The perfect Black Friday consumer is the one who has a TV at home that is outdated, has visual artifacts, or does not interact ideally with local cable or wireless systems. For example, if all your neighbors have great wi-fi and you don’t, their internet plan or performance might outperform yours. But their devices might be enabled for technical advantages your main home TV does not have.

Who should be shopping for an LCD TV on Black Friday? least one year old, too small for their vision, and is not wireless Internet capable, has no HDMI or personal computer connections, and has limited remote options for operation. The home consumer may want a thin screen television to better create room in the home theater space. Thinner LCD or LED screens have a smaller footprint and can entertain the kitchen cook or garage hobbyist affordably.

But there are other reasons to shuffle the home TV units around the floor plan. The main room for family TV watching may change in winter months to a cozier space for easier heating. Or if the college student in the family is headed off to school, they might want a small high quality LCD monitor for Internet-enabled voice over internet (VOIP) calls. This kind of device shuffling makes new prices for detailed option high performance LCD TV models tasty deals.

But drops in LCD prices may spell relief for those replacing an ailing TV unit or those intent on getting the best savings on early gaming or netbook gift purchases. And the best prices might be found for accessories like bracket mounts and TV stands, variable brand cables and game and movie titles. These are generally supplemented to accessorize the big TV sale prices in electronic store circulars.

Some experts claim there is currently an LCD “recession” on, with a quality high diagonal span TV screen already placed in just over 50% of homes. This is always going to be more true in some residential areas than others. Legacy “tube” televisions should be phased out to receive and translate and display the higher quality signal being broadcast from every satellite and cable company around.

Retailers match prices to existing geographic areas around their store. And depressed economic areas may have more motivationally priced TV deals than other more price insensitive areas. And accessories for LCD 3DTV television models may make up in price the dramatic price drops mentioned in electronics store sale ads. New HDMI cables and a hike in basic cable may expand the budget somewhat for new media TV access levels.

The best LCD TV customer cruising around for deals on Black Friday is one who finds a deep promotional discount on an LCD TV model they like the brand of. But ideally consumers should have the option to bring it back if something doesn’t work out. The return or exchange policy for many specially marketed or purchased bulk brand units specifically for the Black Friday sale may not be returnable without a 25% restocking fee.

Go CVS for a Netbook Deal!

I have said it before and I’ll say it again, some of the best LCD TV deals happen when you aren’t looking! CVS has holiday and home gift ideas  that loyal CVS customers could save even more on! If this sounds like an advertisement, please know that I was actually impressed with the quality of the electronics and reviewed them in-store, and that this recommendation is made for no consideration.

Instead, I am excited about a Sylvania netbook at CVS with a seven inch TFT screen. This is the right fit between a tablet and a mobile phone. But the CVS netbook is going out the door for $90-odd bucks. But at CVS, you always get these Bonus Buck Extra Buck receipts for dollars off your next purchase. And with giftcard incentive offers and extra percentage off promotions, the price will go even lower. The processor is an Intel compatible ARM.

CVS is currently featuring an extra 20% off everything for the next two days. If a customer were to transfer a prescription and gain the $25 giftcard, then feasibly a $94 netbook could be reduced to $70, and then with 20% off that, the final taxable price would be about $10 less. That’s $60 for a gift unit or around-the house extra blogging machine. This unit is ONLY 2 pounds, making it the lightest mainline netbook around.
I looked at the box specs for this model. This Sylvania netbook at CVS is Internet capable, but the memory is only 128K with internal storage of 4 gigabytes.  That is lower than most software and operating systems and browsers can work with.  But the settings can be enabled to deliver email without flash video and other add-ons which require additional memory. The shipping weight is 4 pounds, and I advise picking it up in person. CVS lists it online at $99, but I’m sure I saw it in-store for $94 or $97.

This makes a a great “dumb terminal”, what many people use older computers for now. The TFT display is not what most people are used to in a new computer. But 3 USB ports isn’t all bad. That’s connectivity to a printer, a network line to another computer, or video outlet. Windows CE may run some interactive fax apps as well. But I would urge this as a perfect replacement for those awful dinosaur computers many people still have.

But for a standalone PC with wi-fi networking capability for file transfer, this makes an outstanding model for kitchen or living room, an extra keyboard with emergency Internet capability. The Windows CE Professional version is the operating system. The product notation for this Sylvania netbook is Customer/Technical support via email at dgsupport@digitalgadgets.com or available by calling 1-888-571-0866.

The CVS staff I spoke with said they had been returned a lot, and I can see why. People probably didn’t check out the specs on the back of the box or didn’t know enough to recognize which apps wouldn’t run on this small scale device. But if you’re out and about, why risk your “big money” device on virtual networks with viruses and other stuff?Why wear down your costly laptop with coffee shop outings?

My ideal use for a device like this would be as an alternate keyboard option for TV tray usage or spare internet portal if my main one failed.  The Sylvania netbook deal makes it a perfect always-on standby device for ongoing projects or planning. I would put this model at the very top of my list for after Christmas shopping or closeout checking back. For extra gadget productivity, i.e., “everybody needs the computer at once”, this model will get some family use mileage.

This netbook is hardly capable of playing the massive multiplayer game software most kids want, nor is it capable of loading hourlong streaming video at all or loading continuous threaded Windows 9.0 apps. I am not sure it could load Itunes. But I wouldn’t recommend using it for those.  I would recommend this Sylvania netbook as a practical home or work desktop replacement with a small portable footprint.

Believe it or not, many people are still capable of producing work like writing, text and files without internet access and content enabling. Data entry, address book additions, or basic thoughts and journal writing can happen with a netbook like this. Writing the novel will happen a lot faster without the distractions of the Internet. And maybe for the guest room a survival email device would be nice for hospitality.

For a family with multiple kids in school, using this netbook as a portable report writing accessory at the library could be a real help. Brainstorming and minutes taking are perfect for this. This model isn’t valuable enough to get stolen, but provide value when needed. For a senior citizen who wants to write their life story or have a blogging help in the comfy den instead of the “setup” at another part of the house, files can be saved using smart card technology and transferred.

Sylvania is a long time brand known to many. For those consumers who feel they can pass on this deal, remember that the day when you next have a computer virus wipe out your Internet access, you have to finish the report by the next day, five people need to use the computer for three hours, or the programming on your main computer gets screwed up enough to take for repair.

Dropping $79 on a spare computer will look like a walk in the park on that day.

Amazon Tax-Free Saves a Slice

Amazon might be the right place for your upcoming LCD TV purchase due to shaved tax charges and no tax costs in some states.  What sets Amazon apart is a tax free shopping option. This is based on the model of internet business that supports no tax charged for goods bought online from Amazon.com, since their main business presence is only in states with warehouses and physical workplaces and employees.

Great brands prices and savings make Amazon the LCD TV shopping bookmark of choice. Any Amazon.com LCD TV that qualifies for free shipping could really shave a double slice of savings discounts on a single purchase LCD TV or HD TV. Individual web users should consult their tax attorneys if they choose to take a deduction on large dollar TV purchases or other web vended items.

Shipping plus tax for state and local televisions of any size could be as much as 20% of the total. But what points a consumer to Amazon as their LCD TV best buy for the holidays is the combination of choice, savings, shipping free, return policy and tax free purchase cost together. Tech savings make the best stocking stuffer.

It might be wise to act fast, as some states (like Colorado) have enabled a web tax for goods like Amazon shipped wares. Texas says Amazon.com owes almost $270 million in tax. Washington state charges tax as Amazon.com has in-state office there, and residents will see the tax reflected in the total before paying.

And some other states may have passed laws, albeit somewhat unenforceable ones, on Amazon.com specific or online purchases with respect to state or local taxes. But online purchasers will not see the tax in the checkout for appropriate states. Consumers should research individual tax liability ahead of time, as Amazon holds no liability in and of itself.

Black Friday could see some web-only purchase deals n LCD TV or HD TV computer monitor or gaming packages.  End of year LCD TV closeouts could really go for low prices. Most of these type of purchases will be eligible for Super Saver Shipping. Amazon honors many gift certificates and perhaps Santa may be advised that Amazon in the Christmas stocking wouldn’t go amiss.

One purchase for example might be the Black Gloss Toshiba 720p 32-inch model, or a LG or Samsung LCD. There is a beautiful   Panasonic LCD TV for $344.57 . Model features an Ipad dock, and comes with a Super Saver type free shipping promotion, and 30 day return policy.

Don’t forget to review terms of service and check online for additional discount coupons. Amazon.com may have some price matching policies in place, consumers are advised to read the fine print for all transactions carefully. Daily updates and new models added could mean your dream LCD TV model or home theater entertainment device is only one or two clicks away!
