My dad was a German WWII refugee who worked as the "TV shop" electronics serviceman at my home town Sears for thirty years, from 1958-87. He had integrity and was excellent at what he did; he could repair as many as 12 TVs a day. It was a thrill as a kid to go visit his shop. He won internal Sears contests for best shop; as a largely one-man operation he topped shops with as many as five guys. If he were still here, his advice to you would be: Never buy a maintenance agreement.
@DesiluTrek. I'm sure you're father was talented, however I purchased a Samsung 40inch LED from Sears last year and bought their 3 year protection. I had a massive power surge throughout my home this years, and Sears covered it 100% and I got a brand new TV. I also get a free in-home check up ever year. Are you joking? TVs in his day were made with 3 or 4 components....now they have hundreds of circuitry, computer parts, and processors that cost hundreds to replace if they go out.

I wish commercial music was still this hip(a little cheesy, yeah, but still pretty cool).
Man, how depressing when the highlight of your life is going to Sears.
