Top 5 Ebony Friday TV discounts

1. Yes, we're starting off with a wrap for just what we believe might be top TV deals in 2010, for the reason that the 2 units appear comparable and generally are just $1 apart in cost. We already stated that Best purchase will have a 50-inch Panasonic 1080p LED/LCD TV (TC-50A400U) for only $200. But Amazon features countered with a 50-inch Toshiba 1080p LED/LCD set for $199. There's little info about this set now, but we expect to hear even more quickly. Panasonic and Toshiba LCD TVs did really within score, but neither brand features scored especially well when it comes to noise.

2. A 60-inch 120Hz 1080p Element LED/LCD TV for $498, at Walmart. That is a fantastic cost for a TV this size. We now haven't tested this set therefore we cannot comment on its display quality, but other Element units we have tested haven't done all that well within our reviews. Still, it might be good for less-discriminating watchers, or as a secondary big-screen TV in a den, bed room, or kid's play room.

3. A 40-inch Element 1080p television for $119 at Target, Amazon, and most likely Walmart. No specific model happens to be known as, but we believe it could be the Element LF401EM5. If that's the case, we expect that Walmart will attempt to fit this cost, or overcome it by a buck or two. Amazon has also an unnamed 40-inch set for this price. We do not expect that it is a top performer, but it's unbelievable you can buy a 40-inch TV for less than you would pay for an 8-inch tablet.

4. A 50-inch Samsung 60Hz 1080p TV (model UN50EH5000FXZA) attempting to sell for $478 at Target. Samsung worked with a few merchants available "Black Friday unique" models that we have not seen at in other cases of the season. But Samsung has-been one of the top brands in our television Ratings, therefore we expect these sets to do well. Just for $20 much more, Walmart has a step-up 120Hz model with wise television features—the UN50H5203 for $498. This could really be a much better deal, also it nevertheless drops within our spending plan cutoff.
