The retailers have to guess almost a year early how many televisions to order. If they overbuy, you get the deals.
Walmart: Emerson 32 inch LCD HD TV - regular price $328, sale price $198
Target: Westinghouse 40 inch LCD TV - regular price $549, sale price $298
But the deep discounts this year will be on some of the biggest sets:
Best Buy: 50 inch Panasonic plasma - regular price $999 - after Thanksgiving $699
