Differences Between 7600 and 8600: Any idea?
1306643
I honestly am not all that interested in Smart TV as much as I am in getting the best picture quality for my own media collection. I will say that my 7600 chugs under the weight of the apps and that the 8600 with dual core would work much better. I also have a G2 which is very snappy due to having a dual core but has a lower refresh rate and no local dimming or control over tru motion. Personally I would buy the 9600 if it had NO apps at all and just did 3D and 1080p 2D. I have tried Netflix with many devices and have never been very impressed with the stream they give you. Vudu however has a much better codec and looks reasonably well, in many cases even better than my Fios HD DVR service gives me. I am hoping within the next 2 to 3 years OLED will be down in my upper price range. When that happens I will jump on it and also they will have ironed out any bugs that system may have for early adopters. What I am hoping is OLED will be as good or better than my Sony 34 inch HD CRT , only with higher resolution and perfect geometry. For motion, contrast levels and viewing angle, nothing STILL can beat the last Sony Trinitrons that rolled off the line. I have one and my only complaint is poor geometry. Good luck with whichever model you decide on. Cheers! Marty G

hi. 1/8000 = A77 . 1/4000 = A65 as for image quality I think there is no diference

If you upgrade to 4GB - only 3.25GBs useable - of system memory and reformat your dual HDDs to RAID-0, your Memory and Primary HD ratings should both increase as well. Be careful with the 8600GT because the HP Pavilion OEM power supply may not like it. A 7600GT will do nicely for a big boost in Graphics performance. The 8400 is surprisingly poor, but a 7xxx series card will not support Vista's DirectX 10.

I replaced my 760 with the 700M. It's actually the same frame. The wiring was a little different, though. I had my regular heating company hook it up at the servicing.

The 670 is slightly more powerful then the 760. But the 670 is $150 more. I'd be nore inclined to compare 670 vs 770 as they r in the same price range and the 770 is more powerful then the 670

Go with the 850. I have the 860 and from a distance of 10 feet you will not be able to tell the difference between red and blue. It's all a marketing ploy to gain a couple of extra bucks from you under the smoke and mirror extended warranty haze. Save your money. There is no difference between the 850 and 860 in terms of picture quality and that is what you should be paying your hard earned cash for. 850 vs 860...both are exceptional sets. Enjoy!

My best guess is there is virtually none. I own 3800 and I know people who have the 3880 and i can't tell a difference

Zotac GTX 760. Not the OC model but still running at 993 clock speed instead of the reference 980.

I went with the 8800 v th Epson v500. It has the LED lightbar - same. That's the major upgrade from the 8600 as far as I can tell. The deciding factor was poor software reviews for the Epson bundle. My profession is end-user software development. There's no way I want to deal with someone's poor UI or feature set or compatibility issues. I just want to scan my family photos. I own the full Photoshop CS so I can basically clean up anything. My guess is for the average user there should be no marked difference between the scratch and dust removal capabilities or the scan densities or lightbar output. Ease of use pays off every time you start the thing up. Hope this helps. I went with the 8800 v th Epson v500. It has the LED lightbar - same.

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.

according to Crutchfield the 8500 series has a screen with a higher density of pixels. It is supposed to be much brighter. I will say that the 6300 is very bright. You can watch it in daylight. You could probably find out more at Crutchfield.com

They are not close. 861:2 is golden and darker. 911/2 is much lighter. I have used both and now using 91/1/2.aybe 86 for summer?

It's just a little bit better/faster than a GTX 660 (like 10% difference). If you opt for overclocking it then it can get pretty close to a GTX 760 at stock clocks

This is a difficult question to answer - but let me take a shot (a best guess rather than an authoritative recommendation): On the face of it, the G750GM adds a 1TB drive, a 802.11AC card, and retails for less than the G750JX. So your question might be considered as a direct comparison of the GPUs involved. Here is one review of the GPUs (Google the text to find the source): "Although the GTX 860M has much less memory bandwidth and computing power, it can compete with (or sometimes even beat) the old Kepler-based GeForce GTX 770M while drawing significantly less power. Many games of 2013/2014 (Tomb Raider or BioShock Infinite, etc.) can be played fluently in FullHD resolution and very high detail settings. However, very demanding games such as Crysis 3 or Battlefield 4 will require lower resolutions and/or details. Despite its considerably higher shader count, the Kepler version is about 10 percent slower, mainly due to the worse bandwidth efficiency." Also: "The 800M series also supports Optimus to automatically switch between an integrated graphics card and the Nvidia GPU." This latter should translate to battery longevity. Another site says: "the GeForce GTX 860M has 640 CUDA cores, 40 texture mapping units (TMUs), and 16 ROPs. At first glance, that would put it well behind the current GTX 760M, which has 768 cores, 64 ROPs, and 16 TMUs. It's further dwarfed by the GTX 770M, which offers a 960:80:24 configuration. Appearances, however, can be deceiving. In 3DMark 11&#8242;s Performance Preset, the GTX 860M reportedly puts up a score of P5339, as compared to the GTX 770M's P5023. (P stands for Performance.)" Good luck with your decision!

When I got 8620, I checked the information decal inside both 8600 and 8920; both indicate the same 950 or 951 ink cartridges; I also compared cartridges from both and they are of the same exact configuration case. 8620 appears to be a slight upgrade of the original 8600.

They may not be producing the 800 model anymore; hence the price for the older model is higher. I ordered the 800 and reviewed the 800 - there was no 850 product on Amazon at that time. However, I actually received the 850. I recommend the 850 strongly.

I have actually found that the 905 does not work (very choppy) in my basement and the 860 no problem using and 8866 so if range is a concern then I would pay up for the more expensive 860.
