HDTV prices rose last month?

We've been used to HDTV prices sliding in one direction, but data from Retrevo's CE Index indicates a slight uptick in average prices, with a 10% jump from January to February. Of course it's seen as an unlikely trend, with Retrevo CEO Vipin Jan attributing the shift to Super Bowl sales and the liquidation of Circuit City helping to push prices down January before rising again, but with the caveat that (as always) you'll want to hunt around for the best price. At the least, double checking that "sale" price to make sure it's not actually a bump up from last week's circular certainly seems to be in order.
