  You can get rock-bottom deals at places like Best Buy (with service to match), but if you’re looking for specialists in the purchase, care, and feeding of flat-screen TVs, the venerable Harvey Electronics edges out its competitors in a crowded market. The store stocks a tight selection of top brands like Fujitsu and Pioneer, but its selling point is service. Whether you need a quick $200 setup of a $1,400 Hitachi 42-inch flat-screen or a completely integrated, surround-sound imax experience with a $250,000 price tag, they’ll come spec your home for free, help you design your dream system, install it, and service it in perpetuity.
