I'm thinking about purchasing the Philips Evnia OLED 27M2N8500/00, which is priced at $700 for a 3-year warranty or $900 for a 6-year warranty. I'm trying to decide if spending an extra $200 for an additional 3 years of warranty coverage is worth it. One thing to consider is that if the monitor breaks, I'll get a brand-new one after 6 years, and even if it doesn't break, I could purposely damage a pixel to claim a replacement. This could give me around 9 to 12 years of good use from the same model, and since I just built a powerful gaming setup, I don't plan to upgrade my PC for at least the next decade. What do you all think?

Paying an extra $200 just seems like a ticket to getting my claim denied down the line. I wouldn't count on it being worth it in the long run.
Honestly, I would say no. I feel like paid warranties are often just a scam. In Europe, we get a free warranty that should cover most problems for 3 years anyway.
I've never bought a warranty for anything in my life, and I'm doing just fine. But I get that OLEDs can have issues like dead pixels, which makes this particular case worth thinking about. Just my two cents!
Totally agree! I usually skip warranties too, but given the reputation of OLEDs, it might not be the craziest idea.
Yeah, but the downside of the free one is that it usually only lasts for 3 years. After that, you're on your own.
