There are many reasons to consider repairing your LCD TV rather than buying a new set. Large electrical stores make considerable profits from selling new TV sets, so they do not have much incentive to advise you to repair your existing one. Nonetheless, getting your TV repaired by a good television repair shop can be much less expensive than buying a new set. It is also friendlier to the environment.
There are many advantages of using the internet to find a company offering LCD TV repair. For one thing, the Internet is fantastically convenient. It is possible to just log on to a search engine like Google and immediately start searching for companies offering to repair your LCD TV. This can be done outside of working hours, even in the middle of the night if you so wish. It certainly beats the awkwardness and inconvenience of getting the phone book out and phoning around seemingly suitable companies, on the basis on only limited information, one by one.
What to look for in a company offering TV repairs
The right company offering LCD TV repairs should be able to repair all makes and models of LCD flat panel TVs. The best company should be able to repair a faulty LCD TV economically, and have an independent workshop that has been specifically designed for the repair and servicing of LCD televisions, including LCD edge lit and LCD backlit TVs. Such a workshop should be fully equipped with all of the required spares, test equipment and tools so that the next time your TV is repaired, it actually lasts for a decent amount of time rather than needing to be taken back again just a few months down the line.
The right television repair shop will be fully qualified, and will have extensive experience of fault finding to component level. This is an increasingly rare skill, even among television repair shops, but will allow an old set to have an extended life without being immediately thrown away in favour of a new TV, which is certainly what most retailers would prefer you to do, being much quicker to deem a faulty TV to be un-repairable or "beyond economical repair".
