I have purchased 2 TVs (24" and 27") over the internet, both from Crutchfield and both times they included the delivery and install. The second one wasn't working right and one phone call they shipped out a new one and picked up the old one. The prices are competitive but their service and lifetime customer help is worth it to me but unfortunately I didn't see that model listed.

My room-mate picked up a super-biggy-sized TV via the internet. Thing musta weighed 250lbs! It took nearly forever (like seriously 6-8 weeks) to ship via freight, but it was delivered to the door ... in a crate the size of a Volkswagen. No real problems with it, aside from the long shipping time.

Purchased my Sony 51" High Def RPTV from a company called "One Call" over the internet. Took about 2 weeks to arrive by truck. Works perfect, and saved about $200 over local stores.

With Costco & Sams generous return policy, I'd rather spand an extra $100 and buy locally from them. I returned a laptop to Costco after it broke, No questions asked. A lot easier than dealing with warantee repairs.

I bought a 42" plasma over the internet from B&H Photo. Saved about $1,800 compared with Best Buy. The first one shipped was stolen at the loading dock of the shipping company. Took a couple of days to straighten out, and B&H sent a replacement. Overall a positive experience and saved a good chunk of money. Just make sure you are dealing with a company you trust.

Ok, I cheated on Pelican for the last few weeks here: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=40

I ordered a 42" Panny from Plasma Concepts. May not be the the rock bottom cheapest, but overall I feel I got a good price and really enjoyed my experience with them.
