  I'm not sure on durabrand but its anything like the 28" Widescreen Pacific TVs then it won't last long. We had a pacific which we got about 4/5 years ago now and it stopped working after a year. The really strange thing was that once our model of TV had sold out we never saw it in there again until a year after when ours went wrong it seemed to be that asda knew it was going to happen. Anyway we got a replacement of the same model and this went wrong within a year as well then we got it replaced with a bush which lasted 15mins before the tuner went. In the end we got a refund and got a samsung from john lewis which has been excellent.

  I got a Durabrand portable tv/dvd combo.
  
  Quality was pretty rubbish. Pic/sound quality was poor and it fell to bits within 6 months. Took it back and got a refund. Not impressed.

  My old Pacific lasted three years before it went wrong (but I still had a three year guarantee at that time), and it's Durabrand replacement has been absolutely fine.

  Durabrand is just a badge, it will be made by some other oufit.
  
  At that money, it aint worth worrying over....
  
  It has to good be good value if it only lasts a years warranty time.

  most faults in TVs end up being simple faults.
  
  The switch on my 6 year old Goodmans was the culprit on mine (went up in smoke due to a looose joint.)
  A DIY job with a soldering iron thankfully.
  
  Seems most sets, Philips Sony incuded have fault traits.

  Durabrand are the same as Beko. Insider info. Not fantastic but what do you expect for the price? You can't go wrong if its just a bedroom TV or a temporary set, or of course, you just arent bothered! LOL!

  Thats exactly what i thought when I bought our one.
  
  When I got rid of it when it broke down three months later I just spent the extra tenner and got a better TV.
