January is definitely the time to buy a new TV. You may have been tempted during Black Friday but hopefully, you held out.

This is when the prices on last year’s models really start to fall big time. Don’t listen to all those people that tell you to rush out and get a TV during Black Friday. Just wait and you will be rewarded.
