Regarding extended warranty: I tend to agree somewhat with Chadnliz BUT I was recently faced with the reality of getting a quote on a big screen tv repair and it was bone chilling! I considered the extended warranty cost of $100 for three years on my new Sony big screen and decided it was worth it. That's only $33 a year for in home service and peace of mind. A service tech charges anywhere from $90 to $150 just to walk into your house and then parts are over and above the service call. Bottom line it's an insurance policy, or as Chris Rock would say "in case shit happens"
First Plasma/LCD purchase ever - a few questions..
My budget is under $1k and considering 37" - 42" sizes.
Any issues buying from Best Buy?
Any issues buying open stock/demo to save $$?
BB salesman told me I need to have the TV professionally calibrated on a regular basis. Can I DIY this process instead?
Plasma and LCD - does one require more maintenance (calibration) than the other?
And of course, the salesman wants me to buy the top-of-the-line warranty service. I've never ever bought any extended warranty on anything in my life. But is this, or any costly service contract, necessary for these TVs (plasma/lcd)?
I'd be happy to hear about your experiences related to these questions.
Thank you (in advance).
