This place may look a bit shady but two of my attorney friends have purchased televisions here for substantial discounted prices. Here is the URL if anybody is interested.

One of my favorite e-tailers is www.ecost.com. They've been in business for quite a while, and they often beat the pants off of any other discount e-tailer that I am aware of. The kicker for many of the deep discounters is their shipping and handling is extortion. Once you place the order you find out that their shipping costs are $50 + $9.95 handling + $5.50 partial order fee + $15.95 "rush" fee + $29.95 "because we can" fee + ... well, you get the idea.  At ecost they often run shipping deals; the last purchase I made from them was a Nikon slide scanner. The best price I found anywhere was just about $1,000, and I got if from ecost for $955. Plus they were running a shipping special, so I paid $1.99 for the order for shipping. Tough to beat that deal.
Anyway, I'm not affiliated with ecost in any way, just am a very satisfied customer. Check 'em out. |

Oh I am familiar with Ecost, they do have great deals but I think this site has a bit cheaper deals on televisions with no tax on products shipped outside of NY.  |

Besides, I wouldn't trust this company you listed. Look at the references in the bottom to AMEX and Paypal. They don't link through to verified business profiles-- they just stole the pics off some other page. If it's too good to be true, it usually is. Caveat emptor. |
