After Christmas TV Sale: Sony 55-inch 3D 1080p LED HDTV: $1276.32 Shipped (KDL55EX720)

By Rachel Cericola

Did you get what you really wanted this year? Unfortunately, Santa didn't have enough room in his sleigh to bring HDTVs for everyone. Stop blaming the big man and start shopping for yourself. Amazon is making the New Year look bright, by offering up great HDTVs at affordable prices.

We just found Sony's 55-inch KDL55EX720 1080p 3D LED HDTV listed for $1296.32. In case you're keeping score, this 3D-capable HDTV originally listed for $2399.99 when it was first released. That makes this a nice discount, and it even includes free shipping. Take a peek for yourself on Amazon's product page:

Because this is an active 3D TV, the KDL55EX720 has a full 1080p HD image, for both 2D and 3D viewing. It also has a built-in 3D sync transmitter. That means you just need to add 3D glasses (and maybe even a Blu-ray 3D player) for 3D viewing right out of the box.

However, this also makes for a nice 2D TV, with Sony's X-Reality Engine, Edge LED backlighting, and Motionflow XR 240 technology all built right into the set. There are also options to connect to the web. If you don't have an Ethernet jack near your AV setup, just add in the optional UWA-BR100 adapter so you can hook this big boy up to your home's wireless network.

Whichever way you go, that networking is very important, since the KDL-55EX720 has a lot of awesome web-based features built into the set. Add it to your home network, and you can enjoy instant, on-screen access to services such as Qriocity, Netflix, Hulu Plus, YouTube, Pandora, and much more.

Of course, there are plenty of other ways to add in entertainment options, thanks to the TV's four HDMI inputs, one composite and one component input, a PC input, and two USB ports.

Just remember that when ordering this 3D TV, you need to buy directly from Amazon (not one of its third-party merchants). They are offering the discount, as well as free shipping on this model. A few other perks include free 30-day returns and Amazon's TV Low Price Guarantee. That means if you can find this set for less within 14 days of the TV's ship date, Amazon will refund you the difference on the price.
