Buying a TV- Curry's electrical

Why is it when you buy anything electrical these days, the shop assistant will ask if you want extended cover on it.
Its like saying "this product will break within 2 years"
Doesn't fill me with confidence.

It's nothing to do with the product or assumptions of it's reliability, it's about what has good margins and how much they can make off you.

LOL. Avoid Samsung in that case.

I have a SONY, love it. Parents have just bought a SONY this week, 32" smart jobbie, I set it up & am quite impressed, though I gather the Samsung has the better apps/services sewn up until the licensing runs out.

I hope people realise that very few companies actually make screens?

Samsung, LG and Panasonic make most of them.

I have a couple of 32" W653's in the bedrooms and can deffo recommend them. Not as good as my main telly a 46" Sony HX923 which is rather special, but excellent picture quality and sound quality for the price.

BTW - One of the 653's was an ex-demo shop model which worked out at half the normal price. Always worth shopping around for a bargain.
