HDTV: Black Friday Predictions!
TVPredictions.com
Washington, D.C. (September 13, 2010) — Fifty-inch HDTVs for as little as $550? 32-inch LCD HDTVs for under $200? Blu-ray players for $70 or less?
These are just some of the incredible deals that retailers will offer on HD-related products on Black Friday, predicts a web site that tracks retailer discounts on what has become the unofficial opening of the holiday shopping season.
Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, has become a cultural phenomenon with waves of shoppers crashing into retail outlets at the crack of dawn in search of great deals.
BlackFriday.org, which has carefully monitored past Black Friday sales, predicts that physical and online retailers will heavily discount Plasma, LED and LCD HDTVs.
“The televisions that go on sale typically fall into 32” to 46” category, but you will see some reduced prices on 50” to 55” HDTVs as well,” the site writes.
For instance, BlackFriday.org forecasts that 32-inch LCD sets will be available for around $199 while 19-inch sets will discounted to as little as $99.
In addition, the site predicts, 42-inch LCD and Plasma models will be priced between $400 and $500 while 50-inch sets will be marked down between $550 and $650.
In the Blu-ray category, the site says feature-laden Blu-ray players will be available between $70 and $80 and some Blu-ray movies will be offered for about $5.
wow!
As long as BluRay disks don’t start being total garbage, as a number of DVD pressings have been, I’m cool with the bargain prices. Costco has a $99 BluRay player right now, hmm, probably a Vizio, but for those who want to fall for it, there’s also a Sony for under $150 right next to the $99 box. The JVC and Toshiba — okay, come to think of it, that $99 BluRay may be a Toshiba instead of a Vizio — and Samsungs are also to be found under $150, and have been for a while, off and on.
Christmas is 14 weeks from Saturday.
