Last week, hundreds of manufacturers were out at the Consumer Electronics Show, demonstrating all of their shiny, new products for 2011. However, that doesn't automatically make the older models junk. It does make them ripe for huge discounts, though. Is it Christmas? It certainly feels like it.
Amazon is hosting a one-day deal on Toshiba's 40-inch 40E200U LCD HDTV. This model doesn't have all of the bells and whistles that we're seeing featured in newer HDTVs. There's no 3D or networking features. Know what it does have? An awesome 1080p image at a super-low price. For today only, Amazon is knocking 37 percent off this model, bringing the price down to a cool $439.99 (which includes free shipping!). Check out the deal here:
As mentioned, this 40-inch CineSpeed LCD panel features a full 1080p image, as well as a 60Hz screen refresh rate, and DynaLight backlight control, which boasts deeper black levels. For an even better image and greater control over your viewing experience, this set also includes Cinema Mode 24 fps, a Game Mode, and three TheaterWide modes.
Add in your own content via the set's USB port, which can play back audio and photos. The 40E200U makes for a nice photo frame, and even has features which allow you to view slideshows or flip through pics via the included remote. Of course, you don't have to just look at pictures. There are options to add in a Blu-ray player, a DVD player, a cable/satellite box, and plenty of other devices, via the set's four HDMI inputs.

This is a great set at an unbelievable price, so you'd better act quickly. Assuming that Amazon doesn't run out of stock (ha!), this deal is only available today -- January 13, 2011. Make sure you buy directly from Amazon (not one of its third-party merchants) to get this discount, as well as free shipping. Amazon is also offering free 30-day returns on this set, and putting it under the retailer's TV Low Price Guarantee. That means if you find the set for less within 14 days of the ship date, Amazon will refund the difference.
