Hiya,
Our plasma tv was damaged last night (2 yr old hit it!), and is now cracked and from what I see on the web they are not economically feasible to repair.
The insurance co says that someone will call Monday to arrange to inspect the TV and they mentioned that they'll either repair or replace.
Now I gues the repair option is going to work out more expensive than a new one (same model is now around 500, we paid 999 3 yrs ago)
When they say replace, I presume they send you a cheque for the value.
My questions if anyone has had this experience before:
Does replace mean financially or can they dig out another TV and expect us to accept it?
Are items like this treated like a car, i.e. although we paid 999 for it, the replacement balue is now around 500 so the insurance will only pay out 500 minus the excess?
