My LCD 32’ TV that is about 2 years old is pretty much broke because the screen gets distorted for a while when i first turn it on. called the warranty company and they sent me to a repair shop and they told me i need a new logic board or something of that sort and that they would contact the warranty company and told me that i will probably get a new tv because the part is expensive. so i am thinking of good i dont have to deal with this annoying tv much longer. warranty company calls me and says that i have been approved for a new tv and would call me back a few days later with more information. they call back and tell me that they will only give me $350 towards a new one. so i said to them “what? you said i have been approved for a new tv and you are only going to give me $350 for it? that is how much it was to buy the extended warranty!!” I cant even buy the same size type that i have now for that much, what was the point of me getting an extended warranty? I just cant believe they are just going to give me $350 for it when i paid well over that. never again will i buy an extended warranty, it just makes not sense. [/rant] ---

I understand your frustration and thats why I don’t buy extended warranties unless I understand them inside and out. They are almost all scams. ---

A 32 inch LCD has to be pretty damn close to $350 dollars, right? ---

The $350 might be based on comparative technology. Two years ago a 32" LCD with a say 10,000:1 contrast ratio might have been $700, but you can find one now for about that $350 they are giving you. ---

> [@BigEd88](#): > > refurb cancels out brand new. Basically his existing TV with the board fixed 🙂 refurb usually is a brand new TV with a small issue easily fixed. Didn’t meet a company’s quality control standards and needed to be touched up. … so he buys a new 32" that is better than his old one and keep 50 bucks in the process. I say he’s making out. ---
