Get extended warranty on Vizio?

I'm looking for a 32" LCDTV that is 1080p

Vizio makes one in that size that is 1080p and is sold
at Sam's club

Looks like I can get additional 3 year warranty from
Sam's for extra $80

Good idea to do this for a Vizio set?

I have heard that Vizio does not provide replacement parts. If true, an
extended warrantee makes sense.

For a Vizio TV? Yes, I think you'll need an extended warranty. Trouble
is, collecting on it may be problematic. Extended warranties from
retailers are often riddled with unexpected pitfalls and snafus. The
good news is I don't expect Sam's to go tits up like Circuit City did.

Couldn't you just use that $80 to buy a Samsung/Sony/Toshiba/etc.

I own a Vizio for almost 3 yrs now... no problems (knock wood).
However, $80 sounds like a good deal, I would make sure the coverage is in
home not carry-in service.

That's a good point Andy. Shipping and insurance costs being where they
are, having to cover those costs outside of a warranty could be a surprise.

well since the extended warranty is from Sam's I just
assumed I could take it back there for replacement?

No?

Why do people equate the word "warranty" with "replacement" ?? Most warranties
have a sentence with "repair or replace at our discretion" or similar included
in the warranty. For a $500+ TV, replacement is unlikely - especially after a
few months.

If you do, make sure you KEEP the box it comes in.
Vizio also sells extended warranties.
