This TV is back on Samsung's website. It was absent for awhile, however, the 7 Series has reappeared.

The 7 Series is back on Samsung's website (you have to search for it). I don't think it has anything to do with how it's being marketed in other countries.Apparently the new models are coming out and most retailers have dropped their prices. Some large retail stores aren't even displaying these models. Looks like they are trying to get rid of their inventory.Even the ultra expensive Samsung UN46B8500 and UN55B8500 have come down substantially in price.

I noticed that the Series 7 was off the Samsung website a few days back just as discussed here. I think the reason it was removed was because in some countries the Series 7 includes the LED TVs . In Dubai the LED is advertised as Series 7.

No wonder it's being discontinued, with competition like the new VIZIO SV472XVT, there is absolutely no reason to purchase the LN46B750 at its current price.

I noticed the same thing. I don't think they are making them anymore and everyone is out of stock . The new LHB975 won't be out until May sometime. And may be until mid summer when you can get one. So it appears those vendors with this list $599 product jacked up the prices. Yesterday there were a couple refirb units and one used on Amazon for around $500. Today there were none. I just happened to look tonight late and a used unit came up for $518 shipped. Amazon Warehouse who guarantees it to work. So I snapped it up as I am ready to convert over and if the 975 is that much better can use it in my bedroom and get one of those. Very strange indeed. The used unit won't be available until Mar 20 so I'll keep looking and maybe things will open up again. Guess lots of others will too. Good luck or it might be awhile before we see something with this capability.

where did you buy it for such a low price? whats hhgregg? my curiosity gets me when i see on the samsung website the MSRP for the 860 still at over 3k and the new c8000 at 2899. you would think the c8000 would be higher... unless they think the 860 is a better TV.

Interesting comments. If the wiki article is right, TCL isn't such a "no name" brand after all - I live in the midwest and I have heard of RCA. They were a lot bigger in the days when tube tv's were really big, they sorta got quiet in the LCD/plasma revolution. But anyway, if TCL == RCA, I might end up choosing this TV. Target & BB have a Samsung this size on Black Fri for 328$, and it looks like Toshibas and Samsungs this size in general are the deal at 320ish this year - an extra fifty bucks off for the TCL is almost enough for a bluray player to go with it on Black Fri (yep, really). =) Interesting comments.

There's a review on the LN--B750 line on CNET. Overall, it was rated as 'Excellent'. As far as the 240Hz motion is concerned, the review goes over the discernible, though slight, differences compared to 120Hz. I checked out forums about the LN46B750 and everyone had nothing but great things to say about it.I was actually able to cancel my LN46A860 with Crutchfueld even though it had already shipped (I still feel bad about this). Fortunately, customer service was exemplary and straightforward about the issue. I put in my order for the LN46B750 through Amazon with the $300-off promotion. I'll be receiving it by next mid-week. I'll let you know how it is. There's a review on the LN--B750 line on CNET. Overall, it was rated as 'Excellent'.

The price now is still set fairly high but keep in mind that amazon does like to set prices low for a day or two and then raise them on the fly. Once these sell out which they will the price will probably go up once this happens, it wont be the MSRP price but I beleive it will be a tad bit higher than what it is now. I just bought mine for $2849 I beleive it will be superior to the 55C7000 which had some back lighting issues (which everyone already knows about) so I would encourage those on the fence to go ahead and grab one, because this price is "reasonable" for this kinda Tv.

AP- I hope you are wrong but that is a good explaination. I notice that both Frys and Amazon are "sold out" while other stores such as CompUSA show they have them on the shelf. I'd rather wait for Amazon to buy this through. I'm a long time Amazon customer and they have yet to let me down on any item. That kind of customer service will keep me waiting for Samsung to work it all out. It's nothing I'm going to lose sleep over. But..interesting post nonetheless!

The price is going up because Samsung is replacing this model with the ln52 850/860 series. Amazon automatically increases prices on items that fall below certain quantities (it is called supply and demand).See:http://gizmodo.com/5028143/samsung-8-series-850-and-860-slim-lcds-19-inches-thick-with-ethernet-and-a-touch-of-color

I refuse to make the purchase until prices drop. The LN55A950 is out as well as the LN52B750. Plus, it appears that the only real difference b/w the A750 and the 850 is that the 850 is slimmer.I will wait until Memorial Day and see if the prices drop by then...

Peter...Look at the current price fo the Samsung LN40A550 at Amazon. Includes free shipping...too. Ordered mine this morning.....expected delivery end of next week. Go for it !!!!O

Amazon gets the 1215N directly from ASUS (IIRC, the 1215N isn't available at B&M; stores, only online). So it's probably very likely that ASUS is trying to sell off the silver stock or is discontinuing it.I took advantage of the price drop, and color really doesn't matter to me. $60 was enough to push me over the fence. :)

Have been watching this as well. Look at the ratings. I own one and its the best LCD on the market at the moment IMHO. The lowest price I have seen here at Amazon was $2940.00 USD a while back. Which is what I got it for. Since folks have been buying it, and the ratings continue to be 4.75+ stars, the price has been creeping up towards what the local BB and CC are charging for it ($3800+ in my area). I think once the 71 and 81 series hit the streets, this one will drop for sure. But until that time, this one is top dog, at least in my house. The picture maxed out in 1080P will just blow you away!! Have been watching this as well. Look at the ratings. I own one and its the best LCD on the market at the moment IMHO.

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.

Why have these jumped $100? Yeah, they are discontinued but the replacement model are close to $200 also. What's the deal?

I called their 800# today and they said it was discontinued. The salesman said the new models would be released in the next 4-5 months. I read the reviews on this model on this site and CNET which were uniformly positive and was going to buy one.

No logical reason. One can only guess that Samsung is hoping people gauge product quality and value by how high the price is. (ex. the more expensive the item, the better it is). However, you are right that the new 650 & 750 series are better than the LNT series in many ways. Advice: only buy the LNT4071 if it is at least $150 cheaper. Otherwise invest in the 650 or the 750.

Now this thing is up to $1606? is everyone seeing this same price? Why in the world is the price rising like this in $50 chunks? It's like they are trying to make us buy the LNA46750 ($1630 or so). Makes no sense to me...there are apparently many TV buyers at the ready if Amazon wasn't jerking the price all over the place. If they don't get things straightened out shortly, I'll buy it over at Newegg. They're pretty reputable from what I understand, and the Newegg price of $1529 (free shipping) is looking better by the minute - though product appears to be on backorder or something over there. Patience will be a virtue here I guess. Now this thing is up to $1606? is everyone seeing this same price? Why in the world is the price rising like this in $50 chunks?
