extended warranty for lcd tv[ Reply to This ] (none / 0) (#10)

I had a good experience with an extended warranty. I think. I'd never bought an extended warranty until I bought a Magnavox flat-panel tv from Sears, but in this case I did. The device failed completely within a month (well within the regular warranty period), I took it back, Sears replaced it. A month later (still within the regular warranty period) the tv could no longer sense the remote (it takes a long time to flip through a hundred channels one at a time). I made an appointment with the authorized repairman so I wouldn't have to go without. I took the tv to the shop. The tv sat on his floor for a month, then the part he had ordered came in and he fixed it. Worked fine ever since. The tv's still under the extended warranty. The extended warranty hasn't been used. I sort of had some peace of mind because of the extended warranty, but it's been reduced by your article.
