I finally dove into the HDTV pool and bought a budget LCD, as soon as I registered my set's SN# I got a flurry of emails advertising extended warranty coverage. Is it worth it past 2 years? The coverage cost is pretty steep for the initial layout. Someone told me at one service shop that they see most LCD sets come in at/around the 2 year mark - usually for a $200-250 price estimate. Is 5 years of coverage worth it? FWIW, I had a Sears LXI for 18.5 years...I LOVED that TV, great picture and 1 repair in 216.5 months.
