Last year's big Black Friday TV deal was a 42-inch Sharp LCD HDTV at Best Buy for $200. It drew crowds - not only to stores but also to BestBuy.com's review section to post negative reviews, even though the model wasn't on the market yet for purchase.
For those not willing to brave the doorbuster sale lines last year, there were a slew of quieter but still solid deals on large HDTVs online. Forty-inch sets were particular popular at the $300 price point, striking a size and price compromise between the more diminutive 32-inch sets and behemoths like the 73-inch DLP sets from Mitsubishi.
This year, deals on 40-inch sets are in full effect, but as with age, we're betting 50 is the new 40. Even pre-Black Friday, we've already seen great deals on 50-inch plasmas, LCDs, and LEDs - deals you don't have to brave long lines and dropping temperatures to get.
