LCD TV - Are they reliable ?


Should I get the extend warranty ?

I heard that most of the major brands will have problem within 3 years ! Is it true ?

I'm want to buy the latest Sharp(top model) or Samsung(series 7) LCD TV(52in.). Which one is better in picture quality ? Which one is more reliable ?

Of all the brands and technologies we sell, we've have had less issues with plasmas over the years. I have nothing against LCD's personally, I'm just trying to give you a real life report from someone who is in the industry selling them.

A good source of information can be found over at www.avsforum.com on the various technologies.

As good as the Samsungs are, I'll be honest with you. I would say the failure rate in the first year is 3 out of 10. Compare that to the Panasonic and Pioneers, which have had 0 issues the last year.
