Panasonic and J&R have teamed up to offer a couple of exceptional deals this Black Friday on VIERA HDTVs.  You can bring a Panasonic VIERA HDTV home in either a 32-inch LCD version or a 42-inch plasma, for a whole lot less than retail. 

While stock lasts, the 32-inch TC-32LX85 is on sale for $499 with free shipping and the 42-inch TH-42PX80U is just $599.99.  Here are the links:

Note: Both TVs are out of stock as of 10:45 PM on Friday at J&R, however, Sears.com has good deals on the 32-inch and 42-inch models (720p and 1080p), ending Saturday, November 29:

A running list of holiday HDTV deals can be found here:

Both VIERA HDTV models feature 720p high definition resolution as well as built-in digital (ATSC) tuners for use after the February, 2009 Digital Televition (DTV) transition.  They also include three HDMI ports for compatibility with the latest high definition source components such as Blu-ray Disc players and high def cable and satellite set top boxes. 

Additional Specs on the TC-32LX85:

Panasonic TC-32LX85 is an LCD widescreen TV that is HDTV capable and is the best value for size and price.

Share your JPEG photos taken with a Lumix or any SD-compatible Digital-Camera on your Panasonic LCD using the built-in SD card slot. Simply insert the SD card, which is about the size of a postage stamp, into the SD slot on the TV and enjoy a photo slideshow.
