HDTV Deals: Samsung UN55B8000 55" 1080p 240 Hz LED TV: $2399 (Save $1400)

By Rachel Cericola

Out with the old, in with the new! It's hard not to live by that statement when good TV deals are to be had. Amazon has a doozy right now, offering Samsung's massive 55-inch UN55B8000 for a fraction of the list price. The manufacturer prices this unit at $3799, but Amazon has it for $2399.99 with free shipping. Here's the link:

Wow. Now that's the type of savings we salivate over. Don't worry about the MAP price that's listed on the product page (over $2900!). If you add the unit to your shopping cart and begin the checkout process you will see the savings right before you confirm your purchase.  

Samsung's UN55B8000 uses an LCD panel lit up with Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) to make the 1080p magic happen. That cuts energy costs and helps reduce your carbon footprint. If you want to get selfish, it also allows the company to stuff a big, beautiful picture into a super-thin package.

This 55-incher also includes Samsung's Auto Motion Plus frame interpolation technology with an ultra-fast 240Hz refresh rate, a 5,000,000:1 mega dynamic contrast ratio, and Samsung's TOC (Touch of Color) sharp bezel design. Another nifty feature is support for Samsung's Internet@TV online content service, which provides on-screen access to Yahoo!, Flickr, YouTube and more at the push of a button.

Other features include a Game Mode, four HDMI inputs, a crystal neck swivel stand with Touch of Color, and a built-in library with photo art, games, workout routines, recipes and other content.

Please note that pricing is current as of 12/31/09 and the TV is currently in stock, but check the Amazon web site for current pricing and avaiability.
