The full picture regarding deals on HDTVs

I recently posted a deal on a 42-inch Olevia HDTV at Target for $897, which is pretty darn good. Then I did a double-take when I came across an Office Depot ad showing what appeared to be the exact same model at an even cheaper price: $799.

But there's a difference, although you wouldn't know it by looking at the Office Depot ad. Conspicuously absent is the TV's resolution: 720 or 1080? The resolution, is, you guessed it: 720.

That's still a good deal, but you might get more bang for your buck in the long run by spending about $100 more for the 1080P version.
