We recently purchased a 42" widescreen, flat screen, HDTV set.
And now, it's hard to watch TV on anything smaller. (But we do... our other TV is an "old-fashioned" 20-inch television set.)
The point is... we're really happy with our 42" TV set. And depending on where you're going to put it, it seems like the perfect size that would fit in most places.
Our 42-incher cost us $1,400 (from Costco). It's a Philips. And we love it.
Now, I'm finding several 42" widescreen TVs appearing in the 2007 Black Friday sales fliers, and I'm jealous. The prices are about half of what we paid (just 3 months ago).
To give you an idea, I simply entered 42" in the search box here and got these results:
$699.00 for the HCT HPP-42HCB 42" Widescreen Plasma HDTV with NTSC/ATSC Tuners -- an Early Bird Item for a limited time only at Military BX
$799.00 for the Sharp LC-42D43U 42" Widescreen LCD HDTV with NTSC/ATSC Tuners -- an Early Bird Item for a limited time only at Military BX
$899.99 for the Sharp Aquos 42" Widescreen LCD HDTV -- at Office Depot
$798.00 for the Polaroid 42" Widescreen Full HD 1080p LCD HDTV - an Early Bird Item for a limited time only at Wal-Mart
So, if you're looking for a widescreen, flat panel, plasma, HD TV set... the upcoming Black Friday sales specials might be your best bet!
