Top 5 LCD TV Deals for Cyber Monday 2011

By Rachel Cericola

Not everyone has the cash for all of the bells and whistles of 3D TV or even plasma and LED. Thankfully, there are plenty of LCD HDTV selections still on sale today -- and frankly, a lot of them are quite good.

LCD used to be the must-have TV technology. Well, that's because plasma was just too darn expensive. Flash-froward and LED has sort of stolen LCD's thunder, as of late. However, your old friend is still alive, and pretty kicking, actually. Plenty of brand name companies still release tons of LCD (liquid-crystal display) HDTVs every year. Although they aren't as energy-efficient as LED and don't have the flash of plasma, this is where the true bargains can be found.

Looking for a reason to get HDTV into every room in the house? We've got five of them. Read on to see our 5 of the Best LCD TV Deals for Cyber Monday below.


Sharp-LC32SV29U_1.jpg
Sharp 32-inch LC32SV29U 720p LCD TV: $249.99

This is an insanely low price for any TV, let alone a Sharp HDTV. Perfect for the bedroom, man cave, playroom or wherever else you want to hang a little HD, this set features an HDTV resolution of 1366 x 768, built-in ATSC/QAM/NTSC tuners, three HDMI inputs, and a component video input. If you want to add a little bling to your home office, this set also has a D-sub 15-pin input for PC compatibility.

If you decide to place this TV in an office or other desktop space, it does come with its own table stand. Of course, the set is just as easy to mount on a wall, with the proper wall-mount bracket.


TCL-L32HDF11TA.jpg
TCL 32-inch L32HDF11TA 720p LCD TV: $249.99

This 32-incher doesn't have the brand recognition of some of our other selections. However, it does very well on Amazon. In fact, at last peek, it was number two on the retailer's top 10 TV sellers. It doesn't have 1080p or web features. It's just a solid HD set, with a 1366 x 768 pixel resolution and 178-degree viewing angles. It's also a pretty nice way to get your other AV components into an HD setup, with three HDMI inputs, one composite and one component input, a PC input, and a USB port.

When buying this set, make sure to buy directly from Amazon -- and not one of the retailer's third-party merchants. That way, you get the discounted price, free shipping and free 30-day returns.


Samsung-LN32D403_1.jpg
Samsung 32-inch LN32D403 720p LCD TV: $277.99

There are a few retailers offering this one at a discount. However, don't think that it won't sell out! After all, this is a brand name HDTV with a 720p HD image. Perfect for smaller rooms in the house, the LN32D403 also has a USB port and ConnectShare features, SRS TheaterSound, two HDMI inputs and one component input.

Cyber Monday is coming to a close, which means that this deal won't last for much longer! If one retailer runs out of stock, check the others listed below.


LG-42LK450.jpg
LG 42-inch 42LK450 1080p LCD TV: $497

Here's where things get really good. Not only does this LG model bulk up the screen size to 42 inches, but it has a full 1080p HD image as well. It also has the Intelligent Sensor to optimize the picture based on the lighting and color conditions in the room. Other features include Picture Wizard II and ISFccc calibration, one USB port and three HDMI inputs.

Like the above TCL model, make sure you buy this set through Amazon, not one of the retailer's third-party merchants. That way, you get the discounted price, free shipping, free 30-day returns, and Amazon's TV Low Price Guarantee.


Sony-KDL55BX520_1.jpg
Sony 55-inch KDL55BX520 1080p 120Hz LCD TV: $899.99

Our last LCD selection is a big one. This is Sony's 55-inch KDL55BX520. As part of Sony's BRAVIA brand, this set has a full 1080p HD image. Other features include a quick response time and MotionFlow 120 Technology to help display smooth images on sports, action flicks, and more. This one also has LightSensor, an integrated technology that can automatically dim the backlight depending on your room's lighting conditions.

If you want to add in an MP3 player or digital camera, this set has a USB port. Of course, other AV components are also welcome here, with four HDMI inputs, as well as connections for component video and a PC input.
