If you buy an extended warranty (CR does not recommend) but it cheaper and B&H; camera. B&H; stands behind their warrenties. Better yet, don't buy one at all. Many credit cards double the length of your purchase for no charge at all.

Any time I buy electronics I use American Express since it will extend the warranty for 1 year at no cost.

My other Samsung was fine until the day I resold it. Didn't have a warranty. I think these TVs typically have problems early on or very late in their lives -- in other words, while they're covered by the Manufacturer's warranty, or long after they're no longer covered by any warranty. That said, if you have the money to spare and have had bad luck with electronics in the past, consider a warranty.

What ever you do make sure that you buy the extended warranty. Mine was serviced under the manufacturer warranty, and it has never been the same, and samsung will not stand behind their mess up.

Yes unless the other company you purchase the item from also offers it , they might not, then again you might not need the extended warranty, most units lasts beyond extended warranty.

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!

According to a "major consumer research agency", 68% of flat panel TVs that have had problems requiring repairs had the problem within the 1st year, when they were typically under warranty. They don't recommend extended warranties on most LCD TVs for that reason.

Amazon doesn't offer warranty, you need to get one from another provider. I do believe that the TV comes with 1 year from Lg company.

I haven't had a problem where I needed to use the warranty. Mine works very well.

Called Samsung but they weren't helpful....without an extended warranty, I'm out of luck. Only bright spot: It hasn't gotten worse. Now we're in the habit of turning on the TV, leaving for half an hour, and then coming back to it. It usually resolves by then...usually. But it's a big pain. Definitely never buying another Samsung. Let me know if you hear anything.

its the same as buying any kind of insurance. if you can afford to pay a local shop 250-300 to fix anything that breaks at any given moment should something go wrong then no dont buy the extended warranty. if this is a large purchase for you - and coming up with 300 would be difficult - go ahead and get the plan. the last thing you would want to invest a lot in the tv, have something break, and not be able to afford to fix it. -CD

Patrick has it right. I bought a Sony SDR rear projection unit about two years ago. Normally I never buy service contracts/extended warranties, but I figured that any repair might be very expensive, so I opted for the the extended warranty. Long story short, a major component of the tv failed and Sony abandoned the technology altogether. After replacement part was delayed, Circuit City warranty offered to replace my tv with dollar for dollar on the original purchase price. I upgraded to a Sony LCD and will hopefully live happily ever after. Still, I'm awfully glad I had the extended warranty.

I had the same thing happen to my Samsung LN40A650 40-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV. THANK GOD, I have 6 days of warranty left. I have got the run around from Samsung reps. After a weeks worth of phone calls, I was assured that I will get my TV worked on under warranty. May be that this model is faulty. They should give us a hassle when we shell out mega bucks for these TVs, then they may would learn a bit of respect for the customer.

If you are talking about warranty on the replacement chip, it is through ShopJimmy as discussed in another question. If you are talking about getting an out-of-warranty extension on the TV to a repair you do yourself or have a 3rd party do, I agree with the "Good luck" response. In that case you should approach your TV manufacturer first to see if they will do any accommodation for you....I didn't try as I had so many years of good service from my Samsung that I had no issues with just replacing the chip myself and getting a few more years out of it before swapping with a new 4K flat panel.

Bryan,You might want to check this site: www.dtvexpress.com. They offer extended warranties of both 3 and 5 year plans. I haven't had any experience with them, just spotted their ad on another site. There are probably others too. Just type in "extended tv warranty services" in the Google search bar. Good luck!

We've had ours over a year with no problems and did not purchase warranty. I know Consumer Reports said that new TVs usually last well past their original warranty and don't recommendpurchasing additional insurance.
