Is there a Panasonic (big screen) tv dealership in TV , or nearby?

...or Costco carries Panasonic, as well. Costco doesn't carry the full line and they are often last year's models.

You won't be Abt prices. They don't charge sales tax and ship "white glove service" (delivered and set up in your house and boxes removed) at no charge. They're the biggest on Chicago's north shore. Here's their website http://www.abt.com/ Check models and prices there. If you like what you see, shoot me a private message. I'll send you the name of a salesman I've dealt with for years. He'll even knock a little more off the price on the website. They also sell all kinds of appliances and other items.

Just for fairness Kahuna - their website says that 'white glove' is an additional $100. But it does look like a decent place to do business. Prices are competitive but not necessarily better than other large dot.com sites such as Butterfly or Plasma Bay who also offer free shipping (same or more charge for 'white glove').

From their website:
Abt offers free standard delivery on all big screen TVs (DLPs & LCD Projections) and large flat panels (Plasmas & LCDs) throughout the US. White Glove Delivery is available at a cost of $100.

what does "white glove" service entail?

mikey: Although we did not buy a Panasonic, we purchased online from www.abt.com and used the white glove service. They delivered directly to our residence, unloaded, brought into the house, unboxed and set up, turned on and gave a quick tour of the menu. I also purchased an extended warranty that would give me full coverage with in-home repair. I have used abt on other purchases as well. They are dependable and we couldn't be more satisfied, especially on such a high $ purchase.

Hope that helps.
