The biggest shopping day of the year is at hand and manufacturers are trying to spur TV sales by highlighting massive price markdowns online. In the last week, we’ve even seen some of the most discount-averse companies offer eye-opening sales of their best displays.
But with the economic recession on everyone’s mind, is anyone taking advantage of the discounts? Or are there deals out there that are just too good to pass up?
We’ve been watching the early Black Friday deals roll in and we can safely say that if you have the money to spend, you should definitely consider the top crop of displays. The bottom ones, well, not so much, even if it seems like a great deal to buy a massive 67-inch DLP TV for less than $2,000 (yes, we’ve changed our mind on that one).
These recommendations are based not only on the initial large price drops, but also with the understanding that when buying the TVs, you should make sure to get a 30-day price guarantee from the retailer, as we mentioned last week. Follow the (likely) continual price drops over the next month and you’ll be sure to get the best price without leaving your couch.
Check out a screenshot of our top TV deals below, and then check out our Google Docs spreadsheet with the larger list. We based our rankings on overall quality of the display, type (LCDs usally fare better than Plasmas in the near-term), and general savings. If you disagree with the rankings, let us know in the comments.
And if you find any new deals propping up on the net throughout the day (in between the gravy chugging), let us know and we’ll add it to the list.
