Keep an eye on those prices! When amazon was taking preorders for the B650, it was at retail price $2099. The day it was released it went down to $1800. After that, the price fluctuated day-to-day, and I grabbed it on a day it was at $1649. Now it's at $1784. When the B630 is posted on amazon, I suggest adding it to your cart, and then checking your cart several times a day because each time you go in it will tell you the new price.

Well to answer my own question, it was listed on vanns.com just yesterday and said coming soon. Now it says will ship Tuesday:http://www.vanns.com/shop/servlet/item/features/462831579/samsung-ln-46b630Hopefully once released, the price will drop like every other item.

lol I love it, it's already down to $1529.98 on vanns.com from $1799.98 just yesterday. If it's still that price on Tuesday, consider it ordered.

The LN46B630 and the LN46B650 both have "Wide color enhancer" if the two website you listed are correct.

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.

I asked Samsung about the 630 via e-mail and they said to call their support line. When I did, the woman couldn't tell me anything about the matte version of the 650, even after checking with someone else. She didn't even know the A630 was the matte version of the A650, no less anything about the B versions. I gave up and just ordered the B650 because I couldn't wait anymore. :) You may want to try calling Samsung support, 1-800-726-7864, 7 days a week from 9 am to 9 pm EST.

Thanks everyone--I really appreciate your answering! A matte screen is a must have for me and they are getting very hard to find! Can't understand the attraction to those shiny reflective screens! You all have been very helpful!

FYI -- estarling makes a much better 8" screen with 800x600 nowadays. The wireless setup is still sub-par, but it seems they all still are. The online service is free, and is pretty decent. I have zero complaints. The new version really does have one of the best screens I've seen, and I saw the old 7" one, which was amazingly horrible.

I think you're correct and would stay with current firmware. I didn't realize they were coming out with a 10" frame. I'd be interested in more info on that. Is it posted anywhere? Thanks

I agree with I.Peter, I took a look at the B630 at my local Electronics Expo which was opposite a front window and I really didn't notice an issue with glare. My local best buy didn't have a B640 and with no windows and very high lights I'm not sure I would have noticed the glare.I did notice that Expo was lower on price and when I ready I'll see what they can do.

I've seen the 47" at Frye's (in California), it looks nice. I want the 5500 too. Just can't decide on 42" or 47". The LG matt screen finish helps with daytime glare from a window. Samsungs are too shinny.

I'm late to the discussion, but we had the same problem with stuck pixels. (A small thin line that grew to a long, thicker line, starting exactly a week after we bought it.) Amazon is replacing the set, and the new set should be here by 4 PM today. I tried Samsung too. They sounded like they were going to be a lot slower/more annoying about the whole situation. Now we are nervous about the new set but optimistic. Evidentially, it's not a widespread problem. I'm holding off writing my review until I see if this set manages to keep working!

I just got off the phone with Vizio's customer service. According to the person I spoke to the screen is matte. Who's correct, Vizio's customer service rep or the postings? I'll wait until I physically see the TV for myself.I appreciate your help.

They are releasing a Matte model, but is only in black has 3 hdmi ports instead of 4. It is model #lnxxa630. It has AMP and 120hz, 40,000 to 1 contrast and so on. I don't think it will have the ability to play videos though.

I know this is matte, but it was not answered here. The problem with matte finish is they make the text fuzzy or blurry which is the reason I hate matte. So can somebody please tell me how is the text on this monitor. My U2412M which my son uses mostly in games, gives me a headache when I uses it to read news, stock rating, reviews like this.

I do not know. But I am getting my screen in the next couple of days so I will be able to update this if I remember how in the next few days :-)

Hmmm, now I can't find any mention of a release date. I've been looking at a ton of tablets, so I could be wrong about Feb, but I'm pretty sure it was "early next year". Maybe I read it on one of the replies to questions on about the current version. Were you able to cancel your order for the one that's available now? I wish I would have ordered it when it was $199.

Hello,Good morning! Part number LP156WH3 (TL) (T1) is actually for a matte screen but should be compatible with the glossy screen you are looking at. Please let us know if you have any other questions.Sincerely,AlexisVIVO Customer Support

Hello guys. I am in the same boat . Torn between NC10 Special Edition and upcoming NC110. So I went to Samsung website. Difference is NC110 has glossy screen, HD audio according to the site . Everything else is same inc. ability to upgrade ram to 2gb and battery life. Hope this helps a little bit.

Hi, AJRunner,Do you have any idea when new Samsung TAb 8.9 comes out? I still feel that 10" tab is to big and to heavy as portable device so I hope that Samsung will make 8.9 Tab that will be not as heavy and thick as, say, ACER iconia 500 or Motorola Xzoom that are too thick and heavy in my view. If so, I may go with it. Do you know release date and features of Samsung 8.9 Tab?Thanks
