HDTV DEAL

This 46-inch RCA set is not only incredibly inexpensive for its size but also got 4.6 out of 5 stars on Best Buy after eight reviews. It doesn’t come with a lot of extra features, but keep in mind you’ll probably get Internet streaming capability on most late-model Blu-ray players these days anyway. Why pay twice for the same thing?

46″ RCA 46LB45RQ 1080p LCD HDTV for $450 with free shipping (next best is $520).

MONITOR DEALS

Next we’ve got two monitors with slightly different target markets. The Asus IPS monitor is ideal for graphics-intensive work where a wider color gamut and greater accuracy are required, whereas the Acer monitor is more of a run-of-the-mill screen – but still capable of producing very good picture quality.

VIDEO CARD DEALS

Today we’ve got two standout deals on video cards. The high-powered 3GB Radeon HD 7970 from VisionTek is only $360 after a coupon, and as you might guess, it’s capable of running most modern game you’d throw at it.

TABLET DEALS

Today the 32GB Asus Transformer Pad Infinity makes its new lowest price ever by $30, and the 16GB Lenovo IdeaPad A1 is tied with its previous low again thanks to a $100 manufacturer’s coupon. Some ecstatic reviewers say the Asus is actually an iPad 3 killer…regardless, it’s got a 1080p Gorilla Glass coated screen and very good specs. In contrast, the IdeaPad is more of an entry-level tablet spec-wise but still incredibly well-received.

	Asus Transformer Pad Infinity 32GB 10.1-inch 1200p Tablet for $470 with free shipping (normally $500).
	Lenovo IdeaPad A1 Tablet 16GB 22282NU Blue Leather for $149 with free shipping (normally $399 – use coupon code USPA12N1018).

MISCELLANEOUS DEALS

As usual, we’ve got a wide assortment of deals in the miscellaneous category. Perhaps the most standout in terms of tech appeal is the Logitech T400 mouse, which you can read about here. Basically it’s a mouse optimized for Windows 8 that’s sort of like a hybrid between a traditional mouse and a touchpad. The Creative Inspire T10 speakers are a great choice for good quality computer audio on a budget, while the Toshiba BDK33 Blu-ray player includes WiFi and streams most things you’d want for only $40.

	Logitech T400 Zone Touch Mouse for $40 with free shipping (next best is $45 – use coupon code EMCJNJA62).
