The price has gone back up significantly. Just before xmas it was about $1899, and as soon as the shipping deadline passed for xmas it dropped to $1595 and stayed that way most of January. Now I see it selling for $1,999.99When the price was $1595 the TV was being sold by Amazon, now it appears that the TV is being sold by Cruthfield which is why there is a drastic increase in price. If you really want this TV, I would wait until Amazon starts selling it again.

I don't know if it will, its now being distributed by crutchfield, i wonder if amazon will ever get anymore.

I bought if here for $1493 at the very beginning of January. Sold and shipped by Amazon. Arrived perfectly. Terrific TV. I would guess that the price will drop significantly after the Super Bowl, or when Amazon gets a new shipment of them.

I was wondering the same thing. The LN40B550, at $935, has a reasonable discount. I noticed that it took longer for Amazon to start shipping the B530, and BestBuy and Sears appear to often run out of that model, so maybe there is a shortage right now. (Perhaps Samsung is busy pumping out B550s instead?)

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.

Well, I'm still interested in buying but for no more than $435. I can live with what I got so far. For the same current price I will be able to buy a new model, whenever it comes out. Just not worth paying full retail for a not the latest model.

I saw this rebate that you are talking about, but it was a $200 "rebate" towards football fan gear or something like that. I bought this TV about a month ago and had been checking the price everyday, that is how I know this. I also saw a Samsung commercial that talked about it last night.

Not the first time that happened. The price dropped to just around $2250 during Thanksgiving weekend, then scurried back up to $2400. It then dropped again during Christmas week, falling to its low just a day or so after Christmas, and is now back up. Amazon obviously has variable pricing for this model depending some calculation of available supply and overall demand. The electronic age has made that VERY easy to code for, so your goal as the buyer is to figure out when supply is high and demand is low because that's when the price drops.

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.

You may have just swayed my decision. I want to love this TV and I won't be buying for a week or so still. I can only hope for the $1479 price tag soon.I've heard sometimes the buzzing doesn't start for a week or so. I hope we each don't have to hear it though.

Well, you know BB is going to run the 10-12% off on Labor Day weekend. Added with the likely price drops by everyone to compete for football season, this price will probably go down by the end of August. I wish I could have bought this for $2,199 but I'm not going to buy a new tv when I don't move for another month. Grrrh!

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.

Hey Guys, I feel the same way. I've been watching the price (LN52A650) since April when it debuted and have noticed the price flucuations starting just a few months ago. I don't get it. You mention the popularity of the new Samsung line. I think it has really gained momentum the last month or two. A lot of the retailers, (e.g. Sears, BB, Circuit City, etc.) have been pushing the whole Samsung line in their advertisments. I'm just hoping the price resumes its price decline come early fall before the start of the X-mas shopping season. Just acquired my upgraded NAD A/V receiver and TV console for the Samsung, just need the TV now. Hey Guys, I feel the same way.

I think not as new models are out. It did hit your price point a couple of weeks ago at $1499.99.

You'll probably get a better deal after the Superbowl...if football is not your thing I would wait. I just ordered this T.V. last week for 1,139 because I want it for the Superbowl and am willing to spend a little extra to have it for the game. Skol Vikings!!

All Big screen TV's will be on sale after Christmas, but the biggest price drop every year happens after the Super Bowl is over! That's when the demand drops dramatically for these TV's every year.

Contact Amazon for official policies on pre-sell prices. Vizio's website states that this TV is slated to go on sell this month. I contacted them a couple of days ago and they told me that they shipped a bunch to Amazon and other Vizio retailers as well. It is now up to Amazon to launch these things. I am cautiously optimistic that this thing will be in my living room within two weeks. (As long as I have it before football season anyways.)

I'm still holding out hope that the price of this TV will drop again before Christmas. I'm not paying $1800+ for this TV. Supposedly, Fry's was selling it for $1499+tax ($1623 total in Texas) a couple weeks ago.

I came close to doing the same Thing!! Opened up the $200 Rebate Form and guess what?? Good on NFL Sports Collection!!! E-Mailed Amazon 4 times and the answer on the fourth try was-- Amazon $200 Cash Rebate. Almost pulled the trigger. But I wanted to wait one more day since offer was good tru October. This morning saw what I had suspected,. changed to NFL Collectible. Sorry Amazon , I"ll keep looking too get the price I want to pay. Richard
