Yes, that's my understanding. I was told that there are some instant rebates that are going into effect starting next Monday, due to the Super Bowl. I'm going to hold off until a week from now before making a purchase.

Anyone think these prices are going to drop a little for the Super Bowl? I almost picked it up yesterday at 1939.09 but saw this forum and thought I would wait to see if it got lower. So far it has gone back up.

Now it's back up to $3149. I don't like the fluctuation in prices. It makes me think that if I buy it, I might over pay for the TV.

It was $1800 a couple days ago at Newegg. It can only get lower as the new models start to get stocked.

i am waiting until pre-superbowl, they usually have a sale on big tvs around then. if it is still in the 1900 range i am going to bite the bullet i guess...
750587
yeh, but I search for model and then added to cart - now it's 1999.00$.Yesterday at one point it was 1899.00$

I purchased the Samsung LN52A860S2F a couple of days ago and I was told by the merchant that these tv has a better picture quality then its predacessor, but I can't find that fact anywhere. I wonder if I got tricked in to paying $200 bucks more for nothing.

Have been watching this as well. Look at the ratings. I own one and its the best LCD on the market at the moment IMHO. The lowest price I have seen here at Amazon was $2940.00 USD a while back. Which is what I got it for. Since folks have been buying it, and the ratings continue to be 4.75+ stars, the price has been creeping up towards what the local BB and CC are charging for it ($3800+ in my area). I think once the 71 and 81 series hit the streets, this one will drop for sure. But until that time, this one is top dog, at least in my house. The picture maxed out in 1080P will just blow you away!! Have been watching this as well. Look at the ratings. I own one and its the best LCD on the market at the moment IMHO.

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.

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.

Yeah, I too started looking at the TV after seeing the consumer reports review. Was going to buy it at $900, but after seeing Amazon drop the listed price by $100 and increase their price by $60 I've decided to wait. (I wonder if the consumer reports review led to an increase in demand).Since then I've seen a review or two that listed the SD quality as the TV's greatest weakness, so I'm trying to figure out what the actual consensus is.

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.

I actually just bought the 8500 today, at my local Besy Buy. They had one brand new one left at the store (although they did say that they had about 30 left at the warehouse here in St. Loius). I was able to get it for $2950. The salesman said I basically paid their cost for the TV. Not sure really believe that... Anyhow, I must say, this is quite possibly the best picture I have ever seen on a TV. I was going to wait until the 3D 8000, however, after reading a bunch of reviews, and seeing the 3D 8000 at my local Ultimate Electronics, I decided to just go with the 8500.

It's comparable in price with most other retailers -- +/- $30. If you have the option, like I did, to get it locally so it doesn't have to be shipped, that would be the best way to go. But, yes, price-wise Amazon is in the same range as other suppliers of this TV.

Thanks for the info, Donald.I'm still amazed at how the price fluxuates on these sets. The 52XBR6 currently sells on the Dell site for $3000, whereas other places online have it for less than $2300. That's a huge difference. And you never know what the price is going to be at Amazon. It goes up or down $200 or less every day.I'm happy with the price I paid for the set. If it goes down $200 in the next few days I won't cry a river. I could have paid much more a couple months ago.

One possibility is that supplies of this model are getting scarce. Samsung probably aren't manufacturing this 2009 model any longer, and it was the most highly rated 50 inch Samsung plasma TV (most sites rated it more highly than the PN50B860) so the demand for it may be greater than for their other models. I ordered it Sunday, deciding that Amazon would most likely lower its price if its competitors did, and Amazon will refund the difference between what you paid and a lower price if you are within 30 days of the price reduction.' I figured any post super bowl reduction would come within that time period. One possibility is that supplies of this model are getting scarce.

Amazon is still selling this TV, but it is a little bit more expensive. Please check http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-PN50A550-50-Inch-1080p-Plasma/dp/B0015AD2JK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8

Very good points. I noticed the 630 last night actually was in the $1400s. It seems to have been raised over night.I'm not in marketing, but it seems to me they adjusted the 630's price in order to make the 650 appear as if it is a good deal. Which don't get me wrong. $1550 is a great price for this TV based on other suppliers. However, it's illogical that they are raising the price unless they are simply trying to make more money or are getting low on stock. Either way, like you Stratixman, I won't buy it from amazon at this price. I had planned to use amazon but if they don't lower it back to where it was a week ago, I'll be using newegg. I'll give it a couple days but after that, newegg will have my business. Very good points. I noticed the 630 last night actually was in the $1400s.

The 7 Series is back on Samsung's website (you have to search for it). I don't think it has anything to do with how it's being marketed in other countries.Apparently the new models are coming out and most retailers have dropped their prices. Some large retail stores aren't even displaying these models. Looks like they are trying to get rid of their inventory.Even the ultra expensive Samsung UN46B8500 and UN55B8500 have come down substantially in price.

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.

The most likely answer is when this hdtv was shown at the 2013 CES (Consumer Electronics Show) many retailers thought it would sell well so bought a lot of them, but due to Cnet's review of the tv nobody bought it creating an overstock and a price drop due to the CES's date of jan 7 for the new 2014 models. Don't quote me on this though as I am not entirely sure this is why.

Im getting this tv at Best Buy if Amazon doesn't drop the price back down to around 1900 where it was 2 weeks ago. They keep raising the price and that is kinda of ridiculous. I can get this TV under 2k at my local Best Buy.
