Have a little case of the Mondays? There's nothing like starting the week off with a little anticipation about a brand-new HDTV. Don't think something like that is in the budget this year? Well, you obviously haven't seen the latest deal from Amazon.
The online retailer has just the thing to shake you out of that funk that comes with the start of a new week. We found Amazon discounting the Panasonic 42-inch TC-L42E50 1080p LED HDTV.
Now, the set is selling for a very cool $547.99. However, if you buy this TV between now and December 8, 2012, Amazon will throw in $100 worth of promotional credit. That's like getting the TV for just $447.99 -- and Amazon will ship it right to your front door. Find out more about this offer on Amazon's main promotion page:
Amazon says that the credit will show up in your account within seven days of the TV's ship date. So that means that you can't actually use that promo code on the purchase of this HDTV. However, it could get you a new Blu-ray player or maybe even some gifts for other people. Not too shabby.
Speaking of which: The TC-L42E50 is a very nice purchase as well. It doesn't have any 3D features, but it will deliver an awesome full 1080p HD image. It also has Panasonic's new LED IPS (In Plane Switching) panels, so you should expect some pretty sweet black levels and off-axis viewing, all while cutting back on the on-mode power consumption by about 25 percent over last year's models.
Other features on this 42-incher include 360 backlight scanning, DLNA support, four HDMI inputs and two USB ports. It doesn't have built-in WiFi, but makes that an option via an add-on adapter. Networking is definitely something to consider too, since this set has VIERA Connect. That little perk provides on-screen access to a slew of web-based services, such as Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, Pandora, YouTube, and much more. Find out more about this model on the TC-L42E50's product page:
Just remember that you can't use the promo code on this purchase. However, you're certainly going to want it -- as well as this HDTV. To get both, make sure to order directly from Amazon and not one of the retailer's third-party merchants.
Amazon is offering the discounted price and the promo code, as well as free Super Saver Shipping and Enhanced Delivery service. Also, this 42-incher is eligble for the website's TV Low Price Guarantee, which means if you can find this exact set (same make, same model) within 14 days of the ship date, Amazon will refund you on the difference in price.
