In the market for a new TV? Walk into an electronics store to see what there is to offer, and you might find yourself getting a little confused. Not only is it harder to choose the right TV these days, it can be even harder to find a cheap TV that suits your needs once you figure out what they are. If you are just looking for an extra television to put in a bedroom or kitchen, you will usually find that cheap TVs abound, as long as you aren’t looking for anything fancy. However, when it comes to buying a television for a main viewing room such as the living room, family room, or den, you might want to go for one of the more technologically advanced models. It will take a little more time and effort if you want to find a cheap wide screen TV or a cheap LCD TV, but taking that time and effort is worth it.

Looking for a TV bargain

Most people don’t usually equate the term “cheap TV’s” with the more technologically advanced models like the plasma or LCD televisions. When compared to the simple “tube” type of televisions, plasmas, LCD’s, and HDTV’s are significantly more expensive. Even if you find a place that sells, for example, cheap LCD TV’s, you are still going to see much higher price marks than you’d see on the same size tube televisions. For this reason, if you are looking for one of the more modern televisions, you have to keep in mind that you are still going to pay a higher price than you would for a tube television, even if you are getting a great deal.

Where to look for a cheap TV

All of this having been said, however, you can still get some great deals on the TV of your dreams. Logging on to the Internet and using a good search engine can bring up some websites that can offer some bargain prices on some of the better televisions that are out on the market. Internet auction websites are great places to look for a deal on a good plasma or LCD TV, even if you just want to buy one locally. When doing a search on an Internet auction website, you can simply put in your preferences, such as “within 10 miles of me”, and the website will show you a list of sellers who may have what you want and live close to you. Many discount electronics websites will also sell you a TV without charging you a shipping fee. If you can get a significant discount and no shipping fee (and with a warranty), it can be well worth it to order from one of these websites.
