I generally hate extended warrantees because a lot of them are kinda flakey. But these TV's are seriously un-reliable.

I have had a couple of LCD's, bought new, and they all failed in some way. Usually capacitors, but the backlights (CCFL, not LED), get worn out easily and dim even after a few couple years. CRT's don't get this tired that quickly. And unlike a CRT, you can't just nudge the contrast up a little to get it brighter. Once the CCFL is tired, it's probably already as bright as it can go.
