Amazon website says that they have the TVs available if we buy them and they'll be delivered in 3-5 business(or so) days, is that true? Did they advertise that in the past and you had to wait months for the delivery?

You may have just swayed my decision. I want to love this TV and I won't be buying for a week or so still. I can only hope for the $1479 price tag soon.I've heard sometimes the buzzing doesn't start for a week or so. I hope we each don't have to hear it though.

i am in the same boat as you. this tv looks awesome but now it is not available. did they make a new model? if so, where can you get it?

The description of the tv doesn't say anything about it. Mine should arrive in about a week. I'll let you know then.

Apparently this TV is on back order. Amazon called today to try to get me to substitute the TV for the 55UB8500 model. Not sure if it's worth it yet, still researching and comparing the two models.

I placed the order in november when it was backordered for $999 and mine was shipped on December 6th.. Totally love the TV except for harddrive issue I am having.

I bought the tv for that price. I got it for $1631 on July 30th, I don't know how much that helps you. I checked the next day and the price had raised to above 1700 so I assume I got very lucky.

Hey Oleg, I was just wondering if you might give me/us an update on the TV. I'm about to pull the trigger on the same model/size as the one you bought and just wanted to know how satisfied you are with your purchase. Also was wondering how well the 3D works, if you would be so kind. Thank You!

1) The TV rose $135, not $230. 2) Amazon has an EXCELLENT price match policy. I bought mine for $1520 and the next day it went down to $1489 and I got credited the $31 price drop. I wouldn't worry, as I guarantee the price will come back down, probably during labor day weekend. 3) Why did you have to wait to get your paycheck to buy the TV? Sounds like a dumb excuse to me. Put it on a credit card, and that gives you a whole month until you actually have to pay for it.

I know how you feel man!!I was going to buy this TV 2 days ago at 21XX. When I loged in today to go ahead and buy it (I was still debating to jump on the XBR6 or wait for the XBR7) BOOM price goes up to 2499.99!!! =[Looks like I'm going to have to wait a lil longer *sad face*

No it wasn't a hassle, Amazon is good about returning the TV, if you have issues with it.It took me about 3 weeks to get the credit so I was happy with that.

How long did the shipping take? I ask because I ordered the bundle yesterday. Everything said "shipping soon"... the blue ray player now says "shipped", but the TV has changed back to "not yet shipped". Delivery estimate is still 5-8 days due to having to use the free delivery,, estimate is Dec 21-24 and need the TV to be here before christmas. Has anyone been able to change the delivery options and pay for faster delivery?

thanks I was thinking about waiting but doing the research it seems that there will not be any cast improvements in tech on the tv. This combined with the great prices on them are making it mighty inticing to purchase. I like my panasonic I have now but I feel the picture could be better. Thats why I want to upgrade I'm just trying to justify buying spending the money.

I bought my 40" Samsung UN40F6400 40-Inch 1080p 120Hz 3D Slim Smart LED HDTV on October 23 of last year. It "broke" over a month ago and I could not get it replaced though the Samsung company. It took along time to find this information out and they took their sweet time. Finally, Amazon took my TV back just last week but not for full price and I had to pay the shipping. Over 65.00. Trust me I love Amazon and their customer service, but I am truly upset with Samsung's service. If I were you I would try to find another brand of TV.

This is the First time EVER I have replied to someone posting on these forums. Usually, I enjoy reading and gaining insight on the topic at hand. But, since I have first hand experience I will share what I think you should do. I believe you should order it online from Amazon.com and not from one of the retailers that you can purchase from through amazon, for instance, Datavision, J&R, or Beach Camera. The price difference from bestbuy and amazon.com (Directly Amazon) is too much to ignore. I just ordered the Samsung Lnt4065f for my room for 1499.98 and it arrived on time and with great service. Eagle called me the day before and scheduled a delivery window of two to three hours and brought the tv into my house. They set it up on my tv stand and stayed until the the Lcd Tv was on and in working order. On top of that I was lucky enough to see the price drop on my model twice in a week to 1459.99 then 1409.98. I was fortunate enough to read some of these forums and realize that we could get credited back the difference within thirty days. I called Amazon and they took care of the matter immediately. The first time crediting back $40 then the second time $50. (As a sidenote, since then the Tv I bought has gone back up to 1459.98 with shipping) The price is just insanely GREAT! This same tv that I bought for $1409.98 with white glove delivery (aka bringing the tv into your house and making sure it works so you can decide whether or not you are going to accept or refuse the tv) costs $150- $200 on other websites. If I calculated shipping as $150 then I would have basically paid $1259.98. The set I bought, Samsung Lnt4065f costs 1999.99 without tax at best buy, with tax equating to well over $2100! I would again buy from directly from amazon.com (the company and not another third party vendor using amazon as a storefront) for my future big ticket purchases. I hope this helped.

I was also unsure, hence why I grabbed the U edition right here on Amazon and it was delivered brand new fresh in three days. The TV was manufactured in August I believe too. Very happy. I'd say grab the U model just to be safe.
