Difference between this tv and the LN-S4696D? Does anyone know the difference between this TV and the LN-S4696D? They appear to have the same specs but I think I must be missing something.

could you explain the lack of cable card and or the uses of a built in tuner?Also, does the "95" vs. "96" indicate an update in the LN-S4695D and LN-S4696D, respectively?If you are using a TiVo or SD cable feed do you need the built in tuner? What about using over the air HD signals?

you said "The other difference is that the 96D supports 1080p in "Game Mode" while the 95D, does not use 1080p in "Game Mode".You are wrong, I got mine in yesterday and game mode is working with my xbox 360.

Yeah, I noticed that too. I am still debating between this model and another. Let me know what you think about the TV. Thanks.

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.

Kurt,Thanks for your help.We liked the reviews on the KDL-52V5100 better than the kdl-46V5100 and bought it as a bundle with the PS3 hope we didn't make a mistake, I don't know why the 52 inch tv in this model had better reviews than the 46 inch. I hope this isn't a stupid question but what is a 8-bit panel and a 10-bit panel and should we have gone with the 10-bit panel tv?Thanks Dede

No, they have some differances. To get a complete list, visit Lg.com and look at the specks on both. Both are great TV's.

i am in the same boat as you. this tv looks awesome but now it is not available. did they make a new model? if so, where can you get it?

The one I bought had a sound problem that the tech couldn't solve. I was shipped a refurbished one that developed the SAME EXACT sound problem. Phillips replaced it with a brand new one, but told me this model was discontinued, so they replaced it with a 46". I've owned several Philips TVs and they have been reliable in the past. My experience with this one was not so good, and my understanding is they are no longer made. If this is a used one you're looking at, be advised that my audio issue was a "come and go" type, and I would not really recommend this particular model.

How big of a difference is the picture with the glitch when watching a BD? I am strongly leaning towards buying this TV. If this is only a minor flaw I am going to buy it, I just don't see paying $700 more dollars for the 860 just for this glitch. Is watching BD without cinema smooth that much of a difference? Thank you.

Thanks for the follow-up, and thanks for being the guinea pig:) I ordered one this morning after I read your post. I had a feeling they were compatable, but I hadn't even received my TC-L42E50 when I made my inquiry, and I didn't want to order one before I received it.Hope you enjoy your TV. I haven't been able to watch mine much yet, but from what I've seen, it's pretty sweet.

Interesting comments. If the wiki article is right, TCL isn't such a "no name" brand after all - I live in the midwest and I have heard of RCA. They were a lot bigger in the days when tube tv's were really big, they sorta got quiet in the LCD/plasma revolution. But anyway, if TCL == RCA, I might end up choosing this TV. Target & BB have a Samsung this size on Black Fri for 328$, and it looks like Toshibas and Samsungs this size in general are the deal at 320ish this year - an extra fifty bucks off for the TCL is almost enough for a bluray player to go with it on Black Fri (yep, really). =) Interesting comments.

Hey I know you guys posted a couple of weeks ago, but if it helps, I have owned both the 4065 and the new LN46A650. I can tell you that the picture quality on the new series is literally leaps and bounds above the older models. I personally think that the 650 series is one of the, if not the best available lcd tv on the market today. If you do not want to spend the extra money on the new series, the 4065 is much better than the 4061, has a better processor, higher contrast ratio, brighter screen for better color saturation, etc.

Hey Ken,Thanks for the advice and the tidbits on why the DLP was better than the plasma. I did stop second guessing myself and went ahead and kept the DLP and let me say that it's a fantastic television. Nah, I don't care about mounting it on the wall nor do I watch it from weird angles. Everything you said about this tv is true and I simply love it, man you should see what a Blu-ray or HD-DVD looks like on this tv, simply amazing! I am very happy I kept this tv, I actually posted a review and posted a picture of my tv, stand, and components in on the tv's page. But thanks for all your help, love the tv and wouldn't go with a plasma or LCD for the size and price of this DLP any day of the week!

Hello. I am almost close to selecting KDL52V4100. All you owners of the TV, would u know if the screen has matte finish? I wanted to see this TV in BB but could not find it. so I havent seen it. I have seen SHARP and LG HDTVs and they have excellent matte finish. Can you please tell me how is screen finish for this SONY TV ?

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.

yeah dont get this tv my friends has it. the problem with it is fuzzy picture. i did a comparison with my own 1080p Lns-4095d samsung tv. Even though my tv is relatively older it didnt have fuzzy pic. Also note that both were using hdmi cable. however the LN-T5265F did not want to swtich to a 1080p resolution. everytime we did it got static. also note that all tests were done using a ps3. I recommned a Samsung however not this one.

I am in the market, and I would love to buy the 65 inch Samsung, and yet, I still haven't heard a complete, positive and full compliment without any negatives, it is a lot of money to spend without having a sure guarantee, everytime I read a good comment, there's always a negative one next to it, I'll be damned if I know which TV to buy. Do the 65 inch Sony TVs have the same problems too? Is there a TV out there that is better than the Samsung?
