• It’s critical that you purchase your Plasma TV from a reputable dealer selling brand name merchandise. Buy your Plasma TV only from a major retailer; small electronics stores or internet auctions cannot compete with the big boys on price, quality, warranties or return policies.
• Major retailers are also authorized dealers, selling and servicing top brand merchandise. They have a reputation that they want to protect and won’t go bankrupt if you have to return a defective $2,000 Big Screen TV.
• Only Buy Name Brand Plasma TVs. You can’t go wrong if you order a Panasonic, Pioneer, Sony, or NEC television. These are all major Plasma or LCD manufacturers making their own units. A “No-Name” Plasma is most likely manufactured with inferior components by second rate manufacturers . . . good luck finding parts and service!
• Avoid Auctions, unknown internet discounters, high priced electronics stores and e-marketers selling “gray market” or “B stock” merchandise. These sellers very often are not qualified to become authorized dealers and have no enforceable warranty or return policy.
• Look For Bargains on the websites of major retailers that you know and trust, like Wal-Mart, Sony or Panasonic. They’ll have warranties, a return policy and a reputation to protect. They’ll also offer some great deals on brand name merchandise that you won’t find in their stores.
• Keep your eyes wide open as you do thorough research; if you haven’t heard of a retailer, watch out! The first thing to do is check them out. Go online with the local Better Business Bureau (local to the retailer) or Google “complaint(s) (business name)”.
• Your retailer must be willing to guarantee his products and offer a 30-day replacement policy. The seller should be willing to give you his real name and address. If you settle for anything else it amounts to begging some con man to rip you off.
