Warren, I cannot decipher any difference between the 2 models listed. I think they are one in the same. That said, if the merchant told you that it is better than its predecessor, that may indeed be true--if he is comparing it the 61/71 series or the 65 series from last year's model line. But even Samsung's website doesn't mention the S2F being any sort of an upgrade or anything like that. I've been looking at the A860 for a while. The slim depth plus its couple extra features make it a bit more attractive than the 6 or 7 series lines.

No, they have some differances. To get a complete list, visit Lg.com and look at the specks on both. Both are great TV's.

yeah dont get this tv my friends has it. the problem with it is fuzzy picture. i did a comparison with my own 1080p Lns-4095d samsung tv. Even though my tv is relatively older it didnt have fuzzy pic. Also note that both were using hdmi cable. however the LN-T5265F did not want to swtich to a 1080p resolution. everytime we did it got static. also note that all tests were done using a ps3. I recommned a Samsung however not this one.

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 have the LNT5265F and I love it love it love it! A friend has a Pana Plasma. I don't think Plasma has come far enough yet. Plasma has the potential to be better than LCD, but not yet. Go with the Samsung. I have 3 Samsungs 52", and 2 40" and they are all great.

It's not your configuration. The tv quality is just my great. I have regretted this tv purchase wet since I bought it. I should have went with the samsung. If you do figure out something that improves it, please let me know because I had tried everything.

Jedi Master: I have the same concern about one of my Samsung TVs. The screen reads 1920x1080i, 60Hz. I'm aware that in the US, all electricity is at 60Hz, so I wonder why Samsung would have made this spec so prominent on the display, when instead it could have put the refresh rate instead. Any ideas?

Kurt,Thanks for your help.We liked the reviews on the KDL-52V5100 better than the kdl-46V5100 and bought it as a bundle with the PS3 hope we didn't make a mistake, I don't know why the 52 inch tv in this model had better reviews than the 46 inch. I hope this isn't a stupid question but what is a 8-bit panel and a 10-bit panel and should we have gone with the 10-bit panel tv?Thanks Dede

Thanks, Tolik - you helped me decide- upgradability and the game modes are big things. The Samsung seemed to have more power but I've learned you can't really rely on what they say the wattage is. I haven't owned enough Samsung equipment in the past to know what to expect - the TV is great but a sound system is another story.Mark - thanks for the CD info - for some reason I thought I'd get even better sound with a dedicated player ... if you can give me the model # on the Kenwood I might be interested (with over 400 CDS, a changer is sweet.).Don

samsung ln52b630 is on a swivel stand so the viewing angle is fixed as in wall-mounted LCDs. you can swivel the HDTV to be at the viewing angle desired! : )

Has anyone played games on it?I just bit the bullet and bought the Samsung LN40A550 based on reviews. (Got ps3 for blue ray discs and I watch A LOT of movies.) I also like to play FPS and other games with a lot of movement and action. Has anyone noticed any sort of ghosting or blurring when they play games on it? Bad thing to wonder about AFTER I buy the tv, but I'm sure it'll still be worth it when I see my movies in a new-1080p-light.

Can't help with the model but it seems these DLP TVs are pretty generic across the Samsung line and they also seem to share the same faults. The bulb housing in mine fused to the ballast cable (melted) and I broke the cable terminal in removing the bulb housing. Thus the $65 ballast had to be replaced because you can't get the $20 cable separately and so I did replace both the bulb/housing and the ballast. These TVs run too hot for Samsung's little muffin fans. I now have an external fan plugged into the cable box blowing into the TV. This extra air flow has cured an intermittent audio issue. Google 'Samsung DLP TV crackling' and you will learn about the audio problem. Maybe it will show up in your TV.

I called Toshiba about this and was told it's just a market difference. The TVs are the same, the models just vary in each market. I guess online retailers just mix up the models.

I am looking at both of these models as well. I bought a Samsung 42" LCD 2.5 years ago and it is now failing. (Estimated repair cost for 1 of the 3 problems it is now having is $850.) Not a good track record for my money. So, I will probably go with the Sony. Has anyone had any repair problems with the Sony LCD's?

I ordered the F9000 65in twice and both were damaged in route by two different carriers, so I never even received them but was refunded instead. I also did not received a UN8500 55in tv for the same reason. I might just have to buy a future tv in a store, I guess. Now, I think that I will just wait for a 75in Samsung Ultra-Dev coming out in April 2014 but will wait until the price comes down. Sorry I cannot answer your particular question.
