I'm also looking for some deals, and price fluctuate like Stock market.. and no 30 days price match from amazon. I found that http://www.frys.com/product/5915244 is selling it for 2029 and no shipping cost. I would love to buy from amazon but .....not ready to pay 300 dollars more for the same.

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.

Guys I placed order last night for this TV+DVD+Glasses combo deal $1290. I got 3y warranty and I pay NY sales tax so total is close to $1600. Wish I had a %20 coupon... Still overall a good deal and I can always return it with Amazon excellent service. Will post review in few days. If you have coupons pls send I will try to apply it.

Yes, well known Amazon SCAM. They did this with other HDTV sets earlier. The basic idea is that they will match all of the major stores BF ads online. People prefer to stay home and order from Amazon for the same price instead of waiting for hours at Best Buy or Walmart. However what they don't tell you is that they have two of each to sell and the deals are gone in an instant. Now people are forced to buy it at FULL PRICE. Notice that the TV sets are NOT OUT OF STOCK. They are IN STOCK, however you can only buy it for the FULL PRICE. You have lost a customer for life, you dirty scamming bastrds!!!!

I was contemplating picking up this tv for a few days. I was looking at it the night before the coupon came out. I had decided to wait a few more days but went to look at it again one more time on the website just after midnight pacific time and noticed the price had just jumped from 1999 to 2464. Luckily the other merchants that sell through amazon had not raised their prices yet and i was still able to get it for 1999. Woke up the next morning and almost cancelled my order thinking amazon lowered the price again due to the misleading email that i received about 6 in the morning. Good thing i stayed up late that night. I was contemplating picking up this tv for a few days. I was looking at it the night before the coupon came out.

I think the price went up because Sony was having a promotion that if you bought the TV together with a home theater system, the home theater system was essentially free. Now that the promo is over, I suspect the TV price will drop.

What a cheap trick by Amazon. Amazon posted this Samsung for $1999 two weeks ago, and now raises price and offers $300 coupon. Sorry Amazon, can't fool consumers. TV always goes lower not higher.

I bought the SONY KDL 46vl160 in the month of November, 2009 from Costco. The TV ran great through Feb 2014 - when it died on me suddenly, the TV LCD panel would not turn on but I can hear the sound. Sony Authorized Service Center Technician checked it and viola - the LCD panel is gone and I have to pay almost the price of the TV to get one (all of the $950 down the drain as warranty expired on the TV). My friend bought a Vizio during the same and he SOLD the TV in Jun 2014 - though I had the privilege of having a superior TV for 4 years - all my money is gone. Moral of the story please be careful when you want to spend your hard end dollars on the so called "BIG BRANDS". I bought the SONY KDL 46vl160 in the month of November, 2009 from Costco.

Matt, the price creep is really annoying! I was about to buy this thing last week for $2199, but wanted to wait till I got home because I had $75 worth of Amazon credits that I wanted to apply. By the time I got home, the price has risen by $85!!! So unfuriating! Then it dropped another $15. I felt like I was watching the stock market! Feeling like a sucker, I finally bit the bullet yesterday and purchased the TV for $2269. I'm glad I didn't wait until today because the price increased another $50! I don't know why they do this, but it makes me very uncomfortable as a customer. Will the price drop again by tonight? I feel like I'm a rat in a market-testing experiment. I wonder whether all of Amazon's customers see the same price or do some customers get higher prices depending on how often they express interest in a product by re-visiting the same page? I remember a few years ago Amazon gave slightly different pricing info to people who had an item saved to their wish lists.

Did you find yours online? I found a "save 15% on select electronics and accessories" on the back of a catalog, but I get a "We're sorry, the coupon code you have entered has already expired or has reached the maximum redemption limit." error. Bummer! Now if only Amazon would listen up and drop the price they would have my money already!

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 purchased this TV from Amazon on Oct 31, since then the price has dropped significantly 3 times. Each time I have contacted Amazon customer service, and have been credited with the additional savings based on its current sale price. As of Friday, I have been refunded over $400.00 off my original sales price!The 2 pieces of advice I offer are; First purchase the TV, it it truly outstanding .. Second, contact Amazon for a sales refund the moment you notice a lower price to insure you receive the refund (if you wait a day, the price may increase again.)I hope this post helps, and I hope you enjoy your new Samsung LNT5271F 52" as much as I do!

Don, If you scroll down past all the promo code deals you come to the terms and conditions. Read these and you will know more than you ever wanted about promo codes. As I understand it: the promo codes only apply to Amazon purchases and dealers offering a promo. Hope this helps. loueasy

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.

You can buy the KDL-46Z4100 from Sony for $1,799.99 -- free delivery. What's with Amazon? http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&productId=8198552921665411950

I have been watching the price of this HDTV as well and I think that the practice of offering a coupon (which implies a discount) but then increasing the price by more than the value of the coupon is very misleading. It would seem from the comments above/below that other consumers feel the same way.

Hello. I am almost close to selecting KDL52V4100. All you owners of the TV, would u know if the screen has matte finish? I wanted to see this TV in BB but could not find it. so I havent seen it. I have seen SHARP and LG HDTVs and they have excellent matte finish. Can you please tell me how is screen finish for this SONY TV ?
