hootabius,

You can purchase an extended warranty through Samsung. Though, we usually recommend working with the retailers you brought your television from (for convenience sake, of course!), in the event that's not feasable, we do have a service at 1-866-309-9907.

I don't have pricing, or details, but they will. I do know the warranty has to be purchased within a certain timeframe.

I understand that Square-Trade (Fair Trade? Something like that) worked in some cases with online purchases, but maybe someone else can speak better on that then I could.

We don't send out warranty expiration notices - in fact, the only one I've ever received personally was from the retailer I bought it at wanting more money from my then outdated 5-year-old camcorder. (I declined, and two months later... well, you guys know the rest). Happy

I hope that helps, and welcome to the forum!
