I am looking to buy the Samsung 52" A650 tv, but would like to spend under $2000.


I know that the price should drop when Samsung anounces a newer line of tvs than the current 6 & 7 series.


Anybody know when this is going to happen?


Thanks

The new models, mostly LED, should be out around September/October and I doubt 52A650 will be under 2K before or after then.

Well, maybe the 46" A750 is around that budget, but I think that he's looking for the 52" version... Needless to say, you can't go wrong with the A750, since the price gap between the A650 and A750 is so small, it's almost worth it to step up. I would consider that...

As I reported, Samsung, Sharp and Mitsubishi dropped prices again on most of their large screen LCD flat panels this past week. You'll probably see the national retailers lower their prices this Sunday (tomorrow).

Yeah, because Big River is probably the only place that anyone can afford to go to for the high-end large screens anymore. Don't see much hope for brick and mortar anymore...

Yes you are right B&M stores like circuit city is having major problems:

Well if new sets are coming out in a few months I may wait till then. Not in any rush to get one.


From my eyes, I do think the 6 & 7 series are a substantial step up from the 5 series, so I will wait a little to see if I can get a better deal.

Oh yeah?. I'd be very careful to buy one at that price online from an obscure seller

Samsung website still shows 52A550 at 2400 list and 3000 for 52A650. Is the website not up-to-date?

 

[Gary Merson]

Samsung's website is NOT up to date. Often there is a lag between price changes and the company's respective websites. Best bet is to check Sunday's ads at BB and CC, they often have the price drop within days of the change (the set makers give them plenty of advanced notice).

I don't know what your definition of "obscure" is but Amazon has LN52A550 for $1825 shipped and Abe of Main has it for $1725 shipped.

Are you talking about 52A650 or 52A550? I thought chevydude26 was talking about getting Samsung LN52A650 for around 1900.


And just so you know, 52A550 was below the price you mentioned a few days ago.

Sorry, my mistake. I thought that you were referring to the LN52A750. No worries about the 550 from Amazon
