The percentage of sales people that recommend Samsung HDTVs.
Salespeople are also becoming less likely to recommend LCD sets over plasma sets, which goes against the industry trend.

Nice Price....................
Great prices! I would like to buy 1299.99USD model, but I live in Japan and displays here are so expensive!

"LED-backlit". I thought they were edgelit and not backlit. Big difference!
I'm pretty sure these models are LED-backlit (this years models will have LED backlit)
have a question, I never see news about plasma tvs does it means that there are none?
Samsung did annouce some and you can find i think one or two new ones on the bb.com site...they are a dying breed, not a bad technology but its adoption rate has been rapidly declining probably becuase of the promotion of LCD's....consumers want "new tech" and say to the retail clerk "I want 120hz" not knowing that some Plasmas have 600hz but since thats not advertised as widely the consumer goes with the popular choice...
dont get me wrong though I like LCD's too, Im going to purchase a new 7 series when the show up in the 52inch size
Plasma is almost dead, so I wouldn't worry much: http://www.google.com/news?pz=1&ned=us&hl=en&q=plasma+TVs
wonder if it was a mistake, link doesn't work already
I just got the 46" 550 for 1k at Amazon. They'd have to really wow me with the new model to make me regret my purchase (well, it wasn't a purchase, it was a warranty replacement for an older, crappier 32" that was unrepairable). Samsung, Sony, and Panasonic have a pretty rough fight on their hands this year, since so many of the 08 models are still left over at most stores in the US, and the picture on all of them is already outstanding. I don't envy their position, which is essentially the same position as car dealers trying to sell higher margin 09's while the 08's sit on the lot gathering dust. This is absolutely a buyers market, and a lot of TV can be had for a relatively low cost.
I hope this baby lasts until the OLED's are out. I really think that we've hit the summit in terms of how good an LCD picture can look (and Plasma. Having seen the Kuro's, I don't know how you top them).

The Best Buy I work at got one of the 55" 7100 series last Saturday and it's already on display. It's amazing! Out of the box it appears a little bland but we aren't allowed to calibrate it (company policy so customers know what it will look like when they get it home). I bet with some tweaking the picture could be possibly the best out of all the TV's we sell.
