Howdy folks, first post here so be gentle! Picked up a 42SL8000 last October from play.com for the bargain price of £835 (strangely they're now charging £1000 - supply and demand I assume). So far I've found it to be pretty damn good, there's been the obvious slight lack of black which some of the other brands do better, but at the time the equivalent Sony's and Samsung's were a couple of hundred quid more so I wasn't going to complain. I've been running SkyHD, Xbox360 and a Sony Blu-ray into it via a Sony STR-DH800 AV receiver, and with a bit of tweaking it's performed admirably well...
...right up until today when I noticed something between the screen and the plastic coating starting to come away around the edge. It's not quite going over the screen itself yet so it's still watchable but obviously it's not ideal! Will be getting in contact with Play tomorrow and no doubt a long drawn-out battle will commence whereby I have to inform them that it is their responsibility to provide me with a replacement at no cost to me, thanks to our wonder Sale Of Goods Act 1979
Here's a pic of the offending item:
