Amazon charges no sales tax. That’s a 9% savings. Also free shipping on some TVs. Prices are usually very competitive with Costco.[/quote]

Yes, but costco has a 2 year warranty on it. Trust me, if you plan on buying lower end LCD/plasma, you definitely want that.

Technicians say that some of the lower end units (won’t name names but you can guess what they are) been having a 33-35% failure rate. The only one’s made with slightly better components are Sony higher end.

Trying to return a plasma/lcd over the internet, you’ll easily pay $100+ for shipping.

Side note. I just bought a el-cheapo 24″ lcd computer monitor from costco. And although it’s “fine”, I has a really annoying buzz (like the 60hz hum you get)….It’s going right back to costco for an exchange.
