Samsung LN55A950 @ Amazon Does anyone know if/when Samsung LN55A950 will be available via Amazon directly?

I highly doubt Amazon.com will be carrying this since it's the 9 series (premium line). For instance Best Buy doesn't even carry this; only their High-End store-in-a-store Magnolia does.

A best buy in my city has the LN55A950, and it's not a magnolia. I think in November they will start carrying it, since the Sony XBR8 is going to be released then. The XBR8 and 9 Series are both LED sets with 1,000,000:1+ CR. Amazon is going to sell the XBR8, so they should be selling the 9 also.

I would like to know this also. I don't think any information will be available unfortunately. I'd like to say that the original MSRP for LN55A950 was $4,199.00 and then it was increased to $4,799.00 I think. Either way many retailers selling this TV at a premium (way above MSRP). The price should drop a little because Sharp and Sony are both releasing LED sets either in October or November. I think the original $4,199.00 price was good for a TV like this, but it is definitely not worth $5,000.

What is with the $500 price increase? I'm hoping it drops once the LN52B750 comes out on 4/20/2009

Nope. Amazon has stepped up and I am returning this television. I am going to return the favor and buy a more expensive Samsung to replace it with Amazon.

Do not hesitate to buy from Amazon, and do not hesitate buying the 750 if it is in your reach. Amazon is great and 750 Samsung is the absolute berries. I don't think there could be a better marriage of electronics and seller.D.King

I purchased this TV from Amazon on Oct 31, since then the price has dropped significantly 3 times. Each time I have contacted Amazon customer service, and have been credited with the additional savings based on its current sale price. As of Friday, I have been refunded over $400.00 off my original sales price!The 2 pieces of advice I offer are; First purchase the TV, it it truly outstanding .. Second, contact Amazon for a sales refund the moment you notice a lower price to insure you receive the refund (if you wait a day, the price may increase again.)I hope this post helps, and I hope you enjoy your new Samsung LNT5271F 52" as much as I do!

I think everyone interested in this should contact Amazon. At the moment, the response is that they will forward the request to the VOD team. The more they hear the same request, the more they may consider it. My email: This is just a kind request to offer Video on Demand on the LG BD570 player via Netcast. I realize that it's offered offered on BD670, but seeing as the 570 is still being sold (I purchased it less than a year ago), I think you can gain more customers. I am planning on cancelling my Netflix account and am considering VOD for myself. My mother is using the BD570 and I want to order a VOD service for her as well. According to the LG responses to this request, it's not their decision, but Amazon's. Most consumers are posing the request to LG, but you can see from the discussions on Amazon that this is something wanted. Amazon's response: Hello, Thanks for suggesting that we provide Amazon Instant Video content for LG BD570 Blu-ray Player. Customer feedback like yours is very important in helping us continue to improve the experience of watching our digital videos. I appreciate your thoughts and I have forwarded your suggestion to the Instant Video team.

I will NEVER EVER BUY ANYTHING FROM Amazon. Buying the LG 43PJ550 was the worst experience I ever had. I STOPPED buying ANYTHING from Amazon. I received a TV with no remote or cords then they sent me another TV with no bolts to install. If you want my advice SEND A MESSAGE TO the BBB to NEVER buy from AMAZON

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?

I have called amazon 4 times now... nobody knows anything! It says all over the internet that the Samsung models HAVE been released, and it's the Acer ones that have been delayed... no one seems to know anything. I'm tired of checking my orders 20+ times a day, I'm ready for them to ship it! I mean I preordered it June 9th and everything... it should've been delivered to me tomorrow :[

As of today (7/17/13) LG customer support tells me, with a measure of vagueness, that they are "concluding a contract with Amazon to provide connectivity to more LG players, and a software update will be coming out mid-July." By my lights, it IS the middle of July. This sounds like BS to me. LG agent was vague about recognizing my particular unit (label on back reads "LG BD572 Aug 2010", clear as day). Amazon customer support agent, equipped with same HW information, attempted to talk me through the process, took me down the exact-same avenues I'd already explored, arrived at the identical impasse I'd arrived at: inability to get LG device to cough-up a five-digit "access code". Do any of these bozos know what they are talking about, re the HW/SW products they are taking our perfectly-good money for????

I think you will see more pop up on Amazon. Talk about funny. I just received a call from my tv salesperson (where I originally ordered the 630 and cancelled due to availability) and he said they were expecting an arrival of about 50 units of this model today and wondered if I had already ordered from Amazon! I told him sorry, I did but that might mean supply is opening up for one last push. Not sure where you are located, but in Michigan, Sears had the same tv in their weekend circular for $1099; no stock in our area but maybe in yours. Good luck

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

Samsung has the UN65c8000 scheduled to be released in July, usually available online a few weeks before they hit the stores.I think the 55 might be to small for 3D in a larger room, waiting for it too

The $999 is such a super deal, that Amazon very quickly runs out of the stock each time they offer it. I have seen twice this happening after only 24-36 hours of this TV being available. I guess Amazon does not have the certainty of whether and/or when it will receive new stock from Samsung, and does not want to have customers disatisfied due to backordering (a common cause of complaints and negative reviews in other vendors sites). The previous time I had exactly your experience. I saw the deal, thought about it for a few hours, and by then it was gone. This time, as soon as I saw it back in stock, I immediately pressed the "place your order" button. This was on 1/15/10. I am looking forward to receiving the TV in a few days.

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.

Samsung continues to push updates and new apps for the BD-C5500 1080p Blu-ray Disc Player, but nothing from Amazon. What a shame.

Samsung now says they dont. The Amazon text is directly from Samsung. No explanation why.

Apparently Samsung won't say when they are releasing this model. I'm getting very antsy!!!
