Awesome. My plasma is starting to get the blue spots creeping in.

This is good news, since my dad just told us he'd buy us a new TV. Yesss!

once again - tell me when i can find a 1080p 42" lcd at under 1000 bucks.

Does anyone have any idea on how this will compare to Black Friday deals? Because Thanksgiving is only about 3 months away.

Maybe I';; upgrade from our 10 year old 27" sony trinitron now...oh wait...I'm too cheap.

My wedding is in October. We're going to use our gift money for an HDTV, so our buying power just went up! It's too bad more electronics stores don't have Bridal registries.

Thank goodness Fry's has a 30-day guarantee.

Good god, this is going to be an excellent Black Friday.

@audioeric: I heard about Sylvania before and did research about it. Pretty much a mixed reviews. Should I get this one?

@danishh:

Frys (not Frys electronics) has been hawking Philips 42" plasma for 999 for about 2 months now. I've seen it at other places for 1100.

@Playstation: TVs have been dropping a good bit recently. I picked up an Oelvia from Target for under $700 (42" 1080p LCD). I think there's a lot of downward pressure on prices coming from 1) the desire to start moving in more expensive LED LCDs and 2) items just sitting on shelves as people horde their money.

I'm hoping that means a big Black Friday. There is going to be a lot of product out there competing to get sold.

@lpranal: I don't think the MSRP prices have been going down steadily, but the sales and rebate prices seem to be going lower and lower. Hence, BF could be big.

Of course, I could be completely wrong, and BF will be awful.

makanai

Sorry, but since when was $100-200 off a huge price drop??

Ike_Skelton

Oh also should I wait for Black friday instead? What's your take on this guys?

Playstation

Still waiting for evidence of the other two "price drops" in the last few months. Bought an LCD in april and it's still going for more than what i paid for it (instant rebate at CC)

lpranal

any chance this will leak over to HD projectors? that's what I've been hoping for.

Ugh. I hate being reminded of how many whiny teenagers read this blog. Instead of sitting around reading the internet maybe you should go get a job so you can afford nice things like TV's and hookers.

I just came from Best Buy, and I saw the Samsung LN52A650, which HD Guru says will drop in price from $2999 to $2799, for exactly $2799. Since I was once interested in this TV (I'm now looking for the LN52A750), I looked around for it a while ago, and saw it at Circuit City for $2499. It's higher now, but I wouldn't pay $2799 for it. I'd wait for it to drop to no more than $2300.

I hate when people whine about others whining.

@teenagers:
You heard him - get off of the internet and tend the fields! In my day, we walked 6 miles just for one lousy internet search! And if we whined, 100 lashes! Your generation does nothing but fiddle with the gosh darn intertubes!

@makanai: Yeah, that Olevia deal was a steal. It's an awesome TV too.

hammertime1994

Olevia filed bankruptcy.. they still making TVs??

My aunt bought a 42" LG last week for $1000.. was priced $1200 in the store but they have her an on the spot $200 discount. I thought it was a good deal until I seen the link above for the 42" Sylvania at $799.

Now, when you can show me a 52" for under $900 that doesn't cost $100 to ship, I'm buying 3 of them.

allstarecho

Of course, I may go for the Olevia 265TFHD 65-inch LCD HDTV. Just 10 months ago it was $7,000. Sam's has it for $2994 now. Owning 2 Olevia LCD flat screen units right now (both 32"), I would not hesitate whatsoever to buy Olevia again. So tempted..

allstarecho

@njbrideau: Nope, projectors are in their own world. Anyway the 1080p models are already pretty cheap and heavy on the features.

jibbly

Didn't you guys post this same news like 6 months ago. Still waiting...

henhowc

I look forward to black Friday deals.
