Notes:

As with any product purchase, I stand by this conviction:  if a manufacturer offers a "great" warranty, it means they stand by the product's quality.  If, however, you find a good deal on an HDTV that only has a one-year warranty, I'd let the deal pass and find something with a more impressive warranty.  A lousy warranty tells me that they expect it to fail, and don't want to lose money on offering free service.

Note that the username you use in Joomla! for your administrator account can be anything (just a user account that has back-end admin access); I just happen to be using the default "admin" in my demonstration setup.
