What Are my Rights on a Faulty Television?

We purchased a 70” Samsung tv January 2021, by December 2021 it had to have a screen replacement due to defects in the screen. Now March 2023 it is stuck in boot loop and will not stay in. Samsung have said it’s out of warranty (12 months) but the tv was nearly £1000 this should not be happening. How can I get help with this?

My mum purchased a 55 inch Hitachi tv in August 22. It has since become faulty with no power whatsoever. Argos will only offer a repair which you have to jump through hoops to even get a technician out. I have demanded a refund or replacement and they are refusing saying its their policy only to repair it. Are they legally obliged to replace or refund if under a year old?

We purchased a Phillips Ambilight 50” Tv (50PUS8105/12) in February 2021. Last weekend, 25Apr 2022, when we put it on, we had the sound and ambient lights at the sides but no picture. Contacted Phillips who have washed their hands with the matter as it’s 2 month outwith the Warranty. I’d advise anyone to buy extended warranties with the LED tellies. AND DONT BUY PHILLIPS BRAND!!!

Hi I bought a Philips TV Dec 2020 and it died 2 weeks ago... only 3 months outside of warranty the TV was £600 its immaculate condition and hasn't been moved since day of installation. No consoles or any hdmi devices have been connected to the TV. Philips refuse to help due to being outside of warranty. I'm pretty sure their TVs are supposed to last more than 2 years please help!

Hi I bought a new Toshiba 55” tv from Argo a but when we tried to start it up it was full of lines with the top right corner outed a square area. We returned to aegis today but they refused to give us a refund saying it was accidental damage. They showed us finger prints on the top right hand corner. There was tiny writing on the box saying don’t touch the screen. But honestly we didn’t see it. How much impact would it take to slide the tv out of the box. Where do I stand with this.

I purchased 2 Toshiba TV,s from Tesco for just under £900 and both have now broke and just outside the warranty period. Is there anything I can do. One breaking fair enough but 2 that isn't right at all. If anyone can help. Neither Tesco or Toshiba want to help.

Bought a JVC 50 inch it was delivered 12th January,have to keep resetting it, then next time you watch it can only get BBC1…no other programmed except Netflix & prime!Keeps saying no signal but all the other tvs in the house are unaffected. Can I ask for a full refund?

Bought a jvc from Currys on Sunday 2023 took it home put it on the wall to find picture quality was terrible could watch it at all next day took back to Currys for a refund which they refused as I had opened the box what can I do ?

What a useless article this is. The very last throwaway line is the only thing that really matters: the warranty. Suggesting that someone should add burden to the courts over a broken TV before suggesting that they check their warranty is ludicrous! The short version is simple: if it's in warranty then it should be repaired or replaced like for like where possible as long as the damage to the device is due to a fault with the device itself.

Bought an LG tv 3 years ago. Backlights have failed. I agreed to pay £150 to have LG repair it. Sent away and then returned-lights fixed but remote didn’t work. Sent away again and this time they returned it with the screen smashed and frame completely snapped. Purchased through Argos card and although the purchase is on my account there is no detail of the transaction. LG have refused to accept anything Argos send them as proof of purchase, won’t do anything until they have proof of purchase. Ultimately I’ve paid £150 for them to break my tv

Bought a brand new Samsung UE70TU7100 70” 4K TV in Jan 2021 and it’s stopped working in Aug 2022. I had paid £649 for it in an offer. Now Samsung says it’s out of warranty and sonic direct says I’m to contact Samsung. Really upset the tv has died after 17 months. Keeps going off persistently, I can hear the sound but the screen is blank. Apparently it’s a known fault in Samsung TVs but is there anything I can do? I hadn’t had it insured as I wasn’t expecting it to go this soon.

I bought a bush 50 inch beginning of 2021 and it was faulty,after ringing Bush and doing tests on the TV they said it needed replacing,argos the seller didn't have the same model,so sent me a 50 inch Toshiba to replace it, 15 months later it has a big purple line running through it and after ringing Toshiba they admit it's not fixable but because its just over 12 months they won't replace it, neither will argos,what can I do? Please help

Boughta Samsung UE43AU8000 TV on 25/11/21 from Richer Sounds c/w 6 Years guarantee. On 29/05/22 which is 6 months later, the TV stopped working. Richer Sounds say to contact Samsung with TV details and pictures of TV. Samsung have now said that they will not fix TV as warranty does not cover it. They haven’t even sent out a TV engineer to look at the TV to see what the fault is.

Hi, I bought in November 2020 58" Hitachi smart TV in Argos. I had one year warranty. In May 2022 my TV has panel failure. Argos told me that they can't help. Do I have anychance Hitachi will have longer warranty. Many thanks

Purchased My 58inch hitachi tv on 13/11/20 around 18 months ago screen the screen has frozen and now gone black and white. I rang Argos and they have told me that I am out of warranty by 6 months. What are my rights?should they give me a replacement or repair . The tv is hung up on the wall so no one has damaged it so is definitely manufacture fault. I also still have receipt.

My 65" Samsung I bought in May 2020 with an rrp of £1299 has had faults and bugs cropping up for several months and getting worse and now it's giving me purple squares and green lines that move even when paused when I try watch any streaming app. The home button still bring up the browsing options and homepages of apps, but when I start to stream it goes wierd. It went from crashing once or twice a day to several or a dozen times a day now, it fails to load some apps, thinks I want one source when I'm selecting another, had to select bbci player 9 times before it would stop giving me nintendo switch and gave me bbci players. Samsung say they only give 12 months to TVs regardless of price paid (so even their ultra expensive 8k crystal LED and their 98" £17,999 TVs also only get 12 months too, yet their phones including their cheapest one gets 24 months... Never buying Samsung again as my galaxy s20+ has had signal faults and my previous s8 had issues too. Will be switching to Toshiba and iPhone as my £299 48" Toshiba TV (gave to my parents when i got this samsung) has lasted 7 years of constant use and perfectly fine besides the brightness dimming a little revently, and my 32" Philips I got in 2008 lasted 8 years before being stored away and it still works, which I might have to revert to if this samsung fully packs in.

Hi i have a 65" panasonic TV, paid for on a weekly basis for 2 years. Not even a month after finishing paying for it I get multi colours all over the screen. Has not been damaged as it sorted itself out but its doing it again now. Perfect home saying its not their problem but panasonic said I have to pay for it to be repaired but surely that's not fair, it should still be under some sort of warranty

I bought a 40inch Panasonic tv 18 months ago it turns on I get sound but no picture, what are my consumer rights, I bought it at Argos

I purchased a Toshiba 43 inch smart TV on 22/9/19 from Tesco Dunfermline.This month the screen went blank and has remained like this. Tesco say it can’t do anything as the warranty of one year has run out. Surely a television sound last longer than 22 months? Otherwise it’s not fit for purpose , is it ? I don’t know where to turn, it seems so unfair.

Purchased a Samsung QLED 65 TV through VERY in September 2019, today the screen went blank and is now persistently going on and off, I am assuming there is a fault in remote updates for the Smart TV however I’m unable to get in to settings through the remote as it doesn’t stay on long enough, looks like it’s well and truly broken! Samsung states 1 year warranty, but for a TV under 2 years old at a cost of £1200 shouldn’t just go surely? What are my rights, who should I be contacting? VERY or SAMSUNG? Thank you!

I purchased a 43” LG TV from curry’s in 2019 and all was well until the screen went blank out of nowhere. There is still sound but no image, I’m assuming it’s a burnt tube or fuse in the TV that is causing this however I’m not sure whether this is classed as a Manufacturer Fault. Can someone help?

Purchased Samsung 55” TV 27 months ago and screen is turning black. Started as a line and is getting bigger. Samsung said out of 2 years warranty so would be charged:with no guarantee they can fix plus he payment I don’t feel happy going ahead and feel 2 years is a short period for a tv with a brand like Samsung to break.They offered us 15% off a new one that we have to purchase through there website.Sorry don’t just have 100’s in the bank to purchase a new one. Do we have any rights? We purchased through a catalogue who have also said out of warranty nothing they can do.

I spent £2k for a 50” Samsung tele about 7 months ago, and the screen just gone recently, afterwards I contacted to the Samsung and they fixed twice and still didn’t work and they just took back for third time. I asked for refund or replacement as I don’t want to keep this tele after being fixing that many times. But when I contacted to the the head office they are saying they will keep just fixing as many as they need it. Is any way I can get refund or replacement for this issue. Thank you in advance

Hi I bought New 55cm LG TV after 7 days I realized that the screen has movement, what must I do?

Currys changed me 95 to diagnose an issue ,they said if its a manufacturer fault I will be refunded the fee. I have been refunded but they only offer 328 as compensation, and told me its down to me to prove its a manufacturer fault... we they've admitted that when they refunded my 95. the tv is 33 month old sony bravia costing almost900. The 328 is not acceptable as far as I'm concerned as the unit should last a reasonable amount of time.The customer service is shocking so I've escalated the issue with Dixons cdl.and still no answer.

I would like to know my rights if a SONY tv bought in good faith can no longer connect due to new policy agreement I do not want to sign. This was not part of the agreement on purchase

Purchased a Sony bravia tv with a 5 year warranty which is now 3.5 years old. I recently had it professionally calibrated & was informed it had screen burn issues this was picked up whilst being calibrated you can't notice it watching tv normally. The manufacturer has offered me a similar replacement is it possible to keep the tv & get a part refund & they cancel the remainder of the warranty.
