By Erica Hall

The arrival of the Television is long in the past now. They have been around commercially since the 1940's and they have been a staple in homes since about a decade afterward. They came in on the heels of radio programs that they replaced speedily and Saturday afternoon serials at the movie theater. It was prevalent for the family to assemble around the new TV and just enjoy it like they used to sit around the fire and tell tales. Back then there was only one kind of Television to procure and the people had no option in the matter. Times have altered and now TV buying is a complicated operation.

Having a good idea about what is out there is the first thing that you need to understand. Don't go shopping and do the typical thing of okay we have seen the best they want this price, let's pay it and go. Be willing to shop around some.

The first thing to do when TV buying is to go to the internet and browse around. You are going to have to spend some time doing this because there are numerous suppliers and they will all try to entice you. There are a lot of good sights that will let you compare different deals that are available on other sites. Check them out and see what is out there.

One option, with the internet is to actually buy the computer in line. This option allows you to see all that is available in the privacy of your own home with out the hassle of a salesman always making life annoying. There are two methods of buying and then picking up the Television though. The first way that you can accomplish this is to go to the website of a major retailer and let them have you pick it up at a local store. This will cut out some of the expense as this is usually included in the price of the TV . The other way that you can do it is to have the set shipped to your home. There is a problem with extra cost though. You will have to pay for shipping and insurance for the set.

When you are looking to buy it is best to be informed so that you can ask the salesman some intelligent questions. You want to have a few of the specs memorized and then act like you know what you are doing. The salesman will actually respect you more and probably give you better service as a result.

Another thing to realize is that they are going to try and sell you a warranty when you are TV buying. These are generally worthless and only make money for the store.

Find out what kind of extra deals they can give you. Is there something that the manufacturer is doing that you may be able to take advantage of? Is the store having a sale on items over a certain price? It doesn't hurt to ask.

Some times when it comes to the final sale of a TV such as the TX-P42X10 is that they will try to get you to purchase a credit card to buy it with. They do this because it is pure profit for the store, but a big pitfall for you. - 30542
