Does anyone know if the 1080p version is worth the extra $70? Is the picture that much better?

I don't thing you'll notice a bit of difference between the two in this size TV.The bigger the set the more that feature becomes significant.I'd consider it on a 40" but not a 32"

On a smaller screen, 720 is as good as 1080 -- hard to tell the difference. I think when you go over 40", you would be better served by 1080.

I do not get 1080P but 720P looks fine. I suspect that you could have gotten away with the LT. I bought it for MLB TV and then discovered PLEX. I use PLEX to stream video from my desktop to my Roku.

James Friel, nice price on the 46 inch 1080p Samsung. That sounds like a great deal.

The 4k has a beautiful picture. I have been very happy with it. Recently Netflix announced some 4k streaming. i viewed some of the offerings and the differences from HD run from minor to significantly clearer almost 3D like. The 4k is pricey vs what is available on 1080 and the return on investment is not yet confirmed but given what i saw on Netflix it is promising.

yes, 1080p is better than 720p and you will notice a difference even at 20ft away (given the source material/player/source is in 1080p)!

Grab a Blu player , as you'll be fine with the 720p ; no downgrade in PQ as the Blu player will still output to 1080p . Just set the Blu player to 1080p (and 24fps to auto) and enjoy the picture .

I went through all the technical spec agony and then chose this set because I could see no difference in the picture between this model and the more expensive 1080p or i's. In fact it is better than all the others I compared it to. In particular the colors are truer and the detail is outstanding. Remember you are watching high definition in the store. Standard programming is not quite as good on any set although it is better on this size than on larger models. Be prepared to get the HD option on your cable or sat. I frequently watch active sports. None of the issues you mentioned are discernible. The only time you might notice a slight blur is in a very fast video game but you would not see it unless you were specifically looking for it.

I currently have the A3 for my 40" 1080i Samsung LCD. I also picked up a new A35 from Best Buy for $150. Now I have a back up/player, If I decide to upgrade to a 1080p TV. Go online to bestbuy.com, see if the stores in your area have any available. If they do, then run! At this price they're going very fast.Remember the five free movie rebate is still going, you have until 2/28.

The 4k is newest generation and to my opinion if you buy but what is the best not what is on the market. The picture quality is much better in comparison to1090 and it is up you what to choose.

Yes. It is high-definition because it is 1080p. In fact, today, I was watching a nature show on Blu-ray disc, using my attached Blu-ray player. The clarity on this TV screen was excellent. Then, right after that, I watched another nature movie, this time a regular, not Blu-ray, disc, and I could really see the difference. The picture was still good, but it was a little soft, not razor sharp like the Blu-ray disc.

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.

I have the 750. I bought it since it was only a few bucks more. Yeah, the extras are pretty weak, but the pics and artwork are pretty cool. I can't remember what the 650 looked like in comparison, but I like the way the 750 looks as far as the bezel.The main thing I'm very happy about is the sound system. I have a 5.1 system, but sometimes I don't want to mess with it. It needs to be upgraded, but it's not a priority for me. The sound on the TV is great. Very clear and all the volume you want. It goes up to 100 on it's scale I think, but at 20, I'm maxed out.If they're within $40-$50, get the 750. If it's more, opt for the 650. I have the 750.

To the best of my knowledge the highest resolution is 1440x1080p which when played back is reported as 1920x1080p. It's not true 1080p but it's better than 720p and honestly it looks pretty damn good, with decent lighting of course.

I think if you can find the HD at a decent price I'd go with it. I got mine (Ultra HD) at Best Buy on sale for $169.99 plus I had $10 dollars in rewards coupons, so $159.99. I think there is about a $50 +/- difference in the two. I love the video on the HD, but I've seen two Ultra video reviews that look pretty darn good in quality. I'm thinking of getting my son the Ultra non HD for Christmas, just because he will trash it quick and why spend the extra $$$.

The older unit is the same as the newer one. I am not sure what changes were made. I have the older unit and bought the newer unit for my son. As far as I can tell, they are the same. It may be internal or in the software. I did see the older unit has a better description and a view of the back of the unit. Both units include 1080p output.

I was at Sam's Club the other day and did a side by side comparison of a 32-in 1080p and 720p playing the exact same programming. I felt I could tell a difference in the HD programming. The 720p had less details in the skin tones than the 1080p.
