Have been watching this as well. Look at the ratings. I own one and its the best LCD on the market at the moment IMHO. The lowest price I have seen here at Amazon was $2940.00 USD a while back. Which is what I got it for. Since folks have been buying it, and the ratings continue to be 4.75+ stars, the price has been creeping up towards what the local BB and CC are charging for it ($3800+ in my area). I think once the 71 and 81 series hit the streets, this one will drop for sure. But until that time, this one is top dog, at least in my house. The picture maxed out in 1080P will just blow you away!!

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...

No. You can't. Somone on another board did a good job of explaining it:"The free version isn't available on any platform legally on any device that interfaces with a TV, as that content is meant to be streamed to a PC only (as per the agreements with the content providers). Hulu+ content does have those agreements."

They should honor whatever price you purchased it for during the pre-sell. They will not charge you until the unit ships. Latest rumors put this TV live this week....but....who knows. It will be worth the wait though.

I certainly agree with your views--I'll probably press the "Add to Cart" button with Amazon too :-). Have fun with your new TV!

Thanks Payton for shedding light on the rating "games" being played here.If its such a bad TV why is it selling for regular price at crutchfield, Circuit City and Bestbuy etc. Its an Amazon special, it will be $1649 aqain any second now..As with anythign you buy your bound to get a loemon here and there. This green and banding I have personaly not experienced and I own 2 in this series...So for all the "Experts" rating there first LCD tv ever and giving this series a bad name..stop offering your Beginners opinion, on a product in which you have no clue on.

It really does seem like a good Television well worth the price. Apparantly RCA was sold to the Chinese and they renamed her TCL and she supplies the theird world with working low power televisions and are now considering the 4K market lookng and under 1000 or maybe even 500 dollars for 4K displays. all 3 HDMI have audio and yes there is a headphone jack (?!)

Thanks! I've been looking at the TVs in stores and I really like this one. There is a Sony model that is one up from this one, but it costs about $500 more.

any cheap HDMI cable offered from Amazon will do. I bought this TV in early October (from Amazon) and also purchased 2 - $5 dollar cables (also from Amazon). You do NOT need the fancy HDMI cables that cost $100+. For a little reference, advice, see this site, (CNET). http://reviews.cnet.com/hdmi-guide/?tag=pm (i don't work for Cnet or Amazon or any of the vendors, i was in the exact same position as you, and made the mistake once of buying expensive cables. never again, there is no difference in the picture, and my bluray is connected to this tv via a $5 HDMI cable thats 12 feet long. Monster cables that long would run near $200, and it just is not worth the money)

comedy central may work, but hulu is a no-go. The browsing is pretty slow a leggy on this thing if you keep it stock.

I have the same TV and it can stream Amazon Video on Demand, Netflix and Hulu by itself. Once the TV is connected to the internet either by wired connection or the wifi adapter you only have to press the internet button on the remote. A menu will pop up on the bottom of the screen and you can pick the service you want to use. I've used mine for Amazon VOD and Netflix and it works great.

I think you will see more pop up on Amazon. Talk about funny. I just received a call from my tv salesperson (where I originally ordered the 630 and cancelled due to availability) and he said they were expecting an arrival of about 50 units of this model today and wondered if I had already ordered from Amazon! I told him sorry, I did but that might mean supply is opening up for one last push. Not sure where you are located, but in Michigan, Sears had the same tv in their weekend circular for $1099; no stock in our area but maybe in yours. Good luck

I just posted the same question - I was 1 week away from buying this TV (pay day) and suddenly it's only being sold by a 3rd party. Amazon DID begin carrying the item after your post (Oct 2007) but I wonder if this was the final runout :(

It's comparable in price with most other retailers -- +/- $30. If you have the option, like I did, to get it locally so it doesn't have to be shipped, that would be the best way to go. But, yes, price-wise Amazon is in the same range as other suppliers of this TV.
