I have the 58B860 and really enjoy the tv. I even encourage my dad to purchase one. I believe the only difference between the two tv's is the 3d technology. If you want 3d then I would say go with the c8000, but if you want a tv that is alot cheaper, and has great picture quality, then go for the 58b860. You may be able to find the 58b60 at a local retail store on clearance. I purchased mine for 1699.00 and my dad purchased his for 1529.00 from HHgregg. Hope this helps.

where did you buy it for such a low price? whats hhgregg? my curiosity gets me when i see on the samsung website the MSRP for the 860 still at over 3k and the new c8000 at 2899. you would think the c8000 would be higher... unless they think the 860 is a better TV.

The single pane glass was the reason why I chose the 860 model. To me it takes away from the picture and the viewing experience. Maybe that is not the case for all double pane tv"s. I do not know if the c8000 is single glass, but I have heard that it is a great tv. You are correct about LCD LED, the price is not justifiable. People have complained about burn in issues of plasma. I have had four plasma tv's and I have not had any issue with burn in. There may be some slight image retention, but that goes away. That is a good idea to go to bestbuy and test the tv. Will you buy online or at store. The single pane glass was the reason why I chose the 860 model. To me it takes away from the picture and the viewing experience.

Hi, I was able to locate the model number. It is 58065D and can purchased here on Amazon here: http://amzn.com/B00002NC58, You may be able to find it cheaper someplace else but I am not allowed to input links from other sites.

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.

There are only two differences (besides price). The 85 has 30,000:1 contrast ratio vs. the 80's 20,000:1. Side by side the average buyer would not notice the difference, and viewed separately definitely not missed. Second, the 85 has an SVGA PC input, which in my opinion is a joke because it doesn't utilize the full 1080p anyway (only 720p at best). You would need a laptop or PC with a video card capable of either HDMI out to HDMI in on the TV, or DVI out using a DVI-HDMI cable for HDMI into the TV to get the full 1080p from a laptop or PC - assuming you even care about using the TV in that capacity in the first place. My advice is save your $$, buy the 80, and put the savings into a new or upgraded HT setup or BD player if you haven't bought one yet. A $218 difference (27% increase in price) for very little benefit is nothing to take lightly.

Yes, I use a 750 in my box; it obviously depends on your other components, though.

I went with the E3200 I got for 99 bucks on Ebay. Its real close to this one minus a few features. I love it !

Hey there! I'm in the same predicament also? I just purchased the 32m3000 series for the "cheap" price of $649 when it was available at other non competitor retailers for $550-575. (I wanted the 4 year protection plan the cheaper guys didn't offer). It's a gift for father so it's not opened yet. The only thing the store assistant said was that one model's from 2007 and the other is 2008. He didn't want to lie to me about tech knowledge he didn't know about.

Look at the description of both to compare. I am thrilled with the 9200. Call them if you're not sure.

As far as I know it's only a visual difference. I have the E751, and it sounds the same as the other. I would have preferred the E-750 as I like the wood finish better, but not at that price difference.

John Z., I purchased a 9460 because I have a 9400BS at work and love it. Both they units have a longer microphone boom with a foam tip.

Anyone have ideas? I'm looking at either the newer 810 or last year's 1000 as well. Specs looks similar. Thanks.

I'm in the same boat. I'm trying to decide between the 7411 & the 5914. I've seen the reviews, both seem to be good. It's my assumption that the 7411 is a newer model and it's only $20 more. Is it worth the extra or will the 5914 be just as good?

I looked at both and bought the 750....for the price (and difference) you are really looking at how important a super thin TV is to you, if saving $2 a month on your energy bill makes that big of a difference, or if you are that nuts about LED, for $800 I wasn't. 200,000 to 1 as a Dynamic contrast ratio is more than enough (you can't really tell much more of a difference). If you really wanna get the LED and are willing to spend that kind of money get the 8000 (even thinner and edge lit led). Because of the models above and below it, and price differences I don't see the 7000 making much sense unless you find a unique deal that only has that set on sale.

I'm in the same boat. Been researching all morning and have narrowed down to the same 2. Best review I've found is on pcmag... with bottomline given as "If you need a scanner that scans both film and prints, but you are more concerned with the prints, the 8800F is an ideal choice. If your needs are more film-based than print-based, look at the V500 for excellent film scanning."

From the comments I've seen, it looks like the Kenwood DNX891HD has gotten rave reviews and scant criticism. Its a completely different OS. The software was written by a different party than the DNN991HD. I haven't sprung for the 891 since I already have the 991. If the prices come down significantly, then I will probably make that swap.

Go with the 50c8000 the "Real Black Filter" makes a hell of a difference. You cant go wrong with this TV.
