Finally I can now say I have found a place besides Nordstrom's that fully understands what customer service truly is. The TV is here at my place now and should I even have a problem with it I know I can take it to Johnny's and what they tell me will be honest and true. This place rocks and the service was awesome and fast. Well worth the time and price.
