I guess I have been pretty luck with my plasma displays. I have three Fujitsu ()1 50" and (2) 42". One 42" is about 4 years old the other 2 are almost 3 years old. My dad also bought a Fujitsu 50" about the same time and no problem with his either. I didn't buy extended warranty.
Are extended warranties necessary on plasmas?
I was considering purchasing a 42 inch plasma last week for around $2000. The salesman strongly recommeded the extended warranty, at a cost of $500. I backed off because something seemed very wrong with a 25% markup for a warranty. The unit came with a 90 day warranty for labor and 1 year for parts. Has anyone had or seen any lemons that tanked out before the manufacturers warranty expired? Has anyone ever have a plasma repaired? If so, what was the cost?
