Should YOU Buy Last Year's TV Instead Of This Year's Model?
28This week we look at whether you should consider buying last year’s TV models instead of waiting for the 2024 versions and save yourself a lot of money doing so? Plus we talk about the results from the TV polls we posted on X and YouTube.
Presented by Phil Hinton with Dr. Julian Scott and Martin Dew
