HDTV Deal: LG 55-inch 55LE5500 1080p LED TV: $1099 (Save $1700)

By Rachel Cericola

New TVs are taking over retail shelves as we speak (er, type). It's time to get the older stuff out (and by "older" we mean the 2010 models), which means huge savings for you. Don't fret, however. Just because it's last year's HDTV doesn't mean that it's already out of date.

Take LG's 55-inch 55LE5500 LED HDTV. OneCall just announced that they are dropping the price on this 1080p LED HDTV, which has a list price of $2799.99. With the retailer's discount, you can save a whopping 61 percent off that usual price: it's now just $1099.00. Find out all of the details on OneCall's website:

It may be last year's model, but the 55LE5500 definitely offers plenty of "modern" TV conveniences. Besides the full 1080p HD image, this LED TV comes packing LG's NetCast service, which delivers movies, music, web videos, news, and much more, all via the included remote. Just a few of NetCast's partners include Netflix, VUDU, Pandora, and YouTube - all our streaming media favorites.

Also, because it's an LED TV (LED lit LCD), it boasts a gorgeous and bright image in a slim energy-efficient package. Featuring LG's own LED Plus technology, this TV offers control over brightness via local dimming. That feature alone is worth the price of admission as it means the TV can do bright whites and deep blacks at the same time, avoiding some of the picture uniformity issues (lighting hotspots) that you can find in standard edge-lit LED TVs.  Other features include TruMotion 120Hz technology for clear reproduction of moving images, wireless connectivity (via the optional AN-WF100 Wireless USB Adapter), and Picture Wizard II calibration features. Also, the 55LE5500 has four HDMI inputs, so you can hook in your Blu-ray player, streaming media player, a receiver and/or any other important A/V necessities.

According to OneCall, there are a fixed number of these left in in stock, and they're not getting any more, so you'd better act quickly.
