42LV5400 versus 42LV5500: What are the differences between these two t.v's?

The only difference is the addition of the Magic Motion remote with the 5500. All else should be identical.

The LN40B550 has a more reflective screen that produces a higher contrast ratio than the less reflective matte finish screen of the LN40B530. Also, the LN40B550 has red Touch of Color, USB 2.0 jpeg and an extra HDMI port over the LN40B530. ^As written on the us-appliance website. Not sure if the 540 has a glossy screen though. Thats actually important to me as I have a 50" Panasonic plasma with that anti-glare coating and it lacks the "pop" of glossy screens. Thats in a well lit room so I needed the anti-glare. I want a glossy screen for the bedroom though. :)

JEM - I spent some time searching for the same thing. While you can check out the link below as well and which shows product specifications listed by Sharp, in short the 42U is listed as having Multi-Pixel Technology where as the 43U does not. Aside from this everything else is exactly the same. http://www.sharpusa.com/files/tel_dow_AQUOS_Full_Line_0107.pdf

It has been a while since I had Directv, however l understand it uses HDMI output. If the set top box has optical audio out, simply connect to the optical in on the 5500. The 5500 has no "digital" input. If the set top has no optical out, you will need a Samsung TV with "Anynet" connectivity. From that an HDMI cable will run to the 5500, where audio and video will run both directions. Good luck.

The PL5500 has Bolt Codeable Technology which means you do not need different keys. It codes to your vehicle keys. The PL5400 does not have that technology and has a set of keys included.

According to Samsung's site, they both have 6000:1 contrast ratios. This, from the site, are the differences:"The LN-S4695D and LN-S4696D are identical in all respects except that the LN-S4696D:Is Digital Cable Ready (DCR) Has an IEEE1394 (Firewire) jack which lets you network together, exchange content between, and control up to 10 IEEE1394 equipped devices (for example, VCRs, DVD players, and Set-Top-Boxes).

If I look at the specs on that one, it appears that the difference is the Intel Quick Sync Video for fast video encodingand the Display Port for driving 4k displays. This might be a newer model. I would go with the NUC D54250WYK if you plan on getting a 4k tv.

Thanks for the reply. I went with the T260HD which was $50 less. When I get the TV I will post how I like it.

Go to http://www.samsung.com/global/experience/ices2008/index.jspThe new 6 and 7 series TV info is all there. At $2799 for the LNT5271 you're better off waiting for these IMO.

The V550 is the latest model and is replacing the V500...The V600 is an existing model, been out about a year...

Now shows L32F1120. Sounds like newer revs of the same TV. Wonder what the differences are. (?)

Sorry, this is not true. From Sharp's own web site, the 42U has 4 RCA L/R inputs and no S-Video input. The 43U has 2 RCA L/R inputs and 1 S-Video input:42U: http://www.sharpusa.com/products/ModelDetailedSpecs/0,1161,1782-,00.html43U: http://www.sharpusa.com/products/ModelDetailedSpecs/0,1161,1798-,00.html

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 have found two other differences - 6350 comes with quad stand and WiFi ready; 5500 - square stand and WiFi capable. Coming to difference in refresh rate, as long as you buy the TV less than 39" 60Hz is absolutely fine, 120 is just a hype for 32" version. 5500 is VFM. 6350 is bit of luxury. Hope that answers your question.

I think the main difference is LED lighting on the UN55 and its 3" bigger. I would opt to get the LED (less electricity, and the LED is supposed to last longer and eventually all TV's will use LED lights).
