      Way cheaper than Best Buy will have for a long time. Never heard of this seller though.

      They have a store in Brooklyn and are quite friendly last time I went there.

      Abes of Maine is a reputable store. Never had a problem with them.

      One guy said that Abes of Maine is out of Brooklyn and a scam of a store with terrible service.

      I have the LN40B550 model for about a week, and have no complaints. The specs are better than the "A" series model, but I can't say that there is any noticeable performance difference. What may account for the lack of a price difference is that the "B" series have digital tuners; the "A" series had both analog and digital tuners. The release of the "B" series roughly coincides with the initial switchover date for digital only broadcasts.

      I checked out this TV at BestBuy over the weekend. It looks like Samsung has also added Touch of Color bevel to this new model, in additional to increasing the contrast ratio and adding another HDMI port.
