They knew you were an occupy supporter so when you ordered it they cut off the extra inches to spite you.

Direction matters. Measure the screen diagonally. Class warfare has nothing to do with it.

Yeah, I waited for months and finally pulled the trigger when it was that low. It's back up to 2350.00 now. On the last post I meant to say it jumped from 2144.99 to 2299.99 not 2999.99. I didn't mount it but I have it on my dvd/boxset cabinet and thanks to its wide base and it being fairly light (especially for the size) it works well. There are tons of wall mounts out there but most just say fits any LCD 32"-50" or something like that. I have never mounted a tv so I wouldn't be able to help you but just google it and you should find recommendations.

I origionally bought the 40" two weeks ago for $1,059.99 from Nebraska Furnitutre Mart (NFM). I though this was an excelent price for a brand new TV of this quality and i was very impressed with the TV no complaints except i wished i had bought a larger model. Yesterday i noticed Best Buy had the 42" on sale for $999.99 and so i called up NFM and asked if i could return my 40" and get the 42". Not only did they let me exchange my model they credited my credit card to the tune of $107.00. NFM had the 42" on sale for only $959.99 which after tax gave me a savings of $107.00 and a larger set. I had played with the 40" picture settings and had arranged them to suit my viewing preference. So far i have not been able to set the 42" to my liking. And i'm hopeing i can make the correct adjustments. The TV does seem to be the correct size for my lounge and so i am very happy i made the up grade (especially as i am $107.00 better off). I do feel that the 40" had a better picture. This seems insane as it has the same technology but for some reason the 40" seemed to have a sharper picture. It may just be i can see the imperfections on the larger screen. Anyway getting back to your point, the only reason i can think for pricing this TV less than the 40" model is to reduce the stock on the 42" model. I'm guessing they sold a bunch of 40" models over Thanksgiving and felt they needed to reduce stock on the 42" model. We will probably see new technology replacing this model and so i guess its out with the old and in with the new.

I was wondering the same thing. Im gonna call sammy to find out. It seems like such a huge discrepancy to be in this many places. There is more than a small difference between 50,000:1 and 15:000:1. If you find out please let me know ***EDIT*** After calling Sammy's CS they informed me that it was infact a 15,000:1 ratio'd tv. Not bad, but nowhere near the 50,000:1 that has been advertised all over the net. Thanks **EDIT #2** This TV is great. I love it. I would go into detail about the performance and quality, but its one of those things that you really need to see in a display next to a lesser tv. I have this 32 incher right next to a Sharp Aquos 32gp1u and it out shines in almost every way except for the ease of adjusting the picture. Apart from the minor menu quibble this tv is as close to perfect as you are going to find in a 32 inch model. Hands down and without a doubt worth the money if you want a quality 32 flat panel tv with lots of inputs.

Not yet, but I'm thinking about it seriously. I've reviewed a lot of different tv's, this one looks like the best...I particularly like the 50,000:1 ratio. The only thing holding me back is, I've heard that new models of Blu Ray DVD are coming out later this summer that are much improved... Anyway, I saw this (the 46" model) in a store, and it looks VERY nice...

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.

I'm about to order this TV, but I'm getting confused! So, to see less blurring while watching action sports, I have to switch the TV to "movie" option to activate the 120hz? I've owned the 40" 550 model for two days, and it's going back. I watched one period of hockey yesterday and got a headache from the blurring. But does the 120hz noticeably change that while watching sports??? Seems like lots people are on both sides of the fence on that issue, and I'd hate to spend $300 more for this TV and have basically the same problem (I realize that all LCDs have this issue to some extent).

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 am not sure how helpful this reply is, but I am in the process of upgrading an existing TV and spent about half an hour just looking at the 55" and up TV's at Best Buy yesterday for about half an hour. I watched about 8 different sets which included both Plasma (Samsung & Panasonic) along with LED edge-lit tv's from Samsung, LG, Sharp and Sony. I have to say that I only saw this on one TV and that was a Sharp 60" set. This set was set to ultra-torch mode and looked pretty crappy in general. I attributed the issue to the settings being cranked too high. I can't guarentee you that the problem would completely disappear with either a DIY adjustment or with professional calibration but I am sure it would be much, much less noticeable. My guess is that the lower end Sharp sets are going to be a little more tempermental and need more adjustments and tradeoffs. I would really like to see one of these sets in a real world set up and adjusted properly (I want a 60" TV with a smaller bexel due to space restrictions (Panny 60" ST30 is just a little too big). I really did like the looks of the LG 55LW5600. I have plasma right now and like it, but I am not convinced the blacks really are that good despite what David K. says on CNET. Some of the edge-lit LED sets do have decent black levels and detail in darker scenes. Maybe not as good as the Panny's, but they are so much brighter (will be used in a well-lit living room) and whites are white and not gray!

Heck no, that is a TOTAL non issue. You can clearly see the full picture while practically standing next to it....but honestly, who even stands that far to the side watching TV anyway, to me that's a bogus specification. Trust me, this TV has an amazing picture. You would be totally throwing away your money on something more expensive. Something else to keep in mind, you can't always trust the video feeds that big box stores feed their sets. Sometimes that have worse feeds going to certain TV's because they need to meet a sales quota. ALSO, those TVs on the wall at the stores are NOT calibrated for the best viewing. I have my sharp 70" on the Dynamic mode, everything just pops more. Hope that helps.

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.

Thats almost laughable to consider a 92" tv priced at 4k as too expensive. If you cant afford it the 73" models can be found around 1k now though... I currently am using a 73838, but will be soon upgrading to this 92" and the price for a screen this size is unbeatable. If you really need 92" just wait a couple years and they will drop in price, but in the mean time you will be missing out and IMHO the extra grand or two you will spend now is well worth not having to wait.

I ended up purchasing this display as well...and I'm very happy with it. I've owned the TV for roughly a month now...Regarding the questions that I asked previously in this post, I have yet to see any banding issues on any DVDs or Blu rays, no clouding issues, and have not experienced any hdmi hand shaking issues what so ever. I really can not comment right now on the sports issue due to the football season being over...but I will be watching the NCAA tourney! So far, the TV has performed exceptional and the picture quality is excellent.

I enjoy helping answering questions, but I gotta say, this has been answered time and time again by many responders. Please take a moment and read previous replies and/or look at specs for this TV.

Hi Jason, I actually just spent two hours on hold waiting for Sony to get to the bottom of the 24p/120hz issue for me, and this TV indeed runs at 60hz, which means it really is not True 24p, because the frame duplication is not equal for every frame, as it would be for 120hz (i.e. each of the 24 frames per second would be replicated five times per second as the TV refreshes 120 times in that second....24x5 = 120). This model is 60hz, so the frames replicate at something like 2:3:3:3:2 and so on (not quite sure how correct that is). I am actually very dissatisfied with this, because the whole reason I upgraded to this TV and Blu Ray was to have ACTUAL True 24p. With the Sony 32 and 37 inch models, they are falsely advertising completely...But most people would never notice a difference. 24p from Blu Ray still looks incredible on this TV, but there ARE times where something just doesn't QUITE look right...and I do notice it. I would have saved up a few extra hundred dollars for the larger, 120hz TVs had I known the technicalities of this back then....

To all the people bad mouthing this 47" toshiba 1080p lcd tv: IT'S YOUR LOSS!I bought this tv for the $1199 & so far-no regret. I had read all the reviews & saw that most of the negatives were from people who had ordered previously through a 3rd party vendor & received a 42" instead of a 47". Also some complained about a 'green shift or push'--I have not seen it. Maybe this sale batch of tv's were improved. There are so many ways to adjust the color, but it looked good right out of the box so I only made minor adjustments. Glad I got it & the 52" Toshiba when they were on sale-'cause of the savings & the good quality.

It is exactly that. It's an affordable large-screen LCD TV. I have the 50" and its' been great since setting it up 4 months ago. Samsung and those more popular names are nice if you are looking for a few more bells and whistles. Those are usual Smart TVs and include Netflix, Hulu, etc. apps. This TV does not. But it's a good quality set and I would buy one again!
