Wonder anyone here do purchase extended warranty for their new invested Plasma/LCD/LED TV?
Could anyone explained what do SONY 2 years warranty actually meant?? I got mix response from salesman, * 2 Year warranty for part and labor * 1 Year warranty for the LCD panel only (why only 1 year even i extend to 5 Years) This post has been edited by thk38: Dec 22 2009, 04:04 PM |

QUOTE(ronnt88 @ Dec 22 2009, 04:04 PM) this basically means : Samsung offer 2 years for part and labor and even for its LCD panel, while Panasonic offer 3 years warranty on its LCD TV range (correct if i am wrong)1) They tested the other parts on the tv and they should last at least 2 yrs hence the 2 yrs warranty 2) They've tested the LCD panels and should last at least 1 yr hence the 1 yr warranty   What if 1) the back-light of the LCD TV got spoil, 2) dead pixel appear on the LCD TV, 3) can't turn on LCD TV so will SONY honor their warranty? |

QUOTE(ronnt88 @ Dec 22 2009, 04:19 PM) y don't u ask sony? Did call them up several time, but all give me different responses. They told me, once i purchase the extended warranty, it will cover the whole LCD TV including parts, labor, and panel itself. Then my friend call up and the SONY's staff told her the warranty will only cover the LCD panel for 1 year. So if anything goes wrong after that, i am on my own. And one of them told me only 1 years for LCD TV so i said "Bye bye" |

QUOTE(twL @ Dec 22 2009, 05:44 PM) 2 years ago i bought a dvd recorder(for tv use) and purchased extended warranty too, Which brand of dvd recorder u purchase, is it manufacture defect or what? Just curious, cause my cousin once drop his laptop and 1/2 the screen gone blank, but the acer service center fix it without asking (repairing factory). Lucky him. That's why i prefer to buy laptop with at least 2 year warranty.luckily i have bought it, or now i cant use my dvd recorder, now i am waiting the insurance company to approve my 'claim' and the shop will give me a new dvd recorder... i bought the dvd recorder with the price RM900+, but now they have to pay RM1000+ to repair.. |

QUOTE(fx_53_xt @ Dec 23 2009, 01:32 PM) All bravia carries 2 years warranty and hence parts and labour charge included within the 2 years, regardless of component. The only thing that the warranty doesn't cover is mishandled and natural disaster (ie water spills, damaged by fire etc) Thanks a million for ur prompt and informative responses.When you purchase extended warranty, take note there is 2 kind of warranty. 1) Insurance plan offered by shop: they called it "warranty" anyway but it is actually an insurance policy plan. Whenever your electrical appliances screwed up, you basically have to send you appliance for repair (might be a third party technician, not from the official product service centre), then the charges you have to submit a claim from the insurance company. If Insurance company gulung tikar, so does ur "warranty". 2) Sony extended warranty plan: Basically its the same as the 2 years warranty, but now optionally extended to 5 years. If you sign up this extended warranty at sony style for 5 years, they included the all risk insurance protection for you FOC. |

QUOTE(geforce1999 @ Dec 23 2009, 03:43 PM) My Philips LCD broke down after slightly 3 yrs usage and luckily I purchased 5 yrs extended warranty and I got back 40+% of purchased price back since they could not fix it. I would rather pay more for extended warranty to have a peace of mind. For those who purchases LCD/PLASMA/LED-LCD/LED TV, beware the warranty does not cover incident cause by lighting. So better for u to purchase belkin surge protection which cover lighting (look carefully on the packing which determine the maximum compensate amount). Cheer. |

QUOTE(Skylinestar @ Dec 23 2009, 04:48 PM) i bet most CRT last more than 7 years. Both my Panasonic CRT still running even after 10+ years "touch wood". Electronic gadget used to be very reliable, but now for every few month, they got new model so factory need to set "expired date" on their product. Else people won't have to buy new gadget once every 10 years. |
