Do most TV repair places work on these monsters? Is it very expensive? I'm thinking of buying one but am afraid the thing will die on me and I won't have any place to take it for repair or it will cost a fortune. What do people with the REALLY big TVs do? You need an army to lift them and a big truck to transport them!

Where do you go to get a large Plasma or LCD TV repaired?

For TVs 42" and over most warranties offer on-site service and they will only take it away if they can't swap out parts.
Parts can be very expensive: the "light engine" for a DLP set can be $1,000 - $2,000, it's most of the cost of the set. So for a TV over $2,000 you probably should spend the $300 for a 5-year extended warranty.
For one under $2,000 you might just pay with a platinum CC that offers warranty doubling if you can, and cross your fingers that 2 years of warranty is enough.

It is NOT cost-effective to repair an LCD or plasma display.
They have been brought down to the consumer level and its easier to buy a new one or have it replaced.
As plenty of people already offered the advice of checking your warranty I dont think I have to repeat it.
