    Sure, but is it the cheapest time to shop that you can plan for? Waiting for a good sale will always be the best plan, but you can always bet on black Friday having relatively good deals

      There was an article a couple years back saying that manufacturers will use cheaper components for the same products, making it LOOK like the same TV but it’s actually built cheaper. The really bad ones will keep the same product number/SKU but others will usually append a letter or two.

      So the over all cost might be less but you’re actually getting a poor quality version.

        I feel like most retailers also mark up the prices a few months before than just bring it down to retail price

      Plus it’s a convenient time of year when you’re buying Christmas gifts
