You must purchase the LG model you referenced. My husband and I have gone back and forth between Samsung and LG for more than several years. We own Samsung tv's and have been pleased. However, our recent purchase of the LG model you speak of has been our best purchase yet. The picture is stunning and the peripherals install easily. We also own several LG kitchen appliances that I love. No ugh's on the LG! Go for it.

This is the First time EVER I have replied to someone posting on these forums. Usually, I enjoy reading and gaining insight on the topic at hand. But, since I have first hand experience I will share what I think you should do. I believe you should order it online from Amazon.com and not from one of the retailers that you can purchase from through amazon, for instance, Datavision, J&R, or Beach Camera. The price difference from bestbuy and amazon.com (Directly Amazon) is too much to ignore. I just ordered the Samsung Lnt4065f for my room for 1499.98 and it arrived on time and with great service. Eagle called me the day before and scheduled a delivery window of two to three hours and brought the tv into my house. They set it up on my tv stand and stayed until the the Lcd Tv was on and in working order. On top of that I was lucky enough to see the price drop on my model twice in a week to 1459.99 then 1409.98. I was fortunate enough to read some of these forums and realize that we could get credited back the difference within thirty days. I called Amazon and they took care of the matter immediately. The first time crediting back $40 then the second time $50. (As a sidenote, since then the Tv I bought has gone back up to 1459.98 with shipping) The price is just insanely GREAT! This same tv that I bought for $1409.98 with white glove delivery (aka bringing the tv into your house and making sure it works so you can decide whether or not you are going to accept or refuse the tv) costs $150- $200 on other websites. If I calculated shipping as $150 then I would have basically paid $1259.98. The set I bought, Samsung Lnt4065f costs 1999.99 without tax at best buy, with tax equating to well over $2100! I would again buy from directly from amazon.com (the company and not another third party vendor using amazon as a storefront) for my future big ticket purchases. I hope this helped.

I purchased a 60 inch LG plasma tv to replace a 55 inch Samsung which failed after two years of fine service. My LG is slightly better than the Samsung and neither LG nor Samsung had the screen door effect. Based on my buying experience LG is my preference.

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.

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.

I think the 3D is great, I also have 55 Samsung and the projector blows it away as far as 3D goes. You will not be disappointed. I'm viewing on a 106 inch screen.

We have the 55 inch LG in 3d and we love it! Bought it in 2011 and it still works great. The 3D is nice to have but not too many good 3D movies out there. Buy it if you need a new flat screen.

Honestly, I'd like to add the 550 to this mix.Amazon has a page that list what each series adds, but it is very far from clear:Samsung LN52A650 52-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color (2008 Model)Anyone find a better link that clearly states what the 650 and 750 add?

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

I don't know how much help I can be but I'll give it a shot. I bought the Samsung because I own a Samsung LCD 46" bought in '08. I was quite happy with that TV so I stuck with the Samsung brand. I really think the 46" has a better picture than the 65" LED. Could be because of a consequential loss of picture clarity that comes with larger screen sizes. The UN65 has a dual core processor but if you're really into "smart," I recommend the quad core (more money of course). I subscribe to NFL game replays and they won't load well (and therefore can't view) with the dual core; I have to use my quad core computer. I think the UN has a really reasonable price, but you generally get what you pay for (as the old saying goes). Bottom line . . . I like the UN65 but, at the same time, I am a little disappointed. The only way you'll ever know is to look at them side-by-side and remember, showrooms do not have real-life broadcasts (in most instances) so when you get one home, your picture may not be a great as in the showroom. Hope this helps somewhat and good luck!

This site still lists the HL67A750 availoable if anyone is nterested. I agree that this TV has a magnificent picture.And you can get what you need for 3D relatively inexpensive> (see my last post)http://www.electrozone.com/product.aspx?pf_id=HL67A750

yeah dont get this tv my friends has it. the problem with it is fuzzy picture. i did a comparison with my own 1080p Lns-4095d samsung tv. Even though my tv is relatively older it didnt have fuzzy pic. Also note that both were using hdmi cable. however the LN-T5265F did not want to swtich to a 1080p resolution. everytime we did it got static. also note that all tests were done using a ps3. I recommned a Samsung however not this one.

I pre-ordered this model as opposed to the LG combo. The reason is because the Samsung upscales DVDs to 1080p, while the LG upscales them to only 1080i. While this certainly is not a deal breaker to most, it is to me. Also the LG is $200 more.

I actually bought the tv i really wanted but couldn't afford. I got the Samsung PN50C8000! It's a great tv. I got it for $1,000 bucks. I'm not sure about the Panasonic but my brother got the Samsung PN50C7000 and it's just like my c8000. You really can't tell the difference. There is definately no buzzing coming from my tv. You can't buy a tv based on what other people say. All tvs will have some that come off the assembly line that are defective. Just buy the tv you like. If it turns out to be a piece of junk start saving for the next one. If i were you i would go ahead and get the Samsung. It has a great picture.

I ordered mine from amazon on Sunday and it was delivered yesterday. I am returning the samsung pn50c7000. I guess I ordered it at the perfect time.

I am looking at both of these models as well. I bought a Samsung 42" LCD 2.5 years ago and it is now failing. (Estimated repair cost for 1 of the 3 problems it is now having is $850.) Not a good track record for my money. So, I will probably go with the Sony. Has anyone had any repair problems with the Sony LCD's?

I just checked on Amazon again. They are listing it for $1139 once you have put it in the "cart" and are at check-out. They are currently out of stock, but you can pre-order at this price. I purchased a Samsung PN50B650 couple of months ago and could not be happier with it. I paid $979.98 from V a n n s . c o m, but they no longer have it at that price. I want to buy another one for my parent's 50th wedding anniversary present; I sure hope the price comes down again by then.
