I have never own a plasma TV before always had lcd. The TV is worth more then $500. Right now Amazon is selling it for $798.97 If you can find it for $500 I think you will be very happy when you see the picture that you will get from a plasma vs lcd. You should also read the reviews on Plasma Vs LED.

The lowest sale price I've seen on this model (50") was around $529 during Black Friday. I got lucky and bought mine from a friend who won it in a drawing. I could not be happier with it. The picture quality is stunning, and I have no need for a smart TV.

I have this TV and have been very pleased with it. However the question of worth is hard to address as the prices on items like these can change very quickly. We bought ours for movie viewing and the picture is great. Like most of these TVs the sound is...ok. I would recommend additional speakers etc. Also there is a large amount of picture adjustment available so you should play with the picture until you get it where you want it.Would I buy this TV again......you bet!Hope this helps.

Plasm tv's have amazing color. But this tv has glare problems. So be fowarned. Great colors, but keep it in a dark room.

Not worth it. I got this tv to replace is cheaper 47" Sharp TV, and have to say I am disappointed in the picture quality. The picture is dim and washed out, I am wondering if the reviews here are for the right television. On scale of 1 to 10, 10 being best I'd rate my Samsung F5300 as a 5. Hopefully I can find some good calibration settings

TV hopeful, obviously you will buy what you think is best and Costco has the new Vizio 55 inch for $1800 but I am floored by the picture on this Samsung. I was going to buy a vizio but decided to hold out for this Samsung once they released their new 55 inch LED LCD and figured I'd get a good price which after a lot of work I did, $1620.00..good luck in your purchase which ever one you decide to get

I am looking to buy this tv as well. Bestbuy has it for the same price. + tax of course. i hear alot about a buzz. that is why i am thinking best buy might be the way to go just in case of a return.

You are right about the 4665 price fluctuations. I got it from Electronics Express (through Amazon) for $1950 + shipping, problem is they are out of stock. It's been 3 1/2 weeks since my order. Normally I'd cancel and go through someone else, but I now can't find the tv in stock for any less than $2450! I'm not willing to pay an extra $400, so continue to wait for EE to get a new shipment in.

I bought this TV on November 6 during what seems like a great deal. The TV, 46XBR9 was $1,387 and included for free the wireless Sony blu ray player AND a Sony sound bar system. All this for $1,387. Today (Nov. 10) the price on the TV is $1,960. These dramatic price changes are incomprehensible to me.

The price now is still set fairly high but keep in mind that amazon does like to set prices low for a day or two and then raise them on the fly. Once these sell out which they will the price will probably go up once this happens, it wont be the MSRP price but I beleive it will be a tad bit higher than what it is now. I just bought mine for $2849 I beleive it will be superior to the 55C7000 which had some back lighting issues (which everyone already knows about) so I would encourage those on the fence to go ahead and grab one, because this price is "reasonable" for this kinda Tv.

I definitely would especially since you will still be under the retail price. Did a lot of research on LGs warranty program and they seem to be on of the best. If it is a family TV it is going to be put to the test. For me, after 5 years, I will probably be ready for a new TV. (Best TV I have ever had btw.)

vilasgn,I also took the gamble with a used-very good. The tv showed up 2 days ago, and it looks great, like brand new. We can't figure out what's supposed to be wrong with it, for them to take off $300, but I am glad I went for it. Fingers crossed you'll have the same experience I did.

The lighning deal was 400., it's now listed at 548., but I'd imagine it may drop in the next month or so. The model came out in 2008, I believe. I've had it less than a week now, so far seems very good. I really haven't had a chance to fully explore it yet. Using it as a bedroom TV.

Yes, this tv is worth buying. I have the panasonic 54v10 and it handles the games great.

I got this same tv for 596.00 at SAMs club. What is the actual price of this tv because I want another one
2209225
abe's of maine sells it for 1929.18. free shipping and no tax. if you live in california and buy at amazon, this tv will almost be around 3000. just buy it with your american express . they will double the manufacturers warranty so you'll have 2 years. then buy square trades 5 year warranty for 206$ and you are set.

I would like to know this also. I don't think any information will be available unfortunately. I'd like to say that the original MSRP for LN55A950 was $4,199.00 and then it was increased to $4,799.00 I think. Either way many retailers selling this TV at a premium (way above MSRP). The price should drop a little because Sharp and Sony are both releasing LED sets either in October or November. I think the original $4,199.00 price was good for a TV like this, but it is definitely not worth $5,000.

You don't by a Denon AKDL1 for $500. At that price you buy at least 2!It's a tough economy, but you can't turn down a deal like this!!!!!

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 have no problems with this tv. It came on original box and looked brand new. I give it 5 stars at this prive

I ordered a 4071f from them, and it appeared to be a brand new tv. It was in very good shape. I decided it was too small for my living room, but it was in really good condition. That has been my experience.
