It's December 1st, which means that the holiday countdown is officially on. There are now only a few weekends left to do all of your shopping. However, you can snag a nice gift today, all without having to leave the house.
Amazon has an excellent HDTV deal going right now. Buy a little something from the Panasonic GT50 Series, and you can save up to $800 on the purchase. This includes the 50-inch TC-P50GT50, the 55-inch TC-P55GT50, the 60-inch TC-P60GT50 and the 65-inch TC-P65GT50.
Whether you buy one of these for yourself, a friend or both, you'd better move fast. This is a one-day deal, which means that this offer is only good through today (Saturday, December 1, 2012), or whenever the retailer runs out of stock. Find out more on Amazon's promotion page:
Panasonic's GT50 Series is very similar to the company's VT50 Series, which won this year's HDTV shootout. The big difference is that the GT50 has a different screen filter and doesn't come with the touchpad controller.
What it does have, however, is four different sizes -- all with a full 1080p image in both 2D and 3D. That's because these sets have active 3D technology built in. Other features include THX 3D certification, ISFccc calibration, built-in WiFi and the 8-train speaker system. This model also promises to cut down on unwanted ambient light and boost those black levels, via Infinite Black Pro.
The aforementioned WiFi support should come in handy when tapping into this set's networking features. The GT50 includes VIERA Connect, which can deliver on-screen access to all sorts of web-based goodies, including Netflix, YouTube, Pandora, and much more. There's even a full web browser!
All you have to do is choose the size you want and add it into your shopping cart. Also worth noting is that the 50-incher is currently part of another Amazon promotion, so in addition to the savings, you'll also score a free Panasonic DMP-BDT220 Blu-ray 3D Player with that purchase. Check out each model to see which one will fit your space and your budget:
All of the above prices were available at the time of this posting. Just know that the free Blu-ray 3D player is only available with the 50-incher, and needs to be added into your shopping cart along with the TV. Discounts will be reflected before your final checkout.
Also, you'll need to order these HDTVs from Amazon -- not one of the retailer's third-party merchants. Amazon is offering these discounts, the free Super Saver Shipping option, 2-percent cash back in rewards and Enhanced Delivery. And finally, all of these sets are protected by Amazon's TV Low Price Guarantee. That means if you can find your purchase for less within 14 days of the ship date, Amazon will refund you on the difference in price.
