Samsung 46" Class 1080p 120Hz Flat-Panel LCD HDTV

...

Same picture, slightly lower quality sound, better features and a better performing television. All-in-all you cant go wrong with either of these TVs.

until someone told me. Amazon.com has a 30-day post-order price guarantee. I purchased this tv for $2,074 and within 30 days it dropped down to $1,824. I saved $250 after I bought this tv!!! Amazon was very helpful and didn't mind at all that I emailed them every day the price dropped asking to refund the difference to my credit card. (you obviously have to contact them each time it drops, they won't do it automatically) Just make sure you buy it from Amazon.com and not one of the sellers they sometimes promote because they won't honor the guarantee.

You simply cannot go wrong with this TV. Go check it out for yourself at your local electronic store and come back home and order it from Amazon.com and save $$$.

it isn't practical due to lack of codec support.

The DLNA server software included with the TV is very, very slow. I mean it! It feels as if the software has to warm-up before it can perform the function, for example opening a folder takes about 7 seconds. The folder had no files. That's a pretty badly written software, you feel as you are beta-testing the software. You can use other DLNA software such as TwonkyMedia, which is MUCH faster, to fill in the bridge but you'll run into another issue: "This codec is not supported", which means, for those not too computer savvy, basically means I can't play this files with this type of compression (note: compression type is not the same as file extension.). Then reading the manual you will also noticed that each codec it supports has a maximum resolution of a certain size, else if the file movies exceed the resolution, it will spit out another error message: "Resolution is not supported". Hopefully down the road Samsung will issue a firmware to add more codec support (MKV, RM, OGM, FLAC, WMV, and many others currently not supported!) Another alternative is wait for DLNA server softwares to add support for this TV series using transcoders, similar to how TVersity re-encodes files the PS3 cannot read to codec formats the PS3 can read right before before streaming it into the PS3. However, USB built-in video support won't ever be practical without a firmware upgrade...

But, in the meantime, the feature isn't worth taking up valuable ports in my 4 port router. Hook up your computer to your TV if you have the option, as that is still the best way to get all your movies to play.

Despite all the negatives, I highly recommend this TV. This TV deserves all the praises it gets from all other reviewers; however, don't expect it to be much different from the 46A750 in regards to feature due to the limitations. If your decision on this set lies solely on the DLNA, pass on this and grab a 46A650 and save yourself the premium you are being charged for a broken feature. Do note this set has built-in woofers that the 46A650 does not have. The built-in woofer was adequate for my needs.
