Plasma or LCD?

The company I used to work for doing Warranty Appliance Repairs and Television Repairs was directly affiliated with Samsung. Believe me these Samsung TV's are nice looking and are rated very highly by Consumer Reports but they are very problematic as to main board failure,as are Samsung Refrigerators and Dishwashers. I have several Main boards for Samsung appliances and TV's which are dead or do not operate correctly. As one of the previous posters noted trying to get them to cover the set even one day out of warranty is impossible. That is why I would always advise if you want to get a Samsung TV, get the extended warranty. personally I like the Phillips or Toshiba LCD Sets. These are very reliable.
