I completely agree with iserum and daleb.
I have purchased online (from ebay in fact), and I would recommend it, so long as you are willing understand the risks involved.
buying online is only riskier if you buy from a non-retail store. you can buy from best buy online, and then return the product to one of their retail store.
returning an item to a non-retail store could be problematic (I have yet to experience this with a tv, and I hope I don't have to).
but you will have to determine if the savings is worth the risk to you. for me, it was worth $250 (or 33% of the cost).
if you are going to buy online from a non-retail store, do your research and check for reviews on the seller to determine their reputation.
good luck.
