TV/Electronics Shopping

Anyone have any suggestions for a 'local' electronics store where I can *purchase* a new tv?  As my economic stimulus $ was depositing into my bank account, my television died.  Conspiracy theory, perhaps?

Anyways, I have a car to get around if need be.  I'm curious what's out there besides the big chains.  Any info or personal experiences with these would be appreciated.

Thanks! 

*I clarified this to show that I'm hoping to purchase a TV, and curious what non-chain options are around

As much as I'm not a big fan of the chains, I got my TV at the Circuit City in Assembly Square because it ultimately came down to price and for the TV I wanted they were way cheaper than anywhere else.

At this point, you should make sure that anything you buy can receive digital HDTV signals. Otherwise, you may have nothing but a big doorstop after next February.

Go to COSTCO

For a good price on a TV go to COSTCO. The one on route 16 east towards revere is not too far away.

Sieze this opportunity to ditch the tv! Reclaim your brain! Discover your community! Make new friends! Learn to play an instrument or take up kickboxing instead!

I gave up tv about 5 years ago, and am so glad I did. Now if there is something that is really interesting, I can usually download it on my computer, or rent a whole series on video.

Seriously. Life is so much better when there isn't a tv in the house.
