In the ConsumerReports 2014 Buying Guide it shows the "Samsung WA422PRHDWR" as the #2 Top Loader (pg 143). How can it be so good there and bad here?

I agree...we did our "research" and bought based on that when the model was new and those were the only reviews to go by. However we were do disappointed after $17k in damage caused to our home by the drain pump falling out the first time, only to have it fall out again. We were out all of our time and money plus had to buy another washer since we would never trust running that one again. If you feel comfortable buying it after all of the horror stories then go for it. Everyone's comfort level is different. But my experience is this is the worst purchase I've ever made and it ruined our lives for a year dealing with Samsung, insurance company, flooring installer, water remediation, mold issues, etc.

Sorry I have no idea. I always thought Samsung built in house and did not out source. Not sure how you find this out or why it would matter. I'm sure you have a good reason to find this out, good luck. I can say that after a full year of 7 - 9 hours use practically everyday this TV is working just fine.

Thanks for your answer, JD! I thought so. Oh, I saw it at Best Buy--I was SO impressed with it. I wasn't even thinking Samsung until I saw it. Samsung has really outdone themselves with this one, I think! I haven't even read of any major problems with it yet, so that's encouraging! Keep me updated and let me know if there are any little bugs with the TV.

I ordered mine from amazon on Sunday and it was delivered yesterday. I am returning the samsung pn50c7000. I guess I ordered it at the perfect time.

I just ordered the HP W2207. I went back and forth trying to decide on both, because Samsung has a really great reputation. However, the HP W2207 seemed to have better reviews. No bleeding, tilts for both landscape and portrait views, etc. I saw over and over again where people said it was by far the best display out there right now at this size and price. I saw lots of consistent negatives for the Samsung 226BW: Bleeding; the VERY annoying blue light on the power button which stays on even in sleep mode; the loud, constant buzzing noise after adjusting brightness (most all said it's default brightness is WAY too bright and needs to be dimmed- which means there'll always be the buzzing); no tilting to portrait view; and no height adjustment. Although it can be mounted on the wall, the mounting equipment must be bought separately. The only negative comments I saw repeated with the HP were the possible glare if light hits the screen (because of the glossy screen), and it is more compatible with a PC than a Mac, although it works fine with Macs, there were comments that it is truly best suited for a PC. So it seems as if the HP2207 is probably newer and is overall a better buy. So we'll see how great it is when it gets here. Hope this helps...if you've not already made your decision.

This particular model is 500GB. Samsung also has the "Pro" model of the same series that is well worth the extra investment if you are an enterprise or extremely heavy user. A heavy user is someone who writes and rewrites to their drive quite often. This is the real deal. I have the non-pro model and get great R/W speeds but on SATA II connection (310R/260W).This is a great buy. Don't hesitate. I got it for $280 which made it a no-brainer!

yes, I've asked twice and haven't gotten an answer. I've returned a recall unit. If I could get a clean one, I'd buy it. I think it's a very nice product. But, I for one, am not going to pay retail for a "fixer-upper". At a "refurb" price, I'd think about it, because units below ser 3114200 are exactly that - refurbs waiting to be refurbed. I'm going to wait another week to see if I get an answer, and then just get something else. Sigh.

Well, I have the Samsung BD-P3600 and love it. I conencted to my home server PC in about 5 minutes and instantly have access to 100s of my downloaded (torrent) Divx movies. Pretty sweet. Watching YouTube videos online is pretty addictive as well through the device, the Pandora radio also works slick.... I love the machine. They released a firmware a few weeks ago which I installed as soon as I bought my player (week ago) and have not had any problems at all. Maybe the new firmware fixed things?Each to his own, but for me the player works great and is super addictive with all the extra bells and whistles. Well, I have the Samsung BD-P3600 and love it.

AP- I hope you are wrong but that is a good explaination. I notice that both Frys and Amazon are "sold out" while other stores such as CompUSA show they have them on the shelf. I'd rather wait for Amazon to buy this through. I'm a long time Amazon customer and they have yet to let me down on any item. That kind of customer service will keep me waiting for Samsung to work it all out. It's nothing I'm going to lose sleep over. But..interesting post nonetheless!

Yeah i'm not too sure about that.. I am completely satisfied with my purchase, several weeks after purchasing. Its the real deal from Samsung!

I ended up calling different manufacturer directly after getting tel no. from their web pages. Prices vary significantly between manufacturer and their answers surprised me. Samsung had no recommendations as one surprise. Hope this helps.

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!!

Thanks for the review Robert! Good tip about the 3 series of Samsung TV's against the older 2 versions. I was all set to buy an older model ending in 2, the 4272 to be exact, but now I think I'll wait.......

Yeah, I saw that they were matching Walmart's price too. But who wants to deal with Walmart? Not me. No thanks. been there, done that, and never again. I know if I have any problem, Amazon's C.S. will take care of me.Also, I used to work at Best Buy selling HDTV's and while there are better units out there performance wise at this size (around 40"), none do as much as this Toshiba for the money. In fact, you would have to pay at least double or triple to see a major difference in performance with the higher end models with similar specs.Frankly, I don't know how Walmart and Amazon are making any money at all on these . . .

As best I can determine, this is a proprietary model specifically made for BestBuy so that they can price it lower than the standard 32LN5300 LED TV's offered at other locations. Thereby they can say that it is not the same model sold elsewhere. This way they can monopolize the market.
