The shopping season has officially started. Not to worry, though; there are still quite a few shopping days left until Christmas. That said, Walmart has set the bar pretty high with one of the best HDTV deals that we've seen so far.
The mega-retailer currently has the Samsung 43-inch PN43D430 720p plasma HDTV listed on its website for just $398. This is perfect if you're looking for a big HDTV, but have a small budget. Now, we should tell you that this price does not include the shipping cost. That will run you an extra $40 (although it may vary, depending on your location). If you want to save that extra bundle, the retailer will ship this HDTV to any local Walmart location and you can pick it up. That service is absolutely free. Find out more about Samsung's PN43D430 plasma on Walmart.com:
This 43-incher features a 1360 x 768 resolution and 600Hz subfield motion technology, which makes all of the fast-moving images smooth and clear. Other features include a fast 0.001 ms response time, a built-in digital tuner, and SRS TruSound HD sound.
If you're looking to add in some of your own content, this set has two HDMI inputs and the ConnectShare feature. ConnectShare allows users to connect a digital camera or an MP3 player right to the TV's USB port to view videos and photos or stream music, all to that larger setup.
One other notable feature is that the PN43D430 does have Samsung's Plasma Plus One Design. This means that the TV actually has an extra inch of screen versus using up that precious real estate on the bezel. In other words, there's more picture to enjoy in the same size cabinet as last year's 42-inch model.
Just remember that the above price does not include shipping cost. We found the average shipping cost to be about $40, but that may vary based on your area. If you want to save on the shipping, order the TV online and have the retailer ship it to your closest Walmart store, where you can pick it up yourself. That option is free!
