The salesman instinctively engages in the old 'bait and switch' routine - "Yeah we got that in stock, but I have a Toshiba XXX model just as good for $xxxx". When further inquired about their return policy incase of defective TFT display, he proceeds to rudely put me on hold. Comes back a minute later, and responds vaguely - "Yeah, we can work something out". I've had enough experiences with NYC vendors to know what that means. Excuse me if I rather not spend my $4000 on them. Jim
