Sears has this identical set on sale NOW for 1400.00 plus they throw in a Samsung BlueRay player which works fine on standard DVD's. Supposed to be offered through Jan. 30 but this set is soon to be discontinued. I bought one at Sears.

jz tried to put in a fake order and it indeed is a fraud. the website asks for your bank routing number to be wired to an overseas account.

There's nothing at all on resellerratings.com about them, which is your first red flag. Their HQ is outside the US, which is your second red flag. Their return policy is vague, so that's #3. For a purchase this big, there's no way I'd take a chance on that place.

I just did the same thing. I bought a TV from Amazon at the best price (this morning 01-18-09) and now Onecall has the best price (same day but evening time) The price only went down $30, but hey $30 is $30 and I thought I heard that amazon has price matching through 30 days. Help us!

I origionally bought the 40" two weeks ago for $1,059.99 from Nebraska Furnitutre Mart (NFM). I though this was an excelent price for a brand new TV of this quality and i was very impressed with the TV no complaints except i wished i had bought a larger model. Yesterday i noticed Best Buy had the 42" on sale for $999.99 and so i called up NFM and asked if i could return my 40" and get the 42". Not only did they let me exchange my model they credited my credit card to the tune of $107.00. NFM had the 42" on sale for only $959.99 which after tax gave me a savings of $107.00 and a larger set. I had played with the 40" picture settings and had arranged them to suit my viewing preference. So far i have not been able to set the 42" to my liking. And i'm hopeing i can make the correct adjustments. The TV does seem to be the correct size for my lounge and so i am very happy i made the up grade (especially as i am $107.00 better off). I do feel that the 40" had a better picture. This seems insane as it has the same technology but for some reason the 40" seemed to have a sharper picture. It may just be i can see the imperfections on the larger screen. Anyway getting back to your point, the only reason i can think for pricing this TV less than the 40" model is to reduce the stock on the 42" model. I'm guessing they sold a bunch of 40" models over Thanksgiving and felt they needed to reduce stock on the 42" model. We will probably see new technology replacing this model and so i guess its out with the old and in with the new.

Yes, well known Amazon SCAM. They did this with other HDTV sets earlier. The basic idea is that they will match all of the major stores BF ads online. People prefer to stay home and order from Amazon for the same price instead of waiting for hours at Best Buy or Walmart. However what they don't tell you is that they have two of each to sell and the deals are gone in an instant. Now people are forced to buy it at FULL PRICE. Notice that the TV sets are NOT OUT OF STOCK. They are IN STOCK, however you can only buy it for the FULL PRICE. You have lost a customer for life, you dirty scamming bastrds!!!!

There is a post on the Economist.com which suggests HDTV buyers to wait for 6 months as the price of 1080p will start falling and those who buy it now it said "will kick temselves in the back". I agree Economist is not the best place for Tech related advice. However, this is more to do with pricing than technology and therefore would take it seriously!

Looks like it just dropped again. $1,299 unbelievable price! I'm sure even that will look pretty expensive in a few months after the price drops again. It's inevitable. Not long before you can get a 52" Samsung 1080p for a cool grand.

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.

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.

Same thing happened to me two weeks ago with a different TV. Amazon would not give me the price I originally ordered it at. Bought it and it dropped back to the original price this week. Amazon price changing has gotten out of hand. Instead of feeling good about the purchase, I feel as though I was duped. It also took six days from the date of order to remove the hold from my amazon credit card. I ended up using my debit card.

I've had this TV since November 06 and I've watched the supplier change here on this site several times. Sometimes it is Amazon, sometimes someone else. I'd just be patient and I bet it will once again come back to being sold by Amazon.

I just bought mine from Sears for $879 and a 14mo. 0% finance offer. Had tried here and Best Buy but both were out of stock. Only concern I have now is whether to add the service agreement. I may make a bet that the 630 will last past the insurance coverage term anyway. Service insurance can be an expensive gamble. Knock on wood, I've NEVER had to use any that I bought in the past, plus Samsung does have a really good reliability record with their products. I'll be back with my first impressions of the 40b630 after Christmas. It's a gift for my wife!

Stay away from Abe. They are dishonest and will rip you off. Better to buy it from a legitimate retailer or better yet wait a little while and see if prices will drop more. Since the new panasonic plasmas were announced last week this line will get replaced very soon.

To all the people bad mouthing this 47" toshiba 1080p lcd tv: IT'S YOUR LOSS!I bought this tv for the $1199 & so far-no regret. I had read all the reviews & saw that most of the negatives were from people who had ordered previously through a 3rd party vendor & received a 42" instead of a 47". Also some complained about a 'green shift or push'--I have not seen it. Maybe this sale batch of tv's were improved. There are so many ways to adjust the color, but it looked good right out of the box so I only made minor adjustments. Glad I got it & the 52" Toshiba when they were on sale-'cause of the savings & the good quality.

I have been watching the price of this HDTV as well and I think that the practice of offering a coupon (which implies a discount) but then increasing the price by more than the value of the coupon is very misleading. It would seem from the comments above/below that other consumers feel the same way.

i"ve been planning on getting this one but was just waiting for another coupon. As far as my research goes, there is nothing wrong with this TV. The buzzing sound some people report doesn't seem to be a major issue or at least it's a fixable one. I think what's going on is Amazon screwed up something and enough people complained so they pulled it until they can get to the bottom of the matter. I tried contacting Amazon to ask if there was a chance it might be available before the coupon expires today, and all I got was the same vague "Item under review" reply. The way I see it, they should extend the coupon for this one till the TV is available again since it's because of their screw-up that we can't buy it.

One possibility is that supplies of this model are getting scarce. Samsung probably aren't manufacturing this 2009 model any longer, and it was the most highly rated 50 inch Samsung plasma TV (most sites rated it more highly than the PN50B860) so the demand for it may be greater than for their other models. I ordered it Sunday, deciding that Amazon would most likely lower its price if its competitors did, and Amazon will refund the difference between what you paid and a lower price if you are within 30 days of the price reduction.' I figured any post super bowl reduction would come within that time period. One possibility is that supplies of this model are getting scarce.

The price now is still set fairly high but keep in mind that amazon does like to set prices low for a day or two and then raise them on the fly. Once these sell out which they will the price will probably go up once this happens, it wont be the MSRP price but I beleive it will be a tad bit higher than what it is now. I just bought mine for $2849 I beleive it will be superior to the 55C7000 which had some back lighting issues (which everyone already knows about) so I would encourage those on the fence to go ahead and grab one, because this price is "reasonable" for this kinda Tv.
