OK, after several torturous months of indecision (and reading through hundreds of AVS forum posts!), I finally pulled the trigger and bought the Sony 34XBR910 at Circuit City. But there is a twist. When I went to the store the manager offered me an "open box" set for $300 less which had been returned by a customer (i.e. not refurbished or repaired, or so he says). The set is being delivered tomorrow. The "open box" issue makes me a wee bit nervous, but it has the same 30 day return policy, warranty, etc. So, is there anything I should look for to make sure the set is fine (isn't defective or been abused, etc.)?? I can, of course, simply return it for a truly "new" set.
Also, I ended up buying the 2500 model Monster powerline conditioner as well--is this a good match? (there are more and less expensive versions). And, any suggestions on a good DVD player for this particular set? (I have an old non-progressive scan player).
Thanks for your thoughts on this!
