I usually deal with Tiger Direct or Newegg but i dunno how their TV prices are but you might wanna check them out. In my opinion Sony makes the Best LCD and Pioneer the best Plasma.

Also, buy it with a credit card, and just pay the card off right away. If the product you received is not as described, you can reverse payment Yup, credit cards generally leave the purchaser with a lot of power. So long as you buy the item within 100 miles of your home address or something like that, the policies vary. Yet another reason to buy local, as opposed to some warehouse from an Internet reseller. I'm pretty set on purchasing the KDL46XBR3 from Stereo Advantage, a specialty shop in Buffalo that's generally known as the best in town. They have the least expensive warranties, excellent service, and if I need to return the TV, it's right down the street. I'm all ears for any more suggestions though - not like you can overthink a purchase like this. What's going on with you Bridge? Ready to return to the darkside and play some WoW?

I'm a NewEgg whore myself - I love that place. I purchased the components for my last two PCs I built from there. Great with RMA's. They have the set I want but it's always out of stock and it's $100 shipping, which makes it about the same price as Stereo Advantage down the street. So aside from not paying the sales tax, there's really no advantage in buying from them - if they even happen to have it in stock again. Set is limited distribution I guess.

So long as you buy the item within 100 miles of your home address or something like that, the policies vary. I have never heard of it being a local policy. I know the rules of Discover card are national. I'm pretty sure Visa is the same way. The motherboard company for example was nowhere near where I live. I read one case where the guy purchased a product worth around $100 from some obscure company, didn't get the item he paid for, got a similar lower quality item, couldn't get ahold of a customer service rep through the phone, never received responses to his e-mails, said the hell with it, sent back the item w/o an RMA #, got the item returned to him, then reversed payment. Then he actually had the item and his money. After reversing payment he was contacted by the company. They asked what the problem was. He said they could check their old e-mails and that they would no longer waste his time. If they wanted the item back, they could courier for it, since he already paid for the shipping and they refused the item. He also documented everything he did. "I e-mailed them on day x, shipped the item on day y, etc etc." I'm doing pretty good. I was accepted into the PhD program at Montana State University for Experimental Condensed Matter Physics. They paid to fly me out and check out their program. I have a "Qualifying Test" to take in Fall 2008. It's the last important academic test I will ever take, as it determines if I can go on to get my PhD, or am stuck with a Master's Degree. So for the next year I am studying for that test and am avoiding things like WoW. That's not to say I have no life, but I'm the type of person that could easily be drawn into playing WoW 10-20 hrs/week when I really have other things I need to do. Oh and and.... It's in Bozeman Montana, about 30 miles from Bridger Bowl. So I can run around telling people my first name, and they understand it. Normally people slaughter my name and say "huh Richard?" Or I get a saleman who will call up and try and pronounce it as B-r-i-d-g-e-r (saying it phonetically and not making a "j" sound. So yes, I am moving to a place where everybody knows my name!

I was accepted into the PhD program at Montana State University for Experimental Condensed Matter Physics. Oh shit - congratulations! Good luck studying for your test - when is it? Let us know how it goes! And yeah, you don't need to be playing WoW..until after you pass the exam!

that's good to hear Bridge^^ PhD in Physics would help you tank by knowing the most strategic angles to position your body in order to minimize damage caused by blows.
I mean. Nice!

Still have a lot of cleaning up to do as far as hookups go and the lighting is poor, but here it is. Went with the brick and mortar down the street.
