Always thought that way until I bought a $1500 sound bar from Best Buy. The sound bar died after 16 months. Best Buy said they could not fix it but could ship it back to Sony. I called Sony and they said by the time I paid for shipping both ways, and the cost to look at it and repair it, the cost would not be worth it. Several months later I bought a new Samsung TV from Best Buy and about two years after I bought it the screen started to die. I did buy the extended warranty and Best Buy replaced the TV immediately. What I was told by a Geek Squad employee, is that we live in the age of disposable electronics and no one wants to repair them. I believe him.
