May 8th 2009 8:15AM I wonder if Amazon offers free delivery - http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0015YTMFY/itquotes101-20

Is right now the best time to buy a new HDTV? {Engadget HD}
Apr 1st 2009 8:14AM Be sure to check the deal sites like SlickDeals and TechDealDigger that post links to deep discounts on TVs and other electronics. I use the latter and picked up the highly-rated Panasonic 42 TH-42PZ85U 1080p Plasma for $865 including free shipping before Christmas. At the time, that was $150 cheaper than the prices showing on the Price Comparison engines. http://www.techdealdigger.com
Stay away from BestBuy, though, generally their prices are 10-20% (sometimes more) above the prices I've seen on the deal sites.
Is Netflix putting caps on computer-based Watch Instantly users? {Engadget}
Mar 16th 2009 7:21AM I hope they aren't capping the number of streams. I just ordered a refurb TiVo HD DVR so I can ditch my cable DVR and Roku player and have my DVR and Netflix streaming all in one box.

Does the death of KURO signal the end of the plasma? {Engadget HD}
Feb 26th 2009 10:47AM I love my Panasonic Viera 42PZ85U. I have both LCD and Plasma and my Viera blows away the LCD models. The blacks are nice, but the blurring/judder on my LCD during sporting events is really noticeable. On a plasma, when a camera pans the court or field, you see smooth, crisp motion, not a bunch of blocky images.

Feb 6th 2009 8:17AM The Vixia HG10 is a great little High Definition, Hard Drive Camcorder. You can get it for $499 - http://www.techdealdigger.com/deals/canon-vixia-hg10-499-at-bh-photo/5220
