The autumn HDTV selling season is in full swing. In an apparent first strike, Amazon has begun the battle to take more market share from Best Buy (BB), the nation’s largest seller of HDTVs. HD Guru obtained an early copy of Best Buy’s weekly circular and discovered Amazon (direct) currently beats Best Buy’s sales prices for next week (Sept. 25-Oct 1) with savings up to 20% off of the BB sale price and a total savings of up to 40% off the retail price. You only save 25% off retail on the same model at Best Buy. We list the 12 out of 13 models carried by both sellers below.
We recommend and affiliate (we may earn a small commission on referred sales) with Amazon because they have some of the best HDTV policies in the industry including a low price guarantee and free return freight. All listed models have free shipping by Amazon direct. Note: prices are correct as of posting and may change at any time, please verify with our links; Most states do not collect sales tax on Amazon orders [with the exceptions of CO, KS, KY, NY, ND & WA]. You always pay sales tax when buying at any brick and mortar store. Should you buy an HDTV on-line or from a retail store? Learn all the pros and cons in our article here.

Buying a TV from Amazon is easy. Today, set makers are packaging their TVs better than ever, knowing many models are shipped as single units to end users. More and more folks are choosing Amazon for their big screen HDTV purchases, because of its lower-than-store prices, convenience and policies that are better than what brick and mortar chains offer.
