March Madness HDTV Deals

To get the best March Madness viewing experience, you need a great HDTV. A new 55-inch LG LED LCD TV would certainly bring all of that heart pumping, college basketball action front and center—all for less than $1,400. (Hey, your bracket winnings could help pay for a big chunk of that, right?)

Think of this as an investment: After all, it's not like you're buying a new TV just to watch the Super Bowl; March Madness goes on for weeks. That means lots of viewing parties to show off that shiny, new HDTV (please ask your spouse before inviting everyone over). And once college basketball is over, you can move right into baseball season. And then there are movie nights. OK, we've given you enough reasons to purchase a new HDTV.

If you're not convinced, however, check out these mouth-watering deals from our sister site, LogicBuy. You'll be able to get the great TV you want, without breaking the bank. I mean, come on, how could you pass up $1,149 in savings? We've rounded up 10 HDTVs, with amazing price tags from companies, such as Vizio, Samsung, Sharp, LG, and Sony. The sale prices range from $480 to $2,000 for TVs with screen sizes, ranging from 40 to 60 inches. Some include 3D capability and others even come bundled with Blu-ray players. Act fast, though: These prices are only good while supplies last.

So, don't miss a single rebound or the pleasure of seeing this year's Cinderella story emerge (hello Morehead St.). Treat yourself to the best March Madness experience possible (other than being courtside, of course) with a new HDTV. Check out the slam-dunk deals in the slideshow.
