When should I buy my new TV? - Blu-ray Forum

GeneD5 · 03-12-2020, 04:37 PM

I’ve got my eye on a bigger flagship model and I’m ready to upgrade.

I’ve also read comments on here that the springtime is the best time to get a deal on a previous years set (I want a 2019).

How long should I wait? I’ve been watching constantly but the price hasn’t moved. I’d like to shave a little off the price, but not at the expense of missing out on getting one.

No matter when you buy it, a month later the price will drop.

Before the world ends might be a good idea. Though if the apocalypse does come then imagine the clearance deals!

The answer to this is always 'when you want/need one'.

Hi I’ll share a quick story. Last year i said the same thing. I wanted a large flagship tv. I was looking at the 2018 sony x900f 75”. I thought when the 2019 models came out it would go on sale. So in March/April time it dropped to $3,200. I negotiated down to $2,999. 6-8 months later it sells for $1,500-1,800. There’s no winning. The longer you wait, the better the deal, but by then there are several things newer and better. And wish i did the 85”. Already looking to upgrade...
