I've been watching the Samsung TV prices since September. Previously the best price I saw on this was $1650 at Best Buy about a week before Christmas. Even though this TV is now in closeout the prices have been way higher than the Christmas time prices. This is a great price but Tigerdirect has some really bad reviews online. Do I dare order this?

I've been checking out this TV for a while and was deciding between this for a Sony Bravia, in person these are amazing and this is a 2011 model and should have the issue with the edged fixed.

I'm about to pull the trigger. Yes great price but TG is scary.

Edit - Gave in and ordered

Tiger may screw you on rebates or returns, and their prices aren't usually the best, but I've never had a problem with them in the past. I'd seriously consider this if it was the D8000 model at this price, but I think it may just be wiser to wait another year or two.

I feel like this is a really good deal on this TV -- can anyone confirm? Is there a big difference from the D8000 to the D7000? From amazon.com, all I can see is the 'Micro Dimming Plus' feature. Is there something I'm missing out on? I think this TV would look great in my new apt. Thanks!

this is a SD! i want to sell my 46" samsung LED for this one not sure how much will my 2yr old LED go for....this tv is just amazing

Can anyone elaborate on the differences between the 7000 and 8000 as far as pq? Been waiting for a 8000 deal but might bite on this.

I just found this:

Incredible Contrast with Micro Dimming Plus

See the difference with Micro Dimming Plus Technology Micro Dimming Plus is a feature that is unique to the Samsung LED 8000. TVs typically treat their light source as a single light even though there may be many bulbs making up that light. While most TVs can vary the brightness, they expose the whole scene to the same light.

As a result, a bright object in a dark scene (a candle in a dark room) is dimmed to make the room dark, or a dark object in a bright scene (an action hero silhouetted against an explosion) is grayer than it should be to make the scene bright. With the advent of LED TVs, this was no longer a limitation of TV. LED light sources can be placed behind the panel and used to light only a specific region. With many of these LEDs behind the panel, bright areas get the light they need and dark areas stay dark. This is a process commonly called “Local Dimming”. However, Local Dimming poses other problems: the TV must be thicker and more LEDs are needed making the set more expensive and less energy efficient.

Samsung has found a way to create the contrast improvements offered by Local Dimming without sacrificing the TVs depth, design, energy efficiency or price. This innovative technology is called Micro Dimming. It uses software to analyze the picture, break it up into many squares, and adjust the panel to account for darker and brighter areas. On the LED 8000, this is taken even further with Micro Dimming Plus.

In addition to the Micro Dimming software, the LED 8000’s Micro Dimming Plus features built-in hardware that allows for each of the LEDs lights to be automatically adjusted independently. If you are looking for elite picture quality in an ultra slim TV, Micro Dimming Plus in the LED 8000 ensures that the image is as close as possible to what the camera saw when the video or film was made.


And the bezels are also different and the contrast is different as well

I think they completely talked me out of buying this deal and waiting for the 8,000

without the 3D glass and player bundle, TV alone was 1300 I think earlier this week, might still be.

Are the glasses and the player worth 200?

Where was this tv brand new $1300?

Quote from yarnim : without the 3D glass and player bundle, TV alone was 1300 I think earlier this week, might still be. Are the glasses and the player worth 200?

D5500 BD player is not that great. I got one for free and I was able to sell it for $75.

I sold it because I have PS3 which has Bluray player too. The 3D glasses are 24 bucks each in best buy. You might get it for even lesser. So IMO it's not worth $200. I would say it's worth $100

This TV has pretty much everything. I have the same model but 46 inches.. I got 46D7000 + BD5500 + 2 3D glasses for $1250 in November 2011... It's a very good TV
