If there is a problem you will get whacked with shipping charges and have to wait longer to get a working tv.

I know I can't post links to other forums here but do a search for audio/visual forums and see what experiences other people have had with the model you are interested in.

I prefer plasma, but that's my preference. I did a lot of research when I bought mine (a couple of years ago) and samsung was the tv to buy at that time. Then, samsung and panasonic were the top dogs. Just make sure you do as much research as you can. I did a lot before I bought mine and I'm very happy with it. It's a big purchase (spending a few grand on a tv). I expect to get 10 years out of mine, at least, it better fucking last that long considering the price.

Good luck with your purchase. I hope you get a good deal and are happy with your purchase. It's a good investment, especially if you like to watch a lot of movies.

Be sure to let us know how you make out.


That is an excellent idea... do you know if major B&M retailers will match internet prices? http://www.buy.com/pr/product.aspx?s...lerid=12964720 I thought $2200 was pretty good for a 65" LG 120hz 3d LED television ...


Does 3d matter? I don't care.. If I could get the same television 10% cheaper without it, that'd be great. I think I'd get the best price just buying whatever is popular and more available, which may be wrong?

Is it worth it looking for a 240hz instead of a 120hz? They had a 64" rear projection (not even dlp just an old projection) and didn't know how terrible the picture is

The television IS going over a fire place but a rarely used one.. The mantle is built real well but the heat would still go up and around it so I was thinking maybe install some fans blowing air downward??

Also I decided to put the vcr/dvd/blu ray and all of that in a closet 25' away to keep them out of sight and I wanted to know if there is a way to do that wirelessly now

Ah
And
My grandmother wants netflix built into the tv .. do they all pretty much have that capability? Being able to use web based content delivery services like netflix and hulu? I don't care if it needs an ethernet connection or is wireless ..
