I discovered through experience, to do all of my research on-line.
Even after learning you should not judge picture quality in the big, bright box stores, I made that exact mistake on my last purchase.

It was one of the latest and greatest 60"- 4K models from Best Buy.
It Looked great in the super bright showroom, and it was a display panel that I felt I was getting a good deal on.

When I got it home and set up, the picture quality was far below any previous (plasma) flat screen i'd owned.

It had all the obvious features that seem to fall short (to me) on typical "LED's".
Poor motion quality/refresh rates, soap opera effect on all the images and so forth.

Even my 11 year old son, after commenting on the incredible brightness asked me- "but what about the quality".

I was lucky to be able to return it.

The bottom line from my experience is- if your buying a new TV based on picture quality, do not judge by how it looks in the showroom.
Sounds like the same advice when buying new speakers right?
