The Best Buy 12/20 ad scan is now available. For anyone interested you check it out over at tvlampsnbulbs.com.
The real store is the sheer number of televisions they have advertised. After looking at the ad I spotted 40 television being advertised over the 32 page circular. That’s more than I’ve ever seen in most stores let alone being pushed by one company.

We’ve spoken frequently on this site about the LG 42PQ10, the highly affordable 42 inch plasma TV and wanted to share that if you want a little more out of your television you can get it for under $500.
The 42PQ30 and the 42PQ10 are very similar but there is one big difference. The 42PQ30 has 3 HDMI inputs where the 42PQ10 only has 2 inputs. Also, the 42PQ30 has a USB 2.0 port so you can view images or listen to music just by plugging a USB drive into the television.
At $499, the 42PQ30 is a great deal. Check out Boscovs to take advantage of this limited time price reduction.

One of the age old questions when deciding to buy a television is LCD or Plasma. In this debate one of the things to help decide comes down to viewing angle. This means that when you aren’t looking directly at the set, the picture is still able to be seen.
It turns out that when it comes LCD HDTVs, there are major differences when it comes to different brands and even different models within the same manufacturer. Some televisions boast 175 or 178 degree angle but the real definition is when you actually sit and watch it.
According to Consumer Reports, the best test is the couch test:
Stand 4 or 5 feet away from a 40- to 50-inch TV and move several feet to the left or right of center. That’s comparable to sitting at the end of a couch in front of the TV. See if the images start to look more faded, if the screen darkens a bit, or if the colors lose vibrancy. Move a little farther away from center to see what the picture would look like from a chair off to the side of the couch.
This phenomenon doesn’t exist when it comes to plasma televisions which gives it an advantage. There are issues with burn-in when it comes to plasmas but if you decide to buy one, make sure you know how to properly break it in.

The LG 42PQ10 is a 42 inch 720p plasma HDTV.
While a 1024 x 768 resolution is great for HD viewing, a 2,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio ensures sharp detail and nuanced colors. Further, a 600Hz Sub-Field Drive serves up smooth, lifelike motion especially when watching fast-action sports or movies. Not only does a high panel-brightness rating improve viewing in rooms with higher levels of ambient light, but two built-in HDMI inputs allow for advanced, single-cable audio and video connectivity.j
Vanns is currently selling the 42PQ10 for $484.

The two companies have come out to reiterate that they will be working together on some exciting backlight technologies. The goal is to share the costs to innovate and research in this department with the goal being televisions which are brighter, use less energy, and are able to be thinner.
It may be until mid-2011 before any benefits are seen from this partnership but using CCFL backlighting is a thing of the past with newer LCD television using as many LED backlights as possible. This kind of development means that the price point on these televisions should get closer to $1,000 as more and more manufacturers join in with their own product lines.
