[quote name='ravinrican']you forgot to mention that it is a Refurbished model not to mention the web sites hoorendous return policies. You would be better off the buy from B&M store or atleast one with a better return policy.
It just isnt worth all the hassle time and money if you get the defective product. just buy is from sams or costco if you dont like it return it no hassle of shipping .[/quote]
Also, I would never buy an open box/used/refurbed Plasma without first making a careful inspection of the unit, so mail order is out of the question. The reason for this is of course that the unit may have slight burn-in. Which more than likely is just image retention, but still, do you want to spend the first 100 hours with your television wondering if that THX Logo will go away?
