Two years ago when my company wanted to buy two TVs for one of the offices in Bangor,we actually stopped into Fortin's with an open checkbook and bought it off this salesperson.

He knew exactly what we needed for the size of our office. He did not try to sell us the biggest, most expensive TV,he sold us the right size TV for our office.

And unlike buying a TV from one of the BIG BOX stores,we knew these TVs were brand new(not returned TVs like ya buy at ChinaMart) and we knew these TVs did not get tossed around in the backroom(like they do at the big box stores).

I recommend Fortins.

PS Ever notice at the big box stores many of the TVs are shelfed sideways,sometimes upside down--------NO GOOD for an electronic itemreport abuse
