2010 Walmart Cyber Monday TV Sales Ad Released in Early November - Vizio, Samsung and Philips HDTVs

Over the last several years it has been the case that more and more Americas are looking to take advantage of Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales and deals. By doing research many customers are finding that they can get a HDTV at a very low price by simply being patient and waiting for these very popular TVs to go on sale. WalMart is the largest retailer in the world and they often offer great discounts when it comes to TVs on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Before making any assumptions on what TVs will be in the ad paper it would be a good idea to look at past sales and see which companies were included.

WalMart has relationships with many television companies but the deals and sales that are offered on Cyber Monday tend to be quite consistent. When WalMart is buys these TVs in bulk it is usually done months beforehand and the lower prices are set even before the summer. With this being the case many customers will be able to gauge what types of TV sets will be on sale by simple seeing which parts of the shelves at WalMart of the most full.

Many WalMart locations make sure to keep the overstock TVs in the back but you will likely see many stacks of merchandise start to come out at most major retailers. By simply looking towards the ceiling of WalMart, Best Buy or Target over the next few weeks you will find many of the Christmas items that are sure to be on sale during the big sale events of the year which often take place on Black Friday or Cyber Monday. Cyber Monday makes things a little bit easier as customers will not have to deal with the crowds like they will on the Friday after Thanksgiving.

As Christmas gift ideas are very popular during the next few months it will be the case that many people start to think about buying a TV for the man in their life. Saving some extra money on this TV purchase could help quite a bit when it comes to paying the bills during the holiday season. With WalMart often offering great discounts it might be the cheapest place to find a HDTV from Vizio, Samsung or Philips during the 2010 holiday shopping season. It would also be a smart decision to check out the sales and deals from Target, Best Buy and HH Gregg.

Philips Unveils New 100 Inch Super-Sized Philips LCD TV Prototype

Philips introduced its newest prototype lcd tv prototype in Berlin in September, the site of this year's IFA technology conference. Philips most recent foray into LCD technology offers four-sided Ambilight technology and measures an amazing 100 inches.

With high-definition TV on the forefront of future technology, Philips has truly created a cutting edge product. This 100 inch, super-sized lcd tv isn't only special because of its size, but because of its Ambilight technology, currently Philips' most innovative product.

Ambilight technology, called Full Surround in the new 100-inch lcd tv, refers to a special form of backlighting with colors that change according to the program material and its corresponding pixel colors, called pixel plus 3HD processing. Ambilight works by creating a multi-colored, glowing halo around the edge of the TV screen. This reduces eyestrain and makes the LCD screen seem larger than it actually is, ultimately creating a more realistic picture.

In the new 100-inch Philips LCD TV prototype, the Ambilight technology occurs on all four sides of the screen instead of the traditional two-sided Ambilight technology found on the current LCD TV's; thus the name "Full Surround."

The Ambilight technology offers numerous options, even a solid white light that reflects the light show without the need for a white wall behind it. The actual system proffers setting and controls, like color, action, ambience, and movie.

For example, color mode allows you to set the light to change with the colors on the screen or set it at one color; the action mode allows the speediest response, and you can adjust brightness of Philip's Ambilight LCD technology via a light sensor or manually, according to your preference

The picture on the new 100 inch super-sized Philips LCD TV prototype is clearer than ever, and will be widely coveted upon its release; the bad news is that it only exists as a prototype at the moment, and probably won't be available to general consumers for awhile. Philips has not yet offered a release or distribution date.

In short, the IFA was Philips' way of showcasing its new HD technology and giving consumers and resellers a taste of coming trends in HD technology. The 100-inch LCD TV cements Philips position as a leader in the flat-panel LCD TV market and one of the best producers of cutting-edge home entertainment systems. The Ambilight technology is the icing on the cake of a truly innovative, high-end product that promises a far more dramatic, immersive viewing experience than anything currently on the market today.

With so much continually happening in the world of technology, where can you go to find everything you need? Check out all the latest high-definition TV's and cutting-edge home entertainment systems at http://www.Plasma-LCD-TV.co.uk

Best LCD TV - The Philips 42PFL8404

Hey everyone

Today's choice of review on best lcd tvs...The Philips 42PFL8404 LCD HDTV.

The Philips 42PFL8404 is a stunning piece of kit. It possesses a bezel that is less than one inch thick that pretends to placing all the emphasis on the picture but is really saying look at me....I'm beautiful! We have been so used to thick picture frame designs that it is certainly refreshing to see a minimalistic approach when designing an lcd tv.

So it looks great off, but whats it like when you turn it on?!

Unfortunately, for reasons unbeknown to me but probably as always based on price, the processing system is not the renowned "Perfect Pixel HD system" that has blown away all competition on the 9000 series. Instead we are given the "Pixel Precise HD". Now being able to speak English, I am immediately given the impression that what I am about to see is not going to be as good as the picture with the "Prefect Pixel HD system"...why....because in my world precise is never as good as perfect!!! Maybe something for the marketing bods at Philips to think about next time they are naming their products.

But all joking aside, the "precise" is not as good as the "perfect", it just can not quite deal with motion as its perfect brother! Dont get me wrong, its good, its very good..but its not perfect! The picture is incredibly sharp and detailed but the occasional picture lags and flickers do just enough to spoil the experience and ruin its chance of gaining the tag of best 42 LCD TV!

Now maybe I am being a little harsh when comparing the Philips 42PFL8404 to its more expensive brothers, because they are more expensive. A lot more expensive! The Philips 42PFL8404 was released at £1,100 which is a least half the price of an LCD in the 9000 series.

How about its connections? One word..comprehensive! What ever you need the Philips 42PFL8404 has! 4 HDMI's, 2 RGB Scarts, USB slot that plays virtually all multimedia file formats and even an Ethernet port to access Philips unique full Internet access. The only problem with all this option is they all had to be incorporated into the menu which means unfortunately the menu is a nightmare to navigate and change the specs to your suiting.

So what do I think of the Philips 42PFL8404? Best 42 LCD TV? Not quite....Its impressive....but only in some areas! It looks great, it has tonnes of features and connections and the picture is incredibly detailed. But at £1,100 I cant help feeling there should be something more...there just isn't that star quality that makes it stand out I'm afraid.

My recommendation...save up and buy a 9000 series with the "perfect" processing system!
