If you're in the market for a new television, wait until next month. TVs sold in online stores are historically cheapest in August and November, according to a study of product pricing by data analytics firm Indix.

This year, the average TV price for four of the top five brands—Samsung, LG, Sony and Sharp—ranges from $1,200 to $1,600, said Indix. Vizio, the popular budget-conscious brand that was acquired by China's LeEco Global in July, has an average of $566. But with a little patience and careful timing, you can snag one for much less.
