Big-Screen TVs Go Low on Price: Sony 75-Inch Slips Under $1,000

The largest TVs are selling for low-budget prices, recent ads show. Amazon was selling a Sony 2020 X750H 75-inch 4K for $998 with free scheduled delivery in a Friday Deal of the Day. Sony was also a Deal of the Day at Best Buy Friday: Its 65-inch XBR65X900F 4K LED Android TV was discounted $300 to $899. The company sold 1.5 million TVs in Q1 ended June 30, 25% fewer than in the prior-year quarter, it said in August (see 2008040014). An LG 70-inch 70UN7070PUA 4K TV smart LED TV was knocked down $50 to $649 at Best Buy; an 82-incher in the UN8500 series dropped $550 to $1,449. Samsung cut $500 from the 82-inch UN82RU8000FXZA4K TV, bringing it to $1,499 at Best Buy. That led former CEDIA integrator Russ Herschelmann to post on Facebook: “Wow. $1500 for an almost 7 foot diagonal 4K flat screen HDTV. I remember when the first 40" plasmas were $40,000.00.”
