answer:Sure – although at times I feel like I might be making the decision hastily. Now, did you just look at the tvs, or at all the specifications? Did you understand all of the functions? Did you know whether or not there were hookups that would work with both your current recording/cable devices as well as new ones? Did you want to hook up your computer to it as well? etc., etc…. His looking at things you couldn’t get may likely have been a waste of time – but often larger and more expensive electronics can do things that we may want to see if the smaller versions can do. So realize that sometimes you want someone there who is stopping you from making hasty decisions.
