Wards has been out of business well over five years, so where are you buying a new Admiral TV?

I said I bought a new Protron tv, not Admiral, shit for brains. I was just saying that all of those brands, including JVC and Toshiba, were made for them by Orion, a brand that a reputation for making shit.

Sigh, why do all the biggest loons hit USENET during the Holidays? YOU compared it to a brand that is no longer made, not me. Who is to say would be the company making the Admitral brand if it was still around?

If you paid a price you were comfortable with to insure yourself against the risk of a catastrophic failure in the 3 years that you got past what you would have witht he factory warranty and whay you could get for free with the right credit card, you did not get conned. If, on the other hand, you were sod something different than you thought you were buying, were told that the probablility was that you would need the warranty, or paid more than you wanted to spend, they you may have been conned. The fact is that it is only in rare circumstances that extended warranties are a smart purchase. They are insurance against risk, and if you feel better about having that then you should buy it. However, it should be understood that the vast majority of extended warranties are never used for a number of reasons, that many do not cover what the customer expects they comver, and they are typically far more profitable for the dealer than the set that they go with. There is a reason that they are profitable. The economics are easy to figure out and are not much different than casinos and lotteries, only more profitable than the former.

Smart consumers can make use of EWs sometimes and come out OK, but you have to understand the product, the warranty, the market, and the risk very clearly. For the vast majority, it is, indeed, largely a con.

All of you need to realize that the name glued on the product does not always mean its made by that maker .

I have worked on hundreds of new store returned electronics over the last 7 years including the LCD sets that started showing up in the last

3? years . After the back comes off the truth is revealed when you start seeing samsung displays and IC chips , etc. etc. .. spread all over inside Somy and Pamasonic products . Many of your small lower priced tv sets are made by many of those cheap makers only to have a well known familiar name brand tag on the front of it . On the other hand i have seen high quality Sharp LCD display screens inside some cheap video products .

All your screaming , swearing and other high pitched noises are all because you are generally unhappy and has nothing to do with electronic products brand names .

On an interesting note ( to me anyway ) as call on other repair businesses around here sometimes looking for possible warranty for somy on products under 1 year old they all turn it down because somy wont pay out enough to interest any of them . I have no trouble with other brands .

Curious about the pricing you mentioned, I took a look at their website and found this:

$1050 for a 42" LCD! I wonder what the picture quality is like...
