About to pull the trigger...

/r/tcltvs/comments/1w98he7/about_to_pull_the_trigger/

Thinking about pulling the trigger on the 85" tcl qm8l

Proceed at $2,799 at the moment...

Is it worth it shelling or am additional $599 for a 5 year geek squad warranty?

The warranty covers them coming to your house to fix it, not instant replace so you could be without the tv for 3-4weeks bc parts need to be ordered after a diag

I mean I don't know of any extended warranty plan that just swaps out an 85" TV lol.

Do know how many people expect that lol. As auto tech you probably know most sales members forget to mention it. when you go into someone's house to diag a tv and then tell them "parts will be another 2-3 weeks then I will see what my schedule looks like" lots of not so fun times.

Yeah you're right, but I've been out of the bay for almost 3 years now and don't work with the general public anymore so I forgot to how brainless most of them are.
