Deal of the Day: 32-inch HDTV for under $300

Target

Flat-screen, HDTV prices have hit record lows this holiday season because of an overabundance of supply. But finding a 30-inch plus system for under $300 since Black Friday has been tough until now.

In its flier over the weekend, Target included a 32-inch Westinghouse flat-screen LED HDTV for $275. The regular price at the retailer is $389.99; and the lowest price I could find for the unit was from eBay for $340. The deal is available in stores only, and the flier specifies that quantities are limited.

Keep in mind that a low price tag may not be the only reason to choose one HDTV over another. It's wise to take some time and do some research on what's available out there; and check out this story on HDTV buying tips published last month on msnbc.com.

This holiday season, we’re sorting through dozens of websites, Twitter feeds and Facebook pages to find a standout deal every day that can save you a bunch of money. Check back daily for our latest updates and share your shopping tips in the comment section below.

Best Buy has a 32" Toshiba at $299.00 ... only 720p but a great deal for a brand name.....

Agreed. Retailers are quick to discount low-quality items. And it's hard to determine what unit has a descent viewable picture and which has grainy resolution b/c they run their own programming or are showing a Bluray movie.

If you don't mind risking some quality for a cheaper price --- the Westinghouse HDTV is for you. Otherwise pay the extra $30-$50 for a brand you trust.

    For the size of the television 720p is perfectly fine. You will not see much improvement with a 1080p TV at that size.

    I do agree that the brand name is more important than anything else. I didn't even realize that Westinghouse was selling HDTV's so I would probably avoid it.

        HHGregg has always been my goto place for the best deals. The sales clerks are friendly and informative without being pushy and "salesy". I did my homework online first and went in with an idea of what i was looking for. I just bout 2 TVs for Christmas and the 22 was 199 and the 32 was 279. They weren't brand names, but for an extra 20 a piece I bought extended warranties that covers all repairs and replacement for 3 hrs. I am very pleased.

          I suspect that this is a 3 YEAR extended warranty - but the "3 Hours" was great for a laugh!!!

          Merry Christmas!!!
