Yes, buying online is usually cheapest, but I maintain that a TV is something you should try your best to see working in person before you buy. If there is a Richer Sounds anywhere near you, they will be more than happy to give you loads of really good advice, let you properly look at the TVs, etc. If the one near you has a demonstration room, they may even set some up for you in a proper viewing environment & let you bring along whatever you might want to plug into it. I gave the same advice to my sister a few years ago & she went along to the Sounds in Cambridge & spent a good hour or so in the demo room with her boyfriend's Xbox 360 before making the decision. Their prices usually aren't that bad compared to online anyway (remember to ask them for the price on their website rather than the price in the shop, as their website is often cheaper than the shop but you have to mention it).
