If you're eligible(*), Costco in Avonmouth is where I would go.

My parents just bought a very nice Samsung 32" LCD for about £60 less  
than "internet price", and about £200 less than John Lewis.  The nice  
thing is, it's got a 3 year warranty from Samsung, and a LIFETIME  
guarantee from Costco, as long as you remain a member.

The terms of that guarantee are pretty liberal too: verging on being  
"insurance".  I've heard of people taking back their TVs after as much  
as nine months because "they didn't like it", and then buying the new  
model.

Check with them first w.r.t what's covered though.  I must admit I was  
fairly sceptical, as the guarantee just seemed too damn good.
