Amazon is out of stock...Samsung has discontinued this TV and is moving on to their 2008 models.

I just posted the same question - I was 1 week away from buying this TV (pay day) and suddenly it's only being sold by a 3rd party. Amazon DID begin carrying the item after your post (Oct 2007) but I wonder if this was the final runout :(

I got the lnt4671 for a steal a week before Christmas. I paid $1,145.00 with $54.00 shipping at Amazon's Warehouse Deals, and it is in perfect condition. The only difference was that it came in an Amazon brown box. It's $1,866.00 there today. I'm giddy over this TV - it's the best!

Apparently this TV is on back order. Amazon called today to try to get me to substitute the TV for the 55UB8500 model. Not sure if it's worth it yet, still researching and comparing the two models.

The lighning deal was 400., it's now listed at 548., but I'd imagine it may drop in the next month or so. The model came out in 2008, I believe. I've had it less than a week now, so far seems very good. I really haven't had a chance to fully explore it yet. Using it as a bedroom TV.

I purchased Samsung 58" plasma PNC58C7000 from amazon website. The seller: Beach Camera. I was busy with work and did not get to open the box until 10 days later. I was horrified to find the TV screen Damaged. Beach Camera refusing to return the TV. Any suggestions? I am stuck w a $ 2200 TV. ThanksSamsung PN58C7000 58-Inch 1080p 3D Plasma HDTV (Black)

I was wondering that myself. I pre-ordered this one about a month ago (at that time it was a ridiculous $319.99) and I'm trying to be patient as I wait. I e-mailed them, noting that Vizio had them available now, and they said there is no known release date for Amazon. If anyone knows when it will be available it'd certainly help ease my anticipation

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 found this tv at the electro world.com for 780.00 dollars new with 20.00 dollars shipping. yeah right does anyone know of this company or website? would amazon match this price to keep me as a customer?

The 55 has been out for weeks. I guess they ran out of initial stock. I love the tv. Great value for the $$.

And now it simply states that they are out of stock, with no estimated time of delivery.I honestly wouldn't have bought my Panasonic TV if the combination deal on the set AND the glasses wasn't so good. If I'm never to recieve the glasses, are they going to cut the total price to reflect that?

The one Amazon sold me was a Samsung panel going by the code used in the serial number. Samsung for some reason uses more than one manufacturer to build their panels. Perhaps it is to produce less expensive versions of this model for people who live in poorer countries. From what I understand from reading the official HU8550 forum on AVSForum, there are other dealers who are undercutting retailers like Amazon and Best Buy selling the cheaper non-Samsung panel versions, but Amazon was not one of them. This is likely why Amazon does not price match some electronics stores as what they sell is not a direct match in quality to Amazon's products despite using the same model name to describe the TV.

Contact Amazon for official policies on pre-sell prices. Vizio's website states that this TV is slated to go on sell this month. I contacted them a couple of days ago and they told me that they shipped a bunch to Amazon and other Vizio retailers as well. It is now up to Amazon to launch these things. I am cautiously optimistic that this thing will be in my living room within two weeks. (As long as I have it before football season anyways.)

I was wondering the same thing. The LN40B550, at $935, has a reasonable discount. I noticed that it took longer for Amazon to start shipping the B530, and BestBuy and Sears appear to often run out of that model, so maybe there is a shortage right now. (Perhaps Samsung is busy pumping out B550s instead?)
