Black Friday Sales Do Not Feature 3D TV

It seems like 3D is the big Technology news of 2010 but they are not featuring in the Black Friday TV sales 2010. There is always a wave form to technology, the cutting edge items that only a few people will buy are always at the top.

3D TV is currently at the top of that wave and that means that the companies are still pushing for the highest price they can get for each item. It is almost certain that the sales in 2011 and 2012 will feature many different models of 3D TV, and all the extra items that go with them. However for the 2010 black Friday sales the main focus is size.

Target and Best Buy have already had their Black Friday ads released onto the internet and both of them feature 40 inch, 46 inch and even larger TV’s at bargain prices. They are selling both lCD and Plasma models and they do feature HD, but there are not promoting any of the 3D models.

This could either mean that the companies are not sure whether 3D will take off with the consumer or it means they have warehouses full of stock that they need to move. What it does mean is that anyone who has been holding off on purchasing a new TV may well feel that now is the time.

Buying a TV that is going to be “last years model” soon during the Thanksgiving sales will let shoppers save a lot of money while still getting a very high level TV. This makes a lot of sense in these financially difficult times.
