The 62 series are terrible. They are older models which have poor picture quality and often suffer from horizontal banding issues. Go with the 64 series for sure. I own the 46" 64U series btw.

I called Toshiba about this and was told it's just a market difference. The TVs are the same, the models just vary in each market. I guess online retailers just mix up the models.

Since both have the same resolution/pixel count, the 46" TV should theoretically have a more dense group of pixels than a larger 52" TV. BUT, under normal viewing distances, you will notice the size difference much much more than the pixel spacing. If your viewing distance is 8 feet or less, the 46" may be a good option, but beyond 8 feet, I think you will be much happier with the 52".

I was told by a sales person at a "big box" store that they are the same, that different retailers use slightly different model numbers. My advice is to write down the the tech specs such as dpi, hz, etc., (and watch for different wording like "Clear Motion Rate" is not the same as "refresh rate") and then compare the different models that way.

Mine was a 46" sharp. The only things I think that you need to be concerned with are the mounting location dimensions on the back of the TV and the TV weight. If the four mounting points on the TV are much great than 400mm (about 15 3/4 inches) then it won't work.

These are new TVs, but they can not be confused with top of the line brands. I purchased a 40 inch version, it had an OK display and good audio. It does have a couple of problems and a service tech will be here in a week to repair them.

TeeVoo thanks for the explanation. I just picked up the a950 at best buy for $3600 and no interest for 3 years. My Best Buy was even giving premium home delivery and setup for free on it as well. I compared the two tvs. There is just something about the a950's picture that makes you go "wow." The only wow factor I received from the new LEDs was how thin they were. At the end of the day, I watch what's on the screen and not how thin the actual tv set is so I went with the a950.

Yes, I think the LS is. If I looked at the right tv the CS 47" is a LCD tv. The LS4500 is a LED tv which is a thinner tv and the edges around it are smaller so you have more screen. I had a lcd Sony tv that I liked 32". The LED LG tv picture is clearer and brighter to me than any LCD screen I looked at. I would reccommend the LS. Hope this helped you... BC....

I am certainly no TV guru but, I had purchased the LN40A550 & returned it & bought the LN40A650 & could not be happier! We noticed immediately that the picture looked faded on the 550 & went to one of the local retailers & found that this is a common complaint on these units. They actually had a LN40A550 & LN40A650 side by side in the store & there is a huge difference. We are very impressed with the picture quality regardless of what we are watching. We have had many friends commenting on the awesome picture on this TV. Hope this helps. Les

I like the White framed and Burgundy framed LCD HDTV's better they look more distinctive, plus the sharp stand allows for Tilting and moving of the TV, the Sony does NOT allow any movement of the TV. However I wonder about the reliability of the Sharp... never have had a Sharp TV my Sony's have lasted at least 10 years without any problems... The Sharp model is native 1080p and built for gaming. You have to get the Sony 32XBR9 for a comparison...it just came out and is 999 at BB

its way more clearer than LG and Sharp!!!Sharp come close, but Sony is just way BETTER!!!!!!!!!!i remember watching a Sharp 52" vs. Sony Bravia 52" in in the store and the Bravia is just way better and have better image than the Sharp, period, no question ask, Sony beat Sharp!

I wondered the same. From what I gather, the 30B is 47" and the 32B is 42" but otherwise the same, I believe. The 32B with my 65" Tv works great for such a price savings. I wouldn't notice any difference of 5 inches for twice the price. I believe, at the time, I made the right call but see the price has lowered for the 30B. So moot point now. I wouldn't pay for the above price for either, keep searching.

hey man bottom line go bigger that 120mhz is a gimmick I have this tv, you will NOT go wrong with the 46". Believe me! I had the same debacle as you. 46" is the way to go

This is a mystery of science. Mechanical drawings show virtually no difference that I can see, but 410 is advertised for TVs 37-84 and 510 for 51-80. The actual drawing numbers from Sanus are different, usually indicating a truly different product. The limiting factor is the max width between the two vertical arms which attach to the back of the TV. Both are the same value, as well as max weight. Somehow the spec for the max distance to the wall is slightly different. I have two VLF410s, and it's considered the "do all" mount from Sanus. I've had no issues with the install or operation on a 40 and 50" unit, but I did buy a different one for a 65" plasma, which is close to the max weight for the 410. This is a mystery of science.

Guy's,I need a little advice. I know nothing about LCD TV's. I'm moving into a house and ran into a guy that wants to sell a Samsung 40" 4061. The TV has been siting in his bedroom and is hardly used as he watches a bigger set in the living room. The set looks and works great and he's asking $500 for it. I think the set is several years old. Does anyone out there have any advice on buying this?Anything to look for? Is this a good price on a set with prices coming down this Christmas?Thanks for any input,Rudy
