HLT5687S vs HLT5687SAX ??? What is the difference in these two models?
1050888
The SAX is a newer version that fixes an issue with an internal screen reflection, and possibly an issue with a noisy led power board. I recently purchased a model advertised as an HLT5687S and received the SAX version. The box of the SAX was stamped "Made in Mexico". So far it seems like I got a good tv with no issues. They are closing out this TV, and you can get very good in store deals. I got mine for under twelve hundred. Samsung is no longer making LED based sets under 61 inches, so get one now if you want a smaller screen.

Well I heard two things about that. First the HLT5687S had a halo issue on some of the model and it looks like that is fixed in the HTL5687SAX. Second I heard that the HLT5687SAX is manufactured in America. Don't know if thats true or not.

I have a 5687SAX and it still has the halo problem. The halo problem is also known as the hot spot problem (as CNET likes to call it) or the blue smudge effect (I think that is what Samsung techs refer to it as).

I just called Samsung's customer service line and spoke to a rep. He said there is no difference between S and SAX except for when it was made. I'm in the market for one as well and think I'm going to go with the S model (from SecondAct.com, only $999.99!)

Consumer Reports reported in their study that the first generation of LED's had Halo problems. Maybe the S modle is the first gen. and the AX is the second gen.

I have found two other differences - 6350 comes with quad stand and WiFi ready; 5500 - square stand and WiFi capable. Coming to difference in refresh rate, as long as you buy the TV less than 39" 60Hz is absolutely fine, 120 is just a hype for 32" version. 5500 is VFM. 6350 is bit of luxury. Hope that answers your question.

I apologize. I misread the first post, I thought you were comparing the 5076 to the 5087.

The SX280hs has had firmware/battery issues. An update has been issued with reported varied results. I gave up and went with the SX260hs. WiFi and the next generation processor are the differences the SX280HS offer, but other issues make it a paperweight. The SX260hs takes great pictures right out of the box.

I called Toshiba about this and was told it's just a market difference. The TVs are the same, the models just vary in each market. I guess online retailers just mix up the models.

The ln46a540 has a more reflective screen. It makes the colors and contrast look great (especially from side viewing angles). However the screen shows reflections from light sources more. I decided to get the 550 because our media room has lots of windows.

Not sure. They are both HSS. I ordered the 148020 since they were listed for my Ridgid.

Actually, Lewis, it's exactly the same product.I've just received the 3485/01 and it has Dusk Simulation.To clarify:HF3485/01 = European version (230 V)HF3485/60 = American version (110 V)This is the only difference. Really.

I've had both TV's. The B550 replaced my A550 which was broken. The PIP was on A550 but the screen was so small it wasn't worth it. The sound on the B550 is supposed to be better but I'm unconvinced. I think it's worse. But I do admit that the accident that broke my A550 could have caused a problem on the HDMI port on my cable box. I'm not ready to blame Samsung yet. But I have also read reviews where sound was mentioned as an issue.But the picture on the B550 is a lot better.

The HLT5087SAX has the LED light engine which removes the rainbow effect and also has a 20,000 hour life span. While the older model uses the normal DLP light bulb which has to be replaced every couple of years or so.

I saw the LN32A650 and LN32A550 side by side. The white of the 650 was whiter and the black, blacker than the 550. I bought the 650 and am very happy with quality of the picture.

Please note that above I'm talking about the BDP - "N" 460 not the "S" 460. I can only assume that as far as SONY model number configurations go the "N" has some relation to network versus the "S" for system. Pure speculation on my part BTW.Also, in response to Michael's post above - current search of SONY's product capabilities and reviews as well as current support and firmware for the S560 indicates that it STILL DOES NOT does not have Nexflix (or other online streaming) capabilities - NOTHING has been added from a firmware perspective as of today anyway. This is THE negative written about the SONY S560 player. Please note that above I'm talking about the BDP - "N" 460 not the "S" 460.

The only information that I could find is that the AL2223Wd is silver (instead of black) and has a contrast ratio of 800:1 instead of 700:1. Both have the same resolution, screen size, and response time. Acer's web site does not even have information, that I could find, on the AL2223Wd.Seeing as the amazon reviews for both products are stellar, I am thinking that both of these are good products. Anyone have additional information?- Mike

There is no performance advantage either way. But you should pick one and stick with it. I use 568B because, for some reason, it's easier for me to remember. Go figure...

After comparing this model vs the newer model(both are 2006 models) these seem to be the only differences: Main diff between 6187 & 6188 models is the 6188 also has: - picture in picture, firewire, surround sound processor for the internel speakers, RS232C control and I "think" the 6187 does not have cablecard(?). You can download the specs from Samsung's site and compare.

Edit: Sorry for misleading, they are both ficker free. The major difference is GL2760H is TN panel; GW2760HS is VA panel. And GW2760HS has 1W*2 built-in speakers; GL2760H not.Another difference is GW2760HS uses a DC (Direct Current) method for background light brightness control but GL2760H use old PWM background light brightness control. In another word, GW2760HS is flicker free but GL2760H not; that's why GW2760HS more expensive.

Sorry, I have no clue. I purchased 5-year in-home warranty and tossed the big box it came in. What I can tell you is if you buy UN55FH6003 from Amazon you won't be sorry. GREAT HDTV. If you need more than 2 HDMI, you will need to buy a 4X1 HDMI switch from Monoprice to handle the extra devices.
