Buyer's Guide: Getting The Best plasma tv
The hottest thing to happen in the area of home entertainment has been Plasma TV. It simply makes your viewing experience splendid, to say the least. It gives a crystal clear, high quality resolution images making it a winner all the way. The monitor that displays it all is just afew inches in thickness saving much of the precious space.
Not just that, it also brings down your electricity bills because its energy consumption is far more economical than that of its old counterparts. And for those who like their music loud, the good news is that the image remains undisturbed even if you place large speakers near the screen and turn the sound full blast.
Now that you have decided to go for a Plasma television, you need to know how to shop for it. It being an expensive equipment, you would definitely like to get the best deal available. Here is how you should proceed.
1.The first step is deciding the budget. It is important to know as to how much you want to spend. Collect the price catalogs of a few companies that offer Plasma tvs, and make your budget considering the average prices. Do keep in mind the essential features you want your television to have while making the budget. Once you have made the budget, stick to it. Starting generally at $ 700, Plasma TVs can go up to $ 4,000. Some of them may be priced even higher.
2.The next step is to decide if you want your plasma television come with a TV tuner or just a plasma display would do. The more expensive kind have have an attached tuner while in the cheaper varieties you need to attach a tuner box separately.
3.Make sure that the television gives a quiet performance. Some of the Plasma TVs have been found to be noisy because they use fans for cooling. The noise, obviously, ruins your viewing experience.
If you have planned properly there is no reason why you wouldn't get value for money. Since there is a great variety available in the market, you need to be a little diligent in choosing the right one for yourself.

2 Month Old Hewlett Packard HD 42" Plasma stopped working! How can I get Best Buy to speed up their service?!
We purchased this tv on the 1st of September, and a week ago my daughter turned it off manually (as opposed to using the remote) and it never turned back on again. The screen won't come on at all. We bought the full 3 year warranty ($300!) and yet Best Buy can't get anyone here to look at it until Nov. 10th!! It took them 5 days (3 "business days" plus a weekend) to even find a service tech who works on HP's, and that company is in another state! (We are in Idaho, the company is in Oregon.)
Best Buy is not working hard enough to appease us and I'm wondering if I have any recourse or is there any way to make them satisfy me? I'm so angry that we've only had this $1800 television for 2 months and it's already down! What a piece of crap! And I doubt I will EVER purchase anything from Best Buy again!!!
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I have spent many years in store and regional management of consumer electronics companies. When I worked at store level, I dealt with service issues daily. If you truly want to speed things along follow my advice below.
First, if you are yelling at the store, STOP yelling at the store. They are able to help you but, who wants to help someone that's difficult to deal with. If you are not yelling, then you are already one step ahead! Either way, I understand you're frustrated and pissed. Now it's time to get over it and get the TV fixed.
Second, make sure you have all of your purchase information in order (such as receipts). Manufacturers are sticklers about this.
Third item, If possible, try to talk to just one person at either Best Buy or the service center. Document every conversation. Ask when you can expect an answer, a call back, the parts to be in, the tech to arrive, etc. If they don't keep to their word, call them back within 60 minutes of the promised time and ask them for the name of their Manager and his/her phone number. That usually straightens out slackers.
Fourth, making demands (such as "I'll never shop there again") will definitely disappoint the retailer but, since you're now on such good speaking terms after following my first point, why not ask for a favor that benefits you instead? Ask the retailer if the servicing is going to take longer than 14 days if you can get a loaner TV. They may require a deposit with a credit card but, it's better than nothing. I regularly did loaners by using my open box inventory and didn't charge any re-stocking fees as long as the loaner was returned in the same condition as when it left.
Last item, and this is the hard one to understand item for many folks but, trust me when I say it works. Open your owners manual (or go online to HP's website) and get the 1-800 customer service number. Call them and tell them everything that you are going through with the local retailer. Ask them what they are going to do to step up and take care of their customer. I know what you are thinking - "No way, that should be done by Best Buy, why should I have to contact HP?!!" Trust me when I say that hitting a manufacturer from both sides (customer and retailer) to get a TV fixed works amazingly well. When a retailer calls and asks for parts to be overnighted or to get a product swapped out, it's easy for the manufacturer to say NO to the retailer. BUT, when a customer calls they suddenly soften up and you can often get a few concessions like overnight parts shipment, priority servicing, loaners, etc.
I hope this helps, best of luck to you.
