Has anyone tried both this and and the other model they're selling on here, the S1933X? If so, could you please list any big differences? Quality, color/tint, fit (does one run bigger than the other), etc..... Thanks.

This model is designed to fit over eyeglasses. The S1933X is more for people who don't wear glasses. I have purchased both models for myself and members of my family. I have also purchased the Solar Shield Fits Over glasses from amazon which block out more than just the blue light for even better relaxation and health. I would suggest checking out the benefits of blue light blocking lenses on the internet if you have not done so. Hope this information is helpful to you.

I also own both and I like them equally. Whichever was the cheaper, I'd buy that one. Although I do like the more matte screen surface of the 226BW.PS: It is tricky (and extremely important) to get the contrast/brightness set juuuuust right.

the new GTS with the G92 and 512 specs will have a bigger fan than the GT, heat has been the major problem of the GT cards and in performance its gonna be slightly faster with a 128 shader comparing to the 112 from the GTi say wait they should be out on the 13th of DEC

Hey there! I'm in the same predicament also? I just purchased the 32m3000 series for the "cheap" price of $649 when it was available at other non competitor retailers for $550-575. (I wanted the 4 year protection plan the cheaper guys didn't offer). It's a gift for father so it's not opened yet. The only thing the store assistant said was that one model's from 2007 and the other is 2008. He didn't want to lie to me about tech knowledge he didn't know about.

I just saw it in the store today. Did u see the "halo affect" around the edges. I could see it, bit I'm not sure it's a deal breaker. The 650 has the same PQ, but no Halo Affect. I may be going with the 650.

I ordered mine on May 6th (Amazon being the seller), and just got it. It doesn't have the yellow tint issue. It is REV A01, U2412Mb, with a date of manufacturing of March 2014. This is my 2nd one. I ordered my first one in January of 2013 that also does not have the yellow tint issue. It is REV A00, U2412Mb, with a date of manufacturing of December 2012.

Michael...Thank you very much for your input - this helps. I know there are xbr4's out there with no fan noise from reading countless reviews. Maybe the third one will be the charm(?) Can I ask where & when you purchased yours? I'm wondering if the ones with later production dates have better fans. Is the Panasonic you're referring to a Plasma? Our living room is pretty bright, especially in the summer months.Also thanks for your comments regarding the Samsung models. We were hesitant on the 71 because of the glossy screen & I've read a few other comments regarding "shadow effect". Thanks again!!! Michael...Thank you very much for your input - this helps.

From everything I've heard, they are identical under the skin, and it's just a cosmetic difference. But just to confirm, you should check the specs. to make sure.

Hi, I was at Circuit City and I was viewing Samsung and a Sony at the same time. I wanted to buy the Samsung but I have the same problem you do.. Glare. The salesman said that the Samsung has a gloss screen as the sony has more of a matte screen but it has just a little gloss but a lot less then samsung.. So I decided to buy the Sony LCD. Sony is better in this situation.

Marc,It looks like the AL2223 has slightly better features. This is the model that I will be purchasing in the coming week or so. The contrast ratio is slightly higher (800:1 as opposed to 700:1) so I think this is a better deal. Maybe others have some feedback that will add to the discussion?: Michael

Go for the highest contrast ratio, otherwise you will regret it later. I own the 71 and love it. The glare is not a problem for me. And the gloss makes the colors more brilliant.

I have the G3 (3rd generation) 1080p version. The mirror is tinted, and usable. But the image on the mirror appears a little bit distorted, and look unreal. I also have Papago GoSafe 260 which is way better, no distortion. Both do not have auto-dimming. But these do not matter as both are anti-glare and you can see cars behind at night without problem. I will pick Papago over Abeo since both HD quality are similar in day time, but Papago has a better HD quality at night and also the mirror quality is excellent.

That's silly that they said that. As it turns out, I have a black s4 as well, and it looks equally nice if not nicer. The case is clear, so actually it just smokes the color and the dark grey bumper looks nice with the black. So, we arent talking about insulting the color wheel here. All neutral dark greys and transparent backing looks very good against black. I think youll like it. Again, this case is very good. Hope that helped. Cheers!

I went with the 4661F mainly because of the non-glare screen. I looked at them both, side-by-side in the store at Best Buy in full daylight and the 4665 was just too reflective and distractive, like looking into a mirror. So what if it has a better contrast ratio. It's really negligible unless you are a videophile geek with superhuman bionic vision who can really distinguish between contrast blacks. And for the money, the 4661F is the better deal. Easiest choice I have ever made buying a television and couldn't be happier.

Thank you R.R. That was my conclusion a couple of months ago when considering the S350 or the 1500 but then I read quite a few reviews that said they were having no issues with the 1500 and customer service was great. I've decided on the Panny for the reasons you detailed and that the Samsung needs to be added to and upgraded to be comparable to the Panny so why bother for a few dollars savings. I've ordered the 35K and look forward to enjoying it.....Thanks again!!

I owned the i5 but it was stolen. I'm looking to replace it now. I like the c330 better in every way except that the screen is significantly less bright. For this reason alone, I'm thinking of getting another i5. Price diff is negligable (approx $50)

S. Ali,I am also torn - can't see a big difference between them - which one did you get? Thanks!momphx2
