Planning on buying a 32' TV. Should I wait until Black Friday or Cyber Monday?

Looking for a TV for my room because my parents took the one I was using to the house they're moving into. As bored as I am, I'd rather wait until I can save some money on a purchase. I was going to wait until Black Friday, but I just learned about Cyber Monday.

Which day would be better for buying a 1080p 32' name brand TV?

Thanks

    No need to wait, especially for a name brand set. The Black Friday deals are nearly always on low-end price leader sets - just a bunch of junk. Cyber Monday is better, but is becoming over-rated too. Pre-Super Bowl deals are good, but that's after the holidays.

    On a name brand set, now is as good a time as any.

    Planning on buying a 32' TV. Should I wait until Black Friday or Cyber Monday? Black Friday is in November, the day after Thanksgiving Day that marks the informal beginning of the Christmas shopping period. The majority of major retailers have large marketing sales to begin the vacation shopping season.

    Black Friday has become that popular in standard traditionals shops that individuals line up for hours and there is lots of push and shoving and even physical violence. Why would you wait in a long line, be pushed and shoved simply to conserve a couple of bucks when online websites like Amazon have massive Black Friday sales and it's a stress free environment.

    Amazon now has remarkable offers every day for a week leading up to Black Friday that it terms Black Friday Offer Week and culminates in Cyber Monday. Black Friday deals cover all shopping categories however Cyber Monday is specifically concentrated on digital items and electronics. It is Cyber Monday when items like Games Consoles and Kindle e-readers, Kindle Fire tablets is slashed.

    Have a look at Amazon's Black Friday Offer Week specials.

    If your searching for Amazon's deal outside of Black Friday Week then check out Gold Box Deals at:

    http://www.amazon.com/gp/goldbox/?ie=UTF8&tag=yah-...

    Between those three pages on Amazon you will find the best deals available.

    Black Friday is a joke now…people camp out for 3 days only to receive $50 off a laptop.

    Cyber monday has a lot better deals, but still not too impressive.

    I would say cyber monday is our best bet regarding these two factors.

    Mike,

    Wait until late January to buy it. Retail stores offer HUGE discounts just before the SuperBowl and need the post Holiday revenue.

    Black Friday deals on TV's you get bare bones you can prolly find a 720p 32 for a couple hundy, but 720p sucks and is old technology.

    My choice is (and has been) Cyber Monday, but with a catch. I only order from a seller who has a store in my community. The item arrives via express, and if there's a problem, I get it resolved the same day at the local store.

    Costco does that, and they're my choice for electronics, either in-store on online (for the above reason).
