I saw a 120 mhz 50 inch for $899 tonight, and the 40” were much lower than the were even a month ago. It’s hard to keep up though, probably I should jot down the info each time I’m in the wholesale clubs.

Washington, D.C. (September 21, 2011) — Another day, another set of Black Friday predictions from a web site that tracks online and retail deals. This time it’s from DealNews.com and the site is making some bold forecasts for high-def prices on the big shopping day.
For instance, says DealNews.com, you can expect that 40 to 42-inch 1080p LCD HDTVs will be available for $319. (The web site, GottaDeal.com, earlier this week predicted that 42-inch, 720p HDTVs could be had for as little as $249 on Black Friday.)
In other predictions, DealNews says 46-inch 1080p LCD TVs will go for $399; 55-inch 1080p LCD sets will be available for $549; 55-inch 3D LCD HDTVs will go for $999; while 60-inch 1080p LCD TVs will sell for $699.
For background, retailers traditionally offer deep discounts on the day after Thanksgiving, better known as Black Friday, the unofficial start of the holiday shopping season. (Black Friday this year will be November 25.)
The discount prices are often available for one day only — and may include restrictions on time and supply. Discount hunters also have to contend with the frenzied atmosphere of Black Friday which some shoppers view as a day of combat.
DealNews predicts that Black Friday retailers will sell Blu-ray players w/Netflix Internet streaming for $45 and Blu-ray movies for $5 each. The Roku HD 2 set-top will go for $60, the site predicts.
