Update-Mitsubishi Prices Added 8/22
Models Added and Correction Made- 8/20
In a perfect storm of flat panel vendor oversupply, slow retail sales and the start of the “TV selling season†(Aug 24), large screen HDTV flat panel prices are dipping again with manufacturers cutting retails up to $300 (with instant rebate). These new lower prices come hot on the heels of the last decrease, which occurred less than seven weeks ago.
All these new prices are on the latest 2008 models and come just in time for the start of the 2008-2009 TV and football seasons and the Baseball post-season games.
Industry sources report new pricing on HDTVs from Samsung, Sony, Mitsubishi and Panasonic. A number of other HDTV vendors are expected to react quickly, to hold onto their respective market shares.
The HD GURU® has obtained the price changes for Samsung LCD HDTVs. These prices are MAP (manufacturer’s minimum advertised price) Pricing from the other vendors will be posted as they come in, so please check hdguru.com often for updates.
Remember, these are manufacturers “MAP” pricing, actual “street” prices will usually be much lower.
