If I bought a TV larger than 32", I would consider the extended warranty if the store offers it, for just this reason. (My parents bought a giant LG, 50" or 60", at Brandsmart. They bought the extended warranty. I told them they wasted their money. Until less than a year later, the converter fried. Someone came out, took it apart, ordered a converter, came back in a week, put it in, TV works fine again.)

I bought a 42" refurb Vizio in 2007 from Tiger Direct. Then I bought a 3 year extended warranty from Vizio for $150. Never had to use the warranty, though.
