There is nothing in the manual about the 115 vs 240 volt... The system is designed for the USA market so you should assume 115 volt Only... If you are going to use the unit outside the USA, you will more than likely need a 240 to 115 volt converter... Otherwise I would ask Samsung directly what model does only work on the 240 volt systems.

Wound up w/ the UN40C6300 and so far I think it's great. I don't see the problems that others have found. I'm watching fast paced action and it looks perfect, and I'm incredibly picky. I have it set up w/ a Pioneer amp VSX1020 and it looks and sounds great - no BS. I've only watched a few flicks, but see no issues.I set it up according to these calibration specs... http://www.tweaktv.com/tweak-my-tv/calibration-guide/samsung-un40c6500.htmlScroll down to User Menu SettingsEven though it's not the exact same model the settings work, and they are much different than the default settings it comes w/.Maybe this will help some of you - I hope.

Hank, how long have you had the set? I just ordered the same one, so I'm curious as to it's history. A friend has a Samsung and swears by it.

The Samsung TV, which I apparently know nothing about, has been stellar, performing the same today as it did the day I bought it and set it up... Absolutely No Complaints !!! Very Satisfied, but then again I DON'T know anything, I just own a UN40C6300, and I am happy with it. Oh Yes, I forgot, I am not qualfied to be happy with my purchase. end..

Thx. I didn't realise the edge lit sets were such a problem. Not sure what to do now.

The difference is quite noticeable between an LED and LCD... Remember the 120 HZ it the multiplier here. Meaning if you are watching anything that has high motion, like sports other than Golf, then the LED will show a clearer picture. Sooo, from my perspective I will NEVER buy a straight UP LCD Tv. I will buy one with LED or LED/LCD at 120 Hz or better, for I intend to keep it for more than 5 years. By the way, make sure you get a warranty and understand the benefit it will be bring to the table if at year three your new TV goes out... As an example BestBuy will replace the unit completely no questions asked. The difference is quite noticeable between an LED and LCD... Remember the 120 HZ it the multiplier here.

I'd buy the Samsung BD-P4600 Blu-Ray player, read up on web-site's about what to buy, Samsung,I have one and love it!, especially that since I also have a Samung 5084 50 inch Plasma TV also, HA!, so far everything I loaded into it has played without a problem, I have a Harmony 550 remote and down loaded codes from thier site and I'm having no problems so far. Haven't used the netflex yet but I can't see a problem there, but I think you got to have to right router (wireless or hard-wired) to use anything your going to use, maybe your just thinking to hard about this crap, buy it and read about what you have bougth and learn how to use it. I have a ONKYO TX-SR605S receiver with HDMI that I run this thru, and I never would even think about buying a F'*ING SONY, I'm sorry I forgot they own half of the ""USA"" !, "OH CRAP", sorry again, Rolacoy, I'm a happy person with Samsung so far, just "read" what the hell is in the box, and I see you know how to use the internet,surf the web and you'll find just about anything you might want to know about this S!!T, hoped this had a clue to what you need, like the old saying, It's better some time's to be going without being asked.

I have the fifty five inch. We got it for a great price at walmart. We were hesistant at first. But its a great tv. I recommend hisense. A lot of people have never heard of the brand which makes it seem like you shouldn't buy it. We have had it for about five months. We use it often and the color is great. Picture volume appearance is great.

This is the First time EVER I have replied to someone posting on these forums. Usually, I enjoy reading and gaining insight on the topic at hand. But, since I have first hand experience I will share what I think you should do. I believe you should order it online from Amazon.com and not from one of the retailers that you can purchase from through amazon, for instance, Datavision, J&R, or Beach Camera. The price difference from bestbuy and amazon.com (Directly Amazon) is too much to ignore. I just ordered the Samsung Lnt4065f for my room for 1499.98 and it arrived on time and with great service. Eagle called me the day before and scheduled a delivery window of two to three hours and brought the tv into my house. They set it up on my tv stand and stayed until the the Lcd Tv was on and in working order. On top of that I was lucky enough to see the price drop on my model twice in a week to 1459.99 then 1409.98. I was fortunate enough to read some of these forums and realize that we could get credited back the difference within thirty days. I called Amazon and they took care of the matter immediately. The first time crediting back $40 then the second time $50. (As a sidenote, since then the Tv I bought has gone back up to 1459.98 with shipping) The price is just insanely GREAT! This same tv that I bought for $1409.98 with white glove delivery (aka bringing the tv into your house and making sure it works so you can decide whether or not you are going to accept or refuse the tv) costs $150- $200 on other websites. If I calculated shipping as $150 then I would have basically paid $1259.98. The set I bought, Samsung Lnt4065f costs 1999.99 without tax at best buy, with tax equating to well over $2100! I would again buy from directly from amazon.com (the company and not another third party vendor using amazon as a storefront) for my future big ticket purchases. I hope this helped.

Ok I am in the same boat about which plasma to get. I have gone to BestBuy numerous times and I like the Samsung PN42A450. I heard any tv in the 40s does not need 1080, as it would be a waste of money. I then saw the PN50A450 on Amazon for a great price, but it is 720. Just curious about if I get the 50, would standard tv look bad, and how about using a PS3 via DMI. Would it look bad because it is only 720 vs 1080? I know the 42inch would look nice, just concerned about the 50inch, and if I should get 42. It is for my bedroom so it will be somewhat close to me. Any comments regarding this would be helpful, thanks! Ok I am in the same boat about which plasma to get. I have gone to BestBuy numerous times and I like the Samsung PN42A450.

600 Bucks? WOW! At that price, it's time to put the 42LD450 in the ring with the Samsung LN 40C630. Personally, I'd have little hesitation landing on the Samsung for the extra 50 bucks. I hear the Samsung is $50 better than our LG, but not $100+ better.

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

Thanks for the review Robert! Good tip about the 3 series of Samsung TV's against the older 2 versions. I was all set to buy an older model ending in 2, the 4272 to be exact, but now I think I'll wait.......

Go for size and 120hz. I have a friend who has 60hz and her TV is 6 inches bigger then mine, but she likes mine WAY MORE (i have a ln46a650, she has a sharp). Go for 120hz and size, you will not be disapointed ;)

I purchased a refurbished one in December for about $1,200 including the shipping. When the tv arrived the power cord was not in the box. Samsung did send another one in about two weeks. Then when I got it hooked up the tv made a popping sound. The good thing is it was under warranty and it was fixed by replacing the main board. There were no cosmetic blemishes on the unit when we received it. If you don't mind having couple of possible problems, it will save some money. Other than that it is a great tv. Hope this helps with your decision.

I agree, don't let brighter mean better. If you read some of the "expert" reviews they tend to state that standard settings are more true to life. C-Net and other sights rate the Samsung picture as good as any. The sound on both TV's is adequate for everyday viewing. If you are looking for a "cinema experience" no TV sound system on its own will be great. I compared both and went with the Samsung but that is my personal taste.

I'd go for the Samsung if only because it is using LED which will save you $$$ not only on your electriv bill, but they don't burn out like lamps will. I just purchased this TV (still waiting on delivery) based on the fact that I just replaced the lamp ($265) in my Hitachi 61" DLP and now the light engine is failing.. at $1000 to replace the lamp NOT INCLUDING any service fee.. I can replace the whole unit for $500 more and not have to worry about this occuring again.

Perhaps you have already made your decision? What did you choose? This something I am also mulling over. Both seem to be very good tvs and both seem to have issues (buzzing, fading black levels, etc). When a decisding between 2 good choices is difficult, perhaps both either option is a good one? Price is important and the samsung is much less expensive. Save the money for the next hi tech device you need to replace?

My husband did all of the research on this TV. He spoke with the guys at Best Buy, and they referred him directly to Samsung. Samsung explained that with the technology they have in this TV the refresh rate is so crisp and quick that the difference is unnoticeable. We viewed this TV at Best Buy compared to all of the other TV's on the wall and the picture is amazing. The best we had ever seen. We tried to buy it a Best Buy but they stopped selling them because a newer model was on it's way in. That is why we purchased the TV from Amazon. My husband is also a big gamer and the TV has setting for that vs. watching TV and movies. It's the best TV we have seen and we did a lot of shopping before be bought it.

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.

I just bought a Samsung LN46A630. In addition to the replies posted re this discussion, I called Samsung directly and they recommended a v1.3 cable. I ordered the Premium HDMI v1.3 cable from Amazon ($9.99). Hope to install this weekend.

There's a promotion going for the LN46B750. Amazon is currently selling it for $1,999.99. Input coupon code, "SAMTV300" and it drops to $1,699.99. I'm pissed because yesterday I picked up an LN46A860 from Crutchfield for $1,579.99 with 1% FW cashback. It already shipped, bleh. Specs wise, seems like everything is the same except that the LN46B750 introduces 240Hz motion and Internet@TV (Yahoo!, YouTube, Flickr, etc.). Also, the LN46B750 has a charcoal ToC while the LN46A860 has a dark blue one. Moreover, I haven't come across a review that details the performance of the 240Hz motion.
