Best place to buy a tv?

Where is the best place to go to buy a flat screen tv? I've had a few people tell me to go to wal-mart because the electronics are cheap but I've had minor problems with a couple electronics I've purchased from there. I have people telling me Sears and others telling me Target. I just want to know out of your own experience where I should try to look and also what brand I should be looking out for?

If this helps, I am looking for something between 32" and 40" LCD

Thanks in advance for your input

Happy Holidays

    Walmart's electronics are cheap ($), but they're also cheap (quality). There's a reason the electronics they sell have shorter warranty periods and sometimes different model numbers than the same things elsewhere. Sears and Target would probably be ok, I refuse to shop at Amazon because they're a fraudulent company (long story, I won't get into it) and besides, they often don't have the best price. If you have one nearby, Costco is hands down the best place because if you have any problems whatsoever for something like 3 years you can return it for a full refund. The thing to keep in mind with Costco and Sam's (another store I refuse to buy from) is they also have different products than the mainstream ones, but the warranties are still typical length. Just something to be aware of.

    I bought my 54" plasma at ABC Warehouse because I got a really good deal, though I was originally planning on getting it at Best Buy (not my favorite store, but it was the best price). Just first decide what your budget is, then pick a tv by looking at reviews, THEN pick where to buy it from based on who has the best price and is reputable. And you have to decide whether to spend the money on the extended warranty the store is offering, which if you decide to do that you'll want to make that a factor in choosing a store. I personally chose to forgo that and just bought with my mastercard, doubling the warranty.
