Cyber Monday Sales: Top 5 LED TV Deals

By Rachel Cericola

In honor of Cyber Monday, everyone at Big Picture Big Sound is kicking back in pajamas and surfing the web. Of course, in between our Facebook lurking and video games, we're finding a ton of great HDTV deals!

It can be a pretty scary process. However, we're here to help, and also to narrow down our Top 5 LED HDTV Deals.

LED boasts bright, more energy-efficient images than other types of HDTV technologies. Of course, not all LED HDTVs are created equal. More importantly, not all of them are priced equal. That's the rub, people! That's why we went through all of the LED HDTVs currently on sale, and found five of our favorite bargains.

Before you start shopping, we wanted to mention that these are all name brands, sold by authorized dealers. Maybe you can find a no-name brand for super-cheap. That's great and all, but that's not always a guarantee for performance or customer service! We know that you won't get burned with any of the ones below. Read on to get product and pricing info, as well as which retailers are currently offering free shipping as part of the discounted price.

Features include a full 1080p HD image, built-in ATSC/QAM/NTSC tuners and three HDMI inputs. The TV also boasts energy-efficiency, via Sharp's own AQUOS LED system, which features the X-Gen LCD panel and UltraBrilliant LED. Last, but certainly not least, this model has 120Hz Fine Motion Enhanced technology, the Vyper Drive game mode, and the promise of 20 percent more screen area.
