What is the sale tax in paterson? 3.5%

If true, it is worth all the toll pay for a trip from NYC.

If you travel to Westbury, it will be a longer trip (maybe 25 or 30 miles), and the sales tax is probably in the 8% range, right?

What's it cost to cross the GWB, $8.00? The Paterson store is maybe 15 miles from the GWB, but you'll be saving about $45 in tax with the 3.5% tax rate in Paterson.

So, including gas savings, you may save between $35 and $40. But if you need to get the set delivered, the Paterson store might charge more than Westbury to deliver to NYC. If delivery costs are comparable and you're OK with driving to Jersey, I'd say it's worth the savings.

I bought this TV last friday and watched it a few days. The HD is good but the SD content is terrible. Very fuzzy and grainy. I am watching a lot SD so it's not acceptable. I am returning the TV back. Now it's another searching of lcd TV. Any one knows a LCD in this size showing good SD contents?

I bought extended warranty through my visa card, full coverage for 5 years (in-house) for $140.
