USA 42 inch TVs under $500.

Posted on | November 10, 2009 | No Comments

We don’t often do consumer advice on the best cheap televisions for our friends over in the USA. Mainly because they have different TV model names and because I live in the UK. Anyway one of our favourite blogs CrunchGear.com has recently done an article on two TV deals for 42 inch televisions (one Insignia LCD and one Panasonic Plasma) both under $500.

They are both on sale at Best buy but as the original article mentions be careful of shipping costs as they add $70 on top of the final price (pick up from the store if you can).

The televisions in questions are the Panasonic – VIERA / 42″ Class / 720p / 600Hz / Plasma HDTV which has pretty much 5 out of 5 stars on all the reviews on the Best Buy website including one saying: “After weeks and weeks of comparing LCD and plasma, I saw this price for 42 inches and couldn’t pass it up. Couldn’t be happier with the product. Have not got the HD connected yet, but honestly I have never had HD before and the picture on this seems closer to HD than regular. Unlike the LCD’s which give you extremely bright color, this TV actually looks realistic and I love it. If you are hesitant about getting a plasma, don’t be, the prices are too good to pass up and the picture is incredibly refined. And with the money you save buying a plasma, you could pick up an inexpensive surround sound if needed.”

The Insignia is a 42 inch LCD television which comes with full HD 1080p resolution. The model was Insignia® – 42″ Class / 1080p / 60Hz / LCD HDTV but just as I’m writing this I’ve noticed its gone back up to full price ?. Ok maybe we’ll get lucky and they’ll drop it down to the sub $500 price again soon!
