Is the PN58B550 any better or worse than the PN58A550? The newer model is thinner and more energy efficent, but is there a price to pay in reduced performance? In the back of my mind I am afraid that the new model will be dimmer (and hence use less energy). I am on the fence as to which one to buy. The A model seems like a proven winner and the price is right, but the B model is not much more and the improved energy efficency is a nice feature. Help me choose.

From what I understand the B will be an improvement, especially with 24fps Blu-Ray.

One person reported some burn in with the A model, wondering if the B model would be better.

One big difference between the UN55's and LN52's is the UN55's have a super-slim porfile at such 1.2 inches thick. You can hang it on your wall just like a slim picture frame, and with the superb image resolution it functions just like a picture frame. That was one of the main reasons we ended up getting the UN55. You maybe able to get a better price on these during Thanksgiving weekend (black friday). To get further 8% cash-back and save on sales tax you can do the following (courtesy bing and ebay): 1. Use bing.com to search for "ps2" and then follow it's cashback link for ebay. 2. Once you land on ebay with the cashback logo, use that window to search for UN55B6000 (or any other TV). 3. Follow instructions carefully to pay with paypal (also make sure you are pre-registered for live.com and login to your live.com account) to get 8% cashback from bing.com ... which is $160+! Makes sure the cashback logo shows up all through paypal checkout. You will save on sales tax too. Hope that helps!

Hi Dave,Sorry, my writing style isn't always clear - I wrote a review of the LN52B750 only. My encouragement was meant to say, read all the user reviews on the various models that one is interested in, because that is what helped me.BTW - that's some company you've got there Dave, sounds like I've benefited more than I know as a viewer - many thanks for your good work!

If i had to guess i'd say it probably just takes a little less power. The circuits are a little smoother. And when i say little i mean very minute details. My 1312 performs flawlessly.. I'm pretty sure it's just a newer model so as expected they just changed a few things around and now they have a whole "new" piece of equipment.

Where have you seen the LN52A750 or 650 for between 1515 and 1670? I have been monitoring the 750 on amazon for about a week now and the 750 has gone from a low of around 1840 to almost 2000 now.

Sally, its been a month or so since i did my research on this. From what I can remember, when I went on to the PowerSmart website, the more expensive model seemed to be the newer one.

My read of the customer reviews supports the notion that the 255W is a terrific unit. Thanks for your reply.

Well... the word better is subjective as your personal taste in what you feel or experience when you use this types of devices is different for each individual. I cant compare them to the SE535 as I have never used them before. I can just say that the SE846 are out of this world and I have been blown away. Maybe try to locate a store that have both in stock and give them a try. Good luck in your decision.

I think the main difference is LED lighting on the UN55 and its 3" bigger. I would opt to get the LED (less electricity, and the LED is supposed to last longer and eventually all TV's will use LED lights).

Yes the model number is for the updated version. As long you stay with the 55 Amp. you are OK. Some other buyers mentioned that they have a problem with the size of the holes of the retainer screws to the deck, I did not encounter that problem and as of today is working perfect. Just take out the old one a plug the new one, be sure to plug the cables to the right polarity. Red on Red, Black on Black. I hope this answer your question. Regards, Manny

Sorry. No idea. I have bought three of these and for all I know the model may have changed. When connected properly these devices can 't be beat and certainly are energy efficient. Sorry I couldn't 't help more.

New models with slightly less power. There both in the website catalogue - for now. You can compare specs. The new model has the advantage of having fresher batteries.

I have not had my hands on A550, but Samsung's web site says it has PiP. B550, which I own, don't. Also there are no S-Video inputs on B550.As the previous poster says, B550 is lighter, brighter (I looked at them side by side in BestBuy) and prettier.

I have both the 3540 (work) and the 3530 (home). The only difference that I really noted was that the 3540 has a larger interface display panel and all functions are accessed through the touchscreen interface panel. The 3530 has a smaller display panel and touch panel buttons that are used to access the printer's features (there is a number pad and arrows on the 3530 that you use to choose options, whereas on the 3540 you touch items on the display itself). Otherwise they appear to work the same and quite well. I am very pleased with them and would recommend either. As for the cost difference, I don't know. When I purchased them, the 3540 cost more than the 3530.
