3D Arrives!


Today we posted our first ever 3D TV deal on dealnews. It's for Samsung's 7000 Series, which were announced last month at CES. (There's no ship date, but the TVs are available for pre-order.)

A few weeks ago I stated why I'm anti 3D, and this chart here is yet another reason. Based on the LCD TV deals we've listed here at dealnews, it shows what you can expect to pay for a 42" LCD HDTV in the following categories (listed below). See that purple star all the way up top. (Click on the chart to enlarge.) That's the entry-level price for a 40" 3D LCD TV. Ouch! So here's where the prices stand (as of Feb 10) for a 42" set.

42" 1080p LCD HDTVs
60Hz: $499
120Hz: $700
240Hz: $999
LED-backlit: $999
3D: $1,800

(42" Plasma: $515)
