1353448
Well, right now, the 85U is $900 and the 80U is $975!!!Better go with the 85U!

Agreed. I have been looking at the 85U for about 2 weeks and this is the lowest price I have seen. Thank you Amazon. Unbelievable that the 85U is cheaper than the lesser model (80U). Plus, free shipping! I was looking at other New York outlets and they raised their prices over the past few days. Thanks again Amazon!

There was few days' time when the price of 85u on amazon was down to 899/-.. Lucky enough to place an order during that time!!

I've had my 52" 650 since memorial dday weekend...and coming from the video industry, it's the best screen around. For thos of you comparing the 650 vs 750 vs 850; check the technical details even at a store. I walked into the CC & BB locally and yes they were all set up side by side; but since the local store wanted to sell more 850s, it was "tuned" better. The default settings have changed including the brightness level; so when you are comparing TV screens; make sure that the identical output; down to the connection is being used and that both units are identically tuned, i.e. brightness, contrast, presets...99% of the time you will find them not to be. The best tuned TV this week will not be the one next week!

The one I bought had a sound problem that the tech couldn't solve. I was shipped a refurbished one that developed the SAME EXACT sound problem. Phillips replaced it with a brand new one, but told me this model was discontinued, so they replaced it with a 46". I've owned several Philips TVs and they have been reliable in the past. My experience with this one was not so good, and my understanding is they are no longer made. If this is a used one you're looking at, be advised that my audio issue was a "come and go" type, and I would not really recommend this particular model.

Samsung UN46C8000 46-Inch 1080p 3D 240 Hz LED HDTV There are several differences: the UN46C weighs 42.3 lbs while the UN46D weighs 27.3 lbs. The dimensions are different: the C is 1.1"deep and 42.9 X 28.5 while the D is 1.2"deep and 41 X 23.6. The D comes with 2 sets of rechargeable glasses and is wireless internet ready out of the box whereas the C requires an accessory called a LinkStick to be purchased. The D has a QWERTY keyboard remote with a display that shows whatever you type (hence you do not have to keep looking up at the screen (which is required with the C. Finally, the D is edgeless while the C has a framework that doesn't look as smart and hi tech and requires a cabinet to be wider and taller -- to house the TV. I own a 55" C 8000, and now need to replace the master bedroom 45" LCD. I am going to purchase the D because some reviewers say the picture is better. The quality of the C is absolutely superb, so if the D is better -- that is icing on the cake.

The single pane glass was the reason why I chose the 860 model. To me it takes away from the picture and the viewing experience. Maybe that is not the case for all double pane tv"s. I do not know if the c8000 is single glass, but I have heard that it is a great tv. You are correct about LCD LED, the price is not justifiable. People have complained about burn in issues of plasma. I have had four plasma tv's and I have not had any issue with burn in. There may be some slight image retention, but that goes away. That is a good idea to go to bestbuy and test the tv. Will you buy online or at store. The single pane glass was the reason why I chose the 860 model. To me it takes away from the picture and the viewing experience.

cannot compare as i dont know. All i can say is that the TV i have is fantastic, the 3D is amazing, colors amazing, vibrant white, black is intense. In my opinion the smart TV side is not so good as it freezes frequently. Screen reproduction is amazing... Its very shiny, like Glass so this has to be in a Dark room, very little light as reflections are an issue. Our living room has window shutters therfore its not an issue...

G. Josefowicz,42.5 is the official width of the TV. I'll look into the description and see about making sure it's accurate. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. --Mr. S

I have a 32 in Element hdtv, lcd. Picture is good. I bought the 50 in for our larger living room and the quality is way better than our 32. clarity is sharp, three windows in the room do not effect glare. Great tv...

The only other motion that I can compare this particular television to is the LG 240hz motion and I think the LG does a much better job than this particular Toshiba. I love this television for the price I paid. I spent under $900 for this television and at this point in time I couldn't see spending anymore than I spent on this particular television.

Hi! I have been reading up on both tv's and it looks like the panasonic V10 is by far the best of the both. I just purchased the sammy b860 and also trying to find a good deal with the panny V10 (since it cost more). Both tv's can display the 24p at 96hz(24hzx4=96hz), so since the panny G10 can only do the 24p at 48hz(ficker problem). That's why tto me the sammy B860 is bump to second best, but this sammy has a buzzing sound if you live high above sea level. Remember this is just my opinion. hope this help someone......:)

Most of the specs are the same but the 860 has a few advancements. The 860 is the top of the line very thin TV. The 650 has the red touch of color and the 860 has grey. The 860 has a more advanced anti-reflective coating, although I've never read a review that mentioned it as visibly better. 860 has 15x2 watts and a subwoofer versus 10x2 watts on the 650. Finally, the 860 has picture in picture and the 650 does not. I think that does it.

The 850/860 models are about 8 pounds lighter (68 vs. 76 lbs.) On the other hand, 850/860 sound is worse as they had to squeeze smaller speakers into the thinner enclosure. The 860 has 2 USB ports, all other models only have one. The 18-month warranty of the 860 is worth a few bucks for 6 months of extra coverage. The thinner size is unlikely to have a measurable impact on installation because the cable jacks are still in the middle/back of the television so you may have to molest your wall for both a 750 and 850 wall-mount installation.

I didn't pay $300 more for the 850 vs. the 750, i paid about $200 more. And again, if you can take advantage of the slim-ness, its well worth it - we think we can get rid of almost our entire home entertainment center with the 850. These TVs last 20+ years (hopefully) and we might move in the next 3 years, so I figured the flattest TV could not only be used right away to reclaim floorspace in our living room, but also if we move to a new house where e.g. the TV goes over the fireplace, we're in much better shape with the 850. Also, there is a certain "cool factor" of the 850 that cannot be denied - the TV is slim, and it's VERY light (59 lbs vs 66-70 for the other 2), and the border is the tiniest on the 6,7,8 series so it has by far the most versatile and coolest dimensions in every respect. There is also no light leakage through the red borders on the 850/860 models. I read somewhere that the 8-series has a different backlighting system which is why the TV is so much thinner than the 750, but I think the panel (LCD shutters) is the same. If you were looking at TVs in the store, make sure to RESET ALL the TVs before looking at them, because the seller will always tune the most expensive TVs to look best in order to increase sales and profits.

@ R. Barg. I directly compared the ZT with the F8500. The F8500's extra brightness was readily apparent in the high ambient light room I saw both sets set up in but I doubt you'd miss any brightness if you had the ZT or VT without a side by side direct comparison with the 8500. My ZT is plenty bright for my needs and during the day I have a bright living room in which its set up. In the very bright environment of the dealer's shop the ZT and VT Panasonics did look a little dimmer than the F8500 when they were all set to equal picture modes but the difference wasn't striking. The F8500 can be calibrated to be a lot brighter though if that's what someone is looking for. For me it was the ZT all the way. The VT60 and F8500 both looked really great no doubt about that and really they're all at the top performance wise but I wanted "the best" (to what I can afford) and from everything I've read, everything I saw when I saw them all in the same room and what I have experienced so far since purchasing the ZT, I made the right choice based on my preferences and how I watch TV. This TV displays gorgeous images, the better the source, the greater the picture quality. As for whites, they look truly white to my eyes on my ZT in all lighting environments, day/night. In the shop the whites did look "whiter" on the F8500 and the LCDs in the room but outside the direct comparison of that showroom, my ZT's white look brilliant. Hope that helps.

I own the Panasonic, so obviously I'm biased. Worth noting that the 54" V10 has just been crowned the King of HDTVs...Buy the Panny. If nothing else, their customer service is WORLDS better than Samsung.

Not familiar w/ the 28" class only the 32". If the issues i'm having are any indication i would avoid ALL Element tv's. Sure they're cheap but you're far better off w/ s/thing a bit pricier.
