Q. The HDTV I want is the 32" Vizio VIA XVT Razor LED LCD 1080p 120Hz HDTV. I love everything about this TV. Even the price. It's perfect for my room. I don't need anything big. Have a 50 inch TV in the living room, so I'm fine. I vaguely remember my friend telling me that when the new year starts (2012), they put all the old/current TVs on sale, to get rid of them, so they can get some new TVs on the shelves. Is this true?
A. when replacement models with new features come available, yes the older stock is usually discounted... but that manufacturer might not release a new model every 6 months, or every year...
Is the extended warranty worth it for an LCD HDTV?
Q. I just bought the 32" Vizio VIA XVT Razor LED LCD 1080p 120Hz on December 4. 2011. I have until December 2012 to decide if I wanna buy the 1 year extended warranty for it. I'm torn on this. I didn't buy a warranty for my previous HDTV, & it never gave me any problems. I got that TV when HDTVs were first coming out. It was a 26" Samsung for like $720.
The reason why I ask is because I use it a lot. I'd say roughly 10 hours a day. That's how much I used my Samsung (give or take). What do you think? These extended warranties aint cheap.
I got the TV from Sam's Club. I know the Vizio brand very well! I've known about it for years. When I first heard of them, they made budget HDTVs, but now people tell me that their TVs are very good. I read all the reviews on the TV before I bought it. I think it has a 4.6/5 rating based on 96 people. I wouldn't get it if it was lower than 4/5. I LOVE the TV. Very clear & vibrant picture.

A. I always advise TV buyers to *not* buy an extended warranty or protection plan. Statistically, anything that's going to go wrong with a relatively new TV will happen during the first year when it's covered by the manufacturer's warranty. If you buy an extended warranty for 2 or 3 years beyond that, the TV may or may not fail during that time, and if it does, the cost of repair could be less than the cost of the extended warranty. An extended warranty is a gamble, and the buyer rarely wins the bet.
By any chance, did you buy the set at Costco? If yes, Costco doubles the manufacturer's warranty at no extra charge, giving you 2 years for a Vizio.

Per your additional details: your comments about Vizio are consistent with current professional lab tests, i.e. Consumer Reports. A few years ago Vizio was widely regarded as a low-end brand. That has changed. Some of their models are now showing up on C/R top ten lists, and elsewhere. I have a 24 inch Vizio in my office, and it's as good as anything in its class.
