when is the best time of year to buy a big screen tv?

December and January are historically the best times to buy big screen TVs (in the US). College bowl games and then the Superbowl. Obviously, the Superbowl makes January really busy for TV sales. Also, you'll get good delivery options as well since all the retailers will be promising delivery before certain gamedays.

And if you are planning on getting a flat screen, don't be afraid to go with a lesser known brand. As long as you do some research (TV forums are the best place to find info) and get a set that has good specs and performance, you'll save a ton of money and the quality will be the same if not better. When you get your year-end bonus. After x-mas fathers day

or super bowl time. IN SUMMER . BECAUSE IF U DO BUY IT WINTER IT MAY RAIN ON THE TV IN UR WY HOME

LOL Boxing Day right after christmas holiday season.. christams .. new year and also at the end of the financial year. Although keep an eye out for new technology advances.. When a new model comes out the older one a month later drops in price. ALso bargain with them.. we just bought an LCD and grabbed 300 off for just asking about it. During a clearance sale (stock clearance, winter clearance sale), when it is at least 5 months old, or whenever there are no important celebrations around. Believe me. It doesn't really matter what time of the year it is. Check around at stores and wait for them to have sales. It's better to be patient and save money in certain situations. As for me, I just bought an 1100 dollar plasma not to long ago for my room at best buy. I didn't wait for any special time of the year. I just got it because it makes for a nice addition to a house and they last for many years. When you have enough money and have nothing else to do with it. when everything is on sale and you have the budget for it. Inventory sales or after christmas is a good time. yesterday The last few days of ANY month
