Sunday’s Super Bowl HDTV Deal-O-Rama

It’s Sunday, and the biggest NFL game of the year is on today! In celebration of this football fanatic’s dream day, here’s a few great HDTVs for your pleasure:

Walmart.com – We all know Wallie-Mart has great price, but this one is really good: a Coby TFTV3217 32” LCD HDTV for $298.00 – with free shipping as well? Now that’s value, folks.

BuyDig.com – Our readers are no doubt aware of our affinity for LG, and this one is pretty straight up an amazing deal: the monstrous LG 55LH40 55” 1080p LCD HDTV for $1295.00 (Use the ‘See price in cart’ feature) and with free shipping. Huge and tasty!

Thanks for reading, and happy Super Bowl Sunday to all of you.

Perspective: Is this the time to buy a HDTV?

Yes, there are several big events coming, including the Winter Olympics and the Super Bowl. Many think this would be the ideal time to buy or upgrade their HDTV, but some others in the industry disagree, thinking consumers may get fleeced because of the “rush” mentality.

Our opinion? You can get some really nice deals this time of year, you just have to be smart and shop around. Doing your due diligence is essential in getting the best price on anything, and that includes HDTVs. Or perhaps some have put forth the idea of waiting a few months for the 2009 model HDTVs to get low and the new 2010 models to arrive, which is a very viable strategy.

Feel free to let us know in the comments if you spot an amazing HDTV deal you want to let everyone know about.

Super Resolution: Super Bowl to be delivered in uncompressed HD via Level 3

It seems even the big stations prize picture quality for the big events, as the upcoming Super Bowl seems to indicate. Word is that the biggest game in the NFL will be delivered to your screen, sans compression. This (should?) will result in a sharper, clearer picture for all to enjoy, hopefully.

Big Game Price Dives: HDTV Super Bowl Sales, Sears and Free Blu-Ray

It’s that time of year: The Super Bowl. It’s also the time of year some retailers discount HDTV units to sell them to folks wanting to view the big game on a BIG HD screen, which we’re all in favor of, obviously. Prices on HDTVs are already pretty low so far this year, as we’ve reported. Sears is one of those making a big push in this direction.

Sears is launching a big game sale on HDTVs, including an 8% instant savings on sets 46″ or larger, for those of you with a hankering for really big screens. The sale also includes a chunky $150 savings on a Zenith 42″ Plasma HDTV; instead of $649, it will be priced at $499. That’s big-time coin, folks. Other retailers have somewhat similar plans, rumors are reporting.

And another feature we especially like: Sears will include a Blu-ray player free of charge with select Samsung HDTVs you may buy from Sunday, Jan. 24 to Saturday, February 6, so those ready to take the plunge may want to stop by Sears and take a look.
