You can do a Google Groups search for Sanyo tv here and get all kinds of
different responses. For a cheaper tv set they are just that. In the past
they have been pretty average for tv sets. The longer warranty and special
Wally World arrangements seems to move a lot of the Sanyo brand tv sets.

You might be just as well off simply checking with several major
manufactures and find out which ones have authorized servicers close to you.

Samsung and many cheap brands tend not to have servicers all over as they
pay much less on warranty repairs and only larger areas that are guaranteed
to see enough of them will take them on.

David,

Thanks for all the time it took to write that detail.

Living in a small, rural town makes local buying choices limited. I'll
be driving ~200 mi round trip to return the Samsung.

Any thoughts on Sanyo? They have some kind of warranty deal worked out
with WallyWorld that no other manufacturer does: longer exchange and
labor warranies and service through the store. Living far from the
big city makes that start looking more attractive considering the
Samsung experience.
