The flat panel TV industry follows an annual launch calendar and right now is a good time to purchase a TV if you want to save money. The manufacturers are gearing up for the new 2011 products in a few weeks and that means that they are selling their 2010 models at heavily reduced prices.Save money on current model
The TV manufacturers follow an annual product cycle which means that each year in January the new products are unveiled and a few months later the products will be in stores.
It also means that the manufactures need to sell all the current models to make room for the new ones, and that’s why you can save money on many TVs in these weeks.
Therefore you need to shop now to save money if you don’t care about the newest technology. Some models are already sold out but most are selling at huge discounts compared to the introduction prices. Some models will still be available when the new models arrive but there’s no guarantee and end of February until medio March is the best time to shop flat panel TVs in our experience.
FlatpanelsHD made a list with recommended TVs with good value-for-money back in January. This list is still valid and we have re-posted it here for you.
The list:
42” Panasonic G20:
Panasonic's most popular and best-selling model is the G20/G25 that has been recommended by many review sites because of great picture quality and a great value-for-money ratio. The price on this model has also dropped considerably in 2010 and we consider this TV one of the best deals at the moment.
