I do think that the snag is as you have said, the Chinese have abysmal back up for discontinued models, why do you think so many TV and Radio service repair shops have gone....... it the old story..... I told you so. Try to get service info on a Chinese LCD/LED TV or any spare parts.
One reason that after 1 day after the guarantee is out many outlets refuse service. The snag is if you buy a unit from a non UK seller you are basically stuffed, buy it here then you have protection with SOGA https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1979/54
This also explains about ownership of goods as well.
So its really up to the buyer, after a year and a £400 unit could be unrepairable.

Also look here as well... http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/...ntents/enacted

Sean is a non uk seller , he lives in Canada? He's definitely not based in the UK himself
