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.

Samsung 64inch plasma vs samsung 60inch LED TV?
Q. Cant decide on which TV to get:
http://www.harveynorman.com.au/samsung-64-series-8-full-hd-plasma-tv.html
Or
http://www.thegoodguys.com.au/cannington/Samsung_60%22_152cm_full_HD_LED_LCD_100Hz_3D_TV_UA60ES6500M
Will be the main family TV in a 60 square meter room with quite a bit of direct sunlight into the room, it will also inside an alcove.
We watch a lot of sports (soccer, F1, AFL and basketball mainly), movies and standard televison.
The plasma is a series 8 model which is the 2012 model while the LED is the 2011 model.
Please help
Cheers
Thanks
We currently sit about 3.5/4 meters away depending if the chairs are reclined so hopefully its just far enough.
Also which would have the better picture quality?
With blinds shut or at night would the plasma be a better choice?

A. A Display
First, you’ll need a 3D-ready display–whether it’s a 3D HDTV, 3D projector, or 3D computer monitor. These displays have more processing power than standard 2D models for displaying 3D images in rapid succession.
A Source
Your display may be ready for 3D playback, but you’ll still need a device to read 3D content. This can be a cable box with a subscription to a 3D channel, a 3D Blu-ray Disc player, or a PlayStation 3 system.
3D Content
3D content–the actual entertainment, in other words–will be played back using the source mentioned above, whether it’s a 3D broadcast from your cable provider, a 3D Blu-ray Disc, or a 3D video game.
3D Glasses
For now, the vast majority of 3D HDTVs require glasses for 3D viewing. Many use powered “active shutter” glasses, others polarized “passive” glasses. You’ll need one pair per viewer, and they’ll have to be compatible with your display, whether they’re the same brand, or a pair of “universal” glasses designed to work across brands.
HDMI Cable
To connect your source (such as a 3D Blu-ray Disc player) to your display, you’ll need a high-speed HDMI cable. Cables with this designation feature bandwidth speeds up to 10.2 Gbps (gigabits per second), for carrying the 3D signal without any loss of quality.
