TV Deals: 42" 1080p LCD

So last month we looked at the cost of 42" 1080p LCD HDTVs ranging from 60Hz to 3D. For March, I'm happy for to report that prices have dropped across the board. The only category that saw a slight increase was the 42" 60Hz LCD category. (These TVs actually went up $40.)

That puts 120Hz LCDs at just $30 more than an entry-level 60Hz LCD. Obviously if you're in the market — you'll get more out of your money if you go 120Hz.

Meanwhile 240Hz TVs dropped $200 and LED-backlit LCDs dropped $100. 3D TVs remained obscenely high. So here's where the prices stand (as of April 7, 10) for a 42" set.

42" 1080p LCD HDTVs
60Hz: $539
120Hz: $569
240Hz: $799
LED-backlit: $899
3D: $1,800

(42" Plasma: $480)
