When is the best time to buy a TV?
Is now the best time to buy a TV?
So, you say to yourself, when is the best time to buy a TV? The self probably doesn't have an answer, but CNET does. Just in case you're wondering, we'll give you a preview: Maybe now, maybe later -- it all depends on who you are and what you want. Does that help?
"Now," or less specifically, "after the Christmas buying season, around the Super Bowl, and before the new TVs come out," is indeed a great time to get a bargain price on many TVs from last year. Retailers are making room for the new 2011 TVs, the earliest of which are scheduled to arrive later in February, by lowering prices on the 2010 models.My advice: If you've been waiting for the best price on a 2010 TV, now's the time to buy. If you are worried about a 2011 TV delivering significantly better 2D picture quality, don't be, because it probably won't. We saw no major innovations in our 2011 preview that scream "Wait!" to most mainstream buyers..."
