What's the price stability of this TV? I notice that prices for TVs can sometimes jump all around, so it can be necessary to strike at the right time. Has anybody witnessed changes in this price, on Amazon or other sellers? Has it been at the current price for a while? Is there any chance it will drop soon?

I bought this TV about a week ago and have been watching the price daily. When I saw the price drop I emailed Amazon about it. They promptly gave me a refund and told me I could contact them again within the 30 days if I saw the price drop even further.

Buy the TV then watch the price. I was given about a $200 refund 28 days after I bought my set from Amazon. They are easy to deal with and fast to refund the difference within 30 days.

I just did the same thing. I bought a TV from Amazon at the best price (this morning 01-18-09) and now Onecall has the best price (same day but evening time)The price only went down $30, but hey $30 is $30 and I thought I heard that amazon has price matching through 30 days.Help us!

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

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 :(

Same thing happened to me two weeks ago with a different TV. Amazon would not give me the price I originally ordered it at. Bought it and it dropped back to the original price this week. Amazon price changing has gotten out of hand. Instead of feeling good about the purchase, I feel as though I was duped. It also took six days from the date of order to remove the hold from my amazon credit card. I ended up using my debit card.

Guy's,I need a little advice. I know nothing about LCD TV's. I'm moving into a house and ran into a guy that wants to sell a Samsung 40" 4061. The TV has been siting in his bedroom and is hardly used as he watches a bigger set in the living room. The set looks and works great and he's asking $500 for it. I think the set is several years old. Does anyone out there have any advice on buying this?Anything to look for? Is this a good price on a set with prices coming down this Christmas?Thanks for any input,Rudy

I think all of the items increased price in the Amazon. I compared the price in a week ago on the samsung TV. They increased while the other dealer not increase the price.

Yeah you are right from last 4 weeks prices at amazon are hovering between 1799 to 1899. Last weekend for couple of days BB decreased the price to 1799 when it was 1899 at amazon. But before i could get hold of the price they increased it back to 1999 (saturday midnight). Let see if it comes back down again by this weekend. I don't see amazon going below1 1799. The similar model LN46A860(Toc Blue) is being offered for 1599. Don't know why, but id prices don't settle may be i will go for this model. tech Specs are same.

Agreed I was planning on purchasing this set next Friday April 1st, and what the heck happened?!?! All of the sudden the product is under review, and poof amazon liquidates their stock of the TV's. Kinda of bizarre if you ask me, and I'm not sure what people are complaining about but the should shush, at under $1K this TV is an absolute steal.Not a happy customer right now.

It seems like the discount is on and off every other week for this TV at least. And the recent trend has been that it is getting less and less. However they also cut the price of the TV a ltitle bit a few weeks back. Though I am in the same position basically as the OP. I am waiting for it to fall around 1050-1100 all in then I am ready to snap it up.

I agree that this TV is excessively priced, especially since this is an old model as pointed out by Shaq. I don't understand Amazon's strategy. If they are sitting on a bunch of old TVs in their inventory, why don't they price them with a true sales price ?? Like in the week before the Super Bowl for example ?? Just a suggestion... I know I would consider buying it then !!

I was going to probably place my order tonight for this TV and now I see they jacked up the price 400 bucks. So much for that. Why does Amazon mess with the price so much? Rather annoying.

I also called Samsung & they referred me to a local company. They want $90 just to come out but since we can't afford to fix it right now, we have been waiting. I have read a lot of people having this issue but samsung denied it. It's a shame that a fairly new tv is having such problems. I guess that they don't make them like they use to! Let me know if you get a tech out there & the outcome. I know mine will have to wait, no job, no money.

I just bought this TV yesterday and noticed it went up a couple $$ today. Don't worry about the timing though because Amazon has price guarantee for 30 days. They'll refund you the difference (is what I've read) if the price goes down within the 30 day time frame.

I had received a email from Amazon Tuesday 8/23/11 advertising this TV for $598.00 at a whooping $11.00 savings, so I put it in my cart to purchase later this week. I was shocked to see today that the price jumped up this high (738.95) in one day! I did check with Sam's Club and they have them with free shipping for the $598.00 price. What is up with Amazon?

Oh, nevermind everyone. I looked around and found this on the website: "Currently Unavailable: This item is currently not available for ordering, and we don't know when or if this item will be in stock again." Well, then. Crap shoot it is. I'll wait it out and cross my fingers or look for another TV.
