NEED HELP - Samsung LNT4071F or LNT4069F... What's the differences and which is the best? Both has the 120hz, 1080p, 40"...?
395135
There's only two differences that I have found after research and they are related.69F 20000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, matte screen71F 25000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, shiny screen
395136
According to Cnet, another difference is the 69 does not have side connections and the 71 does. My guess is that this is only an issue for those looking to flush mount the tv on their wall. I am in the market for a bedroom television and I was set on buying the LNT4071, but since I wont be flush mounting, I prefer a matte screen, and I do not think contrast difference will be noticable, I think I'm going to pick up the 4069 instead and save some cash.

I was reading, and antoher thing, its that 69 has 1.3 HDMI, which 71 seems doesnt have it. I checked Samsung site, and if you do a comparisson, says the same: 69 with 1.3HDMI, while 71 its not. BUT, if any one has the 71 please confirm this with the factory books that came with the TV.

I am in the market, and I would love to buy the 65 inch Samsung, and yet, I still haven't heard a complete, positive and full compliment without any negatives, it is a lot of money to spend without having a sure guarantee, everytime I read a good comment, there's always a negative one next to it, I'll be damned if I know which TV to buy. Do the 65 inch Sony TVs have the same problems too? Is there a TV out there that is better than the Samsung?

In terms of picture quality, I'd rate the 1080p models from these manufacturers in this order: Panasonic TC-LZ800, Sony KDL-37XBR6, Samsung LN-37A550, Sharp (which you didn't mention, and which I own) LC-37D64U, and LG last. But at a viewing distance of 10-15 feet, you should really be looking at a 40-42" screen, where there are some excellent 120Hz sets. Note that my typical viewing distance is 7-8 feet away.

I purchased a Sony 40" 1080p 60hz & after a month returned it. Horrible picture.I purchased the 40A550 Samsung 1080p 60hz & was better but, the picture looked faded.I returned it & ordered the 40A650 through Amazon & what an incredible unit. The best picture of any TV that I have found. This is an amazing television. Absolutely has an amazing picture regardless of what you are watching. Amazon's "white glove" delivery is great, too. They make an appointment to deliver, un-box the unit & make sure there is no damage & the unit works before they leave.We are totally happy with the 40A650 Samsung. A huge difference between the 550 & 650 units due to going from 60hz to 120hz.Hope my experience helps. I purchased a Sony 40" 1080p 60hz & after a month returned it.

Not to hijack your thread but I'm kind of in the same situation. I want to get a TV for Bluray but am not sure to wait or buy now.Also, is the extra 150$ worth it from the 61 to 65 model? The only difference I can see is the 5,000 point difference in Contrast Ratio, is that worth the extra money?Thanks.

I recently got a LN40C650 and researched it up and down, and honestly I never heard of any power supply issues. The most recent edition of Consumer Reports puts Samsung LCDs near the top for reliability, picture quality and value. I don't think you should base your buying decision on that power supply issue. (just my opinion)

Thanks for the reply. I went with the T260HD which was $50 less. When I get the TV I will post how I like it.

I want to but the LN46A630 and want to ensure that I get the correct HDMI cable that will support 120 HZ, etc. So what exact product should I get? When folks reply, please give the model # so I know what to get. Thanks!

I own the Panasonic, so obviously I'm biased. Worth noting that the 54" V10 has just been crowned the King of HDTVs...Buy the Panny. If nothing else, their customer service is WORLDS better than Samsung.

The refresh rate is actually (probably, hard to get a definitive answer) 120hz; Samsung uses a technology they call "clear motion" to provide what they consider the equivalent of a 240hz refresh rate. Some other manufacturers do likewise (using either the same or different technology) to claim a larger refresh rate; for example LG calls theirs "TruMotion". The technology is beyond me, but if you'd like more details do a search for "refresh rate", or ask (in a search engine) a question like "what is Clear Motion refresh rate". I know CNET.com does a fairly detailed explanation. Both they and Consumer Reports cautions on taking these claims at face value as in their reviews they say they commonly see some tv's w/lower claimed refresh rates having a better pic (less fast action blur) than other tv's w/higher claimed refresh rates. It sucks, but we're stuck with this goofy arrangement and at the mercy of the manufacturers claims.

I am having the same problem. I purchased a 40" LCD LED HD Samsung 120Hz 1080p and when I turn my TV on it shows 60Hz 1080i. And I still don't understand what is wrong. How can I fix it.

Perhaps you have already made your decision? What did you choose? This something I am also mulling over. Both seem to be very good tvs and both seem to have issues (buzzing, fading black levels, etc). When a decisding between 2 good choices is difficult, perhaps both either option is a good one? Price is important and the samsung is much less expensive. Save the money for the next hi tech device you need to replace?

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.

I'm not sure what you're asking. I have purchased 2 Samsung LED, 1080p televisions and am very happy with both. I purchased my 55" locally (60mhz) locally and my 50" (120mhz) through Amazon. I had my 55" mounted to my wall and I purchased my wall-mount kit through Amazon and did far better on price than I could locally. Both tv's are working beautifully and, since I needed no mounting for the tv through Amazon, set-up was a breeze. My tv came in perfect condition and remains so. The price was the very best available at the time I bought it. It beat all local store's prices and arrived really fast. Zero problems. Hope this helps. I'm not sure what you're asking.

I've been researching tv's for several months and have decided on the LN46A750. The price at Amazon is unbelievable. I'm going to order one next month. Has anyone purchased the extended warranty? I hear Samsung tv's are excellent quality and wonder if I really need a warranty.

Hey I know you guys posted a couple of weeks ago, but if it helps, I have owned both the 4065 and the new LN46A650. I can tell you that the picture quality on the new series is literally leaps and bounds above the older models. I personally think that the 650 series is one of the, if not the best available lcd tv on the market today. If you do not want to spend the extra money on the new series, the 4065 is much better than the 4061, has a better processor, higher contrast ratio, brighter screen for better color saturation, etc.

thanks everyone! I am going with the 120hz 100,000 to 1 ratio 46" 1080p Samsung LCD. its $1199 on Amazon with 2 yr same as cash. Best buy is $1309 plus tax with 3 yr same as cash.I am not going with plasma because I have windows in livingroom that will affect glare.
