Anonymous | I have £1500 and want to buy a plasma screen with speakers and stand included - it seems like the only 42" model I can afford in that price range is the special offer from TINY - has anyone bought one of these? Any feedback? Any good/bad experiences? |

Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 1894 Registered: Dec-03 | watch out for "burn in" problems. They are probably older models and very prone to this problem. |

New member Username: FrisbeePost Number: 1 Registered: Dec-04 | Berny - What is a 'burn in' problem. I have a new 42 Tiny Plasma. On SKY channel the picture is out of synch with the sound of speech. It is marginally so on BBC1 channel. I have been told by Tiny that if I return it to them for a technical check and nothing is found to be wrong, then they will charge me £150 for the privilege. Does anyone else have this out-of-synch problem? |

Steve Moss Unregistered guest | Berny, Harry, I have had a Tiny 42" since mid-December. Not altogether satified with it. It has a recurring and intermittent problem with a strange slight shift in the picture which appears as a horizontal band above which the picture is slightly displaced to the left or right. This band moves up or down the screen then disappears for a bit. Have also noticed that, when the action (normally the camera) moves fast, there is a momentary colour separation. This is most noticeable when a large face is on-screen which moves suddenly. It looks like the blue or red lags a bit, before they re-combine to produce a proper flesh tone. I rather wish I'd waited for a better quality one, as I suspect this is the price one pays for cheapness. The former problem is clearly a fault. |

New member Username: FrisbeePost Number: 2 Registered: Dec-04 | Steve I'd say you have a real problem here. Under the Sale of Goods Act, anything you buy should properly do what it is supposed to do. If the product fails you then have the advantage of going to the Small Claims Court and getting your money back. But I guess you'll need your own independent expert witness in order to prove your case. If you win, any expert witness expenses can be claimed from the other party. I'm waiting for the New Year to settle in and will then seriously consider sending my Tiny 42" Plasma back for technical assessment of the problem. I've also noticed it's out of synch on other channels. |

Bronze Member Username: Bangbang023Brooklyn, NY United State... Post Number: 23 Registered: Dec-04 | As the case with most plasmas, you get what you pay for. I know an inexpensive plasma is alluring, but it's not worth the money you save. Issues such as burn in, lack of HD support, and the plasma gas quickly being used up are all common in cheap sets. |

Computer Shop employee Unregistered guest | Working for one of the Tiny.com Sister companies, i can assure you that these 42"Focus screens at £1299 use 3rd Generation Samsung Panels with a 3000:1 contrast ratio, i have seen many of these plasma screens in our various stores across the country and they all give a perfect picture. In fairness i haven't seen a model with a TV tuner included so i can't comment on this but it is a good quality product. The reason they are so cheap is because they are built to order and go straight from the manufacturer so the costs are kept lower! If you buy one of the Optima plasmas at £999 then this is a poorer quality screen. |
|
Anonymous | I heard that if you want to discuss any issues about the screens from Tiny once delivered this is only possible through a premium rate number. And if you send it back for repair under warranty, you have to pay extortionate shipping costs? Anyone had any experience of this? |
|
Computer Shop employee Unregistered guest | The standard warranty does only give you a £1/min support number and if it went back to the factory for repair they would charge you carriage costs of about £200 (this is due to size, weight and value of goods for insured carriage!!) Repairs would normally take about 28 days. There is extended support options, where you pay a monthly direct debit payment for as long as you want with no ties. Silver support is the best value @ £20/month. It gives you national rate suport line and a 7 day swap out at your door if it goes wrong, so no carriage costs!! Good news, as of Friday 7 Jan 05 the delivery time is now only 14 days for the focus models. Why not pop into your local computer shop, they have them on display there! Hope this helps |

New member Username: FrisbeePost Number: 3 Registered: Dec-04 | computer shop employee says, 'It gives you national rate suport line and a 7 day swap out at your door if it goes wrong, so no carriage costs!' Well, I've got the £20 a month standard. When I complain that the SKY Channel and BBC1 is out of synch I am told it will cost me £150 if they find no fault with the Plasma. The implication being that the problem is my end on my equipment. This is a bit hard to take! |
|
Computer Shop employee Unregistered guest | As i mentioned previously, i haven't seen a model with a tv tuner card as these are not sent to any stores!! I will try and email the plasma team when i get a free moment and see if they have any ideas. |

Jon Collis Unregistered guest | I have just ordered a top of the range 42" plasma screen from tiny. They are great screens, the latest genreration plasma panels are great. These screens have an amazing life. If you leave them running for eight hours a day, 365 days a year they could last up to 21 years. My old CRT tv lasted 10 years! These screen do not need gassing and do not degrade. If you look at the specs you get as good a panel as some of the £3500 products. It all sound good. Mine comes in little under two weeks. I will let you know how I get on and if it's a good system. Good luck and watch this space |

Jon G Unregistered guest | I had a Tiny Plasma 42" Focus set delivered just before Christmas, and I to had a problem with sound synch and they quickly swapped the set for me and now all is fine. I did find that this occured mainly on BBC1 and was put down to a fault with the tuner. Direct inputs from DVD and Sky were fine. The worst part of the whole experience was having to wait upto an hour to get an answer from the Customer Service Centre where the girl reluctantly admitted that there were only 4 people answering the phones !! |
|
computer shop employee Unregistered guest | Sorry all, i have not had a proper chance to get more detail on this plasma sound synch problem. If there is a hardware error then tiny.com should replace the set for you under your silver guarantee, but if it is an external fault then they will charge for repair!! by the looks of the previous post i would say that there appears to be an issue so if you speak to them again they may well agree to swap over the set for you! |

Unregistered guest | Dont touch Tiny with a barge pole. I order my £2,200 cinema packege on the 28th of December. It never came. Having parted with my money Tiny let me down on two seperate occasions. They even insisted that it was on the delivery van. It never came. I have spent hours on the phone, they just keep palming me off. They could'nt give a toss now they have my money. I have phoned and cancelled my order and they said that someone would ring me back. This has not happened. I have now bought an Hitachi plasma screen. Another issue with Tiny's screens is that they advertise them as high resolution screens. This is rubish as I have just read a test in essentail hi fi and home cinema magazine and they say the low resolution screen makes a off putting high pitched noise as it struggles to diplay the graphics of a DVD. These panels will not work when Sky switch over to their HDTV format in 2006. Tiny can go get stuffed. I scanned in Tiny's advert and a copy of the screen report and I have sent it to my local trading standards office. I have also complained to the BBC Watchdog program. Please if your thinking of buying from Tiny....save yourself a lot of greif and dont bother! Save up for something that is future proof and to be honest a much better product. |

Anonymous | I purchased a 42" Tiny plasma in December. I had a speech synch. problem, which seems to have been eliminated or reduced, by direct connections to SKY. My friend has a 42" Pioneer HD Plasma. His screen exibits identical speech synch. miss match as the Tiny model. We have both viewed both screens simultaniously, and both believe the tiny panel indicates a slightly better picture. Only main difference was, he paid 3 times as much for the Pioneer. The Pioneer does seem to have a nicer surround though. In summary, if you are willing to take the risk, of rubbish Tiny after sales support, save yourself some serious cash and go for the tiny model. |

Unregistered guest | DO NOT PART WITH ANY HARD EARNED CASH INTO THE COFFERS OF TINY.COM Any savings that you think will be made with be burn up in lost wages awaiting promised deliveries, in my case twelve (YES Twelve days)and cost of phone calls (Not to mention time, 20 to 45 minutes `awaiting the next available advisor`) Now I find the TV has problems and am having to have my Plasma TV replaced after only one month. Again I urge you, DO NOT PURCHASE A PLASMA TV FROM TINY.COM |

rainy12 Unregistered guest | Tiny screens are built at a low cost and this is passed to the customer. Customer gets a great deal as incurring costs are kept to a minimum. Our plasma screens are Samsung as have a low breakdown rate - lower than the industry average |
|
Unregistered guest | Rainy12 I will not debate your comments regarding quality and breakdown rates but will say that after only one month my Tiny Plasma has had to be returned for repair. Rather odd that you do not sing any praises for your companies crap customer services (please refer to my previous post) Regards Phil Griffiths |

Anonymous | All of the above posts make very interesting reading, having just bought the 42" Tiny plasma Focus package. I have to say that for the price, the picture is unbelieveably good through Composite input - i.e. DVD play is exceptional. I have previously had Pioneer and Sony plasmas in this model is definitely superior. I agree about the surround sound being naff however, and can only suggest you pump the sound through a separate decent amplifier - this is what I have done and there is no synch problem. The problems that are definitely apparent with this model are: 1. The horizontal distortion that appears on fast action scenes ( a horizontal bar that appears about 1/3 down the picture. Question to Computer Shop Employee: Do you think Tiny will replace on this basis (as it is an obvious problem with the model) even though it only occurs once every 5 or so times you use it? 2. The synch problem with Sky. My Plasma does not have a tuner, so I connect via scart (because annoyingly it doesn't have S-vid) and the synch problem is definitely an issue. I linked my 42" rear projection up in exactly the same way and there is no synch problem, so I think it is down to the plasma. I'm going to try the premium rate number from work and see what happens - I will let you know the outcome. But in short, the Plasma IS great value for money for watching DVDs (I certainly haven't had the colour shift problem mentioned above), the delivery time was fine (about 4 days) but I will hold comment on the after-sales until after I phone them! |

Steve I to have similar problems with my toshiba 27WL46 LCT TV - I paid £799 from comets which was almost £400 cheaper. So I also took out the extended warranty for peace of mind. I contacted toshiba to ask what the possible problem was when there was rapid movement. I had my DNR set to sharpest and they recommended switch it to OFF. This seems to have solved the problem but why have settings for it in the first place. |

component or HDMI or DVI with HDCP? Unregistered guest | I am a computer shop employee and am amazed at the quality of the picture its really very good with a fantastic saving! I am considering buying one for myself and would urge others to do the same! Many people have commented on the fact that it wont be compatible for the new hi def input but the fact is most plasma's wont! If it is going to be outputed through HDMI may i remind everyone that SONY themselves advertised the M1 and the XS1 series as hi-def ready how can this be so when there is no HDMI input? wich leads me to think that the hi def may be broadcasted through component(maybe ntl?)! if it is outputed through component then the Tiny plasma is capable of reciving it as is the sony range. i myself have seen hi def (outputed through component!) and its very good but when it does come out you will have to pay a premium for it as with sky plus wich makes me think is it all worth it? It is a very good picture but i was very happy with the quality of freeview on the tiny panel and cant justify spending the extra amount of money for the better picture. selling the panel myself I have had excellent customer feedback and think that in genral it is a very good buy. I have viewed the pioneer XDE and must say that the picture on hi def is excellent but then i saw it on freeview i ask you yourselves to look at the two panels side by side on a freeview signal and tell me wich looks better! freeview or normal sky is what joe bloggs is really going to be watching not hig def not for a good few years why worry about something that isnt here yet and that no one really knows how its going to be broadcasted? until then buy a tiny panel and enjoy the money you save! |

Anonymous | I bought a Tiny Plasma just before Xmas and have never been really happy with it. For the price, I can put up with the occasional smearing of the picture but the sound going out of synch is really getting on my nerves. Rang Tiny a few times over the past weeks to try and resolve this. After being given the code to access the engineering menus I was able to do a Data hard reset which temporarily sorted it, but gradually it goes out of synch again. I was told today by their Tech Support that they can do no more as, I quote, this is an industry wide problem. I know a few people with plasmas and they don't have any problems so it looks like i'll have to get a solicitor involved and start legal action to get my money back or a replacement.Anyone else having similar problems? DON'T BUY ANYTHING FROM TINY. |

Unregistered guest | I bought my 42" plasma from Tiny several months ago and have had problems with the sound out of sync. After several expensive calls to Tiny someone has finally advised me that the sync problem only occurs when the signal is through a freeview or sky digibox? Is this true? If this is the case then Tiny should let customers know this. Lots of people now own plasma screens and lots have sky or freeview, surely they don,t all suffer the same problem? What can I do? |

joe547040 Unregistered guest | Tiny plasmas are crap but there is another reason not to buy. as an employee of the company in know whats going on . One by one over the past months they have been closing down there retail stores one by one giving no notice just walking in and closing them down. The whole company will be gone in the next 12 months . |

Anonymous | I bought a tiny plasma a couple of months ago, Im overall pleased with what i have. to be honest, if you go to buy a plasma at 1300 quid and expect it to be perfect quality then obviously you live in a world of your own. dvd playback is fine, playing playstation/x-box is perfect and fair enough on sky the voice sync is a little out but i dont have a problem doing a data hard reset. As for the £1/min phone lines id come to expect that from any company, they're all looking out to take your money and save as much as they can!!! id advise anyone to buy one with a tight budget. |
|
Philip Griffiths Unregistered guest | Silly you, when you purchased your Plasma it may well have been advertised at £1300, but the advert also said it was at half price and comparable with more expensive Plasma TVs, you therefor purchased an item worth £2600 (Tiny.com said so!!)and you are happy?? I have had to have a replacement, followed by an engineer visit followed by, a `hard data reset` follwed by, a £30 call to be told to plug it into another mains socket, followed by it being collected today for repair. Good luck to you, I hope the problems that I have had do not show up on your set. P.S What was the staff discount rate when you purchased your Plasma?? |
|
Anonymous | None he he he.I do have one tho, i just know how to set it up properly!!! And when i buy something thats that cheap i know its not going to be amazing. You CANNOT slate the plasmas quality compared to the price!!! I agree with you though, after sales is terrible. I have to put up with it everyday dealing with them and trust me i have to spend even longer on the phone than you do with up to 40 mins waiting time to even get through. In regards to your phone calls, send a letter to the HO with a copy of your phone bill and they will refund it (it will take a while but they will). And if anyone else wants to do a data reset without having to call out an engineer do the following: Press dsp quickly followed by left, right and enter (at the bottom of the remote) This will give you the engineer menu. I would like to say its your responsibity if you decide to fanny around in this menu and dont blame tiny!!! |

Taz36 Unregistered guest | The picture on all plasma Tv's will always blur. I have worked in a TV shop. Plasma's contain a gas within them and so when there are fast moving item on screen like a football match the screen will blur because the gas cannot keep up. Where as the better option is LCD which contains liquid which means the picture wont blur as liquid is faster than the gas. So forget plasma's and save up and buy a LCD TV. |

Unregistered guest | taz you have no idea what your talking about lcd's are just as bad for what you call "bluring" just take a look at any 32" lcd and youl notice it there too can i suggest you look at the pioneer PLASMA with an HD sorce (euro 1080) and tell me what you think of the picture quality! its people like you that give plasma a bad name i bet your the person who tells everyone they can be refilled lol lcd's are great below 32" plasma is great 32" and over |

Phil Griffiths Unregistered guest | I have said it before and I will say it again...... Yes I, and many other people paid £1300 BUT Tiny.com advertised the Plasma TV`s at half price and that they were comparable with Plasma sets being sold at TWICE that price, they are still advertising the same although the price has fallen. Tiny.com have told and continue to tell untruths, has an poor attitude to its customers (once it has received your cash) has a technical department that is hopeless "try plugging it into a different mains socket to cure the faults" I have taken Tiny.com to the County court, they have not even bothered responding to court papers served on them.

Thankfully, I paid for the goods on my credit card and will be fully reimbursed by the credit card company. I suggest that anybody else that has recently paid by CC to do the same. I am sorry for the employees of Tiny who now find themsselves out on their ar*es with no salary for July. If it helps, my friends and I broke into the local Computer Shop and stole the two display televisions as well as an assortment of electrical goods and furniture. ;-) Leonski. |

Andy W Unregistered guest | I bought 42" tiny plasma package with 5 year "gold" warranty for £1799.99 about 3 months ago. I have so far been happy with the telly and have not had any synch or picture problems. Im guessing my warranty will be totally useless now but im not too fussed as i got the package on 12 months interest free credit and have only paid £100 deposit on it. Do you think they will still try and recover the full cost of the package cos there is no way im paying for a warranty that is void to a bankrupt company. |

Silver Member Username: Rysa4Post Number: 143 Registered: Jul-05 | The back of the plasma is typically opened up and a circuit board is replaced. Parts fail/entire panels do not. The power supply works. The glass/pixel structure is fine. This is an electronics failure and only one part of the electronics as well. |

My problem lies in the support company refusing to do anything about it, they quote that all Plasma screens buzz and if they brought me a new one it would buzz too so they are trying to duck out of doing anything at all. Is this a common problem and is their anything that can be done to stop it buzzing? I have a Silver Support package with Total Care and Support. |

My problem lies in the support company refusing to do anything about it, they quote that all Plasma screens buzz and if they brought me a new one it would buzz too so they are trying to duck out of doing anything at all. Is this a common problem and is their anything that can be done to stop it buzzing? I have a Silver Support package with Total Care and Support. |

Velvetundercoat Unregistered guest | I have been offered support form a Company called Total Care. They offered support for my Tiny Plasma screen Tv now that they have gone into receivership. They are asking £12.99 a month for bronze and other amounts for silver and gold cover. However everytime I ask the Company to send me a copy of their terms and conditions, which are not included in their advertising literature before I sign up, I never recieve a 'Dickybird'. I find this most suspicious, does anyone else have experience of or know about this Company? |

I have been trying to get a call back from an engineer for three weeks now, they tried to call me once when I had forgot my mobile two weeks ago since then, nada. I have the Silver Package, but so far this doesn't seem to make any difference to the service,(refer to previous message). You can visit www.totalcaresupport.com for Ts&Cs and further details. Best of Luck. |
