15:54.23DocScrutinizer05wow, german "dealer legal warranty" (repair/replace free of charge) shall get extended from 6 months to 2 years, and even 5 years for supposedly long lifespan items
15:54.47DocScrutinizer05this is a HUGE thing in my book
15:55.54DocScrutinizer05right now it's 2 years already, but after 6 months customer has to prove that the defect was already in place at time of purchase
15:56.47DocScrutinizer05now planned: customer never has to prove such thing and dealer has to repair stuff for free, for a 2 or even 5 year timespan
15:58.24DocScrutinizer05I'm just afraid that this will create an incentive for dealers to go out of business after maybe one year and start a new similar business
15:59.33DocScrutinizer05in which case customers are screwed
16:02.15DocScrutinizer05I guess not a single TV nowadays would qualify for getting sold under the extended expectable lifespan terms, IOW dealers would have to calculate with 90 to 100% of sold TVs returning for repair/replacement during 5 years
16:03.37DocScrutinizer05this will change business a lot, right up to the manufacturers
