Big-screen bargains


Via CNET:  Bigger means better when we're talking about screen size, but not when we're talking about prices. Senior editor David Katzmaier kept this in mind when he rounded up the top big-screen beauties for less than $2,000 that he reviewed this year. Although they might not fit under the tree, they're still worthy gift contenders.

Top 10 most popular TVs


From CNET:  Judging from our list of most popular HDTVs of 2009, the field is dominated by two brands that pummel the rest. The models that made the cut, based on total pageviews over the course of the year, invariably spent some time on the best TVs lists. Since ranking the best is largely based on picture quality, what you see is that two brands typically have stellar displays. Only one set, our highest-rated HDTV ever, comes from a third manufacturer. So, which brands should you be looking for? See the top 10 list to find out.  Read more here  http://ct.cnet-ssa.cnet.com/clicks?t=511063344-3830dcdfc84ebca9bafee7ef31abe27f-bf&brand=CNET-SSA&s=5

 It does have a lot of connections available at the back. An HDMI port, component and composite like a normal TV does.

 It also has a USB port on the side so in case it’s hooked into your PC, you’ll have a spare USB slot that is easy to reach.

The AVISION LCD TV-Monitor is nothing special but it’s really cheap if you don’t mind less-known brands.

Get ready for flatscreen TV price wars

Retail experts say the sweetest deals in the coming weeks will be on smaller LCD televisions and some bigger-size plasma TVs.

 If you're in the market for a new flatscreen TV this holiday season, you're in luck.

As nervous merchants prepare to draw reluctant shoppers with juicy sales, retail experts say some of the sweetest deals in the coming weeks will be on high-definition televisions.
As they compete for customers, TV sellers are going to wage a price war, and the biggest bargains will likely be on smaller models.

"The difference from prior holiday discounts on TVs is that consumers will find really, really good prices on 32-inch to 37-inch HDTVs and not necessarily the 65-inch models," said Phillip Swann, a consumer electronics expert and publisher of TVpredictions.com.

"We're already seeing 32-inch LCD models under $400. Typically they are $500, or more," he said. "And we're also seeing prices drop from about a $1,000 for 40-inch screens to $800."

One example, Target is reportedly featuring a 32-inch Westinghouse LCD HDTV for $246 as a "doorbuster special" on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving when holiday shopping kicks off in earnest.

"The smaller TV models also appeal to consumers who already have a 47 or 50-inch HDTV in the living room and they want to add another flatscreen in the bedroom or elsewhere," Rubin said.
At the same time, the economy and a shaky job market is also spurring interest in smaller-sized TVs.
"Consumers still want to buy a new TV, but at a smaller pricetag," said Swann.

Google (GOOG, Fortune 500) searches in the past 90 days for 32-inch LCD HDTVs have been 44% higher than searches for 37-inch LCD HDTVs, and 24% higher than searches for 42-inch LCD models.

Prices are slipping on big screens

But if you're determined to bag a bargain on a bigger screen, here's a useful tip: opt for a 720p model. "Your best chance on a great bargain is on a plasma 720p 50-inch TV for maybe a $1,000," said Swann.

So where will bargain hunters find the best deals? NPD's Rubin says Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Costco and online merchants will duke it out on TVs this holiday season.

In a sign of how fierce the battle on price might be, Wal-Mart jump started its TV promotions last weekend, offering its shoppers 42-inch Sharp 1080p HDTVs for $498, 46-inch Sharp model for $698 and 52-inch Sharp model for $898.

Comments
This article is horrible. There have been 32" LCD's under $400 almost all year long. Not to mention 50" plasmas regularly run around $800. 10 seconds of searching on Google will show you every black Friday ad for this holiday and the prices are nothing amazing. They seem like any regular Sunday savings.

Also dont fall for the 1080p hype. The only true 1080p source is Bluray. EVERYTHING else is 720p or less. You will be more than fine with 720p TV's. I have both 720p & 1080p and the difference is only present on Bluray.

Helpful HDTV Buying Tips

Introduction

High-Definition televisions are often on the list of big-ticket sales at many Black Friday retailers. A good television should hopefully last you for several years, so this is not a decision to rush into! Big discounts on these expensive sets can tempt you into a quick purchase, but do your homework beforehand and you'll wind up with a great TV for a great price.

This buying guide should give you the basics you need to make an informed decision in buying your new set. We are making recommendations based on the overall value - the bang for your buck - and not necessarily the highest of the high end. Expect a range of options that should suit all budgets!

The great debate: Plasma vs. LCD
HDTVs are produced using two competing technologies: plasma and LCD. The technological details behind both would require much more space than we have here, but good comparisons are available at this site and in this video.

To summarize very briefly, LCD technology is generally the most versatile. This is what is found in most flat-panel computer monitors, laptop screens, etc. It works well in a variety of light conditions and is available in the largest range of sizes. Plasma is most true to high-quality images - especially in rendering deep blacks - and will generally produce the best image quality at a given size.

Many of the problems that were reported about each technology have since been improved to the point where the advantages to each technology are slim. Plasma previously reigned in avoiding motion blur, until LCDs introduced 120 Hz refresh rates so that blur is imperceptible to the human eye (but you'll pay more for the faster refresh rate). LCDs claimed longer life-spans until plasma manufacturers toughened their panels to last just as long as LCDs.

However, there are still some downsides to each. LCDs have a narrower viewing angle than plasma sets - be sure to test out the TV in advance by standing as far away as you would normally sit and testing the full range of viewing angles. Plasma sets are sometimes more susceptible to glare (due to their glass screens) - if your TV will be located in an area with lots of natural light, consider an LCD. Finally, although many plasma sets are Energy Star certified, their power consumption is still higher than an LCD. If you're motivated by green (in more ways than one), you might stick to an LCD.

A word on sizing: all other considerations aside, plasma sets simply are rarely less than 40", with only a few offerings in the 30" range. If you're looking for a medium to small TV (such as for a smaller living room, a game room or a bedroom), then LCD is your best bet by default. 

What's in a name: Brand-names
Many stores have their own in-house brands. Best Buy has Insignia, Walmart has Digistar. While these will provide a good value and will probably be indistinguishable from other brands in terms of image quality, the parts used are sometimes sub-standard and getting service, should your TV need repair, can sometimes be very difficult. On the other hand, many consumers use these TVs without complaint. Weigh the benefits of purchasing a more established brand name, such as Panasonic, Sony, or Samsung against the additional cost.

A Final Note
There are lots of good choices out there for HDTVs. Use the variety to your advantage and choose carefully! You will almost certainly be able to find a good deal, no matter your budget, as long as you think out your purchase in advance. Do a little research, check out your existing setup, and maybe even hit the stores early to compare TVs. Then go forth and enjoy a superb picture and what will hopefully be a great deal!   Read the entire article here http://bfads.net/Helpful-HDTV-Buying-Tips/Page1

SM Appliances LCD tvs cheaper prices (at least in Cebu SM)

  SM Appliances and Robinsons Appliances and others have similiar products and prices now as I don't see the TVs featured so much in the front of the store updated October 2012 check out the latest posts at the right to get the best prices of LED tvs now.

Since I am observing a lot of clicks on LCD tvs on my Bargain Philippines, I stopped by the SM appliance store in SM Cebu today.  I found a 32 inch tv as low as 23,999 so if your in the market for a new LCD stop by the SM appliance store in your area.  The main entrance they may have the specials available.  Their website does not reflect the latest sales and I continue to promote that SM needs to have a section for individual stores so they can highlight their offering directly rather than one generic website for the whole nation.

Makro does not have any good buys this week on LCD tvs.  I hope they put out some more of their specials as they have had they have had the best buys I have found to date.

 Finally the prices on LCD TVs are coming down at SM Appliance, the USA has been down for years and sales are booming. Makro has offered LCDs 32 inch for 19,000 and less and 42 inch recently for 37,000. Since Makro is owned by SM, I am sure that SM Appliance can also offer these excellent prices and I look forward to mass appeal pricing like they do at Makro http://www.makro.com.ph/
