HDTV Deals Get Better After the Big Game

http://www.nbcdfw.com/around_town/sh...-Big-Game.html

Some football fans rushed out to buy a new television to watch the Super Bowl, but the prices often get better the week after the big game is over.

The best time to buy a new tv may be after the Super Bowl.

"Right before Christmas and right after the Super Bowl are the best times to get a TV as far as deals go," said Tony Venezia, a spokesman for electronics retailer Best Buy.

Some high-quality 1080p HDTVs are now selling for less than $1,000. Consumers saw significantly higher prices just a year or two ago.

"I remember when these first came out; it was ridiculous how expensive they were," said Win Sedwick, who was shopping for a new flat-panel TV last week.

Despite a tough economy, stores expect sales to pick up this week, in part because of customers who are upgrading their TVs in anticipation of the nationwide switch to digital television signals.

Hell.. TigerDirect had a 47" 1080p Visio for $699 on Tuesday morning.

Needless to say, it sold out rather quickly...

Maybe now is the time to start looking at LED backlight tv's.
