The first thing you should realize is that while these televisions produce a beautiful picture, it is never as good as it looks in the stores. Why is this you ask??? Well, when the manufacturers make these TVs, they turn the contrast and brightness of the TVs way up so that when they are on display in a store, the picture looks the best that it can possibly be. The problem with this is that displaying the TVs like this will eventually damage your screen and force you to buy a replacement. For this reason I suggest never buying a floor model and checking the brightness and contrast of your TV when you get home.
Second, after buying you LCD TV, you are going to need all the proper cables to hook up all of your components to the TV. If you want HD (High Definition) you will need to buy component cables to hook them up. Component cables provide the best picture quality outside of an HDMI cable. But 9 times out of 10 the salesman will try and get you to buy the most expensive component cables they carry(for more commission) claiming that they will provide the best picture quality. This is simply not true. A component cable is a component cable. No need to break the bank on that one.
