Question: Is anyone buying extended warranties? Is anyone buying the extended warranty offered here from Amazon?  Is it worth it?  Can they be bought anywhere else to cover a TV bought here?

I recently purchased the Samsung HLT6187SAX 61" Slim LED Engine 1080p DLP HDTV from Amazon and am pleased to inform anyone who might be interested that this is a fine TV. My wife and I have been planning this purchase for almost a year and now that we have received the product, there are no regrets whatsoever. Our experience with Amazon in this and other purchases has always been positive, but I was a little nervous about buying something so large and (as are all electronics) delicate from a distant location.
I set up a repair for this tv with Samsung on Sunday and Monday the service tech contacted me and told me he had cosulted with Samsung and came to the conclusion that the circuit board failed and needed to be replaced. OUCH! He will get the part on Friday hopefully but I do not know when the repair will be made. What a hassle. It is still under warranty but I did not puchase the extended warranty from Amazon. That was a mistake.
In the end I went with the Samsung because I've always liked them over Mitsubishi. When it arrived at the house (I ordered through Amazon), the delivery guys brought it in and asked if I wanted it opened and put anywhere. I declined since I hadn't bought my stand yet (which I promptly left and bought). It arrived with no faults, no scratches, and no dings. Great delivery.Now I have two roommates. And one of them kept bugging me about me getting the new TV.
I assembled the stand and a friend and I placed the TV on the stand and hooked up the connections. We turned it on and it worked perfectly. What an amazing picture. I don't think you'll find a better deal anywhere else. I highly recommend this TV.
I am almost ready to buy this TV, based on everything I have seen and read. Who has bought the extented service plan, or what are general opinions on buying this plan from Amazon?thanks
And Visa offers a 4 year extended warranty that you can purchase for much less than any I have seen. But it doesn't make sense to get the extra warranty until your other one is almost expired as they would run concurrently and you would only get an extra 2 years over the manuf. and Visa warranty.Now for the actual TV... I love it!
This is what I wrote in my previous review:Bought my Samsung HL-T6187S on 9/23/2007. I was hesitant with buying such a big size and ticket item online. However, Amazon was great, for both delivery, punctuality, and price. I came from a 15 year old 32" CRT TV so this was my treat. What can I say, I hold on to my stuff until they are sooooo obsolete or broken. Eagle was great for delivering the product unscathed.
The HDTV channels are absolutely spectacular! The standard definition channels look better than ever as well. The viewing angle is terrific, looks good from almost anywhere in the room. Watching DVD's (with an upcoverting DVD player) is better than being in the movies. Will be hooking up a surround sound system in the near future as the TV sound system is good but not up to the quality of the picture. I would recommend this TV to anyone looking to purchase a very large HDTV.
I was offered a 52" LCD that sells for $300 less than my 6187 did, as Samsung does not make DLP TVs any longer and they were taking unit depreciation into account. Quite frankly, their accounting issues should not be my concern, as their TV stopped working *under warranty*. I said I would not accept their exchange, as I purchased furniture and arranged a room around a 61" screen.
Answer: Search on fleabay for extended warranties. There are many offered, and yes, they cover the product advertised - no matter where it has been bought.Hope this helps.
