Kinbig Telly

Among the lengthy sub-set of problems brought about by the need to equip Terminals 2 and 3 has been the need to re-assess our already healthy stock of TV sets.

Which? Magazine has recently done a thorough review of TVs and their main conclusions are that TVs have advanced tremendously in recent times but that small (less than 38 inch screen) TVs, have not.  the prices of large TVs have fallen considerably.  Get  as big a TV as the room will reasonably stand.  Sit closer to it than you have been accustomed to - otherwise, what is the point of super high picture definition if you are too far away to see it?  Relatively large computer screens have emphasised that point.

That's all fine but the main room of the tank-house is so large (kinbig in family parlance).  Not a problem though - there are kinbig tellies to be had nowadays so now was the time to go for it.  We researched online and in Which?  LG is now the brand to go for.  They have comprehensively knocked Samsung off their perch with Panasonic and Sony quite a way behind.

AO.com were the suppliers.  The first kinbig (and kinheavy) TV duly arrived  and was placed, with difficulty, on top of the kinbig cupboard in the kinbig lounge where it unduly dominated the scene - see penultimate picture below.  On its inaugural switch-on it proved to have a broken screen, evidenced by a broken-screen pattern on it:

Bit hard to appreciate the size from that image but, anxious to stress to AO.com what an intrusion on our lives was a broken kinbig TV plus its packaging I took pictures of that too and it worked- see below.  In next to no time a replacement kinbig TV arrived yesterday - and it works!

Be assured the replacement is being located on a stand on the floor!

Any suggestions on disposing of a kinbig cardboard box and accompanying expanded polystyrene?

Update:  I took it to the kintip.  Of course.
