Each year around the holidays I get a bunch of questions about TV’s, Laptops and cables so I figured I would make a cool little guide to help you save some money this holiday season.
The #1 profit maker for the stores on an LCD or Plasma TV purchase is in the cables and the bracket to hang it on the wall. Here at work we use a wholesale website to pick up this stuff at drastic savings over places like Best Buy.
If you are looking for a bracket to hang that new TV Best Buy will have THIS BRACKET for $119.99
I would reccomend THIS BRACKET in it’s place from a company called Monoprice, it’s just $24.22
They are both the EXACT SAME BRACKET.
The other item your new HDTV will need is a HDMI cable, these come in many sizes.
This is one cable where getting something “Best” is not going to make your picture better, since this communication between your DVD or the cablebox is digital there is no “Loss” if you loose a lesser cable. Digital communication either gets there or it don’t, there is no signal loss in a cable this short.
If you are buying a HDTV this season make sure you have one or two of these on hand, you WILL need it.
Best Buy will sell you THIS HDMI CABLE for $69.99
Our friends at Monoprice will sell you THIS HDMI CABLE for $4.09… oh and it’s 2ft longer too!
Hopefully these tips will help you save a little $$$ this season while you pick up that new HDTV!
