I purchased a refurbished one in December for about $1,200 including the shipping. When the tv arrived the power cord was not in the box. Samsung did send another one in about two weeks. Then when I got it hooked up the tv made a popping sound. The good thing is it was under warranty and it was fixed by replacing the main board. There were no cosmetic blemishes on the unit when we received it. If you don't mind having couple of possible problems, it will save some money. Other than that it is a great tv. Hope this helps with your decision.

I found mine for $1300 including shipping, took 3 weeks of watching and then one saturday morning (19 Jan 08) a brand new one showed up there for $1245... It was pretty scarey because 2 hours later the order was showing a shipping date of mid March, called cs (It's Amazons normal customer service) and they said the one i went after was sold.... a couple of days later they showed a new ship date of 28 Jan. It arrived on time and has been perfect ever since....

I had received a email from Amazon Tuesday 8/23/11 advertising this TV for $598.00 at a whooping $11.00 savings, so I put it in my cart to purchase later this week. I was shocked to see today that the price jumped up this high (738.95) in one day! I did check with Sam's Club and they have them with free shipping for the $598.00 price. What is up with Amazon?

Yeah, I too started looking at the TV after seeing the consumer reports review. Was going to buy it at $900, but after seeing Amazon drop the listed price by $100 and increase their price by $60 I've decided to wait. (I wonder if the consumer reports review led to an increase in demand).Since then I've seen a review or two that listed the SD quality as the TV's greatest weakness, so I'm trying to figure out what the actual consensus is.

Mine was refurbished ($54). Regular price was $129.99. Mine came from MoneySavingDeals but was fulfilled by Amazon Prime. Amazon Prime is a special class of Amazon service with free 2 day shipping. $79 a year to belong. The 3rd party seller had a 30 day warranty on this item I believe but whenever your purchase is fulfilled by Amazon prime returns are a snap. Don't have to talk to anybody. Just print up the pre-paid return UPS label. I got mine April 2nd. It looks brand new and works perfectly. The ones on the Amazon site now are not from MoneySavingDeals, and have a delivery charge. I would wait for one on Amazon Prime if you are a member. Hope this helps. tommytomted

Now this thing is up to $1606? is everyone seeing this same price? Why in the world is the price rising like this in $50 chunks? It's like they are trying to make us buy the LNA46750 ($1630 or so). Makes no sense to me...there are apparently many TV buyers at the ready if Amazon wasn't jerking the price all over the place. If they don't get things straightened out shortly, I'll buy it over at Newegg. They're pretty reputable from what I understand, and the Newegg price of $1529 (free shipping) is looking better by the minute - though product appears to be on backorder or something over there. Patience will be a virtue here I guess. Now this thing is up to $1606? is everyone seeing this same price? Why in the world is the price rising like this in $50 chunks?

Eagle "lost" my TV and Amazon has since hiked up the price on the 4665. They're offering refund but not replacement, so I've effectively lost another $500. I'm taking my money elsewhere.

I was going to probably place my order tonight for this TV and now I see they jacked up the price 400 bucks. So much for that. Why does Amazon mess with the price so much? Rather annoying.

Greetings everyone. On 12/26/08 I placed and order with Electrozone for a Samsung LN46A550 for $1,188 including standard shipping, which was the best price I could find at the time, direct from Electrozone, not via Amazon. Since then, I've been watching this thread carefully for the same reason many others have been... As this saga was unfolding, I too had a "I'm feeling nervous" conversation with Lewis, whom I believe was pulled out of bed by my call to the toll-free number. :-o He assured me that everything was legit, and at my request sent a revised invoice that indicated "BRAND NEW", so that there would be absoultely no ambiguity with regard the the TV being new, not refurbished. On Sunday 1/4/09, I received an unexpected call from Icat Logistics to schedule the delivery day and time, and I selected today, 1/6/09. 11 days total (which is inside the 7-14 day window). This was a nice surprise, because I was told by Lewis that there would be no call, and that the initial delivery would be attempted "blind". At around noon today, after scrubbing the water and ice off my walkway with the box, the local delivery guy (Skip) helped me open the box, and inside I found a brand new, undamaged, and working TV (I tested it on the spot). My transaction was a total success, and although Electrozone's customer handling definitely has a "run out of a living room" feel to it, they held up their end of the bargain, and I'm 100% satisfied (modulo the soggy box). As an aside, I see that Craig lives not far from where I do, so it could very well be that his TV was on the same truck as mine. :-)

I am in this same boat. I am a HUGE amazon fan, and would Love to buy this TV... however, I don't want the BUZZ.... If I buy from Crutchfield or BestBuy, I know I can have them check it out before I have them ship it.

Amazon doesn't appear to have this TV anymore. $429 was when Amazon was selling it, now the price keeps fluctuating because other stores are selling it through Amazon. I am in the same boat as you and I am waiting to see if Amazon gets it back in stock so the price might be $429 again. Lets keep our fingers crossed...

I was contemplating picking up this tv for a few days. I was looking at it the night before the coupon came out. I had decided to wait a few more days but went to look at it again one more time on the website just after midnight pacific time and noticed the price had just jumped from 1999 to 2464. Luckily the other merchants that sell through amazon had not raised their prices yet and i was still able to get it for 1999. Woke up the next morning and almost cancelled my order thinking amazon lowered the price again due to the misleading email that i received about 6 in the morning. Good thing i stayed up late that night. I was contemplating picking up this tv for a few days. I was looking at it the night before the coupon came out.

Amazon is a reputable company. While you may not get a product in pristine condition, you can breathe a little easier knowing you won't get stuck with it. Buying refurbs or used stuff is sometime a crap shoot no matter who is selling it. But if you buy something like that from a company that won't stick it makes a big difference.My experience was a very positive one. I purchased a Panasonic P42S2 Plasma in "Used, Like New" condition. It arrived and I can't tell it from new. It works perfectly and has a magnificent picture.

I'd have to disagree with rebel 116 there. Not so much about the dwindling worth of the $ (although actually has been somewhat rising in the past couple of weeks), but about whether to wait or not. My advice would be to wait. I recently read a study report that says the prices of HDTV's, blu-ray players and the like will be dropping like a stone as the holidays get closer. And actually, I've already seen some of this price drop. I've been planning on buying the Sony BDP-s350 blu-ray player, since it's pretty much the highest rated VS price value BR player out right now. (I've been watching it at theNerds.com, sorry Amazon, but they have the cheapest price) The price has dropped almost $80 since I last checked it! (Now only $243) These trends are predicted to continue through the holidays into early next year, so I'd wait for that bonus and get one awesome TV and maybe have some $ left over in the bargain!

I only see the TH-42PZ8OU for $1100 at Sears - maybe it's different in the store itself.I went all out and got the 46' 1080p plasma for $1050 on Amazon last week. Now THAT was a good deal.

I just wanted to warn people. After I saw the post by "Internet Shopper" I did some quick background reasearch on basics4home (the person/company selling the TV for $1649). On Ebay the guy/company got a lot of negative comments recently - check this out http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid;=basics4home&ftab;=AllFeedback.So be warnwed - I would have been tempted - but the feedback about him being a potential scamster puts me off.
