i found the 46hm84 at best digital online for $1299 plus $199 shipping.anyone ever deal with them?should i go for it or what?

I've never done business with them but i think you can find a better deal than that. Alot of companies say they have "white glove" delivery where they take it right to your living room. THis is just a way for them to charge more. I got my TV at best buy and they did all the for free.

thanks for the reply but i've been following the prices of this set for a few months now and that is by far the lowest price even with the $199 shipping.if you find it lower i would appreciate it if you could let me know where to get it.

That is a great price. I got mine via Amazon back in January for quite a bit more. From what I saw then, Best Buy - or any b&m store - could not compete w/ online pricing.

Only problem with buying online is you can't return it ;)
As long as you're ready for that risk, then enjoy your new set.

well,i spoke with someone at best digital online and i was not happy with the answer they gave when i asked "what happens if the tv breaks in 3 months"?they told me i was responsible for packing the tv up and shipping it to toshiba for service.i went to cc and started looking around.they had an hlr series 50" samsung dlp open box for $1899.i figured for $400 more than the toshiba i was getting 4" more and a newer model.when i went back to pick it up,i noticed a 6" scratch that was very deep in the lower part of the screen.you couldn't notice it in dark scenes,but when thare was a very bright scene it was very noticeable.they offered to take more money off but i am so anal i could never live with that.i asked if they had any other open box sets and they only had 42" and 44" and i wanted at least 46".the manager came out and asked what i thought of the hitachi 50vs810 that was sitting next to the samsung.i never really looked at it because it was $2899.i started looking at it and it is an amazing lcd.he said he could sell it to me for $2450.it was kinda tight spending the 2k on the samsung so i said i have to pass.i hung around for a little while checking out all the other sets and he came back saying he would sell it to me for $2300 including tax.i just couldn't pass up that deal so i left the store with it.i think i made out pretty good and so far i am very happy.i need to fine tune it but just on the standard settings the picture is really good.i don't have hd yet so i'm sure it will be awesome when i get it.
