Samsung 7 Series LCDs No Longer on the Samsung.com Website: Anyone know why 7 Series LCDs are no longer shown on the Samsung Website?

Word is that it is no longer on the site because the new models are supposed to be released soon. I have been watching the price for a while too, and Amazon's is about the best at the moment, though you can watch Slickdeals.net forums for new deals.

Did you have a terrible experience with Samsung 30 years ago? For the past 10 years, I have owned Samsung TVs (4) in three different countries and I haven't found a reason to make a switch. (I've also owned a Shard and Toshibha in the interim). You might have received a bad unit, am not sure I would generalize the problem to the entire brand.

I agree D. I guess Amazon deleted them because they don't want people to hold off buying the TV just because they think the price will decrease. To Amazon, they'd prefer it if MORE people paid 1749 for the TV than a reduced price of say1249. My thing is: why make the link to this forum available in the first place?

I purchased Samsung 58" plasma PNC58C7000 from amazon website. The seller: Beach Camera. I was busy with work and did not get to open the box until 10 days later. I was horrified to find the TV screen Damaged. Beach Camera refusing to return the TV. Any suggestions? I am stuck w a $ 2200 TV. ThanksSamsung PN58C7000 58-Inch 1080p 3D Plasma HDTV (Black)

Check the Samsung website under product info or ask the web chat reps. That's how I found out.

I am sorry but my husband has that computer overseas. I have actually never open it and seen the LCD on it. I am sorry.

Oh my gosh, that is EXACTLY the same problem we are having. It started maybe 4-6 months out of warranty. I am SO mad about t his. We are out of warranty and took it to a TV repairman, he said he couldn't fix it because they don't make just the part that is needed. We would basically need to replace the whole LCD at that point and that wouldn't be worth it. (cost me $75 for the assessment too!) I am going to call Samsung tonight but I am not hoping for much.

I talked to the Sony warranty people for over an hour today. This is some of last years 4k parts, so it does have a track record. The panel is new just coming out in September. The one thing I like about the Sony is that they are not getting the Chinese boards. Way too many quality control issues coming out of the student free labor in these electronic plants. The tech high school kids are working for free and the quality shows. Samsung and Panasonic have had quality issues in both the Plasma and LCD/LED, read all the reviews here and you will see what I mean. I own two Samsung's, and switched to Sony, because of returning 3-Plasmas, 3-blu-rays, and having my current Samsung LED fixed twice. I own a PS3 and it just runs, when my Samsung Blu-rays would not. See my latest review on the size of pixels for repair under warranty.

I agree. in the store the LED versions were not as crisp/bright and the colors were goofy. This was the same in 2 Best Buy stores and Circuit City stores. I currently have the bulb model but am experiencing noise from the color wheel. This would not happen with the LED version. I called Samsung to see if they planned on releasing a new 56 in LED and the girl was clueless, yawned on the phone and was of no help. I emailed Samsung and no response. I am not very impressed with that co so far.

I looked at both the 6 series and 7 series at my local Fry's store. The salesman pointed out that the "frame" around the screen is glued on in the 6 series. The frame actually started to separate from the screen after the floor model had been on for for many hours. While the 7 series is actually screwed on the set to prevent this from happening.

The 554 is NOT currently available per Vizio's own website you lying troll."This item is Coming Soon." http://www.vizio.com/led-lcd-hdtvs/xvt3d554sv.html

Actually, they didn't include it for their 2010 models either. According to Samsung, you can only access Amazon's VOD if you have the 2012 model. Ridiculous!

The only reason I can see is that Samsung discontinued this t.v, and with the overall design is not as space efficient as any of Samsungs other dlp televisions. I have this one and also a 720p set by samsung which I bought in 10-2006. Just to let you know, Samsung also has on sale a 50" DLP 720p set for $899.I bought this one, and gave the 720p set to my parents, and to be honest with you I didnt notice a difference at all. If youre just breaking into the HD world, Id suggest getting one of the HLT models from samsung that is on sale now on amazon. You wont notice a difference, save yourself hundreds, and will less likely have problems with the set, as I and many others have with this particular model.

For me it's real hard to shop apples to apples for anything. I do feel that this TV is the best bang for my dollar. Why was it discontinued?

Man Vince, that sucks, I really feel bad for you having to go through all the stuff you have. Even with the repair the screen is faulty. I would see if you can still return it to Amazon and get an exchange. I currently own a Sony 40" 720p/1080i set I got in Nov of 2006 and Ive been thinking of upgrading to the Samsung 4071, but all the crap youve gone through scares me. I dont know what I would do if I spent that much on a TV only for it work partially.

ack.. was wondering what the heck was happening with my tv. This guy posted a video on the jumper clip fix for the 46 and 55 variants of this tv. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZwQ0gRQ9sgI'm wondering if this isolated to only the panels made in china or all panels? Assuming that the boards are manufactured from different places. I'm going to call this into Samsung just to see what happens if not I'll be trying this jumper fix.
