TV/Electronics Shopping

[spaz-i-mota.livejournal.com]

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

Thanks, but I'm looking for a new TV. The one I had was a used on that lasted awhile and well worth the $0 I got it for!

With all this news about the ending of analog, I'm leaning towards a new one.

If you have the two-person refund (1200) you should be able to pick up a pretty good unit. Not too sure about Mom and Pop outfits but some alternatives to consider are Tweeter (the burlington one in particular is supposed to have a lot of very good equipment) and the Wrentham Outlets, particularly I've heard there are some real good deals on Sony's down there. (in my window shopping experience the Sony line is amazing).

I may be in over my head. I only have a '1 person' refund. Thanks for the info. I'll look into my options at Tweeter.

There are some things that big chains are good for. If your budget is not limitless I suggest you check out the chain stores as well just to compare.

Of which, the closest to Davis Square is the Radio Shack in Porter. But good luck getting anyone there to actually understand your questions.

Thanks!
I'm probably going to google around for a bit, and end up at Circuit City or something similar. I just figured I'd ask to see if there was anything I had missed around here-but it seems as though I haven't!

I will keep that in mind. I actually looked at websites for both of the places you gave me and neither mentioned televisions at all.

I suppose the Camera's Inc incomplete, now I know that because you told me. I don't have a TV, so I wasn't trying to spend a long time going door to door, just wanted to see if anything grabbed my attention on the here.

Thanks for the added info!

Radio Shack is not exactly the first place I'd run to to buy a tv. I was thinking more like Circuit City which is at Assembly Square next to Home Depot.
