Second Rule: Beware the Ringers
Speaking of shopping in superstores for these bad boys, one thing I?ve learned is that you don?t want to eyeball the image quality of these displays in a typical showroom setting where florescent lighting is used.

The large vendors will take the time to optimize the display settings on the high end systems (and then put them in an optimal showroom). I seriously peeved a best buy employee by resetting the dazzling high end Sony ($2199) to default settings, making it look just as "average" as the same size/resolution Indignia. I then optimized the Insignia and guess what, it looked so much better tha the default Sony.

No, don't buy Insignia, or not buy Sony, but just be aware, the more expensive machines are the ones tweaked out, you should check the settings.
