Difference between this tv and the LN-S4696D? Does anyone know the difference between this TV and the LN-S4696D?

There is more than just the difference of cable card input in the 96D. As for CableCard - it enables you to get rid of the cable box and instead rent (usually for about $3 - 5 a month) a small card (think PCMCIA like) into the TV and be able to decode the digital cable signals without the box. The downside is that the Cable Card 2.0 specification is rather recent and with 1.0 which most cable operators have today don't do OnDemand type programming. Both TVs will be able to pull down over the air HDTV signals with an antenna (your local stations). Now for the differences between 96D and 95D. The 96D features a USB port and a firewire (IEEE 1394) port. The USB port can be used for potential firmware upgrades (though I haven't searched to see if there even have been any yet. The other difference is that the 96D supports 1080p in "Game Mode" while the 95D, while fully 1080p, does not use 1080p in "Game Mode". From what I have been able to tell those are the big differences.

I ordered a 4071f from them, and it appeared to be a brand new tv. It was in very good shape. I decided it was too small for my living room, but it was in really good condition. That has been my experience.

Thank you. I bought the S4696D after all and it is pretty spectacular! Unfortunately Time Warner Cable is not quite there yet, they told me that if I got the cable card instead of a cable box, I would not be able to play movies on demand and I would not be able to access some HD channels like ESPN and Discovery in HD (basically the ones worth watching) so I opted for the set top box instead. But regardless, I am ecstatic about the TV! Thanks for your advice.

when i checked out the panasonic website this tv was listed in the LCD category. And in the LED category different tv's were listed whose price range was also double than this tv. if the company itself has listed it in LCD section then it might be LCD. no?

600 Bucks? WOW! At that price, it's time to put the 42LD450 in the ring with the Samsung LN 40C630. Personally, I'd have little hesitation landing on the Samsung for the extra 50 bucks. I hear the Samsung is $50 better than our LG, but not $100+ better.

Don't buy the Samsung. Their customer service has been really bad and have told me this (almost) top of the one tv is 100% perfect, even though there are black shadowy vertical stripes across the screen. They confirmed it is the tv (not a component or app) but that it is within their technical specs. Buy a Sony or LG.

Thanks for the advice Walker! I called 6th ave and told them about the price difference. The lady was very nice and put me on hold for a couple mins. Came back and said that they will price match for me! Again, thanks for the advice.Chedfred,I had actually done quite a bit of research on this TV and the customer service was one of the supposed high points. I will def have to check into this. However, you can't beat this TV for the price so I hope that the service is at least usable.Leonard

How big of a difference is the picture with the glitch when watching a BD? I am strongly leaning towards buying this TV. If this is only a minor flaw I am going to buy it, I just don't see paying $700 more dollars for the 860 just for this glitch. Is watching BD without cinema smooth that much of a difference? Thank you.

There are only a few notable differences, with the UN46F7500 you gain: - Quad-core processor for better multitasking - Builtin webcam (works w/ Skype) - Gesture-based interaction a la webcam - Micro Dimming Pro (vs Micro Dimming) backlighting technology - Clear Motion Rate 960 (vs Clear Motion Rate 720) which is Samsung's benchmark of refresh rate Interestingly, you lose the swivel ability in the stand with the UN46F7500. There are other differences, you can find out about them all here: UN46F7100 Specs: http://www.samsung.com/us/video/tvs/UN46F7100AFXZA-specs UN46F7500 Specs: http://www.samsung.com/us/video/tvs/UN46F7500AFXZA-specs

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!

Go to http://www.samsung.com/global/experience/ices2008/index.jspThe new 6 and 7 series TV info is all there. At $2799 for the LNT5271 you're better off waiting for these IMO.

If you want a good technical review of both, check out Rtings.com. They reviewed the LN5700 last year and will have their review up of the LB6300 tomorrow. The review of the LB5800 series is already up and there are noticeable differences between that series and the LN5700 in terms of motion blur, uniformity, and bright room performance. All are important elements in terms of picture quality, and grey uniformity is particularly important if you want to minimize the "dirty screen effect" inherent to many LCD panel TVs (of course this can vary within the same model unit as well). If the review is similar for the LB6300 series as it is for the LB5800 series, I also think the LB6300 series is the easy choice unless your biggest concern is how it performs in a bright or sunlit room. Hope this helps.

It has been a month since I contacted Sony regarding the kdl-46vl150 shut off problem. I have been told that the replacement part is in indefinite back order and have been offered a replacement TV, model number kdl-46ex700. I have researched the model and its an up grade to the 150. Its not a 2011 model but considering that the 150 is a total LEMON I'm going with the exchange for the 700. And as Denyse stated document and nag nag nag.

I purchased the Samsung LN52A860S2F a couple of days ago and I was told by the merchant that these tv has a better picture quality then its predacessor, but I can't find that fact anywhere. I wonder if I got tricked in to paying $200 bucks more for nothing.

The only reason I can see is that Samsung discontinued this t.v, and with the overall design is not as space efficient as any of Samsungs other dlp televisions. I have this one and also a 720p set by samsung which I bought in 10-2006. Just to let you know, Samsung also has on sale a 50" DLP 720p set for $899.I bought this one, and gave the 720p set to my parents, and to be honest with you I didnt notice a difference at all. If youre just breaking into the HD world, Id suggest getting one of the HLT models from samsung that is on sale now on amazon. You wont notice a difference, save yourself hundreds, and will less likely have problems with the set, as I and many others have with this particular model.

Samsung UN46C8000 46-Inch 1080p 3D 240 Hz LED HDTV There are several differences: the UN46C weighs 42.3 lbs while the UN46D weighs 27.3 lbs. The dimensions are different: the C is 1.1"deep and 42.9 X 28.5 while the D is 1.2"deep and 41 X 23.6. The D comes with 2 sets of rechargeable glasses and is wireless internet ready out of the box whereas the C requires an accessory called a LinkStick to be purchased. The D has a QWERTY keyboard remote with a display that shows whatever you type (hence you do not have to keep looking up at the screen (which is required with the C. Finally, the D is edgeless while the C has a framework that doesn't look as smart and hi tech and requires a cabinet to be wider and taller -- to house the TV. I own a 55" C 8000, and now need to replace the master bedroom 45" LCD. I am going to purchase the D because some reviewers say the picture is better. The quality of the C is absolutely superb, so if the D is better -- that is icing on the cake.
