The difference between the Samsung *550, *650, *750 ? Please excuse my ignorance, but could someone please explain the difference in these Samsung TVs. I know the higher numbers are newer, but I don't know what the other differences are. I currently have a CRT tv and was going to keep it until it dies, but I am moving to a new house that has a beautiful built in wall cabinet for the TV, and the old one won't work. I've been trying to do my homework, but I'm starting from ignorance. I am looking for a 46' to 50' LCD tv, and it seems like Samsung has more recommendations than any other. Thankful for any help I can get. Liz The difference between the Samsung *550, *650, *750 ? Please excuse my ignorance, but could someone please explain the difference in these Samsung TVs.

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!

Hi EarlyMon, my husband and I have been looking at tvs at B&M; stores to see what we like. We have decided on a 52 inch Samsung, but we wondering about the B550. Can I connect my laptop to the tv and watch Netflix instant movies? Thanks for letting me pick your brain on this stuff. Liz

That's correct! That's why I returned my TV, and purchased the 650 model. I hope this helps.

Do not hesitate to buy from Amazon, and do not hesitate buying the 750 if it is in your reach. Amazon is great and 750 Samsung is the absolute berries. I don't think there could be a better marriage of electronics and seller.D.King

120Hz is a different picture, some like it, some don't. You can always turn it off though. Contrast, however, EVERYONE likes better contrast. Go with the 55" Samsung. I own a 5271F Samsung and I love it. I am waiting for Samsung to pump out a 60 incher before I upgrade.

The 550 is 30000:1, The 650 is 50000:1 There is a big difference in PQ of these two sets.The 650 being better.

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 looked at both and bought the 750....for the price (and difference) you are really looking at how important a super thin TV is to you, if saving $2 a month on your energy bill makes that big of a difference, or if you are that nuts about LED, for $800 I wasn't. 200,000 to 1 as a Dynamic contrast ratio is more than enough (you can't really tell much more of a difference). If you really wanna get the LED and are willing to spend that kind of money get the 8000 (even thinner and edge lit led). Because of the models above and below it, and price differences I don't see the 7000 making much sense unless you find a unique deal that only has that set on sale.

I ordered the F9000 65in twice and both were damaged in route by two different carriers, so I never even received them but was refunded instead. I also did not received a UN8500 55in tv for the same reason. I might just have to buy a future tv in a store, I guess. Now, I think that I will just wait for a 75in Samsung Ultra-Dev coming out in April 2014 but will wait until the price comes down. Sorry I cannot answer your particular question.

You could look for the LN32b640. It has the Touch of Color Grey. You miss out on some features and gain others. The Samsung website has a nice compare feature to see the differences.http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/type/productcompare.do?&group;=televisions&type;=televisions&pageType;=S&acc;_ia_fl=N&prda;=LN32B640R3FXZA&prdb;=LN32B650T1FXZAI haven't been able to locate a retailer. Maybe a call to Samsung would clarify. It may be a new model that is not in the US pipeline yet.I personally have the TOC red and I hardly notice it at all. Nothing else in the room is red and it still doesn't stand out. You could buy the b650 and stop by home depot for a can of black Krylon too. You could look for the LN32b640.

I'm also trying to decide between the two. Only difference seems to be that the 52b750 is 240hz instead of 120hz for the 55b650. I think that has something to do with response time. Hoping that we can get responses indicating whether or not the average person can notice the difference when watching tv. I would rather spend an extra $100 for a larger tv but wonder if I would be missing out on a better picture with the 240hz.

J. Greer, which Best Buy did you get your TV from? The ones that I have visited in MI are not even carrying any 950s, I am not sure why. Also, did any of you compare the picture quality of the 950 with the 850? Is there a big improvement? Not sure which one I want to get, I realize one is LED and one is not but the A850 has a great deal on it while the 950 is on the expensive side for me. If there is a big difference I am willing to spend extra on the 950. Thanks!

I was soo close to getting the 4081, but then the 750 series came around, and had the usb & lan inputs, plus the 750 has a better viewing angle 178* as opposed to 4081's 170* hdmi ports didn't make any difference to me. I saw the lan input as a possible upgrading futureproofing option (downloading new firmware and such).

I think the only difference between the 2 are the preprogrammed games, recipes, etc. on the 750. And the touch of color which borders all sides on the 750 but only the top and bottom of the 650.

I am looking at these two tvs as well, and the 650 apparently has a swivel stand, while the 750 does not. I need the swivel, so not I'm hesitating. Might just go for the b750 with the 240hz refresh rate instead.

Hey Elliot,Did you have the specialists at the stores calibrate the visual settings (brightness, contrast, etc.) to be the same on both the 650 and the 850? Alot of the time, the stores make the more expensive models look better in order to get you to buy the more expensive one. My advice, go bad to the stores and tell them to make the settings the same and then compare. I'd be very curious to know the result. Good luck.
