That is right, it is now August and football sites are starting to show clock countdowns for the start of the season.

Whether you are into college of pro football, this is a great time of year for football fans.  This is also a great time to consider whether you home entertainment system is up to par to give you the very best in television viewing.  Every year there are a number of high quality HDTVs that come out and so it pays to reevaluate whether this year you need to make a change.

Year 2009 is a good year for value HDTV buying because many manufacturers are aware of the recessionary conditions and have already slashed prices or made more value models.  Two models that came out this year that maximize the bargain for customers are the LG 50PS80 and the Panasonic TC-P42G10.  Both of these HDTVs deliver great high quality viewing in 1080p.  Here, is a brief run down of both.

LG 50PS80

The LG 50PS80 is a 50 inch 1080p Plasma Broadband HDTV.  This one is an action packed HDTV that delivers a ton of power for the price.  It has a mega contrast ration of 2 million to 1 and even offers access to NetCast Entertainment.  This feature allows for streaming of movies, video, stock quotes, weather, sports scores, and more.  There is certainly plenty of options too as you can hook up your digital camera, blu-ray disc player and more to this wunderkind.  However, the best thing going for this will be its reasonable price for such great HDTV picture quality.

Panasonic TC-P42G10

The Panasonic TC-P42G10 is a 42 inch 1080p Plasma HDTV which offers a slightly smaller size which can be better for some homes.  Regardless, you can still see the same great HDTV picture quality in 1080p making it easy to catch all the action in your favorite football games.  Also, this flat screen also provides connection to a number of services like Amazon Video On Demand, YouTube, Picasa web albums, and more.  Its sleek design and look is high quality and may only be surpassed by its bargain value price.

These two HDTVs headline what are some great options in HDTVs for year 2009.  If you are in the hunt for a new television, you could not go wrong with either of these as both have been well received at consumer electronics shows and with customers.
