TV Times

I received a £50 discount voucher for Currys/PC World a number of weeks ago with the condition I had to spend at least two hundred pounds in order to get the money off.

It could only be used from the 16th February so I have spent nearly a month having a look to see whether there was anything I wanted to buy.

I settled for a 3D TV. If you had read my post two days ago, I guess that explains why I brought up these models of television.

I read a lot of reviews, watched YouTube videos (what is it with people wanting to film themselves unboxing their purchases?) and checked out customer feedback on some of the main shopping sites and decided to get hold of a 23 inch.

And then - two days ago - I noticed it was classed as a 'TV Monitor'which means, if I wanted to experience the 3D properly, I had to sit right up to the screen.

The screen would be too far from my bed.

So, it was on to the next TV on the list.

And then the next.

And the next.

I finally decided I was going to get a 32 inch LED model by the same brand. I did a check to see if there was stock available in my nearest store.

You know where this is going, right?

Yes - you were right. It was sold out.

I would say it was a case of 'back to the drawing board' but I've given up for now. Sort of.

There is little point me buying a TV that I didn't want just for the sake of getting a discount. I'll wait and see if more stock of the one I want becomes available. If it does, good. If it doesn't - there's always the bank holiday sales.
