Get a 42-inch Olevia 1080 p HD LCD TV (model 242TFHD) at Target for $897 (regular $1,097).
Olevia isn't one of the more well-known brands out there, but I've been sold on the company since buying a 32-incher at Circuit City in August. Customer reviews about Olevia, although scarce regarding this particular model, have been generally favorable.
Not sure what you want or need? A handy-dandy guide News & Record's Tim Rickard created a few months ago sorts it all out.
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.
