Replaced

3 weeks ago, we went to Courts to look for a kettle but ended up bringing a kettle and a tv home.

Panasonic Viera 32-inch LCD tv @ $699 + 3 years warranty.

The one we bought when we first moved in was a Korean brand that is not known for TV (no, not Samsung or LG). Chose that because it's the cheapest at that time for a 30-inch... @ S$1,799. Of course the resolution was not high, its sound effect was good though... even better than Panasonic's. And we loved the appearance as it matched our concept of decor.

It broke down for the first (&, so far, only) time a year ago. Only then we're glad we opted for the extended warranty that has just expired yesterday. Sold the tv to Cash Converter for $150... so in a way we only got the new one at $500.

Recently, TVs are cheap so it's a good time to get if you need. Eg. 42-inch LCDs (Sharp/Panasonic ...) only going for $1,000 - $1,300. But we're not greedy, for now we're happy with 32' ;)
