Consumer Reports joined Into Tomorrow this week to tell us about HDTV deals:
While Black Friday and the Super Bowl get all the attention as prime times to get great HDTV deals, savvy shoppers know we often see the lowest prices right about now, so says Consumer Reports. Their electronics spokesman James McQueen is here to explain.
With the first 2016 sets just now hitting stores, manufacturers and retailers are looking to sell any of last year’s models still in inventory. That means you can score a great HDTV deal, especially on big-screen sets.
We’ve picked out a few can’t-miss models that are selling for less than they did just a month ago.
The LG 60LF6100
Talk about price fluctuations on HDTV deals — this 60-inch LG set, now selling for about $850 at a number of stores, was only $680 at Walmart last week, but it’s now out of stock at that retailer. The set is a 1080p LED LCD TV that offers very good high-definition picture quality.
Over the past few years, Vizio has almost become synonymous with TV bargains. The 60-inch Vizio E60-C3, a 1080p LED LCD TV, is another winner offered at a great price for a set this size. Although it’s selling for about $1,000 at Amazon, you can get it for $700 at a number of retailers, including Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. The TV boasts excellent high-definition picture quality and a lot of features.
