Saving Money While Looking For a New TV

By Jason Thomas

There are so many advances in technology every year that it is almost impossible to keep up with it all. Just when you think that you have just purchased the latest and greatest cell phone, a whole new generation comes out and blows your phone out of the water. This is important when it comes to a device that needs to keep up with the latest software updates and the latest service from the phone providers, but certain things don't need to be the latest release to be good.

You don't have to go out and buy the newest 50 inch LCD television to get a great home entertainment experience. Sure, they look and sound great, but for the thousands of dollars that they cost, they better sound and look great. TV's are just like anything else that change each season. Just like when the new car models come out or the new fall line of cloths is released, it is the perfect time to pick up last years model or style.

TV's are exactly the same and when the newest of the new are released, there is nothing wrong with saving a few bucks and checking out the older models. They still offer great HD experiences, but at a fraction of the cost. Make sure that they are on sale because the new models are out and not because they are just crappy TV's. You can check rating and review online to see what other customers say about that particular product.

You might even be able to sweeten the deal by picking up a floor model. Normally I wouldn't suggest getting an extended warranty on anything consumable like a TV, but when you buy a floor model it might be worth it to get one. That way you are protected a little bit longer and the money you spend on the extended warranty is more than made up on what you saved by going with the floor model in the first place. Just a thought.

It is possible to upgrade your existing TV to an HDTV, while not breaking the bank in the process. As HDTVs become more and more common, the price has already started to come down. If you then look at models that are being phased out by the manufacturer, for newer models, you can save even more money while greatly improving the quality of your televisions picture and sound. - 32388
