Difference between WD-60C9 and the WD-60737?? Does anybody know what the difference is between the WD-60C9 and the WD-60737? They're both 60-inch DLP, 1080p, 120Hz, look identical (right down to the dimensions and weight), and appear to have all the same features, yet the Amazon prices for them are $184 apart.

I also just bought it from Best Buy for the $799. I added some black friday Polk Audio 1/2 off speakers to the order to hit the $999 for 36 months too. I can't be happier.....well I will be when they get around to delivering it later this month.I clicked on this link because I was looking at both these models as well, as Vanns.com had them both for $999 and I was wondering if it was worth getting the other model over the 60C9.

the only thing I can tell is that the WD-60C9 is the updated version. I've had my eye on this 60" for the past year thru Amazon, QVC, & Best Buy. BEST BUY HAS IT (the wd60c9) RIGHT NOW FOR $799 OMG OMG OMG!

from what I can see, the WD-60737 has "Improved Dark Field Imager", and "Improved SharpEdge". Otherwise they are the same. Unfortunately, I have not seen these side by side to see if this makes any noticeable difference.

I also got this from Dell at $799 plus free shipping plus the 20% cashback from Bing. 20% from Bing took 10 days to post to my account and several emails from me, but finally showed up today. Free 3-5 day shipping?! What a farce...I ordered on 11/30 and their expected delivery date is 12/16?!

Got this from Dell.com on sale for $799.00 + free shipping and 20% cash back from Bing.com! Total cost was $647.00!

"from what I can see, the WD-60737 has "Improved Dark Field Imager", and "Improved SharpEdge"Actually, reports are that this exists on the C9 as well.And Yes, I jumped on the $799 Best Buy price, and the 36 month no interest financing. Pretty hard to beat!

i just spoke with tech support at EdgeCraft who manufactures both models and they say that the differences are as follows: 1. 610 is the newer model 2. 610 has a closed base vs. an open one on the 609 3. 610 has more metal components vs. the 609

Samsung UN46C8000 46-Inch 1080p 3D 240 Hz LED HDTV There are several differences: the UN46C weighs 42.3 lbs while the UN46D weighs 27.3 lbs. The dimensions are different: the C is 1.1"deep and 42.9 X 28.5 while the D is 1.2"deep and 41 X 23.6. The D comes with 2 sets of rechargeable glasses and is wireless internet ready out of the box whereas the C requires an accessory called a LinkStick to be purchased. The D has a QWERTY keyboard remote with a display that shows whatever you type (hence you do not have to keep looking up at the screen (which is required with the C. Finally, the D is edgeless while the C has a framework that doesn't look as smart and hi tech and requires a cabinet to be wider and taller -- to house the TV. I own a 55" C 8000, and now need to replace the master bedroom 45" LCD. I am going to purchase the D because some reviewers say the picture is better. The quality of the C is absolutely superb, so if the D is better -- that is icing on the cake.

I contacted customer service regarding this issue and they told me there was no difference between the two units. The numbers are different because they are marketed to different types of retailers.

Retailers will always try to tell you that Monster is best because they make such an enormous amount of profit if you buy that $99 cable. Think about it, if you owned a retail store, would you rather sell a $10 cable, or a $99 cable. You can't blame them for trying but "buyer beware" is in order. Lifetime Warranty? Seriously, for $99? Considering they are 10x the price of what a quality cable should cost, the lifetime warranty is irrelevant. If you would be willing to pay 10x the price of a blu-ray player or any other product, I'm sure they would offer a offer you a lifetime warranty on those too. Monster has the retailers sucked in because of how much potential profit there is to be made. "buyer beware"! It's all Monster marketing. And they are super good at it. As to your second question, there is no such thing as a 1080 cable. The only differences in cables are Standard Speed (Category 1) and High Speed (Category 2). The difference between Standard Speed and High Speed is that High Speed is guaranteed to throughput 1080p. Standard Speed may also throughput 1080p but it is not guaranteed to do so. As to "Hertz" or more accurately "refresh rates", the refresh rate is done inside the TV. The cable has nothing to do with it so long as it is capable of throughputting enough information so that the TV can receive enough information to refresh at the specified refresh rate. That said, any High Speed HDMI cable is capable of the refresh rates of any TV currently being produced. While that may change in the future, to my knowledge it is simply an irrelevant consideration. @Russell, you should not accept a distorted picture. It unacceptable and, assuming you have confirmed its the cable and not the dvd player or the settings, clearly you should call the people that sold you the cable and get it replaced free of charge.

I don't see any difference....looks like that would be the place to buy it. I got it in Sept from amazon and paid 90 bucks. I'm happy with it but I also don't use it much.

Good eye, sir. I do see where you are correct on Canon's website. I missed that detail in the comparison. Normally I'd say I wouldn't notice the difference in quality, but given I'll be putting this on my 56 inch HDTV, I bet it will be noticeable. The HF100 does feel cheaper. The extra bulk from the HDD makes the unit more managable. That plus the menu makes it less appealing.I would say the extra $65-70 is justifiable given the 60gb of included space, especially considering if you can get your hands on a 32gb SD card you'll be paying well over $100. Maybe in a year it will be <$100, but by then these camcorders will be cheaper anyway. I've made up my mind on the HG20! Good eye, sir. I do see where you are correct on Canon's website.

These were the two WD drives that had been verified for use for my Synology NAS disk arrays. They are both enterprise rated hard drives. The FYYZ is rated at 1.2 million hours while the F9YZ is rated at 0.8 million hours. I had really thought about getting the FYYZ at the time I made the purchase but the available supply was not there, I needed 12 drives and the most that I could purchase at that time was 3 or 4, so essentially that forced my decision toward the F9YZ drives. See this link http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/library/OVR/hires/ENG/2178-771210.pdf One drive is in the scalabilty section and one drive is in the durability section.

If I recall, the Newegg WD Reds sold closer to release and had firmware issues. I had the same questions and came to the conclusion that Amazon got a later batch. Try sorting the Newegg reviews by date.

According to Samsung's site, they both have 6000:1 contrast ratios.

Wouldn't it be great if WD published such clear comparisons! Here are a few differences from what I can tell - I'm sure there are more:1. No netflix on this one2. Default UI is a little different with favorite tiles showing up by default rather than scrolling options across the bottom3. I can stream content to this one from other devices which is a little nifty. I don't think the old one did this but maybe so.4. I can't set my favorite .jpg as the background on this one - previous one supported this.I'm sure there are other things.

There is no difference, just no amazon sellers offering a good price right now, I paid 349 on amazon for mine, be patient they will come back... good luck

@ RonnieI have both the 980H and the 981HD. I also have the Samsung LN-T5271F. If you like the DV-981HD with your 5271F, you will probably like the recently released DV-983H. I have a Toshiba HD-A35 which has the same upscaler chip as the DV-983H The picture quality of the HD-A35 using the same chip is better than the DV-981H. The DV-983H is a bit pricey though and I wonder whether the HD-A35 might be a better choice.

Are you sure you are comparing the same models? They have four models CT14 series and CT15 series, and all look exactly the same on the outside. Amazon does not stock these ultrabooks - they may show it for sale but they use one of their affiliated dealers to fill the order. When I bought one, on Aug 24,2012 - Amazon listed the CT15-A1 for only $50 more than I paid at my local Sams Club ($899 + 6% local Sales Tax). The Visio store sells the same model equipped with a bigger SSD Hard Drive + FREE shipping drive Plus a Two year warranty for $999. Be aware of Configuration changes between various sellers.

There's a promotion going for the LN46B750. Amazon is currently selling it for $1,999.99. Input coupon code, "SAMTV300" and it drops to $1,699.99. I'm pissed because yesterday I picked up an LN46A860 from Crutchfield for $1,579.99 with 1% FW cashback. It already shipped, bleh. Specs wise, seems like everything is the same except that the LN46B750 introduces 240Hz motion and Internet@TV (Yahoo!, YouTube, Flickr, etc.). Also, the LN46B750 has a charcoal ToC while the LN46A860 has a dark blue one. Moreover, I haven't come across a review that details the performance of the 240Hz motion.

Check out these links; http://www.hdtvsolutions.com/pdf/lns4695_final.pdf and http://www.hdtvsolutions.com/pdf/lns4696_final.pdf From what I could gather, both TV's are very similar. The 4696D has an integrated DCR tuner and cablecard (for use with cable) and 7000:1 contrast ratio vs the 4695D which only has the ATSC tuner and 6000:1 contrast ratio.

you can do a side by side comparison of the two on samsung's website. The 550 is just a notch up from the 540. The dynamic contrast ratio is higher (70,000:1 vs 60,000:1) it has one extra hdmi input in the back as well as an extra Composite (AV) input. The 550 also supports USB 2.0 (MPEG Support), and overall, the dimensions are slightly shaved down on the 550 (about a half inch height and width). Contrary to the previous (Truzzi's) post, they both actually have the same audio it would appear (SRS TrueSurround HD). To me, the differences are minor. The Costco tv is about fifty bucks cheaper but sales tax (assuming aprox 8% but depends on where you live) is going to cancel that savings out, and with Amazon, you get free delivery on the 550. Costco charges about 20 bucks for shipping and handling. some other factors to consider are: - costco extends their warranty from one to two years. - costco is running some pretty impressive deals and rebates with Direct TV
