A lot of HDTVs are coming packed with 3D features these days. Of course, those TVs are also great for viewing 2D content. However, some people just aren't interested in having a 3D TV or don't want to pay for the perk. Thankfully, there are plenty of 2D TVs still out there. In fact, we're seeing some of the newer models on sale right now.
Amazon is currently discounting one of those newer HDTVs and it's a big one -- with a big discount as well.
The online retailer has the Panasonic 55-inch TC-L55E50 1080p Smart LED HDTV in stock and ready to ship, for just $888. This discount is over $800 off the list price of this HDTV, and even includes free shipping. Find out more about this set and this discount on Amazon's product page:
As part of the E50 Series, this model doesn't do 3D. However, it is new for 2012 and has plenty of the perks you'd expect from a newer HDTV. For instance, it has Panasonic's new LED IPS (In Plane Switching) panels. That feature promises improved black levels and off-axis viewing, all while reducing on-mode power consumption by about 25 percent over last year's models.
This 55-incher also has a full 1080p HD image, as well as 360 backlight scanning, DLNA support and VIERA Connect. It even has four HDMI inputs and two USB ports. You may want to save one of the USBs to add WiFi into the setup, since this line offers that as an optional feature (via an add-on adapter).

Just remember that when purchasing this HDTV, you need to place your order with Amazon and not one of the retailer's third-party merchants. Amazon is offering the discounted price, as well as free Super Saver shipping and Enhanced Delivery service. This 55-incher is also eligble for the website's TV Low Price Guarantee, which means if you can find this exact set (same make, same model) within 14 days of the ship date, Amazon will refund you on the difference in price.
