Black Friday Ads !

[Buckeyefan 1]

Anyone want to see what retailers are pushing the day after Thanksgiving this year?

How about Sears having an Olevia 52" LCD TV for $1299?

If anyone sees some great deals on audio/video, please post. There's only a few ads out there now, but will be added quickly as days pass.

That Hitachi made me squirm a little.

That Hitachi made me squirm a little.

Just in case the ad is removed (some have been), what Seth is referring to is the indeed attention grabbing deal from Sears of....

Television: Hitachi 42" 720p Plasma HDTV $599.99

but now I just wish they had a 50" for say $899! HA!

They all look like great deals. I am leary of Olivia however.

 

[zildjian]

I am leary of Olivia however.

Me too, especially after what annunaki posted last week...

To those looking at the Olivia deal who didn't see annunaki's "disposable Flat panel" thread, read it here, it had eyebrow raising info in it everybody needs to know before purchasing some of the cheaper flat panel displays...

Don't be. I've owned two Olevia sets (20" and 37") for almost 3 years. They've been bullet proof. And if they die, I'd be in the same boat had I spent 2x as much on a Sharp or JVC.

Consumer reports has had a few reviews on LCD sets as far as reliability. The majority of people little if any problems with flat panel LCD. Plasma's in comparison have a much higher return/service issue rate.

How about the Sharp prices? Sheesh. A lucky few will cash in Friday morning. I'm anxious to see what Best Buy, Circuit City and HHGregg offer.

I'm betting an HD DVD player goes on sale for $199, and a Blu ray player for $299.

Hitachi 42" 720p Plasma HDTV $599.99
Olevia 52" LCD HDTV $1,299.99
Sharp 42" LCD HDTV $799.99
Sharp 46" LCD HDTV $899.99

I think there is a typo for the Hitachi Plasma. If you go to Sears website they don't have a 720p Hitachi. I actually think it is going to be the P42H401 model which is 1080i. Here is the sears link:

http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_05775727000P?filter=Brand|Hitachi&vName=Computers+&+Electronics&cName=Televisions&sName=Plasma+TVs

I am seriously thinking of getting one of these for the bedroom even though it can only do 1080i.

 

[zildjian]

I am seriously thinking of getting one of these for the bedroom even though it can only do 1080i.

Wouldn't that be a good thing??? It's all displayed as a progressively refreshed image anyhow on a flat panel display, so if it was 1080i, it would just provide higher resolution. I'm rooting for it being 1080i vs 720p. Come on typo!

 

[Gasman]

Hey Todd,

Thanks for the heads up.
That 'Hitachi 42" 720p Plasma HDTV $599.99'
I might just pick that up for the kitchen/breakfast area.... Awesome price for a NEW TV.

I am seriously thinking of getting one of these for the bedroom even though it can only do 1080i.

Is that one of the real 1080 panels, or one of the fake ones(Hitachi's deceptive past practice of using the horizontal pixel count of a 720, and the vertical count of a 1080)?

-Chris

 

[Gasman]

I've seen the Hitachi in person, and I can honestly say for the money it looks very good.
It does claim 1080i, and I viewed it directly next to a 720p set and a 1080p set.
The difference for TV viewing was minimal. (which in my case, a TV in the kitchen would not get hooked up to my computer, so would be fine)

That is of course if it is the same model I am thinking of.

At that price, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Heck at that price for a NEW 42" of any TV would be great (720p)

-Chris

It is one of those Hitachi's that has the panel with 1280x1080 resolution. It will take any feed (720p, 480p) and convert it to 1080i. For watching HDTV it's great since over 90% of feeds are 1080i anyway. Would also pair well with a Toshiba A1/A2/A3 hd-dvd player as well. Not really the best primary tv, but for $599 it's killer for the bedroom, office, or any secondary setup.

 

[alexsound]

If they don't remove the add for Sears, I wonder if the 46" LCD model is a 1080p set ?

 

[emorphien]

Oh dear, for that price I might very well be getting a new TV during Thanksgiving. We'll have to see.

 

[Buckeyefan 1]

If they don't remove the add for Sears, I wonder if the 46" LCD model is a 1080p set ?

At that price, I can almost guarantee it's a 720p model.

If anyone has access to the Wal-Mart BF ad, could you please e-mail it to me. I'd appreciate it very much. I can't find it on the internet anywhere because Wal-Mart threatens anyone who tries to help make them money.
Thanks.

Here you go. It may or may not be what you think it is, and I can't verify it, but take it for what it's worth:

Wally World

FujiFilm 6.3 MP FinePix F10 Digital Camera - $348.47

RCA 128 MB Lyra Digital Audio Player RD1028 - $39.44

I randomly noticed these two items -- the F10 camera was a current product about 2 years ago. It's no longer a current item. The RCA player also seems to be from 2 years ago.

This list seems to have some serious errors.
