Remember when HDTVs were super expensive? Neither do we. With the holidays approaching fast, retailers want to make sure you have something big and shiny to put under that tree. Maybe that's why we are starting to see some truly eye-popping HDTV deals, and Black Friday is still a few days away.
Right now, Walmart has Samsung's 51-inch PN51D450 720p Plasma HDTV listed for just $499. Yup, that's under $500 for 51 inches of glorious high definition goodness. That's not a misprint! Now, that cost does not include shipping. If you want to pay a little extra, they will certainly deliver it to your home. However, if you're willing to go pick it up at your local Walmart store, the retailer will ship it to your closest location absolutely free, for the absolute lowest price we've seen on this HDTV and without you having to worry about them running out of stock. Check it out on Walmart's website:
NOTE: Walmart and Amazon have both raised their prices on this model since this article was first published, but stay tuned and keep checking to see if the price goes down again on Black Friday or Cyber Monday. As an alternate, check out Samsung's 51-inch PN51D430 Plasma which is priced at a super-low $498.
This 51-incher has a 1366 x 768 HD resolution, 600Hz subfield motion drive technology, and SRS TheaterSound audio. If you want to add in some of your own content, there's a USB port and ConnectShare for playing back your own videos, music, or pictures. There's also plenty of room for set-top boxes, streaming boxes, Blu-ray players, and more; the set has two HDMI and two HD component inputs, as well as an old school VGA PC input.
Also, this is one of Samsung's Plasma Plus One Design sets, which means there's more picture to enjoy, and not as much bezel hogging up your precious viewing space. This means the TV will only draw attention to itself when it's on, and that's a good thing.
Just remember that the above price does not include shipping costs. This price is for those willing to pick it up at the store. Amazon, however, is offering free shipping on this exact model, for a purchase price of $568.97. Besides the shipping, this price includes free 30-day TV returns and Amazon's TV Low Price Guarantee. That means if you find the PN51D450 for cheaper within 14 days of when Amazon ships the set, they will refund the difference on your purchase price (and by the way, Walmart.com is one of the authorized dealers that Amazon matches prices on...).
