Check the warranty. With large sets such as the one you are talking about, there is always the issue of who will be responsible for hauling the set to the shop if it cannot be fixed inside your home. As has been referenced elsewhere, there may have been damage to the interior of the set from long periods of displaying the "hot" picture, which could certainly lead to premature service. While the warranty may protect you in terms of having the set repaired, for two years, who is going to be responsible for lugging the set to the shop? An extended warranty may be offered which may take care of the transportation issues, but then that adds to the cost of the set, possibly rendering it less of a good deal.
