insurance on the new HDTV opinions pls
« on: November 18, 2012, 03:00:25 PM »
my old tv went out two weeks ago so i got a wicked deal on an open box tv at best buy (50 in lcd 1080p 60hz $442 out the door) they offered my the best buy insurance plan for an extra cost i think it was 50 bucks for 3 years i said no at first and they said if i change my mind i have 30 days to go back and get the insurance. i always get the best buy insurance on stereos that i buy my buddies said that on a tv its not worth it to get it. it does have a 1 yr manufacturers warranty but that meas that i would have to ship it some were and wait were as the in store insurance is delt with in the best buy which is only 15 mins from my house what is your opinions even 50 bucks for a few years of peace of mind wouldn't hurt.

I work for best buy geeksquad, get the warranty. The mfg warranty does not cover shit. If we can't fix it you get a new tv and a tv that size we come to your house, you don't need to bring it to the store.

At my store the only tv's we see returned a lot are LG and Westinghouse for defects. Otherwise if someone is returning a t.v. It's because they realized they couldn't afford it at that time.

Only other common issues is people buying an HD tv and not having an hd source. The hd tv will show you how crappy the source is. And built in tv speakers are not super loud.

warranties are usually more trouble than they're worth.  especially anything from best buy.  by the time they try to deny your claim for ANY possible reason... you will wish you had just bought it on amazon for cheaper.  have you ever read reviews on best buy customer support, or geeksquad?  its *TERRIBLE*

(brand doesnt matter anyways, like anything else electronic it has like 15819513 things inside of it that could go wrong at a moments notice... like when people argue about what hard drive is better..  :screwy:)

in 3 years when it dies jusy buy another one thats twice as big and has 5x more features. 

no warranty on any of my tv's, all samsung.
