You never know when you'll find a great deal on your favorite model so shopping around is the best way to find what you want. When I bought my 42" Philips, I started online (and yes, CNET is great!), and then started cruising the local stores. Circuit City was selling out at the time but I couldn't find what I wanted there; being in the home of Best Buy, I had to give them a try...still not quite what I wanted. I moved on to Walmart and found exactly what I wanted for the right price but out of curiosity, I checked Target and they had the exact same TV at the same exact price as Walmart. The only difference was that the TV at Target came with a stand and the TV at Walmart did not. I've had nothing but good luck with it ever since and saved a bunch of money.
