Samsung Extended Warranty: Anyone purchase one of these along with their TV through Amazon??

Many hold that the extended warranties are too expensive for the coverage. I used an American Express card that doubles the warrany - that is enough for me. Most failures occur early (and the AE period is handy for those) - the ones that happen after many years, well, you can't cover those with insurance for it would be far too expensive.

Hi Tim. I recently purchased the HLT6187S and am fully satisfied with the product! To answer your question: NO, I did not get the 5 year extended warranty that was offered to me for $500. If anything is defective in the TV it should manifest itself within the first month - if not the first few days - of operation, and within that time frame, you can make your judgment call on whether you should return the item or not.anyway, for more info on warranties and such, check out this link: http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-3000_7-6398085-1.htmlhope that was of help.

Eagle "lost" my TV and Amazon has since hiked up the price on the 4665. They're offering refund but not replacement, so I've effectively lost another $500. I'm taking my money elsewhere.

I received a Samsung LN32A450 LCD today. It was listed as being an "open box" in "mint" condition. When I lifted the TV out of the box it sounded like there was gravel inside of it; not a good sign to say the least. Sure enough, it was DOA. I called Samsung Support to be safe. Amazon Customer Service was great and arranged for a pickup (at their expense) though warehouse deals cannot be exchanged; I had to start shopping all over again. There's no telling if it was already broken in the warehouse or if CEVA, a new (to USA) shipping company is to blame. For me, it was not worth trying to save $20-$50. My next purchase will be *new*.

I just got a refurb 46" Samsung LNT4669F from Amazon Warehouse deals and it is fantastic. Plus, we saved well over $600 by not buying new. You still get the Samsung 1-year warranty. If you don't like the condition of the t.v. when it's delivered, just refuse it. If you notice a problem later, call amazon and they will arrange pick-up for the defective television.

If amazon stands behind them then I guess they are ok just make sure, that amazon stands behind them or Samsung holds the warranty not some guy that just has a soldering iron and check their feedback!

Did they refund your money? Amazon has been great any time I had to deal with them but would like to know what they do about returning TV's

They come with a warranty... and you can easily buy an extended warranty for very little money... I have had no problems with my TV at all..and for the past 3 weeks it's been on for easily 14 hours a day...seven days a week! Mother in law was visiting, and she watches a LOT of tv!

I called Samsung and was told by their rep to contact Amazon and have them send me the gift certificate voucher with my order. (I just oredered the Samsung TV through Amazon a couple of days ago.) When I called Amazon, however, I was told they had no idea what I was talking about, that they have no such offer in effect. It might be possible to get the Gift certificate simply by sending your receipt and the UCC (barcode number) directly to Samsung. I think that's what I'll try to do.

Mine lasted 4 years. I shoul dof taken out a warranty on it but did not. We habe 5 TV's and they are all SamSung's and never had an issue and some are 8 years old. All bought from Amazon. The Board ?/(greenboard)?? went out on the the 32" Samsung I had. I think I just got a dud as the others are great. I did buy another 32" 720P with a warranty this time. It is doing great..

I just posted the same question - I was 1 week away from buying this TV (pay day) and suddenly it's only being sold by a 3rd party. Amazon DID begin carrying the item after your post (Oct 2007) but I wonder if this was the final runout :(

I think all of the items increased price in the Amazon. I compared the price in a week ago on the samsung TV. They increased while the other dealer not increase the price.

Yes. You should purchase an extended warranty for your new tv. I beiieve the tv comes with a one year manufacturers warranty but one should always plan for the unexpected with a major purchase. Amazon's square trade extended warranty offers some peace of mind in event of any problems. Unfortunately it doesn't offer coverage for accidental damage so keep that in mind if you have young children. It's an excellent tv with exceptional picture quality. P.S Think sound bar.

I purchased this TV from Amazon on Oct 31, since then the price has dropped significantly 3 times. Each time I have contacted Amazon customer service, and have been credited with the additional savings based on its current sale price. As of Friday, I have been refunded over $400.00 off my original sales price!The 2 pieces of advice I offer are; First purchase the TV, it it truly outstanding .. Second, contact Amazon for a sales refund the moment you notice a lower price to insure you receive the refund (if you wait a day, the price may increase again.)I hope this post helps, and I hope you enjoy your new Samsung LNT5271F 52" as much as I do!
