LN52B630 Anywhere????? I'm looking to make a purchase of this item, but found the price has jumped a TON in the last few weeks on Amazon. Is this because this LCD is going to be discontinued? If so - wouldn't it go the other direction? I've been doing tons of research on this LCD and have heard GREAT things about it - and I finally have decided to go with it. The only kicker is that it is out of stock at Frys, my local Sears (within 40 miles), Newegg and Best Buy. I was looking to spend in the range of $1250 - $1500 if possible. I should have jumped on it when it was at 1200 on Amazon - but I waited. :( Any ideas of anyone finding this model anywhere on the net with a trusted delivery?? Thanks in advance!!!

Warehouse Deals (Amazon) is also offering the 55inch for $1287 plus $61 shipping. It's a better deal than the 52in actually. I just bought it and it will be delivered next Thursday which gives me time to find a stand big enough to put it on. Good luck with your purchase!

Discontinued model. Went to bestbuy today on michigan ave, chicago and they are selling their display for $1200. But looks like it's now available on Amazon.com

I actually just picked this TV up from Fred Meyer in Portland for $999.99. A deal they had since it's being discontinued. If you are in the Pacific Northwest give them a try.

I've been researching tv's for several months and have decided on the LN46A750. The price at Amazon is unbelievable. I'm going to order one next month. Has anyone purchased the extended warranty? I hear Samsung tv's are excellent quality and wonder if I really need a warranty.

I saw this TV at Sears on clearnace. The tag had $3200 and on clearance for $2800. I got mine at Best Buy on clearance for $1487.50 That's a big difference and it has in fact increased in price which does not make any sense to me since you can get a 55" LED for close to that price. I agree that below 2K seems more reasonable for this.

Samsung is touting "better" spec on the B650 line and are therefore devoting must of their manufacturing pipeline to that series, followed by th B750 series. Once those stocks are large enough, they will be rolling out the B630 series. With that said, it looks like that the B630 should come out some time in mid to late May. The specs when comparing the b650 and b630 are nearly identical except the matte screen reduces the dynamic contrast ratio to 80000:1, which is to be expected -- not that these numbers are very reliable anyway. Also, they moved the on-tv controls to the center of the bottom bezel, which to me looks a bit awkard.

The price has gone back up significantly. Just before xmas it was about $1899, and as soon as the shipping deadline passed for xmas it dropped to $1595 and stayed that way most of January. Now I see it selling for $1,999.99When the price was $1595 the TV was being sold by Amazon, now it appears that the TV is being sold by Cruthfield which is why there is a drastic increase in price. If you really want this TV, I would wait until Amazon starts selling it again.

In my opinion DLP is just dying out as LCD gets better and cheaper. Blacks and motion have been greatly improved, they are making them bigger now and the price is dropping. The only drawbacks to DLP are changing the bulb and glare in bright rooms. For me, I don't care about the bulbs because they last quite a while now and they are not that expensive. I hate the way any TV looks in a bright room so glare isn't an issue as I have blinds and curtains. Here is why I am still going with DLP. The price of three replacement bulbs is still cheaper than the price difference of similar quality LCD. Now later on when LCD gets cheaper, that is what I would go with. Now on a TV that is smaller, like forty something inches or less, it's LCD all the way. I have a 42 inch LCD that's awesome. It's a great TV, I am going to end up putting it in the bedroom. With the smaller TVs you also don't have to worry about whether or not it is 1080p. It doesn't matter because the TV has to be bigger for the human eye to see the difference. There may be some other features that might make it look nicer, since a 720p/1080i is going to be pretty basic now, but not the resolution. Unless you have abnormally good vision of course. So that's my thoughts on it. For now I think the DLP is the better buy. Next year though, LCD is probably going to be within a couple hundred dollars. So if I was going to buy a TV a year from now, it would be LCD. Now if you are sure you are going to keep this TV for 10+ years and not upgrade, or you will have it on all day, then the LCD is going to be less than the cost of the bulbs. So in that case LCD would even be better right now, if that describes what you plan to do with it.

Now this thing is up to $1606? is everyone seeing this same price? Why in the world is the price rising like this in $50 chunks? It's like they are trying to make us buy the LNA46750 ($1630 or so). Makes no sense to me...there are apparently many TV buyers at the ready if Amazon wasn't jerking the price all over the place. If they don't get things straightened out shortly, I'll buy it over at Newegg. They're pretty reputable from what I understand, and the Newegg price of $1529 (free shipping) is looking better by the minute - though product appears to be on backorder or something over there. Patience will be a virtue here I guess. Now this thing is up to $1606? is everyone seeing this same price? Why in the world is the price rising like this in $50 chunks?

The 55 has been out for weeks. I guess they ran out of initial stock. I love the tv. Great value for the $$.

Thanks for the clarification. We keep ordering a 9595CC from Amazon and they keep sending us a 9595. We can't seem to find where the LCD is located. Can you help?Thanks!

No idea. I talked with customer support and they said they didn't know when or if it would be back in stock.It would suck not getting the deal, but after the deal deadline, I'd still be happy with just the TV from another seller. I'd just keep checking back every day.

Interesting comments. If the wiki article is right, TCL isn't such a "no name" brand after all - I live in the midwest and I have heard of RCA. They were a lot bigger in the days when tube tv's were really big, they sorta got quiet in the LCD/plasma revolution. But anyway, if TCL == RCA, I might end up choosing this TV. Target & BB have a Samsung this size on Black Fri for 328$, and it looks like Toshibas and Samsungs this size in general are the deal at 320ish this year - an extra fifty bucks off for the TCL is almost enough for a bluray player to go with it on Black Fri (yep, really). =) Interesting comments.

Hi, Thought I might let you know that you can score a great deal on this tv from Vann's (www.vanns.com). I've never bought from them before but their reselleratings are top notch and a lot of people have purchased from them in the avsforum. They are a Samsung authorized dealer and have an A+ rating with the BBB. I just placed an order for this tv at $1349.98! When you go to the site it will be listed at $1577 but click on the tv and click on the link that says email me a better price. You'll receive an email for $1349.98. At that point you can call the customer service or click on another link that will take you to the checkout. I'm excited. I'll follow up if I have any problems. The sales rep I talked to said that this price would probably be good through the end of the month, but he's not sure. Hope I've been helpful. Thanks

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

I am looking at both of these models as well. I bought a Samsung 42" LCD 2.5 years ago and it is now failing. (Estimated repair cost for 1 of the 3 problems it is now having is $850.) Not a good track record for my money. So, I will probably go with the Sony. Has anyone had any repair problems with the Sony LCD's?

I too have been watching this laptop for about a month and a half now. I just purchased one from another seller. I don't think Amazon discontinued it, it's just out of stock for everyone right now. If sellers are getting them back in stock, some are jacking the price up. I also noticed that Amazon has the ASUS Eee PC 1000HA on backorder. If you can find the 1000H, buy it...they're selling like hotcakes!

These TV's are WAY overpriced by this seller @ 1000 clams. The same people had it for under 600 a month or 2 ago. It wouldn't suprise me that they are discontinued from Visio. They haven't had any on their website available for quite some time. (at $659) Usually means something is up. Look around or buy something else from someone else !! I'm not a corporate ceo with millions, I'm in the 99% . . . . I need reasonable pricing in order to spend hard earned cash.

The price now is still set fairly high but keep in mind that amazon does like to set prices low for a day or two and then raise them on the fly. Once these sell out which they will the price will probably go up once this happens, it wont be the MSRP price but I beleive it will be a tad bit higher than what it is now. I just bought mine for $2849 I beleive it will be superior to the 55C7000 which had some back lighting issues (which everyone already knows about) so I would encourage those on the fence to go ahead and grab one, because this price is "reasonable" for this kinda Tv.
