Suggestion on this 46'' LCD TV

Thanks for your reply. I googled Samsung 8/9 series . They were all dropped out by Samsung so that you could only see 7 series is the highest model in Samsung offical website.

1. Samsung Model#: LN46A860--1080P,120HZ,50,000:1 Price: $999 (This 8 series LCD TV is this year's model, but I cannot find it on Samsung offical website. It looks like Samsung has dropped its 8 and 9 series LCD product lines, anyway)

2. Sony Bundle: Model# KDL-46V5100--1080P,120HZ,50,000:1 + Blu-ray player Model# BDP-S360 Price: $964

The 8 and 9 series is higher than the Sony V series.

Sony has series like S, V, W, going upwards.

AMAZED AND ASTOUNDED, June 18, 2009

I purchased this item last week. I researched my heart out and settled on this after reading tons of reviews. However, the reviews DO NOT do it justice. The picture is so clear and sharp that you can even see individual hair and beads of sweat. The sound is great as well. I also love the fact that you get 2 remote controls (one with all the bells and whistles to do everything but guide a missle, and another small simple one that is good for just turning the tv on/off,changing channels and volume). It is also extremely stylish and an unbelievable 1.9 " deep.
Even though I got it for a great price, it is more than worth the original retail price. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews

Consumer Reports "Best" march 2009, June 17, 2009
By Leo Williams (Cambria Heights, NY United States) - See all my reviews

You might be able to find the March 2009 issue of Consumer Reports at your local library reference area. They scored tvs based on size category of 52", 46", and 30". In the 46" LCD category the 850 model was scored as BEST out of all tested 46" LCD televisions!!!

The 850 model is basically the same as this 860 model. It is just the touch of color frame that is different. I bought this model because the blue is much better looking than the red.

The picture quality is A+++ EXCELLENT. Even when I was using regular cheap $10 rabbit ear antenna to pick up channels 2 to 13, the picture looked super sharp and super realistic.

I have an Xbox 360 elite, and a Panasonic BD60 blu-ray player. Both devices work perfectly with this tv, and blu-ray movies look incredibly amazing!!!

You will definitely want to get a blu-ray player with this television. You may be tempted to purchase the Samsung 3600 player, but I should warn you that it cost a lot more than the above mentioned Panasonic player. I personally recommend the Panasonic because I have not had any technical issues with it, and the picture looks just as great as more expensive models.

Also, as of May 2009 most stores started to stock the "B" models instead of the "A" models. The B models are NEWER and they have a full black color frame. So you may want to consider one of those B models instead of this A860. But if you do decide to purchase this A860, you will definitely be happy with it. I love the one that I have.
