Differences between 504 and 506, 505? The 506 seems to have a faster processor, larger drive, and a TV tuner. The TV tuner is absent in the 504 if I read things correctly. It seems the 506 is well worth the upgrade. If you look on the web, samsclub sells what they call a 505 that seems to have the same specs as the 506. The 505 at Samsclub is about two hundred dollars cheaper. Does anyone know if this is a typo or if there really is a 505 and, if so, where it fits in in terms of specifications.

Do you know if the 504 &506 are wall mountable? They mention that the 25" models are wall mountable, but the 22" models don't say anything about it. Thanks

The 600U has a few more bells & whistles. It accepts a cable card if your cable company supports that, has a VGA input for your computer, can display picture in picture (or split screen!) from 2 sources, has better speakers, and in my humble opinion looks a little nicer. There is no difference in the picture quality, both will have the same great picture. Both display in the same resolution. I just had to make the decision on what to buy, and I saved the $$ and got the 60U last week. The only perk I was really interested in was the picture in picture, but that's wasn't worth it to me, and Dish Network has a HD receiver that will do it internally (if I go that route). Anyway, hope this helps! Matt

I think you meant the UN40H5500 vs the UN40EH5300. I have the UN40H5500 and I don't think there is a UN40EH5500. The UN40H5500 is the 2014 model, and the UN40Eh5300 is the 2013 model. I think the major difference is that they changed the Smart Hub function, and used a better computer chip in the UN40H5500. Its a quad-core not dual chip. The Smart Hub runs faster and better. If you're going to use Netflix or the other Smart Hub functions, I recommend the UN40H5500 over the UN40EH5300.

The only major differences between the 507 and 607 is that the 507 is 5.1 while the 607 supports 7.1. Also, the 607 has a Faroudja chip for video upscaling...but most professional reviews recommend using the passthrough feature and letting the tv do the work. The Faroudja chip was revolutionary when it came out about 10 years ago...but time has passed it by and most tv's these days do a better job of processing. If you don't need 7.1 then I would say the 507 is a better value..

If I look at the specs on that one, it appears that the difference is the Intel Quick Sync Video for fast video encodingand the Display Port for driving 4k displays. This might be a newer model. I would go with the NUC D54250WYK if you plan on getting a 4k tv.

I have been tracking the 4095/4096, 4061, and 4065 for a while now and have spent some time on the phone with Samsung to learn the differences. The 4095 and 4096 were both at one time quite affordable on Amazon. They are last year's models and thus if you can find them either have a low price tag because they are old or a slightly higher pricetag well, simply because people still show interest in these TVs. Both received excellent reviews and were amongst the best rated LCDs of 2006. As far as 2007 goes - the 4061 and 4065 have stepped in. The 4065 is a replacement of the 4096, with a higher contrast ratio and additional HDMI inputs. The 4061 is really just a step below that with slightly lower quality speakers. However, from what I have read the 4061 has a new image processor over last year's models. The 4061 also has a slightly lower contrast ratio than the 4065. Having seen all of these models in store - I can tell you visually, you will never truly see a difference between the 4061 and 4065. With proper calibration and settings - most LCDs can be made to look fantastic, and the 4061 is simply above par. Despite its semi-poor sound, if you hook it up to a receiver and use other speakers, it doesnt really matter. Amazon is the way to shop - prices are always coming down - and remember to check back after purchase for they will reimburse you if the price drops lower within the month. Hope this helps.

The '908 has built in Wifi and ethernet connectivity, slightly faster response time, and it's own built in apps for Netflix, Vudu, YouTube, Pandora, CloudTV and Portico (it also plays back more media formats for stuff you might want to connect via a USB thumb drive or access), whereas the '508 is more of a "monitor" that just plays JPEGS (e.g. for viewing photos on a thumb drive). So if you already have another 'box' you want to connect (like an Apple TV, Vudu, PS4 or Xbox), the '508 should be fine, whereas the '908 has built-in options for streaming video directly over wifi or ethernet.

A key difference is in video processing. The 507 passes each type of video signal through without modification. The 607 can upscale composite/component inputs to HDMI. This can reduce the number of cables going to the TV and make it a little easier to switch input sources, although it might not completely eliminate the need to fiddle with TV settings (aspect ratio/overscan, picture mode). Also, I have read that the upscaling on the predecessor 606 wasn't that good, and the 607 might be the same. If all your sources are HDMI, then this feature is not needed and the 507 might be good enough. Without knowing what input sources you have, it's hard to be more specific. Other brands will have similar distinctions at some point in their model lineup.

8350 is much better - but I'd save your money and get the 5030ub - the ultra back makes the picture pop and I swapped my 8350 for the 5030ub and made the viewing experience 100% better. Spend a little extra - you get what you pay for.

you can do a side by side comparison of the two on samsung's website. The 550 is just a notch up from the 540. The dynamic contrast ratio is higher (70,000:1 vs 60,000:1) it has one extra hdmi input in the back as well as an extra Composite (AV) input. The 550 also supports USB 2.0 (MPEG Support), and overall, the dimensions are slightly shaved down on the 550 (about a half inch height and width). Contrary to the previous (Truzzi's) post, they both actually have the same audio it would appear (SRS TrueSurround HD). To me, the differences are minor. The Costco tv is about fifty bucks cheaper but sales tax (assuming aprox 8% but depends on where you live) is going to cancel that savings out, and with Amazon, you get free delivery on the 550. Costco charges about 20 bucks for shipping and handling. some other factors to consider are: - costco extends their warranty from one to two years. - costco is running some pretty impressive deals and rebates with Direct TV

There is not much of a difference between these two models. They both have 120 CMR and are both Smart TV's. The only major difference is the functionality in the Smart TV. The 5500 has 5 panels to scroll through and the 5300 has 3. Not a great selling point. You can still do the same things on both TV's. Its just that you have more spaces on screen to put more apps on the Smart TV function.The 5300 TV was released in 2012 and the 5500 was released in 2013. I hope this answers what you need.

I really don't now the differents between the two. I read about the model #52244only and bought it. Sorry Iccan't help you.

As stated, the difference has to do with the sound features between the 540 and 550, but that would not matter if you decide to use a sound system with the television. I would go with the 540 and put the extra money you save toward a nice home theatre system...Happy holidays,

I don't know how much help I can be but I'll give it a shot. I bought the Samsung because I own a Samsung LCD 46" bought in '08. I was quite happy with that TV so I stuck with the Samsung brand. I really think the 46" has a better picture than the 65" LED. Could be because of a consequential loss of picture clarity that comes with larger screen sizes. The UN65 has a dual core processor but if you're really into "smart," I recommend the quad core (more money of course). I subscribe to NFL game replays and they won't load well (and therefore can't view) with the dual core; I have to use my quad core computer. I think the UN has a really reasonable price, but you generally get what you pay for (as the old saying goes). Bottom line . . . I like the UN65 but, at the same time, I am a little disappointed. The only way you'll ever know is to look at them side-by-side and remember, showrooms do not have real-life broadcasts (in most instances) so when you get one home, your picture may not be a great as in the showroom. Hope this helps somewhat and good luck!

thank you dsrussell..you have been very helpful. I have a small TV room and it pretty much looks like the 325 is better for me. I appreciate your responses..thank you so much. Sharon

For all practical purposes, no. The sets are almost identical, although Samsung advertises a different contast ratio for each: the 530 at 20k to 1; the 550 at at 30k to 1; and the 540 at 35k to 1. Contrast ratio specs are dubious at best and such slight differences would not be apparant, perhaps not even to the most discriminating viewer. All these sets have a fast response time (5ms) and good, solid black levels. Any one of them will produce a spectacular picture. Newer 40-inch sammys have higher contrast ratios and claim a 4ms response time (for more money of course). I still don't think you could tell the difference. Go to the Samsung website. You can compare specs on any three sets of your choice.

I have the fifty five inch. We got it for a great price at walmart. We were hesistant at first. But its a great tv. I recommend hisense. A lot of people have never heard of the brand which makes it seem like you shouldn't buy it. We have had it for about five months. We use it often and the color is great. Picture volume appearance is great.
