1. If I were to buy a TV, I would research the hell out of it. I'd be upset if they sent me a different TV when I already spent a lot of time researching the one I ordered. For instance, if I decided I wanted a 50" to fit my room size the best and I got a 60", I'd be irritated. Even if I did like the TV better, I'd still call and let them know.
More expensive doesn't necessarily mean better.
