New samsung A series...

[admin_exported]

hi everyone, just had a look at a list of the new samsung 40"s and i am very suprised as to how confusing they look... i mean i remember reading this when Samsung initially announced their new line-up:
Yes, it's ditched its current, confusing model numbers and replaced them with five new numbered series

and from this list i see: LE40A436T1DX, LE40A455C1DX, LE40A457C1DX, LE40A558P3FX, LE40A559P4FX and the LE40A656A1FX...

i mean how how are these less confusing than the old LE40R87BDX, N87, M87 and F86?
thanks :S

I know - they promised us simple model variations between 4-, 5-, 6-, 7- etc series, then the 'A' appears and all these different designations. Maddening.

We'll publish a translation as soon as our group of runic scholars have worked through the range...

Oh no, not again! Clare, Andrew and I have already spent too many hours on the Forums explaining the ins and outs of Samsung's bizarre model-numbering system on their last TV range. Just when we thought they'd got it sorted...

When you get the Plasmas and the LCD's mixed up and put in the wrong section of the buyers guide I'll be sure to let you know/ :O

Oi! One instance, explained and apologised for. Leave it!

i happened to notice that since February the PS50P96HDX has been under the LCD section in the buyers guide.. unless thats what you meant Duncan? :S

 

[Anonymous]

Yes it is - I pointed it out in the mag section and, as stated, that I got an apology from Clare Newsome. I was just being...lippy.

Which one will be the most direct replacement for the 46 inch F86?

6 series?

7 Series?

I think your Samsung new sets page is wrong as it says the 7 series in in 40, 42, 52 (not 46?)

I'm thinking of sending my F86 back under the 7 day return (it came with a broken stand). I was thinking of holding out for the 6 or 7 series 46 inch to replace it. I want to get something that is at least as good (i.e. in current terms, F series rather than M series).

Just wanted to know which was the comparable set?? Also, the width of the new 46 inch 6 and 7 series would be VERY useful as my F series was just a bit wide (M series about right),.

Cheers

They were all the sizes given by Samsung at the time - we're due an update from them any day now, so will of course bring you that ASAP, and will specifically ask for full specs if poss.

Thanks Clare.

I only have a few days to ask for a refund on my 46F86, so I'd really appreciate knowing if the 6 series is a direct replacement (looking at the specs)... or is the 7 series more of a match?

Not really sure if the M series is the 5 or 6 in the new, making the F series the 6 or the 7! I'd like something from the new range to be more F than M in quality....

Can anyone who understands the specs give me a guide here, please?! ASAP would help, as I have 3 days to make a decision (keep the F, buy a 6 series, or wait for the 7!)

EDIT:

New Spring 2008 LCD catalogue for Sammy models. It's in Slovak language, but the tables with parameters are understandable

Hi, i'm (hopefully) not hindering you but does this link lead to the new LCD models as well?

i looked through the link you gave and it looks like they only list their current models, being the R, N, M, F.

Ah, ok. Sorry :-(

Struggle with numbers I do.

Pointless are Samsungs model code changes, yes, hmm!

This is of acute interest to me. I want a 46" samsung but want to get the Series 7 since they have removed the infofeed RSS etc from the UK release of the Series 6 compared to the US version.

I can see the series 6 on websites from Curry's John Lewis etc already but not the Series .

Is there any indication of the release date for the Series 7?

Thanks
