Just because your TV doesn't have access to the web or streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, Hulu Plus, Facebook and more doesn't make it a "dumb" TV. Well, technically, in the world of consumer electronics, it does. We really do love every HDTV, though. And more importantly, we think it's a smart move buying one of these web-free TVs on a day like Cyber Monday.
That's because today, we are seeing a lot of these sets on sale. Sure, they don't have all of the bells and whistles that you see on a lot of newer sets, but they also don't have the price tag that accompanies a lot of those features.
The latest TV deal we found was on one of these models, Samsung's 50-inch UN50EH5000 LED 1080p HDTV. This set normally sells for $899.99, but today, Amazon has it for just $459.99, which also includes free shipping. That means you'll save $440 (almost 50 percent!). Pretty smart, eh? Find out more about this TV on Amazon's product page:
This model can deliver eye-popping 1080p images, with a 60Hz panel with Clear Motion Rate 120 processing. Other perks include Wide Color Enhancer Plus technology, the Eco light sensor for calibrating on-screen brightness based on your room's lighting, and ConnectShare Movie for playing videos, music or photos from a USB device.
And sure, it doesn't have any of the "smart" features you may want, but that doesn't mean you have to go without. This TV does have two HDMI inputs and one USB port, which should be plenty to accommodate something like a Roku box or a web-enabled Blu-ray player. In fact, you can even score streaming via the Google ChromeCast, which is on sale today for just $22.99!
As with all of Amazon's Cyber Monday deals, you want to make sure that you are making your purchase directly from Amazon and not one of the retailer's third-party merchants. They are the one discounting this set, as well as offering free Super Saver shipping as an option. (Just make sure to choose that option during checkout, if you want it.)
