'Tis the Season ... for Cheap HDTVs

Are we to this time of year already? The first big news about the upcoming Black Friday sales has appeared, and it's good news for those looking to buy a cheap HDTV.

The Sears ad [PDF] shows a wide variety of LCD TVs at some pretty attractive prices. Just don't get too excited, you've got a few weeks yet before you bust down any doors.

Some of the most attractive deals include a 40-inch Samsung HDTV, 1080p resolution, for just $599. A similar deal on a 40-inch Sony goes for $665, which is not bad at all. If you don't want the high-end brands, Zenith has a 42-inch LCD TV for $499 and Proscan (don't worry, no one else has heard of that brand either) is selling a 40-inch for $539.

There are a few good deals outside of TVs. You can get a DVD player for $18, if you actually need a DVD player anymore. Surround sound systems got a very modest discount, and games will actually have some pretty attractive prices. Want some more Guitar Hero paraphernalia? Sears has the Guitar Hero World Tour pack discounted $20. Rock on.

Sears opens at 4AM on Black Friday [Nov. 27 this year]. Don't forget your mittens … and your boxing gloves.
