If we had purchased the warranty, Best Buy would have replaced it with much less hassle.
My 75" Samsung died last year, just two years after buying it at Best Buy. I bought the Geek Squad Warranty at that time, why buy it in advance when you can buy it when you need it. It was $199 for a year and they came out and diagnosed the problem. It needed a $200 power board. I think that will be last Samsung I ever buy, my 2012 Vizio 65" in the bedroom is still going strong. If the Samsung goes out again, I saw a new LG 75" TV last week for $799. In 2017 and 2018 we bought new stainless steel LG washer & dryer, refrigerator, stove, microwave and dishwasher from Best Buy and they all work great!
