You can't beat Costco's return policy, I have never heard a single complaint from anyone about trying to return something. I had a 7 year old jogging stroller that I broke the handle on. I went back to Costco to see if I could order a part for it, they said they couldn't and without a receipt they just gave me my money back for something I had fully used with 2 kids for many years. I told them I didn't need a refund as I felt it was way beyond warrenty and I enjoyed many years out of it but they practically forced my money back on me! I had an older projector TV from Costco that wasn't a major brand name either and after waiting 10 years for the thing to die I finally had to give it away on Kijiji so I could by a new 55"LCD.

Costco has changed their return policy for electronics items, and rightly so. People were returning 5+ year TVs for a full refund, just so they could upgrade to the latest model:

Default Buy near Xmas

Best prices is at around Xmas and shortly after. New tvs are shown to the trade during ces in January...consumer electronics show. In lower mainland, also try memory express
.com. For 55 inch led, a good price is 899 or so. If you got 3500$' get a 70 inch one.... 2 hrs ago, these were 8ooo$.

Costco has always had a written return policy for all their products, it's there for people who abuse it. Buy a TV from any electronics store and after a month decide you don't like it and see how much money you get back from them. To be honest I have never had a TV fail on me so it doesn't matter to me where I buy one but I have been happier with some TV's and not with others which is were Costco is nice. Take a TV home and if it's not at all what you thought it would be like in your own home you can take it back for a full refund. The only problem is Costco's selection is smaller and they don't carry every brand or the very newest sets.

I herd Vision offers a warranty that in case that you do NOT use it the ammount will go back to your credit card after waranty expired.
But i dont know if this is true or not.

Yes the tank is big enough, but with the massive renos being done on the house right now, I convinced the wife to move the 47" downstairs and get a 55"-60" for upstairs above the new fireplace. So far I am really liking the LG at future shop for $1899. Just not sure whether the added 3D features are worth it or not. Really sweet pic though in 2D. Barb is already giving me flack about the 32" I am using in my "Man Cave" for my computer. Havent told her about turning the house wi-fi compatible so I can use the new big screen.. Looked at Costco but the selection wasn't the best, prices ok though. Will check them out online as well. Tried ebay, no screaming great deals and then it is usually a bit of a hassle for wty. Keeping in the search mode for now.
