Want a new (HD)TV, Budget = $1,500-2,000

Well after viewing it in the store, and seeing the reviews here and elsewhere I have decided on the Sony 42A10.

I found an online retailer selling the set for $1579 significantly lower than any other price I've seen (lowest was $1709 on Amazon). Now normally this would set off alarm bells, but I have checked Resellerratings.com and pricegrabber.com and this place has a large number of reviews (80 on Reseller and 1000+ on pricegrabber) and has excellent scores on each of them.

Think I should be worried at all? The TV comes with the 1 year warranty. I'll ask if it's open box or refurb, but I assume I would be told it was new no matter what it was [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I would be saving around $250 by purchasing from this retailer, so it's awfully tempting.

Also, did you guys buy extended warranties?
