    Morning all

    Hope I'm not breaching forum rules...but I did originally come in here to investigate replacement LCD TVs. Seems like I've found what I'm looking for
    Samsung 48" Smart LED TV | UE48H6400AKXXU. Best within my price range by all accounts. HN sold out..but PowerCity have them at same price.

    Anyway...my question relates to the TV it's replacing. Its a JVC 30" InteriArt...older CRT style so a bit of an animal size-wise...and not Saorview obviously. It is working perfectly however...and in everyday use. It is our family TV at the moment. Do people just hand them back for recycling ?. I'd much prefer to donate to a charity...as it's working fine. Would be ideal in a shared living room or something. Any thoughts anyone ?. I have tried to search for Charities and Donations etc...but can't find anything obvious. I'm sure I'm not the first person buying a new flatscreen to have this issue !.

    Many thanks,
    K

    Put it up on Jumbletown or the freebie section of adverts.ie or whatever. Somebody somewhere might be glad of it.

    Yeah, put it on Adverts.ie as a freebie. People that are into old games consoles prefer CRT TVs because the graphics are better. Someone will take it off your hands.

    It'll be a struggle, charity shops won't even take them

    If nobody takes it from the freebies section then another option is drop it off at some recycling yard if you live near one

    OP, if you live on the southside you should drop it off at Ballyogan recycling centre. A few years ago you might have gotten a nursing home or youth club to take it but they're just too big and consume too much juice so nobody wants them any more.

    If he's gonna dump it, then Power City would have to take it off him if he buys his new telly there.

    Those JVC 32" (it is 32 and not 30, as CRT measurements included measuring the part of tube that wasn't viewable) InteriArt TV's were great in their time, though not many want big CRT's anymore even though you never know.
