They have 7 series LEDs but no 7 series LCDs.The lowest price I saw for the LN46B750 was $1159 at US-Appliance in November. I'm waiting for it to hit $1120 or lower (w/free shipping of course).

Word is that it is no longer on the site because the new models are supposed to be released soon.I have been watching the price for a while too, and Amazon's is about the best at the moment, though you can watch Slickdeals.net forums for new deals.

The only reason I can see is that Samsung discontinued this t.v, and with the overall design is not as space efficient as any of Samsungs other dlp televisions. I have this one and also a 720p set by samsung which I bought in 10-2006. Just to let you know, Samsung also has on sale a 50" DLP 720p set for $899. I bought this one, and gave the 720p set to my parents, and to be honest with you I didnt notice a difference at all. If youre just breaking into the HD world, Id suggest getting one of the HLT models from samsung that is on sale now on amazon. You wont notice a difference, save yourself hundreds, and will less likely have problems with the set, as I and many others have with this particular model.

Can't help with the model but it seems these DLP TVs are pretty generic across the Samsung line and they also seem to share the same faults. The bulb housing in mine fused to the ballast cable (melted) and I broke the cable terminal in removing the bulb housing. Thus the $65 ballast had to be replaced because you can't get the $20 cable separately and so I did replace both the bulb/housing and the ballast. These TVs run too hot for Samsung's little muffin fans. I now have an external fan plugged into the cable box blowing into the TV. This extra air flow has cured an intermittent audio issue. Google 'Samsung DLP TV crackling' and you will learn about the audio problem. Maybe it will show up in your TV.

M.Becker What website I can find information about new Samsung 6 and 7 series is coming out on March? Thanks

I agree D. I guess Amazon deleted them because they don't want people to hold off buying the TV just because they think the price will decrease. To Amazon, they'd prefer it if MORE people paid 1749 for the TV than a reduced price of say1249. My thing is: why make the link to this forum available in the first place?

I purchased Samsung 58" plasma PNC58C7000 from amazon website. The seller: Beach Camera. I was busy with work and did not get to open the box until 10 days later. I was horrified to find the TV screen Damaged. Beach Camera refusing to return the TV. Any suggestions? I am stuck w a $ 2200 TV. ThanksSamsung PN58C7000 58-Inch 1080p 3D Plasma HDTV (Black)

I agree with Gina. I did extensive research back in 1/07 about the DLP bulb vs DLP LED. I went with the LED since Samsung claimed it would last 20,000 hrs vs 3,000 with the Lamp. So, as a result, I did not get the best buy extended warranty b/c they said this thing was good for a lifetime. There is no bulb to replace so I went with the LED. BTW-it's the Samsung 56" DLP w/LED. Just yesterday, this thing died! I calculated at most I've used this TV for 2000 hrs and it's a goner. The LED engine costs $800 to replace...now what kind of benefit is that? At least the DLP lamp version allows you to replace the bulb for about $150. This is ridiculous and unless they do something for me to fix this, I will never buy a samsung again. STAY AWAY!

The one Amazon sold me was a Samsung panel going by the code used in the serial number. Samsung for some reason uses more than one manufacturer to build their panels. Perhaps it is to produce less expensive versions of this model for people who live in poorer countries. From what I understand from reading the official HU8550 forum on AVSForum, there are other dealers who are undercutting retailers like Amazon and Best Buy selling the cheaper non-Samsung panel versions, but Amazon was not one of them. This is likely why Amazon does not price match some electronics stores as what they sell is not a direct match in quality to Amazon's products despite using the same model name to describe the TV.

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

yeah... thats the edge lit LED. These sets have been discontinued by Samsung and a rumoured 9 series is on its way. Either way, if you go the LED route, it should have local dimming, like Samsungs 8500. There are also a few LGs and I believe a SONY that has it. But probably all future LED sets that come out will use this tech. so you will just have to play the waiting game. but i'm sure the cost will be higher. i think this plasma would be "good enough" (a relative term as this set is probably better than 98% of the sets out there!). and a heck of a lot cheaper!

I'm sorry to disappoint you , but all flat screens do not come with stands.In my search for the best deal on the Samsung LN T4665H LCD I ran across twointernet sellers who charge extra for the stands. One in particular "TVDepot" actually had a very good deal on the TV including shipping. I askedfor the bottom line price and was happy to order the TV. That afternoon Ireceived a phone call from "TV Depot" asking me what type of mount I wanted.I said I would just stay with the standard base mount that came with it. Hethen informed me that it did not come with a base mount and that that basewould cost me an extra $199.99.

I just checked on Amazon again. They are listing it for $1139 once you have put it in the "cart" and are at check-out. They are currently out of stock, but you can pre-order at this price. I purchased a Samsung PN50B650 couple of months ago and could not be happier with it. I paid $979.98 from V a n n s . c o m, but they no longer have it at that price. I want to buy another one for my parent's 50th wedding anniversary present; I sure hope the price comes down again by then.

Why? One is because they are the most advertised on the market. Inasmuch as they are also more expensive, one thinks they are buying better quality than other lower cost tv's. The LED Samsung does get a good picture but they have capacitor problems and a class action law suit because of it. Maybe it would be better for them to fix and repair the capacitor problems before they happen and even afterwards at no cost? The power board (repair $535.) is designed by them to last 2-5 years, not long for an expensive tv. It comes down to a choice of tv's and all tv's will get negative reviews. What you end up with in that regard I would think would be sheer luck. If you purchase an expensive tv, I would definately recommend consideration of an extended warranty which adds more cost. One breakdown covers that. Therefore I personally pick one that is rated good and include a warranty. My recent purchase now has a 5 year warranty for $60. If after the 5 years i have a major problem, it's not a great loss to replace it.

I got it when it was just over $1,000. It seemed like the prices kept going up a bit and down. I need to replace my 42" LCD due to a toy hitting it and I couldn't wait any longer as the TV was just getting worse. Good luck on the prices! Too bad this one doesn't come with the deal of the day that that 42" plasma has. :(

I got this tv back in 06, you would be hard pressed to find one much newer. If you got a warranty from a used seller I would guess that it wouldn't be much. 30 days? You'd be better off at this point seeking out an LCD model. You would spend less and get more. I love plasma, but it is a bit old.

I have been tracking the 4095/4096, 4061, and 4065 for a while now and have spent some time on the phone with Samsung to learn the differences. The 4095 and 4096 were both at one time quite affordable on Amazon. They are last year's models and thus if you can find them either have a low price tag because they are old or a slightly higher pricetag well, simply because people still show interest in these TVs. Both received excellent reviews and were amongst the best rated LCDs of 2006. As far as 2007 goes - the 4061 and 4065 have stepped in. The 4065 is a replacement of the 4096, with a higher contrast ratio and additional HDMI inputs. The 4061 is really just a step below that with slightly lower quality speakers. However, from what I have read the 4061 has a new image processor over last year's models. The 4061 also has a slightly lower contrast ratio than the 4065. Having seen all of these models in store - I can tell you visually, you will never truly see a difference between the 4061 and 4065. With proper calibration and settings - most LCDs can be made to look fantastic, and the 4061 is simply above par. Despite its semi-poor sound, if you hook it up to a receiver and use other speakers, it doesnt really matter. Amazon is the way to shop - prices are always coming down - and remember to check back after purchase for they will reimburse you if the price drops lower within the month. Hope this helps.
