TV Warrenty

I have just bought a Goodmans 32" LCD TV, from Sainsburies. I bought it without a warrenty. I have been advised by a friend, to get a 4 year warrenty. So without getting ripped off by the usual Curry's priced warrenties, can anyone advise where to get a good priced warrenty from?
Thanks:beer:

    I really don't think it's worth spending the money, LCD's are very reliable

    Besides which you don't actually get anything from a warranty unless you specifically ask for it to cover accidental damage and that's more insurance than warranty. Any kind of fault will be covered by your consumer rights anyway.

    If something electrical is working a month after you buy it it's pretty much guaranteed to go on for a few years with no problems, personally I wouldn't waste your money, extended warranties are the biggest waste of money.
