Comment on Goodmans GTVL42W15HD by Steven

Hi Laurie.

Things are good with me. No new TV yet; still have my Sony X Series, which I’m pretty happy with. Not a big fan of the glossy finishes on a lot of new screens; much prefer a nice matte black finish. Will probably wait for 3D to hit the mainstream now (if it ever does), before buying something new.

Looks like the quality on the Goodmans was a bit of a lottery. On the plus side, the ones still left running are probably the good ones, so any quality issues should be firmly in the past.

I’m taking a chance of anyone still looking here Steven, hows things, any new TV’s yet? I felt it relevant to comment that I still have my Goodmans and it’s still going strong, except it’s in my son’s bedroom as I’ve upgraded to a 47″ LG. The Goodmans developed a fault where the HDMI socket failed. This happened during a Sky HD installation when they installed all the wiring with everything powered on. Sky eventually took the blame after much pressure from me and paid me for a new TV.

As I couldn’t get the Goodmans fixed (no parts) I kept the money until I had saved more and bought the LG. Thankfully with a DVI socket on the TV I just used a HDMI to DVI converter and hooked up the audio to the inputs so I still had full HD.
Here’s the funny thing, my daughter had the same TV and dropped it, cracking the screen so what did I do? I opened it and took the circuit board containing the HDMI and put it in my set. Worked just fine.

My son is now happy he has a full HD 42″ TV for playing his Xbox. I seem to have been blinded by my new TV and excitedly game my son the Goodmans, forgetting I only had a 20″ TV in my own room, lol.

I hope people are confident in their Goodmans TV that mines is still working perfectly after nearly four years minus the Sky HD hitch!

Hi Will,

Thanks for your kind words.

Unfortunately I’m not able to add a link to your site on Carsurvey.org. Those free external links are used very sparingly for sites that might help people with questions that they can’t find answers to on Carsurvey.org. For sales sites that want to promote themselves, it’s possible to purchase advertising on the site.

Hi steven, I was just wondering if my mercedes benz car auction site (ibenz.co.uk) could be added to the external links under “Mercedes Benz” on carsurvey.org? Car survey has been invaluable to me and helped me through buying my last 2 cars – props to you

Will

Recovered all the important data, but the server needs a full rebuild. It’s going to be a long night.

Comment on Nokia 6120 classic Impressions by Speculatore

Hi All,

Thanks to everyone who contributed here. I went out and bought myself a SanDisk 8GB microSDHC Class 2 and it works perfectly with my Nokia 6120c. The guy at the store said that 8GB microSDHC was the maximum capicity supported (/ tested???) by the 6120c.

Just to be sure, I updated the phone firmware to 5.11 and backed up all phone contents prior to putting in the new memcard.

Hope this post helps some one else…

Regards,

Speculatore
