Hi,
I'm about to upgrade our 5 year old 26" Sony Wega CRT by purchasing
an LCD TV, probably 40" - 46". I've been loking mostly at Sony and
Samsung.
What's the general reliability/repairability of LCD TVs, particularly
these brands.
These sets come only with a 1 year warranty. Does it make sense to
spend $250 for a 3 year extended warranty considering the sets
themselves are priced at $1600 - $2000.
Al Moodie.
Above 32", plasma generally looks better than LCD, plus has a wider
viewing angle.
Consumer Reports used to recommend getting the extended warranty on
LCD TV's because of the cost of backlight replacement, but now
recommends against it - in 3-5 years, you can buy a new TV for just a
little more than the extanded warranty. As usual, they made that
change just after we bought a new 26" Sharp with warranty....
