I'm entitled to a full refund if it can't be repaired, or am I assuming this wrongly?

They are entitled to repair it, the replacement part need not be a new one either, you'd have to check the details in your warranty as to what kind of refund you can get and when, they may offer you a replacement model. You'll get them trying to repair or replace before you get a refund.
