The more I dig, the more I hear of this kind of thing. Thanks.

So no go to Abe's or any such place; the extra $$$ will be well-spent if I go to a B&M

And with that, NEW QUESTION:
Would/have any of you purchased floor models? And if so -- perhaps especially for an RPTV -- would you drop the extra $ for an extended warranty plan?

I ask because on my way to work, I stopped at BB, CC, and Ultimate Electronics (all within a 3-block area) to check out the KDS60A2000. UE was closing it out to make wasy for the 2020 line (the exact same set, with an all-black cabinet), and had only floor models left; for $2060, that's awful tempting. But given a floor model's "always on", every day during business hours (albeit here, they properly adjust brightness etc. in the darkened display room), might it be worthwhile to spend $400 on a 4-year warranty that includes bulb replacement?

Jesus, I'm an insecure shopper. Can you tell my last major purchase was a good half decade ago? And that I need validation for something I probably have my mind set on anyway?

Thanks!
