So I bought a T.V. less than three years ago from circuit city

[polarmystery]

Is there any way I can get this money back from the warranty or a new T.V. or am I S.O.L. ??

That was going to be my question. The warranties are handled by a 3rd party and are still valid.

One month left, you can't be serious.

Actually, 8 days.

You paid CC for the warranty, so I guess you could get in line with the rest of the creditors. Let's see, you'd be ... umm ... dead last.

Edit: Apology below.

It's a DLP which has some rediculous bowing in 4:3 mode. It's gotten worse over the years and supposedly the manufacturing allowable bowing is 1/4" and now it's like 4". It looks like someone is pushing my TV from both sides inwards

I apologize for my comments. I didn't realize there was something wrong with the TV. Contact the warranty people. Obviously, you'd want to do it soon.

No worries. I always seem to have a gray cloud over my head and something bad always seems to happen to me like every day. The other day I found a nail in my tire when I woke up and the day before that my vacuum that I ordered was misdelivered to the wrong address. :-(

You have had this problem for years (it didn't go from 1/4" to 4" over night, right?), knew CC's problems, and waited until now to act on it?

Sorry, Charlie.

Nail in your tire isn't so bad. I've had a screw in one of my tires for like 6 months already...lol

They are still honoring warranties thru a 3rd party, but why did you wait so long to deal with this issue?

Before you may have been able to just swap it out for a new TV, now you are going to have to probably deal w/ some crappy repair process.

You would get a pro-rated amount back on the warranty, which by this point would be almost nothing. Swap out? No. Fixed - maybe if you get your claim in in time

Also, is your TV a samsung? They had a design problem in some of their DLP TVs which caused excessive bowing (IIRC, the top support for the screen isn't strong enough to support its own weight, sagging inwards and pushing the screen out.)

Samsung extended their manufacturers warranty for this problem (I dont know how long they extended it though so you might still be out of luck there)
