I paid 2300 for a 40inch sony bravia with motion flow(pwns every tv on the market)

I bought the warranty

I always pay for the extended,usually 3 to 5 year.I have a Hitachi lcd and the lamp went out,350 to fix without warranty.They say the lamp usually goes at about 14 months.Well worth the 90 cash.

Some new DLPs have an LED light engine instead of the color wheel thing.

They are rated to run for 8 years, continuously.

Mitsubishi is coming out with a Laser DLP too, should be interesting to see.

I have heard about DLP. Perhaps I'll buy a bigger tv for the living room when they are common. Right now this is just for the bedroom; a 46" SAMSUNG LN46A550 1080p LCD HDTV or maybe the LN46A650. That one has higher contrast, PiP and 120hz.

Good choice on the samsung. The ex and I bought a 40" Samsung LCD. Picture was awesome.

Just a word of warning - the colors are almost "cartoon-like" with the factory settings.

Check out AVS forum for you model - people will post their settings which seem the most lifelike. I followed someone's advice and settings and the picture just blew me away.

I'm about to buy a 46" tv and I'm thinking about getting a one year extended warranty, just to have the puppy serviced at home. It's $60 for one year; $90 for two.

What's the EF verdict on warranties for tv's? I always turn them down for computer stuff cuz I'm pretty savvy there.

Yeah get it... worth it. I mean like I didn't get the apple 259 extended plan, but thinking maybe I should.
For a TV, u definitely should get it.
