While most of the TV and HDTV deals you'll see this Black Friday and Cyber Monday are on LED/LCD TVs, there are still a few plasma TVs being offered. Videophiles prefer plasma technology for its deep dark blacks and rich, saturated colors. With Panasonic out of the plasma business, only LG and Samsung are left. And in terms of performance, Samsung usually offers the better plasma TVs. We found Samsung's 60-inch PN60F5300 on sale at BestBuy.com for a low $699.99 with free shipping. We predict that this will be one of the last great deals on a large high performance plasma HDTV .

Please note: Best Buy's web site appears to be having some problems currently (6:00 PM on Black Friday) so you might have to check back if this link does not work right away.
The 60-inch F5300 (full model number PN60F5300AFXZA) is a full HD 1080p panel with a 600 Hz sub-field drive for excellent motion reproduction (great for movies and sports). The smaller 51-inch F5300 set was one of Geoff Morrison's picks for best $500 TV last year over at the WireCutter.
The PN60F5300 includes an on-board HD tuner for local HD broadcasts, but does not include any Smart TV streaming features. We'd recommend pairing it with a Roku, Apple TV, streaming Blu-ray Player, gaming system or Google ChromeCast if you want to add streaming capabilities.
Price is current and the TV is in stock at the time of posting now but Best Buy may adjust pricing at any time. Also, stock may not last at this price.
