What are the major differences between the RP55 and RP50? (I currently have the RP50. Worth "upgrading"?)

This just has a few updated effects, but essentially the same features. I'd recommend the RP360 if you want an upgrade. -Andy

I was wondering the same thing so did some digging and found this in one of the reviews "The main difference of the MP640 over the MP560 is a larger 3" LCD, Ethernet connection and print speed."

Hi. Yes to the a550. I'm not sure what you are asking in the second part of the question.

There is not much of a difference between these two models. They both have 120 CMR and are both Smart TV's. The only major difference is the functionality in the Smart TV. The 5500 has 5 panels to scroll through and the 5300 has 3. Not a great selling point. You can still do the same things on both TV's. Its just that you have more spaces on screen to put more apps on the Smart TV function.The 5300 TV was released in 2012 and the 5500 was released in 2013. I hope this answers what you need.

I am looking at the same comparison because of Costco.I believe the 550 has SRS (Audio) and the 540 does not. I think this is a big enough difference for $50 and a newer model. However I am sure there are a few other differences.SRS TruSurround HD creates an immersive, feature-rich surround sound experience from two speakers, complete with rich bass, high frequency detail and clear dialog.

I had a 240 and the upgrade wasn't amazing straight out of the box - if you're lucky and get one that you can unlock, then you're obviously in good shape. Otherwise you won't notice much improvement until you overclock it a bit - luckily there you have a lot of guides on the Internet specifically for the Phenom X2 550. Mine's running comfortably at 3.72 GHz, (1.45v, x15.5 multiplier, CPU up from 200 to 240) - it's on all the time because it's a work/media server, and restarts are only necessary when I'm installing updates (or it crashes playing Far Cry 3). For the price, it was a good stopgap upgrade, but I'm still looking to move to Intel at the middle-to-end of the year.

The PRS-300 and the PRS-600 are both newer models. The 505 preceded the 700. The PRS-700 was originally intended as a successor for the PRS-505 (it's faster - and has that input capability that a touchscreen gives you). The PRS-505 in turn was the replacement for the PRS-500. However, the 700 (despite being in many ways quite similar to the 505) had certain specific flaws (and a couple of benefits). It, unlike the 505, has a touchscreen, and it also has a light embedded underneath the touchscreen and above the eInk screen. On the plus side that means you can read in darker places without carting a little light around with you, but on the down side it and the touchscreen combined made for a screen that wasn't quite as readable as the 505. In short, yes, basically the 700 has been replaced by the PRS-600, which is pretty similar with slightly better readability, I think also a dictionary, but no embedded light. The PRS-300 is a smaller, cheaper, but otherwise very familiar touchscreen-less PRS-505ish device, except that it contains no expansion slots, and is therefore not terribly useful if you're the sort of person who wants to carry the entire Project Gutenberg in your pocket ;) Speaking for myself I'm pretty happy with both the PRS-700 and the PRS-600 models, despite the somewhat diminished readability - I have never owned a 505 so can't comment except to say that I've seen the screens on them and they are astonishingly clear and paper-like. I would probably buy a PRS-300 if I had the cash and it had a memory expansion slot! Hope that helps...

Based on the quality of your Samsung 550, I'd wait until reviews are out, also I'd want to look at it in person first to see how the screen looks and the keyboard feels. It's certainly worth considering though. BKarno's answer is worth keeping handy to revisit later. He strikes me as very accurate and honest.

Okay, then what is the difference between the MX200 and the M550? Both have write speeds in the 500+.

Previous reviewers have answered the technical questions. I own the E4 and love it. I'm buying the E5 as a Christmas gift, and as it's pretty much at the same price point, I would suggest going with it over the E4 at this point. But the difference between the two is not so great that I would go rushing to upgrade from the E4 to the E5.

I just purchased a 550 from Circuit City last week. They are one of the few stores that puts a 550 650 750 side by side. The audio on all 3 was the same, average at best. This is what I found with almost all LCD HDTV with small speakers. I bought the 550 because my eyes could see very little difference if any between the 3. Most difference was the options. The Samsung did have the best picture.

I have the 55 200 vr and the 70 300 vr. I like them both but if I had to get rid of one it would be the 55 200. There is no comparison in the build quality,, you get what you pay for. The 70 300 is heavy but I'm not even close to a pro photog and don't wag one around for long periods of time.

It has been a while since your post. What are your thoughts on the 506? Thanks in advance.

It looks like the A550 is the best compromise for you since all you get in the 650 are extras you're not interested in. Go for it.

The A630 has 40000 dynamic resolution and the A550 has 30000 dynamic resolution. The higher resolution supposedly gives it better PQ but I don't know how they compare watching them side by side. Other then the 120Hz I don't know what other differences they have. If you go to Samsung.com you can pull them both up and compare them.

The A5+ is a newer model with certain improvements over the older and now discontinued A5. It's probably "better" because of the improvements, so if the price difference is not a factor to you, definitely go with it. Otherwise, the A5 is still very good.
