Ultra-low prices for flat screen LCD TVs are typical for Black Friday. But this year, the best deals are expected to come even later in the holiday season and into early 2011.
The average price for a 42-inch LCD TV is forecast to be $626 this quarter, but the price is expected to fall below $600 in the beginning of next year before rising again, according to NPD Group. Prices for 52-inch LCD TVs are expected to drop by $120 on average during the same time period.
"The prices out there now are very aggressive and attractive, but there will be fire sale-like prices on Black Friday and even further price reductions after Black Friday," said Riddhi Patel, director of television systems and retail services at iSuppli Corp. "The TV market has slowed down, and there's no indication of it turning around."
America is an "LCD TV recession," with sales falling for six months in a row, said Brian White, analyst at Ticonderoga Securities.
