PC Mag Makes the Call, But I Throw the Challenge Review Flag

Wendy Sheehan Donnell wrote a nice piece in PC Mag called “HDTVs for the Big Game” highlighting how there are great, and I mean great buys on HDTVs. If you act fast in certain markets and destinations you can get that beautiful picture in your home in time for the game. Every brand is priced competitively, but now is the time to go for that quality brand that may have been once out of your range, but now may well be affordable.

For example the Sony Bravia Series is always highly rated, the PC Mag piece lists the KDL 46XBR8 that was list priced at $3999, can be found for $1,999 – but you can do better yet, J&R has this Sony Bravia KDL46XBR9 for under $1,700 . Look I know prices are always in motion, which is why it’s good to follow websites like Roominations www.roominations.net and the Twitter profile @bigscreendeals for great deals in big screen HDTVs. We will bring you highlights of some great deals. This year will be particularly good for HDTV enthusiasts because of the introduction of 3D HDTV. That will be the bleeding edge of the market for 2010, but those kind of year always have good value pricing on current mainstream technology, which is more suited to my budget with five kids to still help get through college.

Here are some more deals to consider with hundreds of dollars of savings, once you finish your Super Bowl office pool.

J & R has several Sony Bravia series and a huge Toshiba at great prices

Sony KDL-52W5100 52″ Class BRAVIA W Series LCD HD Television

Sony KDL-52W5100 52″ Class BRAVIA W Series LCD HD Television

Toshiba 55ZV650U 55.0″ Class REGZA 1080p HD LCD TV with ClearScan 240

If you are a Samsung fan, and I swear by Samsung, Butterfly Photo has one of the sets in the PC Mag rating at a terrific price.

Samsung UN40B7000 40″ 1080p 120Hz LED LCD HDTV

Now back to the game.

HDTV is a Guy Magnet

Gals, you may have never looked at HDTV this way, but it is, especially during high profile sporting events season, just that: a guy magnet. This is also the season for getting great HDTV deals. It’s pre-Super Bowl season and if you are really planning ahead, get ready for March Madness. Guys, you know what I’m talking about.

By the way the Aaron Rogers’ facemask attack came after the ball was stripped by the same hand. You can see that right, but maybe should still have been called. Imagine that in high def? I digress.

There are some fantastic deals from now ‘til Super Bowl across a variety of screen technologies and brands. This is the best
time to be looking because with shipping guaranteed before the big game, you get to choose between brick and mortar and online deals.

Here are some that I found attractive TVs to consider.

One of the Samsung deals at B&H Photo and Video

Samsung – LN52B630 52″ LCD TV save $500 offer good through 1/16 but keep checking the www.B&H.com site for other models with similar savings.

Sharp Aquos – Sharp LC60E77U 60 inch Aquos Full HD 1080p LCD HDTV – from Electronics Expo crazy $900 savings but stock is low,

Sony Bravia 52” XBR9 Series HDTV from www.Datavis.com – DataVision Computer Video. This model has great reviews and worth a look if you are on the higher end of the price range

Panasonic’s critically acclaimed PC series has a Plasma that will make most men drool, even when the set is turned off. J & R has competitive pricing on this model so take a look before the Super Bowl.

What’s your favorite HDTV?
