Black Friday HDTV Deals: Sony XBR65X850A 65-inch Ultra HD TV $4098.00 After Rebate (Save $2400)

By Chris Boylan

It's Black Friday: time for HDTV Deals! But instead of fighting with your neighbors at your local electronics superstore, why not simply click a couple of buttons and have that new TV delivered to your door? Particularly when you can get a good price on a top-of-the-line new set.

This year the hot new TV technology is Ultra HD. Ultra HD TVs (aka "4K TVs") feature four times the resolution - four times the detail - of a 1080p HDTV. There isn't a lot of 4K content yet, so good Ultra HD TVs will upconvert standard def and high def content to Ultra HD. Ultra HD resolution isn't that important on smaller sets but once you get up above 60 inches, those extra pixels really come in handy to create a lifelike detailed image.

Sony is getting into the Ultra HD revolution this year with a few models to choose from. The X850A series offers clean lines and a thin bezel, so it fits in with just about any decor. The 65-inch model (XBR65X850A), offers outstanding picture quality, but the price is a bit steep at $6499.99. But Amazon is offering a big discount on the set, plus an additional bonus of $400 in Amazon promotional credit after you buy the set.

The price you'll pay today is $4498.00, but in 35 days, you'll get a promotional credit of $400 in your Amazon account so you end up saving about $2,400 on the TV. Amazon also includes free enhanced shipping in the cost of the set. Check out the deal here:
