I have that Best Buy TotalCare thing cuz I knew I was about to buy 2-3 tvs and a laptop/tablet of some kind. And the price is the same no matter how many TVs or whatever you get (and the install is no more charges too).

Besides that, I’d say ‘don’t do it unless you’re REALLY scurred about the thing you’re gonna buy’.

I JUST got the C1 65” put on a wall recently. And so far so wow. I’m ready to watch some football, some more rasslin, and play some games on that thing for sure. I think I already like the settings I fiddled by way into but we’ll see!

If I didn’t have the Best Buy coverage, I might be shook about the whole oled thing…maybe!?

Otherwise, I have a 10-year old plasma in my living room and that thing is a tank. The innanet had me thinking that thing was gonna somehow be messed up any given day. And nope. We still here with it.
