Take the TV back .. you should have told him about the fade. In my opinion, there's no way that you could have 'forgotten about it' - it's very convenient to think this way, but it's also a bit weasel-like.
You've ripped the guy off.
I'd be angry too.

^ what the fuck.
If this was a client that didn't want to pay for some of your Illustrator doodles, you'd all be after his head.

Caveat Emptor
Shouldn't the guy have tested it out in fullscreen? I mean yeah you should have disclosed what you knew but it's a $100 tv for fucks sake. It's not like the tv doesn't work.
- Would you check all settings function before buying a TV? Would you trust the seller?********
- Do you hand out $100 bills to anyone who asks?********
- I would test it.. it's my money so it's my responsibility.mathinc
- Lukus I think you're blowing this out of proportion. It's a tv and when the guy uses fullscreen there is a 'fade'.. it's a used tv.mathinc
- Fuck it would have taken him 2 min to put it on fullscreen and see. Vitamins is wrong for not disclosing it, but acting like themathinc
- guy shafted some poor bloke is a bit dramatic.mathinc
- Yeah, you might be right .. but still, complaining that the guy is pissed-off seems a bit much too.********
- Yeah I agree with you. Vitamins should just refund the cash and move on.mathinc
- Would you check all settings function before buying a TV? Would you trust the seller?

The next time someone gets ripped off by a client I want to see all of the same people -- mathinc, doesnotexist, BonSeff, nicole_marie -- telling the designer its your fault, quit complaining.
You're the most spineless bunch of hypocrites.
- like if a client sells a used project on craigslist, you mean? nice analogy, jackass.BonSeff
- selling a used tv and being paid for design is not quite the same thingnicole_marie
- it's called an analogy dorks!lambsy

Buyer beware and all that, but it was a problem you knew about and when he called you on it *the next day* and you eventually agree to take it back then stand him up? The right thing to do would have been to just take it back and try to resell, but apparently you're an asshole.

@ BoneCrusher
Here's a proper client analogy...
You show the work the client, the client looks it over and approves it then pays you your money. Then the next day he calls up and says 'The image is all wrong. I want you to change it and I'm not paying you for your time.'
I mean it's not like Vitamins sold him a tv full of wood chips instead of electronics. Sure he should have disclosed it, but ffs it's a $100 tv! Vitamins.. if it's still available I'll buy it from you and mount it in my bathroom. Lord knows I need a tv in my shitter.

tell him the black fade is a custom vignette, and that the TV is a limited edition.
but do it in a really bad french accent.

Alright, this is what you do since he's french. Tell him that you'll do it this one time ONLY! However, you'll be nice and take the TV back but he'll only get half of his deposit back. And you're only doing this because he's a nice guy and because Georges St. Pierre kicks serious ass and French dressing is damn good. If he says' "But he's Canadian". Just tell him to fuck off.

I just took the tv back, I yelled at him, and then we shook hands. He texted me for a link to my sites, but I just ignored him.
