I got offered to buy Panasonic TH-65MX950K <RM6k

The guy also recommend me to opt for extended warranty, current is 2 years extend to 5 years from Panasonic at RM1370 for this bundle (originally RM1955)

This is mini LED TV, do you think the extended warranty worth it?

NO.. if a TV cant last more than 2 years.. means quality is very bad from the beginning..

i have dell monitors that have no problems for 5 years and i run them 10 hours a day gaming and surfing /k/

My current Sharp 40" standard model lasted me 8 years too, that I did not buy extended because it cost just RM888 when I bought, many ppl consider this miracle.

But this mini LED is close to 6k and they said TV panel have problem easily within 5 years.

This current model is 2023 model, so don't have any history to benchmark how long it can last since TV industry itself life cycle pretty short.

I will buy last 2-3 years model TV because their price is very beautiful ~
within 5 years if broken then change again.
my current LG 49" smart TV still working fine with 7Y with RM2k during 2018.

if it's samsung, i would tell you to definitely get it...you will need it

other brands depends on you....if you think after this fail, u wanna buy something else thn don't get it
if you still want to use back panasonic thn get it because they're not gonna repair it, they're gonna replace you with another panasonic TV

I would say it's worth it

Are you selling ur old TV?

Unlikely, I would just keep it in my house for other use like bedroom etc.

A bit dilemma, I choose Panasonic because higher chance to be more reliable, and I got disturbed by this extended warranty thing now which contradict to my initial plan to have a reliable TV.

They say because I am not gettiing the entry level, this is a mid range mini-led worth about 6k-7k therefore they said is reasonable for me to opt for this extended warranty.

Otherwise it will be 2 years warranty with parts replacement.

depends how much is the warranty
if the warranty cost like a brand new xiaomi TV...thn don't bother

TV price close to 6k
Warranty extension to 5 years RM1370 from Panasonic, it is a bundle offer, originally RM1950

For me , i will buy a new TV after 3 years or 4 years

If very expensive TV like 75", 85" and above, then i will buy extend warranty. It's because it's expensive. I can't afford to buy a new TV with expensive price in 4 years time.

Like for my situation RM6k TV, top up RM1370 for extended warranty, would u consider this making sense?

RM1370 i can buy myself a brand new TV

i thought few hundred ringgit only

ayam got sharp tv before lasted 9 years. after sharp dieded, ayam get xiaomi and last 1 year 8 months only. lucky xiaomi warranty is 2 years, so ayam got a brand new xiaomi tv but warranty follow the old xiaomi

life span of tv usually around 5 years .... i extend mine too . 2+3 by harvey norman.

I keep minimum insurance coverage, Currently is 2+1 and if 2+2 warranty is cheaper right?

How much is the extended warranty cost?

the tv 4297 - LG 65 QNED UHD , extend warranty +3y RM796.

My SONY BRAVIA I bought extended warranty +3 years (total5). It rosak on 4 years 9 months or 11 months or so). Worth it for me.
They pay me the repair cost and i bought a new Sony Model
