600 Bucks? WOW! At that price, it's time to put the 42LD450 in the ring with the Samsung LN 40C630. Personally, I'd have little hesitation landing on the Samsung for the extra 50 bucks. I hear the Samsung is $50 better than our LG, but not $100+ better.

No clue. I bought the 46" version and it is 60Hz only. The 55" apparently is 120Hz, at least according to the specs. I doubt the refresh rate is selectable

Yesterday, July 23, Frys in Houston has the LG47LW5600 again for $799.00, down from $999.00. But the 55-inch went from $1,199 up to $1,449.00. Probably being set up to go on sale this Sunday for $350.00 off at $1,099.00.

5 vs. 4 wavelength backlight means better color reproduction.120hz refresh rate means less judder/smoother motion on fast moving action scenes.15,000 vs. 10,000 Dynamic contrast ratio means deeper blacks (ie, see more picture detail in dark areas of image).I think those are the main differences and justify the higher selling price (but perhaps not to the tune of $1,000-$2,000....$500 difference would be more realistic)

One is 120hz and the other is 240hz...this is the refresh rate..in other words the higher the number the faster. If a car speeds by or someone turns their head quickly there may or may not be a "ghost". I have the 6100 with 120hz and it's perfect. Juat make sure to get a high speed HDMI cable. the cable Amazon recommends is fine. Very happy with the tv.

There's two systems 4702 or 4712. 2.2Ghz vs 2.3Ghz. The former is $1774 and latter is $2199.$1774 is great price. Price has probably been lowered to clear inventory. It's possible there may be hardware issues with 4702 that we're fixed in 4712 ( just speculation on my part ). $1774 is really good price. I paid $2199 for 4712.

It is 60 hz but many Samsungs including this one have a internal upgrade making the TV have 120 HZ ability.

120Hz is a different picture, some like it, some don't. You can always turn it off though. Contrast, however, EVERYONE likes better contrast. Go with the 55" Samsung. I own a 5271F Samsung and I love it. I am waiting for Samsung to pump out a 60 incher before I upgrade.

Again, buyer beware and do your research. This issue has confused a lot of people who expected the XBR series to continue with this feature into the next model year. This is also why the xbr4 costs generally more than the xbr6 in the same size. (For those interested in 120hz, be darned sure to read the fine print if you are looking at LG's Scarlets: 120hz is NOT available in all size models.) Amazon should set a high standard for website shopping and correct the info in their Sony chart. That kind of reliability and integrity would attract more customers who do not want to spend hours bouncing from site to site trying to confirm info at less reliable sites.

This TV has a 60Hz refresh rate. I compared this Samsung LN32B550 with the LG model you mention and I found both are good. However, the colors were more vibrant in the Samsung and there was a 'pop' in the colors. The LG was a little more subdued and not as vivid. Also, I don't recall if the LG swivels or not like the Samsung. If you need more dynamic colors, a punch in the Picture quality, go with the samsung. For me, the 120Hz did nothing to convince me its better than the 60Hz. I really could not tell any difference. People swear there is one, but I cannot tell. They had a demo signal going to all TV's with the 120Hz benefits and you cannot even tell any difference there. Theoretically, the 120Hz should be more cleaner/sharper in fast moving images. But fast moving images are well....fast so you only see them for split seconds. Not much of a difference then since how much can you absorb in that split second ? Video gaming should benefit but again, I don't see any significant improvement here. The 2ms response time is useful for video gaming as it will eliminate ghosting ( i.e. trailing images ) but Samsung's 6ms is good enough. Ideally, anything less than 15-20ms and you're good for video gaming from my experience with LCD refresh rates. Go to your local Best Buy and check it out first. Buy from Amazon if the price is lower, else buy from BestBuy with warranty and all. As is, BB now has no restocking fee when you return a product.

Just from looking quickly, I think it is simply that this tv is 240MHZ where mine is 120 if I remember correctly. The only other thing might be that it is a newer model. Unsure of that though. Other than that they look very similar and I have been extremely happy with my television. Some things to work through, but that is the joy of technology and newer technology. The smart features have been very cool and great for entertainment.

I believe (one of) reason(s) the TN models is cheaper is because it's only 30hz, which will be horrible for gaming!

Thanks. Sadly Amazon gets finer details wrong some of the time. I posted this same question on the gold box page and was directed to www.sonystyle.com. The 504 TV is a 720p just like the L5000. It costs less everywhere you can find it listed. The contrast ratio is listed as 8,000:1 as compared to 13,000:1 for the L5000. Also, the MSRP for the 504 is $399... so I fail to see how it is a "doorbuster" at $379. The 32L5000's MSRP is $449. It was on sale less than a month ago for $399. Value wise $50 off is $50 off. I'm just going to wait for the 32L5000 to be $399 again.

It's 240Hz, you can verify this on LG website, http://www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-55LA9650-led-tv

The TV's are very similar. The 2 things that make the M3D550KD slightly better is the fact that it is 240Hz instead of 120Hz. I don't know that that feature is very noticable. Both are very thin and have built in WiFi N and are loaded with apps. The M3D550KD is this year's model, the M3D550SL is last years model.
