OK, Got an update that the TV will be here on the 15th from Amazon, but tracking says the 13th. Tracking also says "whiteglove" which wasn't the terms when I bought the TV. I'll take it!

The delivery man for my 46D85U unpacked the tv and installed the stand for it. He also put it on my tv stand and tested it for picture and sound. I do recommend that you call ceva as they can be slow contcting you. The fatman

I ordered the LC46D85U on 12/26. Amazon estimated the 8th for delivery, CEVA Logistics (shipper) estimated the 6th for delivery, I was contacted on 1/2/09 to schedule a delivery and they delivered it today (1/5). Fantastic LCD so far!

Same here, but showing me a shipping date of 1/21 through 2/2. I here sometime Amazon beats there estimated date, but nothing so far to indicate that will happen at this time.

You are right about the 4665 price fluctuations. I got it from Electronics Express (through Amazon) for $1950 + shipping, problem is they are out of stock. It's been 3 1/2 weeks since my order. Normally I'd cancel and go through someone else, but I now can't find the tv in stock for any less than $2450! I'm not willing to pay an extra $400, so continue to wait for EE to get a new shipment in.

I would worry. I was supposed to have my TV delivered last Friday. Never came, no call from Pilot or anything. I call every day since then and just found out today that Pilot "does not have the TV", they lost it. They blamed Amazon, Amazon blames Pilot. Long story short I'm not getting a TV as Amazon no longer has any in stock to send me as a replacement. Very upset with both companies. I hope your experience turns out better.

Hello George. Talked to Sony customer service three times today. Gave them Model & Serial numbers of our Vega Triniton. They confirmed it was a projector TV that entitled people to a free tv with free shipping. Our TV was not a projection TV. Suppose yours was? Anyway, the TV is at the curb for the City to pick up on Wednesday. Sony and I are no longer going to do business, but that's OK. Thanks for all your help.

Yup, Vizio's website say it's in stock and they're discontinued all their older 55" line.Encouraging indeed, just for grins I put the 554 in Vizio's shopping cart there was a CA tax charge of $144 and of course Costco would have to add CA taxes also so I'm sticking with my Amazon purchase... no taxes and free shipping.Btw, I screwed up the title of this discussion threat "Vizio" of course not "Visio" my bad.

I ordered this TV on the 18th because there is not a better value out there right now. I called Vizio and they said Amazon ordered a bunch of these TVs last week but they would/could not tell me the official release date. I called Amazon and was told the same. All they would say is that I would get an e-mail as soon as it is released. I have read on-line that the original release month was May but the demand for the 553 was extremely high so they pushed it back to July.

The price has gone back up significantly. Just before xmas it was about $1899, and as soon as the shipping deadline passed for xmas it dropped to $1595 and stayed that way most of January. Now I see it selling for $1,999.99 When the price was $1595 the TV was being sold by Amazon, now it appears that the TV is being sold by Cruthfield which is why there is a drastic increase in price. If you really want this TV, I would wait until Amazon starts selling it again.

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

Thanks Payton for shedding light on the rating "games" being played here.If its such a bad TV why is it selling for regular price at crutchfield, Circuit City and Bestbuy etc. Its an Amazon special, it will be $1649 aqain any second now..As with anythign you buy your bound to get a loemon here and there. This green and banding I have personaly not experienced and I own 2 in this series...So for all the "Experts" rating there first LCD tv ever and giving this series a bad name..stop offering your Beginners opinion, on a product in which you have no clue on.

The 55 has been out for weeks. I guess they ran out of initial stock. I love the tv. Great value for the $$.

I've had no issues with my tv ordered from Amazon. Maybe their was some mishandling during shipping?

My big issue is all the negative discussion on the 750 "Halo" - light leak around the edges.Is this gone on the 850/860? The 850 is slightly cheaper at AZ, only because shippingis free. If the 750 really is a fine tv and the halo is all over statement, then thebetter sound actually helps me. Appreciate suggestions.

Yes, I received my TV on 04-17 from the carrier,Pilot. There was a small crack on the edge of up-left corner of the screen right out of box. I refused to sign off the package and called Amazon right away for a replacement. Still waiting for this TV to be back in stock and delivered to me.....

FYI-Amazon has dropped the return restrictions on 27" TVs. All TV's now fall under their general return policies. I spent 20 minutes on the phone with them yesterday to make sure that was the case because I saw reviews with this frustration but couldn't find anything about it on their returns policy. I have printed out all the applicable return policy pages to I have those just in case I need them.

Dan, my response is probably too late to do you any good since it has been a month since your original post but if it doesn't help you, maybe it will help someone else. I ordered my 58" 800U on the evening of 12/29. It was shipped out of Indianapolis Ind on 12/30. CEVA called on 1/2 to set up delivery on or after 1/6. Checked tracking and the TV arrived in Dayton Ohio on 1/5 (near where I live). All in all, not too bad. The original est delivery date at purcahse was 1/9. Amazon and CEVA did better on delivery time than I expected. Dave

I purchased the same tv from this vendor yesterday too! I have asked for a tracking number but have not received it yet. I am also skeptical at this point. Hoping someone from Amazon monitors this site and can respond and check into this situation.
