there are pros and cons to buy online are,
the only pro is lower price.
Now the cons,
almost impossible to return if they are not defective, if you don't like performance either you have to live with it or if authorized for return you have to ship at your own expense which could be expensive including insurance, when TVs were 2 to 3K range the saving were significant online, now prices with in $1200 (most tv 46 inches or 50 inch plasmas)the saving are not that significant online. At this point it is not worth buying online.
Local store will exchange TVs for even one dead pixel or even you don't like performance. Costco online purchases could be return at stores.
