HDTV prices in the U.S.

[Quest88]

Read can get frustrated, but thought I'd share. :)

 

Last month, as Thanksgiving approached, an intense price war on flat-panel TVs broke out. Two weeks before the holiday, Wal-Mart's newspaper insert for Black Friday, the big shopping day after Thanksgiving, was leaked on the Internet, touting 42-inch flat-panel high-definition TVs for $998 a pop. It was the first time a 42-inch HDTV had crossed below the $1,000 threshold.

 

Within days, retailers Best Buy, Amazon.com, and Circuit City also dropped their prices on brand-name, 42-inch HDTVs, to around $1,200. In one month, TVs that were going for more than $2,000 were marked down a staggering 40% or more.
