hitach 50vs810 issues

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi

I have a Hitach 50vs810 LCD, bought around 16 months ago.

The picture fades to black for around a few seconds then comes back, probably does this maybe once a minute.

It's been like that for a while, I checked with Hitachi and it's not the bulb - it either works or doesn't

I'm asking because I have a choice of either

Pay $350 to buy an extended warranty from Circuit City then get them to come out
Pay $125 to get somebody to take a look, and then pay whatever it costs to rpeiar

Thanks in advance
