Full HD TVs also known as 1080p TVs are have definitely arrived in the mainstream. While we still will see most bargain Black Friday TV deals feature HD Ready (720p) TVs, we will see much more 1080p TV deals compared to last year.
Last Black Friday the $198 32-inch Emerson HDTV from Walmart was the best bargain Black Friday TV deal. This was a 720p TV with 60Hz. The sweet spot for full HD TVs is a size around 40-inch. The best full HD TV deal on Black Friday 2010 was from Target. They offered the 40-inch Westinghouse VR4085DF 1080p HDTV for $298.
$298 is the base mark you should keep in mind when looking for 1080p HDTV deals. At these low prices of course you just get a TV without all the bells and whistles that more expensive TVs offer today including Internet and 3D.
1080p HDTVs also just make sense if you have a full HD media source like a Sony PS3, Blu-ray player or full HD TV service.
Because many consumers still do not need full HD, the most Black Friday TV deals feature still 720p TVs. The currently bestselling TV on Amazon is also a 720p Television. The Panasonic VIERA TC-L32C3 32-inch 720p HDTV sells for $313.72.
I predict that we will see several 40-inch 1080p HDTV priced under $350 this year. The $298 Target 1080p deal was the exception last year. Most 1080p 40-inch TVs sold for around $400.
