Questions shoppers ask

Which brand of TVs has the best warranty?

On paper, Mount-It! scores highest, with no full coverage but some parts covered to lifetime. Hisense covers everything longest, at 2 years.

Is a long warranty on TVs really that long?

Often not for the whole product. Many longer warranties cover only certain parts after the first year or two, and you usually pay for the labor. The bars above show full and partial coverage separately.

Do I need to register to get the warranty?

1 of 14 brands require registration for some of their coverage, often within a set number of days. Keep your receipt either way.
