Phillips has begun offering television buyers a new service plan that included "lifetime technical support, next-day scheduling of in-home repairs and a simplified exchange program for those living in areas without authorized service support." The program, which is called Philips Simplicity Advantage, was designed to "bring the same level of service to consumers that is already present in Philips technology," the company said. It's available only for flat panel HDTVs 37" or larger.
Surveys have indicated that one major issue for consumers when considering electronics purchases is the level of support offered by the manufacturer.
