Default Re: Purchasing a TV online?

I bought a TV from Newegg, not had a single problem. I still have it in my bedroom. Use it every night.

These days I like to buy display or open box TV's at the big-box stores, where you can arrange a decent price and people will deal with you. I go ahead and throw the store and the employee a bone and buy a 2-4 year store warranty so they make an easy buck (warranties at those stores are a pure profit maker), and the employee gets to sell a warranty and possibly a commission at some stores (which most stores really push on them to sell), and I get a TV w/warranty right around the price I wanted plus I make sure the TV will last or be replaced outright. Win all around.

These are the days of the empowered customers, and retailers know that and are far more willing to be obliging to customers who understand both sides of the field and aim for a fair deal for both sides.
