what is the diff between VIZIO XVT553SV 55 and VIZIO XVT552SV 55 ? I know the 552 is an earlier model in 2010 but is the diff worth the higher price for 553 ? I want to buy an internet hdtv that has updated technology.

In the avsforum thread on this TV , one member reported that according to Vizio this will be released sometime in November.

I got a e-mail last week (around Oct 26 or 27th) from Vizio stating that the 554 would be available "for the holiday season" nothing about November but I'm hoping it's soon.The Vizio website page for the 554 has just added an "Add To Interest" button... that's encouraging.In the e-mail there was mention of the other sizes they will introduce (47" and I think 36") but nothing about that huge 72" or a 65" so I assuming they were scraped.

VIZIO XVT3D554SV 55-inch 1080p 480Hz 3D LED HDTV with Full Array TruLED, Smart Dimming and VIZIO Internet AppsThe Amazon product title is glitched "VIZIO 55?" it should be "VIZIO 554."

The 554 has a higher refresh rate 480Hz vs 240Hz.From what I've found the 554 won't be available until early 2011.Btw, the 72" model has been canceled, maybe they'll have a 65" model available but again we won't know until early 2011.

Amazon just dropped the price of the the vizio 553 to $1698.00. The new Vizio 554 3D is now in their pre-order, so it will not be long before it arrives in the warehouse.

FYI, I've learned that the VSX-9040 is the Canadian version of the VSX-21TXH. The only difference between the US version and the Canadian version is the Canadian version doesn't carry the "ELITE" emblem and I think the warranty period is shorter. However, the VSX-9040 has more power than the VSX-1019 and pretty much all the same features. So I am leaning toward either the VSX-9040 or the VSX-21TXH.

The VBR338 is no longer available according to the VIZIO site. From what I can see there are no major differences between a VBR337 and a VBR338. Sorry I can not be more help.

I just bought Vizio XVT473SV from Dell, which was delivered last week. Worked fine for a day or so, but I'm noticing some screen distortion/flickering occasionally. Also some audio cut-out. Some posts suggest this might be standard def vs HD channel issues. (cable) I've not had any indication of visual or audio problem yet when using the Internet Apps or when hooking up my laptop to it. But it doesn't always work right when I turn it on with it tuned to the cable box. The problem this morning with flickering was a situation with TV/cable turned on, cable tuned to a standard def channel from the night before. I tuned to an HD channel, the screen still flickered. I turned off cable and tv. Turned back on and all was well. I'm not happy to be seeing these kinds of problems within a day of having the tv though.

There is not much of a difference between these two models. They both have 120 CMR and are both Smart TV's. The only major difference is the functionality in the Smart TV. The 5500 has 5 panels to scroll through and the 5300 has 3. Not a great selling point. You can still do the same things on both TV's. Its just that you have more spaces on screen to put more apps on the Smart TV function.The 5300 TV was released in 2012 and the 5500 was released in 2013. I hope this answers what you need.

I would like to know this also. I don't think any information will be available unfortunately. I'd like to say that the original MSRP for LN55A950 was $4,199.00 and then it was increased to $4,799.00 I think. Either way many retailers selling this TV at a premium (way above MSRP). The price should drop a little because Sharp and Sony are both releasing LED sets either in October or November. I think the original $4,199.00 price was good for a TV like this, but it is definitely not worth $5,000.

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.

I don't get it either. I did a comparison on their page and I don't see a $70 difference. Seems like the 750 is just heavier.http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/subtype/subtype.do?group=televisions&type;=televisions&subtype;=lcdtv

If I look at the specs on that one, it appears that the difference is the Intel Quick Sync Video for fast video encodingand the Display Port for driving 4k displays. This might be a newer model. I would go with the NUC D54250WYK if you plan on getting a 4k tv.

Samsung has the UN65c8000 scheduled to be released in July, usually available online a few weeks before they hit the stores.I think the 55 might be to small for 3D in a larger room, waiting for it too

First difference on who is going to fulfill the order. More expensive one is fulfilled by amazon the other is not. Second im willing to bet the model number diference is a direct reference to year models. Every year they change and tweak little things or sometimes major. Google the 2 numbers seperatly and you should get an answer. Anything else feel free to ask.

I am certainly no TV guru but, I had purchased the LN40A550 & returned it & bought the LN40A650 & could not be happier! We noticed immediately that the picture looked faded on the 550 & went to one of the local retailers & found that this is a common complaint on these units. They actually had a LN40A550 & LN40A650 side by side in the store & there is a huge difference. We are very impressed with the picture quality regardless of what we are watching. We have had many friends commenting on the awesome picture on this TV. Hope this helps. Les

I own and LOVE this tv (the 8000), but I'd definitely wait. Its hard to believe that 3D won't be at least a little better, and if you decide it isn't this and the other 2010 models will, I assume, be cheaper than they are now, and will, I also assume, be available for at least a few months. I'm not at all an expert, just a lay opinion.

This TV is not yet released. Vizio appeared to have released it and my local Costco received 10, but when I went to purchase last weekend (May 12), I was told they have a defect and were being sent back to Vizio. This TV has been removed from the Costco web site and the Vizio web site, which had shown the TV as "Now Available" went to "Out of Stock" yesterday and is back to "Coming Soon" (May 17). So we are on hold waiting for this tv. It appears to be nearly the same as the SR version but with twice the contrast ratio (10M to 1 vs 5M to 1). I do hope that Vizio adds a browser to the online apps. Costco had this listed for $1299+ $49 shipping when it was on their web site. I was told that the "in-warehouse" price would be $1249, and Costco doubles the warranty to 2 years.

both the same specs, i bought the 42LV5500, but couldve saved $20 since the magic motion remote is free by amazon when you buy the 42LV5400 both have the wifi adapter. but i still love my decision, well worth the price. so right now the wise choice is to buy the 42LV5400 and get the special remote for free. this is a $1k tv for $700 not bad not bad
