Holiday 2012: Big Bargains For TVs, Gadgets?
Washington, D.C. (October 19, 2012) — The holiday shopping predictions continue to stream in and all are saying that retailers will offer big discounts on TVs and other gadgets.
Research firm IHS iSuppli is the latest to weigh in with predictions that include 42-inch, 1080p LCD TVs available for under $200; 55-inch LCD TVs with 3D capability slashed from $1,400 to $800 and Blu-ray players available for under $40.
iSuppli says the discounts will be required to lure consumers who are still struggling to survive in today’s down economy.
“Amid weak economic conditions, along with a lack of compelling new products, electronics brands have little choice but to slash prices to gain the attention of buyers,” iSuupli said in a statement. “While consumer electronics brands and retailers always offer bargains for Black Friday, this year is likely to bring extremely steep price declines.”
iSuppli said the deals mentioned above will “get shoppers out on Black Friday.”
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 23.) But many analysts believe that online and retail stores will continue to offer low prices throughout the holiday season.
In other holiday predictions, DealNews has said that 32-inch,1080p LCD HDTVs will be available for $159 on Black Friday while 47-inch, 1080p LCD HDTVs will go for as low as $299.
GottaDeal.com says that 720p 42-inch sets will likely be available for as low as $249 with 47-inch and 50-inch LCD and LED models available for around $399 and $449 respectively.
