Great advice.

I've heard horror stories about people buying their "dream TV" at a Black Friday sale and then getting it home only to find it has only one USB port or a similar lack of a feature that the "dream" set did have. Of course they should have checked, but in the heat of the moment--several hundred dollars below what the "dream" TV did cost--easy to do.

Caveat emptor!
