LG made a last-ditch effort to push out video inventory at Amazon warehouses Friday with instant manufacturer rebates of as much as 60 percent, Consumer Electronics Daily found. In TVs, the more consumers were willing to spend, the steeper were the discounts offered. For example, LG’s 42LV4400 42-Inch LED-backlit LCD TV was marked down to $529 from $799, and the high-end 60-inch Active 3D THX-Certified Infinia 60-inch 60PZ950 was slashed 60 percent to $1,435.96, we found. The discount was less steep on the 60-inch 60PZ550 60-inch plasma with active 3D and Internet apps, which was discounted from $1,699 to $1,199. LG’s BD670 Blu-ray 3D player was sliced 45 percent to $109, while a non-3D Blu-ray player fell to $59.98 from $119. LG offered instant rebates on nine products in total Friday, including two 720p projectors shaved to $579 and $669. The rebates were good through Christmas Eve, but only on products bought from Amazon directly, not from Amazon’s third-party vendors, according to the website.
