4665 vs 4661 I have been looking at these tvs for a while and the 4665 is $1800 and the 4661 is $1650. What is the main difference between the two tvs. I assume the 4665 is a bit newer model?? Hence the slightly higher price. Any input is appreciated. 4665 vs 4661 I have been looking at these tvs for a while and the 4665 is $1800 and the 4661 is $1650.

The 4665 model has a shiney screen and a higher contrast ratio (15000:1). The 4661 has a matte screen and lower contrast ratio (10,000:1). Also the 4665 model is newer.

Just bought the 4661 at Circuit City. $1,499 minus 10% AAA coupon discount. Free delivery and set up. Can't beat the deal -- can't beat the picture. We're ecstatic, the picture is perfect, I did tweak it a little bit using settings from videophiles that know how to get the best out of the set...

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.

Make sure you look at the 4665 in person before buying. The picture is better than any other HDTV (imho), but the glass surface is HIGHLY reflective. If you have any lights in the area (or windows) it may be very distracting. I went with the 4661 at $1,600.

I got the lnt4671 for a steal a week before Christmas. I paid $1,145.00 with $54.00 shipping at Amazon's Warehouse Deals, and it is in perfect condition. The only difference was that it came in an Amazon brown box. It's $1,866.00 there today. I'm giddy over this TV - it's the best!

Go to http://www.samsung.com/global/experience/ices2008/index.jspThe new 6 and 7 series TV info is all there. At $2799 for the LNT5271 you're better off waiting for these IMO.

Also purchased a Used-Like New set from amazon warehouse which said it had "minor cosmetic damage to housing" What damage??? I inspected the TV and the only "cosmetic issues" I found was dust! It was definately worth the purchase from amazon warehouse considering the $300 savings. Haven't posted a review, but if you would like calibration settings for your LN46a650, I definately recommend going to the AVS Forums @ avsforums.com. They have a whole thread there where people post their different calibration settings!

I got the 46" 630 model and I absolutely LOVE it. Sharp incredible picture and there is hardly ANY glare whatsoever. You won't be able to say the same thing with the 650 or 750 model. With those models, you'll be frustrated whenever you want to watch TV during the daytime if there is any window in the room or at night if any inside lights are on, because those models' screens are so reflective and cause so much glare. The 630 model also comes on a swivel stand as well.

Guy's,I need a little advice. I know nothing about LCD TV's. I'm moving into a house and ran into a guy that wants to sell a Samsung 40" 4061. The TV has been siting in his bedroom and is hardly used as he watches a bigger set in the living room. The set looks and works great and he's asking $500 for it. I think the set is several years old. Does anyone out there have any advice on buying this?Anything to look for? Is this a good price on a set with prices coming down this Christmas?Thanks for any input,Rudy

I don't much about the LNS4096, but I have done a lot of research on the LNS4095 which is pretty much the same TV. The 4096 has a matte finish to the image were the 4061 has a gloss finish to the image. Everything else that is different between them you can find out by read the specs on Amazon. At first I liked the matte finish of the 4095/4096 but after seeing the 4061 in person I like it more. I am planing on buying this 4061 or the 4065 in a few days as soon as I have the funds.

Check out these links;http://www.hdtvsolutions.com/pdf/lns4695_final.pdfandhttp://www.hdtvsolutions.com/pdf/lns4696_final.pdfFrom what I could gather, both TV's are very similar. The 4696D has an integrated DCR tuner and cablecard (for use with cable) and 7000:1 contrast ratio vs the 4695D which only has the ATSC tuner and 6000:1 contrast ratio.

James Friel, nice price on the 46 inch 1080p Samsung. That sounds like a great deal.

M. Masloub, how in the world did you have them match at that price? I don't have a Fry's here in GA, but that would be a killer price. From my understanding I thought the 4066 was a Best Buy exclusive model and everyone else just had the the 4065. Did you have them price match a 4066 to a 4065?On the matter of 4066 versus 4065. I know for a fact that the 4066 has the glossy screen. Does the 4065 have a glossy screen also? or is it the dulled non-glossed screen? The demo at best buy of the 4066 with blu-ray'd "Open Season" the visuals are absolutely amazing, but when the screen goes dark.. wham there's my reflection.. So I was just curious. Anyone know? M.

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.

There's a promotion going for the LN46B750. Amazon is currently selling it for $1,999.99. Input coupon code, "SAMTV300" and it drops to $1,699.99. I'm pissed because yesterday I picked up an LN46A860 from Crutchfield for $1,579.99 with 1% FW cashback. It already shipped, bleh. Specs wise, seems like everything is the same except that the LN46B750 introduces 240Hz motion and Internet@TV (Yahoo!, YouTube, Flickr, etc.). Also, the LN46B750 has a charcoal ToC while the LN46A860 has a dark blue one. Moreover, I haven't come across a review that details the performance of the 240Hz motion.

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.

Amazon doesn't appear to have this TV anymore. $429 was when Amazon was selling it, now the price keeps fluctuating because other stores are selling it through Amazon. I am in the same boat as you and I am waiting to see if Amazon gets it back in stock so the price might be $429 again. Lets keep our fingers crossed...

the one i bought at Best Buy was a 530! is that a lesser or is it more? i paid $800 out the door. two weeks ago, i can still take it back and save $. BTW, i LOVE this TV. I feel like i could jump right in and join the parade!

M. Robel... Thanks for the reply. Seeing the tv in the store makes me agree with you. There are just so many posts out there on the internet that say it might be too big, and then you have the ones that give you such a huge range of size to distance ratio and it makes it difficult to decide when you are spending that much money. I appreciate your reply, and am definitely going to to with the 46".

Some numbers: the LN40B650 has gone up $450 from $990 to $1440. The LN46B650 has gone up $400 from $1380 to $1780. All the TV's used to be 29% to 35% off and now they're nearly all 15% off. Am I taking crazy pills? Have pirates captured all the ships from Asia?
