With each passing day, we're slowly inching our way towards the holidays. That doesn't just mean that you have one less day to shop (don't stress yet!). Instead, it means that we have another great deal for your day. If you thought that HDTV discounts were just for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, you're not looking hard enough. Thankfully, we're here to do the dirty work for you.
Today, Amazon has an excellent plasma HDTV deal. For a limited time, when you buy the 50-inch Panasonic TC-P50GT50 Plasma HDTV, Amazon will throw in a free Panasonic DMP-BDT220 Blu-ray 3D Player. To get that freebie, you'll need to buy the TV and the Blu-ray player from Amazon. Then, the player will be discounted in your shopping cart. To find out how this offer works, as well as restrictions and the expiration date (it's December 1, 2012, by the way), check out Amazon's main promotion page:
First, a little about this 50-incher. As part of the GT50 Series, the TC-P50GT50 is very similar to its cousins from the VT50 Series -- which took top honors in this year's HDTV Shootout. However, this model tweaks the screen filter and drops the touchpad controller, so you can save a lot on the purchase.
What this model does have is active 3D technology, so you'll get a full 1080p HD image in 2D and 3D. It also has THX 3D certification and Infinite Black Pro, which promises to boost those black levels and cut down on unwanted ambient light. Other features include ISFccc calibration, built-in WiFi and improved audio via the 8-train speaker system. Of course, this set also has a slew of web streaming options, via Panasonic's VIERA Connect suite and a full web browser. Find out more about the TC-P50GT50 on Amazon's product page:
Also, don't forget about that freebie! This 50-inch HDTV comes with Panasonic's DMP-BDT220 Blu-ray 3D Player. This component is a perfect addition to your new 3D setup, since it can play 2D and 3D Blu-rays, as well as DVDs and CDs. It also has built-in WiFi and access to the VIERA Connect service for streaming Netflix, YouTube, Pandora, and much more. Find out more about this player on Amazon's product page:
When buying up this package, make sure to place your order with Amazon -- and not one of the retailer's third-party merchants. Amazon is discounting the HDTV, throwing in the free Blu-ray 3D player, and even offering to ship both for free.
Plus, this 50-incher includes perks like 2 percent cash back in Rewards, Enhanced Delivery service, and Amazon's TV Low Price Guarantee. The latter 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.
