Where is the best place to purchase a TV?

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.

Look at models in a retail store, but buy online. You avoid sales tax, and shipping is often free.

I used these services recently. They check many vendors for the price of any model. You set up lists of models you want and it emails you when the prices drop below a certain level. Anxiously awaiting my goodies.

Costco is good if they have what you need and their return policy is great.

I thought we were to avoid Plasma TVs? I am tech challenged, but am in the same boat. Looking to get a flat screen (refused to shop black friday) and was hoping that Americans would defy the consumer hype enmasse, allowing me to catch an awesome deal right after Christmas…..yeah I know, I still haven’t bought a house for the same logic.

Anyway, I am now considering cashing in my credit card points to get one (that and two ipod shuffles.)

This is the model I am considering and am wondering if anyone has any thoughts? Is it worthwhile to get 1080 vs 720? Is there a big difference between 37″ vs 42″??
LG 42″ HD 1080p LCD TV Features 1080p resolution, 50,000:1 contrast ratio, HDMI™ v.1.3 with Deep Color, 24p Real Cinema mode, and an invisible speaker system with Dolby® Digital 5.1 and Clear voice for richer more balanced sound. Includes remote control and stand.
