Bought a Toshiba HDTV in 2003 along with a warranty. Immediately I noticed a discoloration expanding from the corner. I called about a month later and had a tv tech guy visit. He took the screen off the (2 pieces) and he noticed a film build up that was spreading. Anyway he said it would $400 to replace. BESTBUY denied it because they said I caused it. I tried to obtain a pro-rated refund, but, they denied that too since I did not have the little BESTBUY folder they put the receipts in. Never mind that I had the receipt proving the purchase of the extended warranty. I've logged complaints with the Ohio Attorney General and BBB and all I got was a coupon. have not shopped at BESTBUY in over 4 years. the BEST scam warranty you can BUY.

I only have one DVI hookup for my TV & have a receiver & a PS3 that have to swap from the back of the TV when I a want to use each one of them. Do they make a splitter or something where I could hook both up to a switch or something so I wouldn't have to keep switching the DVI at the back of the TV

I need watch batteries for three different watches. Why is it so hard to find information on the internet as to what battery I need to pick up? I can replace it myself if I knew what size to buy.

I want to buy a really good surge protector, but I need it for my dorm room. This means that I'll need to plug in a laptop, fridge, microwave, LCD TV and misc. stuff in it. Which one would be best?

At the store they recommended a monster surge protector for my TV, but didn't say anything about the laptop. It almost seemed as though monster was for audio and video, but not for laptops and fridges?

I hope to spend $50.00 or less, but I honestly just want the best way to protect all of my equipment. It was expensive, and it's worth it to save it. Thanks for your answers!

I am looking for pros and cons of each satellite tv provider.
Best service, HD programming, price, selection of channels, NFL and NASCAR coverage, any and all opionions will help. I had DirecTV before and want to know if I should go back to them or try Dish Network. Do you still need a phone line? Which does the weather effect more? Do they all still have a contract of 12 months? DVR and HD receiver differences,etc, etc etc. Thanks for your help.

As you may or may not know, when Spiderman 3 and The Bourne Ultimatum come out on dvd, Spiderman 3 will only be on blu-ray and Bourne will only be on hd dvd.

Which format will or have you chosen and which format will win out out in the end ? Right now I'm leaning toward blu-ray !

I tried a One For All URC-3220 which "guarantees" to work with everything but my Dish PVR 501 wont respond to any of the codes they suggest ( 0775, 1005, 1505, 1775 )

Anyone know the code or have a universal remote that they know works ?

i have a JVC LCD 32" TV which is now about 4 years old and a couple of days ago when i turned it on i could only hear the sound but no picture.
when i go to menu and reset the tv the picture will come back on and everything will be fine, but when i switch the tv to standby or off at the wall,the next time i use the tv the same things happens again.
I have gone through this process 4 times so far with the same results.(warrenty has now expired)

I have contacted JVC and they agree it is only a small problem but my nearest JVC engineer is 50 miles away and wants £60 call out charge with a further £60 for estimate that,s taken off should i agree to the repair.

i,m asking if anyone knows what the problem is, and will it be viable for me to purchase the part required and fit it myself. I am more than capable of soldering on a chip or replacing the part.
(thanks to all that answer)
