WHERE TO BUY: - Big Box Stores or Online -
The truth is there are a lot of physical stores around the world. Many people believe that the big-box stores like Walmart, Fry's, and Best Buy are the most suitable and best place to buy their home electronics - Guess again!
In a published Consumer Reports, target audience survey shows that shopping online may well be a far superior choice.
The survey demonstrated that online stores executed a significantly superior job in most aspects in comparison to the big merchants in satisfying customer's needs. The items involved included laptop computer, camcorders, audio equipment, digital cameras, DVD players and televisions.
This was according to more than 18,700 participants that were questioned. These ratings were principally centered on price and product selection, service, quality and return policies.
For many buyers some products are best experienced in person. Here's where traditional stores have the advantage. The following are a few helpful tips:
CELL PHONES - Try before you buy
In spite of the number of reviews you may read, you will find that there is nothing like holding a phone in your own hands.
TVs - Online is fine
You probably have experienced that viewing a TV in a big retail store has very little likeness to watching the same set at home. The smartest thing to do is to investigate and learn which set is appropriate for you.
DIGITAL CAMERAS -Try before you buy
If you're in the market for a digital camera it is much better to buy from a conventional retail store. This allows you the option to feel the camera in your hands. Here you can experience if the ergonomics and ease of use and if the weight feels right for you.
BLU-RAY AND DVD PLAYERS - Online is fine
What you mainly want to know is whether the Blu-ray or DVD player features audio capabilities and video-steaming options. With this said, most all Blu-ray players generally have all the options you need. You can feel very comfortable buying online.
COMPUTERS - Online is fine
There's no debate here. Buy your computer online. Surveys have shown that computer online purchases are typically much better than brick and mortar stores for selection and price.
Now you're ready to watch some amazing high-definition entertainment. - ENJOY!
