go to Amazon.com- best place...
my wife and i are getting a “together” gift this year and i bought a brand new Samsung UN55D6000 55-Inch 1080p 120Hz LED HDTV (Black) for $1080 yesterday....
Amazon also has many re-furbished sets too.
I almost always buy re-furbished for myself. Most of the major manufacturers - Sony, Apple, Samsung, etc. - have online re-furbished products.
I currently own a re-furbished Sharp Aquos Quattron 3D, re-furbished MacBook Pro and re-furbished Sony all-in-one PC.
All in all, you get a better quality product, and you know what you are getting because you have researched it.
I haven’t had any problems with any of the re-furbished products. They come with standard warranties, and you can buy additional warranty.
Last year I bought a Sony TV for my aunt for $600 on Black Friday. Found the same TV on Sony’s re-furbished site for $199 about a month later. The internet is your friend, and sure beats battling for a bargain.
