HDTV specials at Circuit City this week

Let's take a look at some of the many HDTV sets offered by Circuit City and featured in this weeks circular.

There are dozens of TVs featured, we will only spotlight a few of them. For the complete list, check the weekly ad listed below.

We start with the Element FLX2611B 26" LCD HDTV at $450 and without any rebates needed. You can also take advantage of a current Circuit City promotion where you receive 0% interest for 12 months when you make a purchase of $299 or more. Be sure to check the terms and conditions of course.

The Element 26" LCD has a 720p resolution, HDMI input, PC connectivity, 16:9 aspect ratio, ATSC and NTSC tuners, along with the usual assortment of features at this price level.




Moving on to the 32" size, the Vizio 32" LCD HDTV, model VX32LHDTV10A is offered at $630 and no rebates! This Vizio has 2 HDMI inputs, 720p resolution, 8ms response time, zoom and freeze function, virtual surround sound, NTSC, ATSC and QAM tuners (nice!), 16:9 aspect ratio, 1200:1 contrast ratio, 178 degree viewing angle, and a weight of 33 pounds.




Staying at 32", we have the Sony 32" Bravia M-Series LCD HDTV, for $800, without any rebates. This is Sony model KDL32M3000. It has 720p resolution, two HDMI inputs, 8ms response time, 3D Comb Filter, 1000:1 contrast ratio, an ATSC, QAM and NTSC tuner giving you flexibility for analog, over the air digital and unscrambled cable tuning directly from the television set. It even has a PC Input so you can work on your laptop and view the results on a 32" screen instead of a tiny 13" screen :) Weight is 31 lbs, or 36 lbs if you use the optional bse.

As you can see, there is a $170 price difference between the Sony and the Vizio above. It may come as a surprise that the price difference is not even higher. Not that we can complain about lower prices. The lower the better :) We do not have a recommendation as to which one to get, be sure to check the specs, and various discussions and reviews at the various audio-video forums. Two of our favorite A/V sites are AVSforum, and DSL Reports.

Moving along, we have a 50" Plasma HDTV for $1000! That's right, just $1000 gets you the Element PLX5002B 50" Plasma HDTV. Remember, this is PLASMA not LCD, like the ones mentioned above! It has 720p resolution, 2 hdmi inputs, 15000:1 contrast ratio, simulated surround sound, digital comb filter, a trio of tuners (ATSC, NTSC, QAM), PC Input, 16:9 aspect ratio like just about all new TVs, as well as detachable stand and full-function remote control for those who don't want to fuss with those programmable remote controls. Weight is 110 lbs. Circuit City is also offering a combo meal with this: For an extra $150 you can get a wall mount and an hdmi cable. Fries not included :)
