    I can’t imagine wanting to rent a TV. If you are that strapped for money, you need to be looking at cheaper TVs. They aren’t hard to find used…

    This seems like a terrible deal unless it’s more of an edge case (you know you are going to be living in the UK for say 3-6 months).

    I am assuming UK banks offer interest-free payment plans for more pricey electronics if you have stable income of a certain level, or is it credit cards only?

      At that point you would still be better off buying a smaller or a used TV and just leaving it by the curb when you’re done.

        Depends on what you want I’d say. If you want a really nice OLED for a few months, youre not getting that back on resale, and youre unlikely to find one in good condition at a low price.

        This seems the only fit that would make sense, which has to be a remarkably small market.

        If its a price thing, then yeah, a thrift store TV is the answer. Even a cheap new TV would be better.
