Although TVs are moving from the old tube-style to the new slim-style -- as in LCD and Plasma TVs -- the prices are finally starting to reach a point that the newer (if they can be called that now) and slimmer TVs are very affordable to most of us. In fact, a 20" LCD TV can now be had for about $200 if you look hard and research carefully -- just 10 years ago it was the tube TVs of 20" that were $200. A decade really does make a difference.

Below are some of the best bargains for TVs -- of all sizes and types -- that I found from some of the major retailers. Wal-Mart and Target are in this list -- as they are the largest discount retailers -- and so are Circuit City and Best Buy, the nation's two largest consumer electronics retailers.

Looking for a new TV for the family of for a rather nice holiday gift? If you're brave enough to shove a few elbows this Friday (and Saturday, if anything is left), here are the bargains you'll come across:

Wal-Mart
20" flat-screen TV -- $69
42" Widescreen Plasma HDTV -- $988
32" LCD HDTV -- $598

Target
37" LCD HDTV -- $1097
19" LCD HD-Ready TV -- $179

Best Buy
15" LCD TV -- $130
42" LCD HDTV -- $999

Circuit City
52" Rear-projection HDTV -- $999
40" LCD HDTV -- $999

Among the leaks for TV and DVDs, K-mart's 19" Trutech LCD TV can be had for $179 (regular: $349.99). That is one heckuva bargain at nearly 50% off. So, go snatch up that new TV this Friday so you can relax (heh, that's funny) this holiday season -- possibly in HDTV-style.

How can Target say that the Nintendo DS lite will be a real steal at $129.99? I just bought 2 of them last week at best buy for 129.99 each. So if target is going to use that as one of its Door buster 5am deals, I know where im not going. This weeks ad also had Circuit City Charging the same price for the same product, but it also offered a free case for the game.

What a sweet buy on the HDTV from Walmart. My husband and I bought one a year ago and its an awesome picture, not to mention I love the floor space. He and I are talking that maybe Santa will bring us one for our bedroom. :)

Absolutely amazing. The problem is that you will have to be at
these
places at certain times and be the first, because these items will go
quickly. http://www.bayonacity.com is similar. http://www.bayonacity.com
is an online store that offers wholesale prices to the public. No
minimum to buy and shipping is $7.50 regardless of how much you buy.
Great quailty home & Garden items at very low prices. Products goes
fast, so you better buy while it's HOT.

I'm thinkin Pete has a financial interest in the site he has plugged in to each area of this Black Friday sneek-peek article. Come on Editors, take the self-promoting crap off of here. We are talking about NICE stuff, Not the Web's answer to Spencer Gifts.

And here I thought that Trutech was a target only brand and not at K-mart.
Could be wrong though
