Ok, I was told that if I don't buy my new Sony big screen TV from an "Authorized Sony Dealer", internet or locally, that Sony will not honor the One Year manufacturer’s warranty! IS THIS TRUE, or just some line that the Crutchfield sales guy was feeding me to get me to buy from them?
What’s the deal with buying from an authorized dealer? Are there advantages, disadvantages, or does it really matter?
Also, what’s everyone’s opinion on buying from either a local business, i.e. Best Buy, or from a highly reputable internet dealer? Obviously the online dealer can offer a better price, no tax, and usually free shipping, but if they're not an “Authorized Dealer”, does it really make a difference?; Especially if you buy an extended warranty through one of the extended warranty services such as Phillips?
Thanks,
Mike
