check out best buy, they seem to have um the best buys :smile:
In my experience, that's not necessarily true. Best Buy and its clone, Circuit City, have a very good selection. Their regular prices and their sale prices are generally decent, but not great; very often you can do better elsewhere. The two places that
do seem to have the best buys are Sam's Club and
its clone, Costco, both of which have plasma, LCD, and conventional tube HDTV and EDTV sets in a variety of sizes, albeit with a limited selection of brands (usually just one or two) in any particular size. I've also found some excellent electronics buys at Target (particularly when items are on sale), although they tend to sell smaller items rather than the high end stuff.
Incidentally, Best Buy and Circuit City show almost all of their items on their websites, so it's easy to do research from home. Sam's Club varies by department and most of their high-end consumer electronics items in the store are not shown on their website. Costco has a policy of
not showing items available in their stores on their website.

Kind of off topic but where is a good forum to go to when researching the different tv's out there?
A great place to start for an overview is Consumer Reports. Their November issue had a huge buying guide to digital equipment, with plenty of buying advice as well as brand name ratings for HDTV (including plama, LCD, and conventional), home theaters, digital cameras, and camcorders. Highly recommended. That issue might still be on newsstands and in bookstores; otherwise, you should be able to find it in your local public library.
. What is the most tv for the money? what the heck is EDTV?
