Why is this $300 more than the same device on the Samsung site?

I see it as 1799 on Samsung's site. Are you sure you're looking at the correct model? There is one with an i5/4gb RAM/128gb SSD - this one is an i7/8gb RAM/256gb SSD

Because you need to untick the box that asks if you want the extended warranty. Lol.

The Samsung site offers it at various prices, depending on how you look for it. Right now it's $200 less if you go to their site and search for "ativ book 9 plus" but other similar searches will get you more expensive versions. I think the difference is the operating system, and the cheaper results on the Samsung site offer standard Windows 8.1 whereas the expensive results get you Windows 8.1 pro. It looks to me like the one here at Amazon is for the standard version of Windows 8.1.

Hey there! I'm in the same predicament also? I just purchased the 32m3000 series for the "cheap" price of $649 when it was available at other non competitor retailers for $550-575. (I wanted the 4 year protection plan the cheaper guys didn't offer). It's a gift for father so it's not opened yet. The only thing the store assistant said was that one model's from 2007 and the other is 2008. He didn't want to lie to me about tech knowledge he didn't know about.

Be careful buying the international version. Mine just died today and I'm finding out that it is not covered under any Samsung warranty, at least not in the U.S. Ask the seller what type of warranty it has. Better yet call Samsung first. $700 down the drain!

Call Samsung, they were very helpful. Unfortunately because the device was not "original" as stated in the description, I ended up returning mine. (Serial number on bottom of unit didn't match any numbers in the Samsung database, I wrote about this in my review). Sorry.

I honestly don't know, sorry. Typically Samsung devices are similar but sometimes they are just different enough that what works for one will not work for another. I would try finding one in a store first, comparing them visually before buying one for your phone. Wish I could be of more help.

Actually, it would only be $41 less than MSRP as this is the 16GB tablet which is selling for $380. Note the 16GB in the Technical Details and the -A1 on the part number. Include shipping and the margin is down to about $30. Of course that is still $50 cheaper than the 32GB version with dock.

This isn't Google's product, it's Samsung's.That said, the price is within range of other Chromebooks.

Last I checked this phone is being discontinued, so the higher dollar units are a gauge due to the limited numbers available. Non smart phones are becoming rare. Good Luck! I wore out two of these before moving to the Samsung Rugby Pro. I needed more phone number space and have utilized some of the smart phone utilities. Camera is considerably better etc. etc. etc.....

I thought the Galaxy seemed smoother, sturdier, and a bit nicer looking. I've always had good experiences with Samsung products. When we bought the Galaxy it was <$300 at Costco.

The one Amazon sold me was a Samsung panel going by the code used in the serial number. Samsung for some reason uses more than one manufacturer to build their panels. Perhaps it is to produce less expensive versions of this model for people who live in poorer countries. From what I understand from reading the official HU8550 forum on AVSForum, there are other dealers who are undercutting retailers like Amazon and Best Buy selling the cheaper non-Samsung panel versions, but Amazon was not one of them. This is likely why Amazon does not price match some electronics stores as what they sell is not a direct match in quality to Amazon's products despite using the same model name to describe the TV.

I haven't looked into getting one but I have used the Samsung site. They have a lot of questions and answers. Hope this helps.

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.

I purchased the Samsung LN52A860S2F a couple of days ago and I was told by the merchant that these tv has a better picture quality then its predacessor, but I can't find that fact anywhere. I wonder if I got tricked in to paying $200 bucks more for nothing.

I wanted to thank you for your question, yes it is listed for $40 but unfortunately samsung.com does not have it available for purchase it is just listed and their price is close to 40 dollars but it is not available the only place you can buy this adapter with confidence is at amazon.com as far as I know, having this tablets I can tell you though I truly do not know how I use this tablet without this adapter it is great for watching movies and even for business, it works great for presentations. you are a valued customer and I appreciate your question and I hope I was able to answer it for you. Thank you C.P.A

Hey Guys, I feel the same way. I've been watching the price (LN52A650) since April when it debuted and have noticed the price flucuations starting just a few months ago. I don't get it. You mention the popularity of the new Samsung line. I think it has really gained momentum the last month or two. A lot of the retailers, (e.g. Sears, BB, Circuit City, etc.) have been pushing the whole Samsung line in their advertisments. I'm just hoping the price resumes its price decline come early fall before the start of the X-mas shopping season. Just acquired my upgraded NAD A/V receiver and TV console for the Samsung, just need the TV now. Hey Guys, I feel the same way.

None of the packing was labeled Samsung so probably not authentic Samsung part ... but it fit like a glove and works like a charm. So, $200 to send phone to Samsung for a new display or $25 for new glass. No brainer if you're at all handy and have a little patience. Really, what have you got to lose. If it doesn't work send the phone to Samsung for a display replacement and you're only out $25.

This was posted a couple days ago: http://www.dealerscope.com/story/story.bsp?sid=83287&var;=story. The gist it that Samsung has stated that they are still on schedule of releasing this player in time for Christmas. Also, they have reduced the MSRP to 799 which means that at some point Amazon should lower its price to somewhere in the 600 range--(Just a guess about what Amazon will do). So this is good news indeed!
