Best Buy
Best Buy's leaked ad brings several tempting door busters to the table, including a 50" plasma for $899 and a 32" LCD for $399. There's a well equipped Toshiba laptop sporting a 15.4' screen, dual core processor, 3 GB of ram and a 160 GB hard drive for $379! There's also one of the best deals on an Xbox 360 so far, including two extra games on top of those which come with the holiday bundle for a total of four games in the $299 package.

Circuit City
Circuit City ups the ante this year by offering several name-brand HDTV deals on Black Friday including a 42" Samsung Plasma for $699 and a 32" Toshiba for $449! At these prices, there's no reason to go with a store brand when you can enjoy the quality of Samsung or Toshiba. Circuit City, which has filed for bankruptcy and is closing many stores, is also discounting numerous video games and Blu-Ray titles for Black Friday. Even though many of these titles have been out for a few months, they make a great gift to go with one of the many Xbox 360 deals going on.

What's else is on tap at places like Target, Staples and Dell?

Black Friday deals look to amaze this year!

black friday linesBlack Friday, for those of you who have yet to be initiated, is the day after Thanksgiving here in the U.S. and it is marked by huge sales at retailers and lines that stretch around the store. During these sales prices often hit rock bottom and this year, thanks to many of the major retailers eschewing rebates for instant savings, retailers will be setting records for low prices. Dan de Grandpre, CEO of dealnews, is an admitted techie who with his team of experienced bargain hunters has compiled their predictions for Black Friday 2008!

There are too many categories and deals to list here but here are a few that tempt me to do something I detest: wait in line!
  • Small portable laptops starting at $199.
  • 42" and up plasma and LCD TVs starting at $499!
  • Blu-ray players from $149.
  • Flash drives, routers and more free after rebate.
These are just a few of the deals the dealnews team is predicting. If you are in the market for any kind of electronics this year you should definitely check out the full breakdown of Black Friday items that made the list.

Normally you won't find WalletPop bloggers pushing a large purchase but it's evident to me that those of us who are frugalists still need to purchase big ticket items from time to time and the thing we love most about it is getting the best price. If a good deal isn't enough to convince you to head out on Black Friday then maybe you should check out Buy Nothing Day which takes place the same day and advocates 24 hours of consumer abstinence!

HDTV and LCD monitor prices set to fall agian

HD TV LCDThis coming Fall it looks like prices for LCDs will once again plummet as consumer demand has tapered off leaving excess stock in the retail channels. It seems that early in 2008 manufacturers of LCD displays shipped a record number of LCDs especially large ones, which coupled with a faltering economy has turned the HDTV and display business into a "buyer's market". This price drop comes on the heels of a spat of price cuts in May of this year as Sony began to drop prices on its Bravia line.

The price drop is coming because of simple economics, and consumers should hold off at least until September to pick up any large LCD displays. If you are hanging on for another month or two before making the purchase it would be a good time to sock away more money towards your new TV rather than putting it on your credit card. If you can hold off until November, I wouldn't be surprised to see rock bottom prices on name brand LCDs. If prices drop enough you can toss a 42' LCD into that house you're still trying to unload and throw it in with the purchase. In this market you gotta try something!

NEC 24" Widescreen LCD Monitor, $439.99, Newegg.com

wide screen monitorThe Daily Deal for April 6, 2008

If you've been shopping for a wide screen computer monitor, then you've probably seen a large number of them in the price range of anywhere from $700 to $900. Those were the prices you once had to pay to get a good one but now, Newegg.com comes to the rescue.

Newegg is offering an NEC 24" wide screen monitor for just $439.99. That is the lowest price I could find for this monitor anywhere. It has built in speakers, a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1200 and comes with a three year limited warranty on parts and labor.

The twelve consumer reviews that I read about this product give it a five out of five star rating overall. The one negative review that I encountered was from a person who experienced a slight hum from the product when reducing brightness. That consumer received a replacement which likewise hummed. They were otherwise quite satisfied with the monitor. Some of the reviewers indicated a bit of disappointment, but not dissatisfaction, with the stand which comes with this monitor. It adjusts for tilt, as most monitor stands do, but there is no height adjustment, which left consumers wondering why NEC didn't supply a better stand with such an impressive monitor.

Consumers reported that these monitors are clear, bright, and easy to work with. Any mention of tech support contact gave good review on that also. The three year limited warranty is outstanding for this product category. NEC is a name well respected in the video display realm. With FREE shipping to the continental 48 states, this product offering looks like a super deal to me.
