costco has a great warranty too they give you a 2nd yr for free on all tvs, i bought one about 3yrs ago last yr just b4 the warranty was up it got lines cross the screen. called them up and guess they couldnt get the part to fix it, so they said they would replace it with a new tv or give me a refund for what i paid for it. in 2 yrs the prices had dropped alot so i took the money bought a new tv and used the few hundred i saved and had some fun.
