The best time to be in the television sales business is around Super Bowl. Next to Christmas, this is the one time of year where big screen TV sales go through the roof. Everyone wants to get the perfect screen for the big game. Thanks to the drop in prices, you could land a 55-inch flatscreen for around $600. If this is the first time you’ve shopped for a television in awhile then you’re going to discover the only TV you can get is a flatscreen. That’s probably for the best as these will take up the least amount of space and deliver the highest quality picture.

You might be tempted to plunk down some extra bucks for a 3-D TV but you’re probably better off waiting. There isn’t a lot of programming available in 3-D beyond a bunch of Blu-Ray movies. While the technology is good for 3-D, it is actually getting better with every design cycle. You’re better off holding onto your money. If you want to spend extra, spend for a bigger screen. After all, you’ll be spending a lot of time in the coming years in front of this TV, so make it count.
