That's what I was thinking, We also talked about 4K TV's in general. He said that he does not like what Samsung does in that that the quality of the 4K picture differs significantly depending on price and at that at least with Sony the 4K picture is the same with a TV that costs $1800 as one that costs $4500. I'll research it a bit more.
I think you can trust the Best Buy guys to give you a very high level overview of the TVs features but in the end, you have to figure out what you want in a TV and watch it for a bit to see if it's appealing to you.
I'm not too sure what you mean by the last comment. Every TV is going to look different regardless of the manufacturer. What you should really look for with all of the edge-lit LCDs is just how bad the black levels are around the edges and toward the center. You might not be able to see colors the way you want them in a best buy, but you can very easily check for flaws such as color bleeding and uniformity.
1 - Ask them to put a letterbox movie on. Any of the typical superhero movies they put on are usually in letterbox.
2 - Pay attention to whether the black is actually dark grey and then pay attention to whether it's even lighter grey toward the corners. I posted a review on top that illustrates this perfectly.
This is the reason why Plasmas were considered superior. LCD just cannot replicate the black levels. At the same time, Plasmas also lose many of their benefits in bright environments where LCDs and OLEDs do not.
