They don't make them like they used too !
I go with Sony for TV's nowadays. Panasonic if I could find one.
I always assumed that a warranty period was the guarantee to repair free of charge during that time period, however, last week I watched a YouTube video about consumer rights and found out that the majority of electronics companies will repair free of charge after this period if you pay for shipping. A threat of court action normally initiates this free repair.
Food for thought but then again it is Thailand !
