Eh? Those prices are way off. Premium (Samsung, Sony, Panasonic) 32" LCD TVs are going for $500-600 right now (including shipping). 36" is a bit more.

That was a typo, which I've now fixed. It should say 32 inches. Thanks for catching!

An electronics chain in northern NJ had a Sharp 32 inch HDTV on sale on Black Friday for $383.

My two adult sons got in line at 4 A.M. and when the store opened at 6 they each bought one.

I've been following TV Deals on TechDealDigger.com, which seems to really focus on TV deals. Last week I got a Panasonic Viera TH-42PZ85U 42 Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV for $865 with free shipping and no tax. They also have some phenomenal deals on LCDs
