My 40" Changhong Ruba got broken yesterday due to mishandling. I was extremely satisfied with it as it had been running without a single issue for the past 4 years. I kept calling the Service Center and no one responded. A local repair shop guy told me that it would cost around 22k to get the panel replaced - and that too is not confirmed, so he offered me Rs. 2500 for the set in broken condition and suggested I get a Chinese copy 40" TV set.
The Chinese one, which will cost me 19.5k in return of the broken one, sounds like a good deal. However, I have absolutely no idea about the quality of result and durability of these devices. With two kids in the house, I don't really want to invest a hefty amount on something which might get broken again.
Any suggestions or horror stories?
