I'm getting ready to buy a KV34HS420 TV from an online retailer who doesn't offer extended warranties. I want to buy the 4 year (i just got burned by not having one) and Sony said they'd sell me one directly. I wondered if you folks have any experiences to share dealing directly through the Sony mega-conglom. Thanks in advance and happy holidays.
Warranties from trusted outside companies usually offer better coverage than manufacterers. Find someplace else that offers a warranty from a trusted company, you'll save money and get better coverage. Almost any reputable dealer will price match on the TV.
