I was hoping for a 24, 26, OR 30 inch TV for my son's room, possibly with a built-in dvd player, (considering I don't want those 2 brands) do you think I can find one of those on BF or before at a great price?
I'd like to pay between 100 and 150 tops with or without the dvd....

Doing research I think I wanna stay away from Westinghouse & Samsung.

Sony has a 24 inch 3D 1080p 120hz monitor for 179.99, best deal on the market IMO. It has built in speakers and comes with one set of 3D glasses.

these have had poor reviews with regard to reliability. i bought one from best buy with an extended warranty for that reason. have been very happy with it. no problems despite daily use.

Didn't realize it. I bought mines at launch, and had no issues whatsoever. With that said, I'm looking at getting a 42 inch Vizio 3D in a few weeks.

Best Buy's deal of the day is a 42" plasma for $290. The panel is supposed to be Samsung. It looks and sounds great and has as many inputs as I have seen on a TV. Shipping is free for those with smaller cars. Four year protection plan is $100. Return/price adjust is 30 days, so you should know what BF deals will look like in time to return this if something better comes up.I to need to get at leas a 32in tv this year and have never bought one on BF. I may just put one on layaway at walmart just so I can avoid the madness on BF. That's one item I don't want to spend my entire BF night waiting in line to get.

Thanks everyone for your input. I lost my paper
with my info on it but I believe best deal I saw so far was a 22 inch w/dvd player for 178.oo but I can't recall where or the brand... Son has limited space/outlets in his room, didn't want another player there/more wires...power strips, etc.
IMO, any HDTV with DVD player is worthless as a DVD player will not capture the full effect of the HDTV. You would be better off getting a stand alone Blu-Ray refurb.

I disagree. Most DVD players upconvert very nicely. I suspect the ones that come as part of an HDTV package do. Keep in mond, too, that many people already own a lot of DVDs.

I'm not talking about just up converting , I'm talking about the entire Blu-Ray expirence.

I have a Olevia that I bought from Kmart on Thanksgiving day probably 5 years ago that still works great. DH has a Samsung in the man cave that has lasted 3 years so far. DD has a Sansui that santa brought her two years ago that also works great.
We too bought an Olevia at Kmart on Black Friday, 5 to 7 years ago and it is still going great. I think the company is out of business now, but we certainly feel that we have gotten our monies worth.

I agree. A cheap blu-ray player (for $50) is better than upconverting (which most BD players can do also) a DVD. You can still play all of your DVDs (and upconvert) on it so you don't lose anything. Plus, you can expand your library with some high picture/sound quality movies (Star Wars & Batman come to mind

Hello Everyone, I was wondering if anyone have heard that Kmart will have a 32in Proscan tv for $99 for Black Friday?
Did you hear this or just hoping?

That would be nice because I want to get 2 tvs for my kids.

Actually I have a family member that works there..and shipping & recieving was having a meeting and she slighty overheard. She wasnt sure but she thought she heard the lead telling the guys that they will be soon getting a truck but the 32in Proscan $99 tv are to be locked up in a different area for black friday.
