Better get an extended warranty.

I bought this unit from Circuit City almost a year ago. It failed a few days before the warranty was up. Circuit City sent me to place to have it fixed. That cost me $30.00 and the guy told me to call Sharp. Sharp said if I want it fixed I need to mail to IL. At my cost, Pay $120.00 flat fee to have it repaired or replace with a used one. Then they will ship it back at my cost. My total will be about $180.00 for a TV that I bought for $279.99 a year ago. The TV does have a great picture but the sound is very tinny, no bass to it at all. My wife hates the sound. If you get one of these baby’s, you can not care want it sounds like and you better get an extended warranty.
