Samsung 4065. Do I buy now or wait for newer model. But am not sure if a newer model will be released soon?

Gamble, The other BIG difference is that the 65's HDMI inputs actually ACCEPT 1080p vs. being 1080p COMPATIBLE and scaling down to 1080i only to reformat it back to "P" like the 61. Go for the 65...I was in the same boat as you until I found that out reading my Crutchfield catalog. Only makes sense for HD-DVD (now a dead format) and Blu-Ray

I just got a refurb 46" Samsung LNT4669F from Amazon Warehouse deals and it is fantastic. Plus, we saved well over $600 by not buying new. You still get the Samsung 1-year warranty. If you don't like the condition of the t.v. when it's delivered, just refuse it. If you notice a problem later, call amazon and they will arrange pick-up for the defective television.

I'd wait till April or May, that's when the new 2011 models will be coming out. The VT25 does look real awesome but its bezel is distracting. I do not own it myself but I've been researching this model very much, including having made Fry's hookup different things to it, like Blu-rays and a PS3 while in 3D. Picture is just awesome and a lot better than the ultra thin LEDLCD from Samsung right next to it. I know the 2011 will be better, as far as quality there isn't much to improve. Well, they are improving the whole look, and the 3D aspect portion.

I don't much about the LNS4096, but I have done a lot of research on the LNS4095 which is pretty much the same TV. The 4096 has a matte finish to the image were the 4061 has a gloss finish to the image. Everything else that is different between them you can find out by read the specs on Amazon. At first I liked the matte finish of the 4095/4096 but after seeing the 4061 in person I like it more. I am planing on buying this 4061 or the 4065 in a few days as soon as I have the funds.

The 4665 was March 2007 and the 4061 was Feb 2007. I remember seeing March 2007 for the 4065 somewhere in my travels. Anyway, I just received the 4065 2 days ago - after 2 years of analysis paralysis. It is phenomenal! But let me say - I'm no audiophile or techie - just a regular person. I have not checked everything out yet - I can't get past marveling at the HD.

Not to hijack your thread but I'm kind of in the same situation. I want to get a TV for Bluray but am not sure to wait or buy now.Also, is the extra 150$ worth it from the 61 to 65 model? The only difference I can see is the 5,000 point difference in Contrast Ratio, is that worth the extra money?Thanks.

According to Samsung's website, it "will be available March 2006." Now that it is April, I would expect it soon. I will be buying it for my wife's birthday in late April. I just hope they get it in on time. I will write a review as soon as I get it.

4066 and 4065 are the same TV. I went to Best Buy today and bought the 4066 for $1699.00. I made Best Buy the match the price to Fry's store price, not online price. Fry's carried the 4065 model. Best Buy was selling it, I beleive for $1899.00.

Hey Guys, I feel the same way. I've been watching the price (LN52A650) since April when it debuted and have noticed the price flucuations starting just a few months ago. I don't get it. You mention the popularity of the new Samsung line. I think it has really gained momentum the last month or two. A lot of the retailers, (e.g. Sears, BB, Circuit City, etc.) have been pushing the whole Samsung line in their advertisments. I'm just hoping the price resumes its price decline come early fall before the start of the X-mas shopping season. Just acquired my upgraded NAD A/V receiver and TV console for the Samsung, just need the TV now. Hey Guys, I feel the same way.

What ever you do make sure that you buy the extended warranty. Mine was serviced under the manufacturer warranty, and it has never been the same, and samsung will not stand behind their mess up.

Peter...Look at the current price fo the Samsung LN40A550 at Amazon. Includes free shipping...too. Ordered mine this morning.....expected delivery end of next week. Go for it !!!!O

I suppose it will be. I don't understand the rush to a new model so quickly, especially in these economic times. Mine was on sale at Sony at the time I got it with no interest for three years, which seemed like a good deal at the time, so it'll be interesting to see what a new model will cost, if they have one. Yes, a price drop does hurt!

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!

This was posted a couple days ago: http://www.dealerscope.com/story/story.bsp?sid=83287&var;=story. The gist it that Samsung has stated that they are still on schedule of releasing this player in time for Christmas. Also, they have reduced the MSRP to 799 which means that at some point Amazon should lower its price to somewhere in the 600 range--(Just a guess about what Amazon will do). So this is good news indeed!

Take my advice and stay away. It seems to be a hit or miss with the 1600. Mine unfortunately was a miss. Lots of quality control issues for Samsung. Amazon had an alert flag on the player right after I bought mine (figures) that they were looking into the recent complaints. I see now the alert flag is off. Never did play any blu movies. Support from overseas said that the movies were too new and I would have to wait for a firmware update. Sent it back the next day and got a Sony D360 which works great. Would really liked to have the Samsung because my TV is one and it is awsome. Oh well guess I'll just have to keep another remote around. Take my advice and stay 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.......

I also called Samsung & they referred me to a local company. They want $90 just to come out but since we can't afford to fix it right now, we have been waiting. I have read a lot of people having this issue but samsung denied it. It's a shame that a fairly new tv is having such problems. I guess that they don't make them like they use to! Let me know if you get a tech out there & the outcome. I know mine will have to wait, no job, no money.
