How good of a TV VX37L - 37” LCD HDTV

if i buy this tv and it is refurbished should i buy and extended warranty? I comes with a 3 month warranty for free but a year warranty is $106 and a 2 year is $146. Should i pay the extra for a warranty or do you think that i would be ok with the free 3 month one?

I have the 50" Plasma. It's nice for the price...enough for me. When I am super rich is the only time I'll pay 6 grand plus for a phillips or whatever.

Don't bother ...
Do you think there's a 1-in-6 or 1-in-4 chance of it failing ? Probably not ... Most TV models have less than a 10% (1-in-10) failure rate in a 3-year time span.

Not to mention that this is a fairly new technology (at least to the mainstream market) that is improving greatly with each passing generation AND the technology is getting cheaper to produce with each passing generation.

So, to answer your question, I think it's stupid to buy a warranty that expensive on a TV that cheap, especially considering you could buy a TV of similar quality for ~$400 next year ...

Good points and I am gonna have to agree.
