2.2 The bathtub curve
A characteristic of many products is illustrated in Figure 11, where failure rate is plotted against product lifetime. The so-called bathtub curve shows an early, high mortality (known sometimes as infant mortality), followed by a stable mid-life of random failures, followed by a rise in failures as critical components wear out.

I've been using macs for about 6 years now. Never had the issue mentioned above.
I had the issue with my Windows laptops.
200 bucks for an extended warranty on a tv that is probably less than a grand. Do you think there is a>20% chance it will completely die within the timeframe of the warranty if so, but the warranty, or better yet, avoid buying a piece of shit tv that will be dead in a couple years.
The only time I've bought an extended warranty was on something where a) the warranty was like 10-30 bucks, and b) I knew there was a VERY high likelihood I would break it (eg those pos plastic guitar hero /rock band guitars - I sat on it, and they replaced it!) otherwise save your $. The odds are in your favor for the tv to outlast the even extended warranty without a problem, if they were breaking down left and right, nobody would buy one.
Quite humorously, a cashier at the source the other day tried to sell me an extended warranty on a pair of $9 wire strippers. After I declined she said "I don't even know how you could break these!" I said yeas, you could probably throw them off your roof or drive over them with the car and they would be fine.
