My TV is scheduled to be delivered between the 13th and the 29th so I will see, the serial # should be the first thing we check out with Samsung because it will determine weather we can warrant our TV's if so then we are ok, if someone gets they're TV first post on here any updated info.
72154
Wow all the way from China, well most of the stuff from Chinese is fake so most likely the tv will be as well, I will contact Samsung to get details on how to Ept a fake and I believe the serial number would be the first thing we would need to cross-refrence with Samsung, if we are able to get a warranty for this tv we should be ok, I will be contacting Amazon about this and see if there's additional info that allies for the A to Z coverage concerning counterfit merchandise. If this tv is indeed a fake and we prove it looks like we will be shutting down he's Amazon store and eBay store:)

I would also advise that you contact Amazon as well to let them know about your concerns so they can start looking into this vendor a bit closer, my CC payment is still pending status so hopefully if it is a scam amazon can put a full stop to everything and call it a day.

Wow! Thanks very much! This is helpful. It's also information that Amazon does not have. You would think their sellers would be vetted more and that they would have complete information. I will call him too.
72157
I appreciate the "back up - Amazon isnt being much help other than to say to wait until the delivery timeframe expires and I can then file a claim...so much for consumer protection!

I purchased the same tv from this vendor yesterday too! I have asked for a tracking number but have not received it yet. I am also skeptical at this point. Hoping someone from Amazon monitors this site and can respond and check into this situation.
72159
I paid for the television but the seller will not give me tracking information until he receives payment from Amazon. Amazon claims he was paid. So, I am caught in the middle. I don't know if this whole sale is real or not. I can't file any claim with Amazon until 3 days after the "scheduled" delivery time, which conveniently was posted as 2 week span by the seller. And, Amazon will not contact the seller or intervene on my behalf. So, buyer "beware"!!!

I am un certain if its real or fake. Samsung is a chinese company. I am trying to find out info also on how to tel if its fake or real but I think you are right. If we can register it, it should not matter.
72161
Yes I contacted Amazon to varify that the A to Z policy applies and we are covered if we never receive the TV, I did also contact the vendor with few questions only to get replies that didnt answer anything i asked at all? plus it seemed like he had issues spelling and putting sentences together kinda of lead me to believe it could be some sort of a overseas scam maybe?

I would say "Don't bother". I attempted to place an order for this TV from basics4home yesterday. I wasn't too worried about it being a scam since (1) I used my credit card, and (2) it was covered by amazon's "a to z guarantee". In less than 24 hours, the order was cancelled by the seller due to what amazon said was an "inventory problem". I received no notification about the cancellation, and only discovered it when I attempted to review the order on the amazon.com website. I don't think basics4home had any intention of ever selling it for the price they quoted.I'm surprised amazon.com even agreed to include them in their list of resellers. I would say "Don't bother".

Yes one suggestion I would like to make to the rest of the buyers. Don't let amazon tell you to call up samsung and let them deal with it if you are still within the return/exchange period. They told me the same thing when I called. I just emailed them after the call, and voila, the next day I get the email of "we are sorry for your inconvenience, we have shipped your exchanged TV and will pick up your old TV while dropping this one off". Bottom line, if you are still within the exchange/return period, do it through amazon.

WB, I just ordered this TV and so far the process has been great. I placed the order the day before yesterday, got a confirmation email this morning saying it was shipped, And a phone call from the shipping company M.. something asking me when i wanted it delivered .. I could of got it by this coming thursday but i work and am goin outa town next weekend so they work around ur scheduel to deliver when your at home. (If someone isnt home the day they deliver and they have to come back you can get hit with a double shipping charge - That y the person on the phone scheduels a day/times for ur delivery. I'll be getting mine on the 11th of June. From what the shipping company they told me on the phone they expect you to fully inspect the TV and you can refuse it if there is a defect to get a replacement...only after you've inspected the tv the delivery person leaves after you sign a piece of paper saying your happy with it. If you do refuse it they'll send it back and you have to contact J&R and tell them why ect... I'll keep you posted when i get the tv and check it out on the 11th. So far everything has gone by fast and smooth. I was a little sceptical too cuz its alot of money. UPDATE : 6-12-07 The delivery is top notch. the tv arrived new and no defects..i would recomend it. It comes with a year and a half warranty thrrough sony so if u have issues find ur closest sony style store abd pick up the info on who u contact etc in ur local area. DC

I didn't realize TV's trade like stocks these days??? I had it in my cart for $1055.00 on 8/24 in the AM and an hour later it went to $1,100+, now its $1,222? Funny how I have never seen anything go down in price after putting in my cart. I've seen things go down a bit when in saved items but never when you're ready to check out. I'm a huge Amazon fan but someone is playing games here.

I am so disgusted that amazon is asking me about this TV. I ordered it in August, immediately received a tracking number, then UPS for the next 2 weeks claimed they never picked up that tracking number. It was fake. Then every time I called or emailed Amazon, they told me that I could not get my money back yet, I had to give them 2 weeks to investigate. I for one will certainly NEVER allow amazon to make such a large charge to my credit card. Id much rather spend the extra $20 and buy it from a brick and mortar location. Amazon, you repulse me! Not even an "I'm sorry" Never accepted there was an issue! I am so disgusted that amazon is asking me about this TV.

I agree that this TV is excessively priced, especially since this is an old model as pointed out by Shaq. I don't understand Amazon's strategy. If they are sitting on a bunch of old TVs in their inventory, why don't they price them with a true sales price ?? Like in the week before the Super Bowl for example ?? Just a suggestion... I know I would consider buying it then !!

As other people have mentioned Samsung has new 1080p lcds coming out, so these models are not going to be made anymore which is probably why amazon does not have any. While the new tv's have some improvements, just like anything with tech toys, the price will be high for a while.

I just wanted to warn people. After I saw the post by "Internet Shopper" I did some quick background reasearch on basics4home (the person/company selling the TV for $1649). On Ebay the guy/company got a lot of negative comments recently - check this out http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid;=basics4home&ftab;=AllFeedback.So be warnwed - I would have been tempted - but the feedback about him being a potential scamster puts me off.

I would worry. I was supposed to have my TV delivered last Friday. Never came, no call from Pilot or anything. I call every day since then and just found out today that Pilot "does not have the TV", they lost it. They blamed Amazon, Amazon blames Pilot. Long story short I'm not getting a TV as Amazon no longer has any in stock to send me as a replacement.Very upset with both companies. I hope your experience turns out better.

Ed, did you buy 2 TVs? (1 post in November and another in January), each at $950 total?!?Is Andorama a store? looks like a portal with ads... do you have a link?Thanks!

Thanks Payton for shedding light on the rating "games" being played here.If its such a bad TV why is it selling for regular price at crutchfield, Circuit City and Bestbuy etc. Its an Amazon special, it will be $1649 aqain any second now..As with anythign you buy your bound to get a loemon here and there. This green and banding I have personaly not experienced and I own 2 in this series...So for all the "Experts" rating there first LCD tv ever and giving this series a bad name..stop offering your Beginners opinion, on a product in which you have no clue on.

The fluctuating prices are confusing. What makes it even more confusing is that a search of LNT4071F sometimes takes you to Amazon's listing and sometimes takes you to someone else's (Electronics Expo in this case). If you don't notice the little footnote that says Electronics Expo, you may not notice this - until you check out and suddenly find that shipping has been added. And then you might not notice that you still have the option of ordering from Amazon, as they are listed as an alternate seller. Amazon has 30-day price protection, so even if you order now, you should be able to take advantage of any price drops that happen around Black Friday. Be forewarned - the TV will be just the first of many expenses. You'll need to upgrade your cable/satellite service, you'll need something to record HD content, you'll need an HDTV camcorder ... and then you'll want to replace your other TV, and the process will start all over. Buy your HDMI cables through Amazon. Don't let the Big Box store convince you that you need to spend hundreds of dollars on Monster Cables. The only thing "Monster" about them is the profit margin.

I picked mine up through Costco and have also noted that it's not on their website right now, odd. It was 1,399 w/ free shipping and it is the best TV I've ever seen. You'd have to pry it out of my cold dead hands.

I bought it from Amazon for $1389 like December 10th-ish with no blu-ray. I complained to customer service after I received the TV and they refunded me $100 and gave me the blu ray player for free. So I guess it's worth a shot if Buy.com's customer service is as good as Amazon.com's.

Yeah Damon, I think and feel the same way as you do. I had exactly the same untimely response as you did! What a joke GE Money Bank is!!! But, I still thought the 31% off the MSRP of $3500 was a killer offer I couldn't refuse! Now, I see that Samsung has reduced the MSRP to $3200, w/Amazon currently selling at 22% off ~ still not as hot a deal, but pretty darn good- I feel that, that price will probably drop another 4-7% over the next month though! So, why not take the plunge then, and just plop it on another card?

hot did you get that deal from US-Appliances? I am also tired of waiting for amazon to get this TV in stock. Oh well, I would rather get from Amazon. I will wait few more days and see what shall happen
