Hello All,
Two deals actually today. If you need a TV, today is your lucky day. Woot and Sellout.woot are selling refurbished Philips HDTVs for today only.
At woot you can find a 32" HDTV. The TV has 3 HDMI jacks and a VGA jack so you can use it as a computer monitor. The only slight against it is that it does not have a QAM tuner, so if you have cable you will need a box to get your HD channels on it. It does have a over the air HD tuner, for hooking up an antenna, but it will not pull in the digital channels. It is $304.99 shipped to your door, a great price for a bedroom TV or a TV used a computer monitor. You can find it here.
At sellout.woot you will find a 42" HDTV. This TV also has 3 HDMI jacks, and it will play music and pictures from USB drives. It has a QAM tuner, but does not have a VGA input. This TV is $504.99 shipped to your door and would be a great TV for your living room. You can find it here.
Later,
John

Deal of the Day #2 - 11/21/08
Hello All,
Meijer is selling a Panasonic 32" TV for $463 shipped to your door. This is a brand new LCD TV with a QAM tuner, and a HD tuner built in. You can use code meijerjhalf to save on shipping. You can find this TV here.
The web site says the deal runs until 12/31/08, but I bet they run out of stock long before then.
You can find reviews here and here. A leading consumer magazine also thinks very highly of this TV, but that magazine will remain nameless, as I don't think they like being named. No one else uses their name anywhere, except newspapers and TV from time to time.
Update: It is sold out already. I will check back to see if it comes back in stock. Amazon has it for $530 if you really want it. A good price, but not a give away like $460.

The rest have undetermined end dates.
- Woot is selling a 37" Refurbished Magnavox HDTV for $549.99 with $5 shipping. It has gotten good reviews, one of which you can find here. It is 720p, has all of the HD tuners built in that you want, and is a big TV for a cheap price.
- 6ave.com is selling a brand spanking new 32" Sharp 720p TV for $568, with free shipping. You need to use this coupon code: AFL5, to get the $30 off. The TV has gotten good reviews on Amazon, you can find those here.
- PC Connection.com is selling a 26" Refurbished Westinghouse 720p HDTV for 329.99 with free shipping. Amazon reviews of the TV can be found here.
- Bonus, two extra posts for FREE. I tell you three, I give you five. That is just the kind of guy I am :-).
a. New Ipods will be coming out on Tuesday. That means the current models will drop in price by a lot, usually $50 or more. So wait until next week to buy one.
b. The Xbox 360 price drop is official, you can now get a basic 60GB Xbox 360 for $300, and a bare bones one (arcade) for $199. I like my 360 a lot, and play it the most out of the 3 game systems in the current generation, (PS3, Wii, Xbox 360).

Deal of the Day - 8/14/08
Hello All,
If you waited on the last TV deal, for whatever reason, then you can get yourself an even better deal now. For today only woot is selling the same 32" Westinghouse that I just bought, for $11 less than I paid for it, $404 total with shipping. That is a today only, or until they sell out deal, whichever happens first.
We just got our TV yesterday and we like it. 32" is bigger than you think, both the wife and I were surprised by the size of the TV. The case is also better looking than the buy.com picture shows. The woot picture is more accurate, with the bottom piece being graphite as opposed to silver. I will post the optimized settings for this TV as soon as I have time to calibrate the TV.
If Westinghouse is not your brand of choice, there is also a woot off over at sellout.woot.com. That site is a separate woot site that is sponsored by yahoo. Hence the sellout, woot sold out, get it. Anyway they are selling smaller quantities of different TVs all day, vs woot who is just selling the one TV until the stock is gone. You can check out sellout here, and the TV they are selling keeps changing. If the link does not work you can go to shopping.yahoo.com then scroll to the bottom of the page and the deals are on the lower left side.

Deal of the Day - 8/5/08
Hello All,
I just bought a refurbished 32" LCD TV for the bedroom, you know for the Olympics, NFL football and sponge bob. It is a Westinghouse HDTV. Although not the best TV in the world, for a dark room it will work great. The reason we picked it up is because with the coupon below, it was a whopping $415, free shipping.
The best part of this tv is it has all of the tuners built in (NTSC, ATSC, QAM), 2 HDMI jacks, a VGA (computer input), and s-video, component and all of the rest. You can hook an antenna up to it and watch broadcast HD for free, or hook charter up to it, and watch all of the HD channels they offer for free, without using a box. This does not include ESPN, but all of the broadcast ones are in there, and some other ones I cannot recall off the top of my head.
Here is the $15 off coupon, (You need to open a new buy.com account to use it):
http://www.retailmenot.com/view/buy.com
Here is the TV:
http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=208115572&loc=111
Here is the wall mount I bought. I really do not know anything about them, but this TV fits on it, and it got good reviews so I rolled the dice:
http://www.buy.com/prod/levelmount-el31-03-swivel-tilt-wall-mount-for-lcd-tvs-up-to-32-black/q/loc/111/204222741.html
If the TV deal goes away, it will be back in a couple of days, when they get more stock.
As an FYI, I looked back for over a year, and there has not been a 32" TV that I would buy for this cheap. Usually the cheapest 32" TV you can find one is for around $525 or $550. There is a little tweaking required to get this TV to display the picture in the optimal manner, but if you buy one I will email you the settings if you care.
Two more things.

- If you are upgrading from a square TV to an HD, you need to go one size up to retain the same size TV. So if you buy this TV, it is the same size as an old 27". If you have a 32" now, you need to go to a 37" to retain the same screen size. This will matter less next year when everything is HD, but I am all about full disclosure. You can read about what I am describing here: http://www.screenmath.com/
- To figure out what size TV you need you can do all sorts of complex things, but basically it comes down to this. Take the measurement from where your head is to where the TV will be. Divide that number by 2 and then by 3. Your TV size should fall in between those two numbers.
For example, in our bedroom our heads are 96" from the TV location. 96/2 = 48" 96/3 = 32", so we are at the smallest end of the spectrum with regard to what we can see comfortably. Anything bigger than this rule and it will look bad, i.e. you might need to move you head to see the whole picture, and smaller, you might not be able to see things on the screen.
