Olympic rings burned into your plasma TV? Inconsiderate Prime/Sky

[Bald Eagle]

My wife phoned me at work late this afternoon to tell me our 4 year old had ended up underneath the smashed screen of our new plasma TV. Must have been trying to climb up it.

Geeze gunna take ages to replace that on a 4 year olds allowance, send him out to work quick.

He's OK though? there was a little kid killed in one of the earthquakes when a tv fell on him totally not cool.

If he has burned his ring in to it give Prime a call.

Don't Panic! Having the rings is not the end of the world, they should fade in time. If your TV has them, by all means call Prime to complain but there is no need to turn this into an insurance claim....

yep.
It would take something a LOT heavier than a TV to put a dent in my boy.

So, has anyone had this issue and actually bothered to call Prime/Sky? If you have, please let us know how Prime/Sky took care of you.

I never intended to get into the Plasma vs LCD vs LCD LED debate and I won't. In the end it comes down to your personal taste, but this is what some experts say:

Conclusion?

"If you watch a lot of TV during the day, or have a room with lots of windows, an LED TV is probably best. If you watch at night, and want the TV to disappear into the background, plasma is probably best. "

I think people spend far to much time in front of the TV. Rather be having a life.

Thats why my 20" CRT is mint. $20 off TM.

You got ripped off. We couldn't even give our 27" CRT away.

"Olympic rings burned into your plasma TV"

first world problems.

Change "TV" to "KFC" and you got 3rd world.

Not sure how to change the channel to 2nd world. But suspect it has something to do with middle earth.

This lady also got her ring burned by prime, just after this photo was taken.

Frankly I don't know how you can sit down, let alone tell us about it. That bad boy looks like he could have split you in 2
