BUYERS BEWARE! Makro Hi Sense TV's

I bought a 58 inch Hi Sense TV from Makro on the 8th April 2019. On the 31st May 2020 the screen died. We contacted Makro, lodged the complaint and they then sent out the repair team. Waited 7 days for repairs and tv was returned. All was fine until the 3rd August when the tv screen packed up again. I have contacted Makro and now sit and wait for the repair team to contact us to collect the tv. Apparently they will not refund / replace the tv as it is not within 6 months of purchase date . I am extremely disappointed as these tv's have a high purchase price and you would expect them to last at least 5 years and not just 13 months. Speaking to others apparently this seems to be a common occurrence with the big screen Hi Sense tv's. So here's to sitting waiting patiently and hoping this will be the final repairs BUT going forward Sansui / Samsung / LG here we come.
