I bought this at Amazon for $998 on Thanksgiving day. It then went to $1038 and then to $1088 and now $1225. I don't think it will go back down again.

It doesn't have the matte screen. It uses the ultra clear panel rather than the matte screen. Picture looks great in day and night. The thing that bothers me about about the b630 and b650 is all that red touch of color and the little bubble on the bottom of screen. I would think it would be distracting when watching movies. I went with the b640 with light grey touch of color, ultra clear panel, added DLNA and I love it. The price was too good to pass.

It is at sears and if you live in ca at pacific sales who will match best price. I got mine for $845

I was able to pick this TV up before Thanksgiving for $1000 with a BDP-1600 Blue-ray player included. Could not pass it up. Was at a local chain, Video Only. So far, so good with this TV and player. Couldn't be happier.

Sears has it for $1089 plus BDP-1600 Blue-ray player included, which sales for $199.99. Sales ends on Dec.6th

The Best Buy deal was a joke it was in store only and all of them were gone in the whole country by Sunday Nov. 29th.They used to call this bait and switch but because this was a Best Buy exclusive and they were not getting any more in they get away with it.I tried to get this set (640)at Best Buy and another guy was sold a LN46B500 when he could not get it.I just walked away.At $1089 and the same dvd player for free it is cheaper to buy this at Amazon at 6.5 % tax.Also no annoying sevice plan sales pitch.

Best Buy has the better Samsung version for only $999. The Samsung LN46B640 has more features like DLNA and more appealing grey bezel over red. Still has the black friday price of $999.

well... someone reported getting $500 off the $1749 price which would make the tv 1249. Then co-incidentally, or not, the posts disappear the same day. I tried to get the tv for that price 43 minutes after their post and was unable to do so. Mistake by Amazon?

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.

Yeah, I noticed that too. I am still debating between this model and another. Let me know what you think about the TV. Thanks.

No idea. I talked with customer support and they said they didn't know when or if it would be back in stock.It would suck not getting the deal, but after the deal deadline, I'd still be happy with just the TV from another seller. I'd just keep checking back every day.

Thanks for the advice Walker! I called 6th ave and told them about the price difference. The lady was very nice and put me on hold for a couple mins. Came back and said that they will price match for me! Again, thanks for the advice.Chedfred,I had actually done quite a bit of research on this TV and the customer service was one of the supposed high points. I will def have to check into this. However, you can't beat this TV for the price so I hope that the service is at least usable.Leonard

TV is not worth more than $1500. This is just stores adjusting for profits. Once the sales dwindle, it will come down.

I am looking to buy this tv as well. Bestbuy has it for the same price. + tax of course. i hear alot about a buzz. that is why i am thinking best buy might be the way to go just in case of a return.

The lighning deal was 400., it's now listed at 548., but I'd imagine it may drop in the next month or so. The model came out in 2008, I believe. I've had it less than a week now, so far seems very good. I really haven't had a chance to fully explore it yet. Using it as a bedroom TV.

Thanks for the suggestion. I can afford to until after superbowl.BTW, I noticed that Amazon got rid of the MAP price for this TV today. The price is 1139 officially on the site. No adding to the cart business.

I definitely would especially since you will still be under the retail price. Did a lot of research on LGs warranty program and they seem to be on of the best. If it is a family TV it is going to be put to the test. For me, after 5 years, I will probably be ready for a new TV. (Best TV I have ever had btw.)

I have this TV and have been very pleased with it. However the question of worth is hard to address as the prices on items like these can change very quickly. We bought ours for movie viewing and the picture is great. Like most of these TVs the sound is...ok. I would recommend additional speakers etc. Also there is a large amount of picture adjustment available so you should play with the picture until you get it where you want it.Would I buy this TV again......you bet!Hope this helps.

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

I totally agree with you, anthg...I might wait until the end of February to buy this tv...it would be nice if it went under $600 on average.

I actually just bought the 8500 today, at my local Besy Buy. They had one brand new one left at the store (although they did say that they had about 30 left at the warehouse here in St. Loius). I was able to get it for $2950. The salesman said I basically paid their cost for the TV. Not sure really believe that... Anyhow, I must say, this is quite possibly the best picture I have ever seen on a TV. I was going to wait until the 3D 8000, however, after reading a bunch of reviews, and seeing the 3D 8000 at my local Ultimate Electronics, I decided to just go with the 8500.

They should honor whatever price you purchased it for during the pre-sell. They will not charge you until the unit ships. Latest rumors put this TV live this week....but....who knows. It will be worth the wait though.

Everyone just wait - the price of LCD's are dropping 3-4% each quarter, and in this economy, stores and online retailers are stuck with excess inventory - less than a month ago the price of this TV was $1494, and today it's over $110 more - that's absolutely ridiculous. At Best Buy in my area (near Philadelphia, PA) an open-box unit of this TV was selling for $1,609.99 - when a place like Best Buy (with their prices typically $300-$400 more than Amazon) comes close to Amazon prices for an open box unit, I believe that is an indication that supply is increasing at reasonable prices and the price both online and offline will likely be driven down in turn!
