It’s Monday! Time for some handpicked gadget deals. We’re going from 10 deals down to five in the interest of honing in on the true bargains.
Silo 42-inch 1080p LCD HDTV: $400 at Woot.com (today only)
Silo? Never heard of it. But a 42-inch TV for $400 is a 42-inch TV for $400, and you can’t argue with a 42-inch TV for $400.
The TV has three HDMI inputs, two component inputs, a VGA input, and a set of analog AV inputs. There’s a one-year warranty, and shipping adds $5. The deal is good today only.
Garmin Nuvi 1200 GPS system: $60 at Office Depot
This little guy started at $80. Then there was a $10 instant discount! Everyone clapped politely. Then coupon code 12097549 cut the price to $60. All the polite claps suddenly turned to fist pumping and joy-filled screaming.
The GPS system has a 3.5-inch touchscreen, pre-loaded U.S. maps, rechargeable battery, and a feature called "ecoRoute" that lets you find the most fuel-efficient path to your destination.
Refurbished 16GB Wi-Fi iPad: $349 at Apple
Refurbished Apple stuff carries the same one-year warranty as new stuff, so an iPad for $350 is a pretty good deal.
Sure, an extra $150 will get you the new iPad 2 that comes out this Friday but if you’re looking to get the best price on an iPad, this deal is hard to beat.

Refurbished 40-inch Sony Bravia 1080p TV: $430 at Sony
