firefighter Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I am considering a new tv and am trying to find the largest one that will fit inside an entertainment cabinet. The max I can go on the cabinet is 40" wide. I found this tv at Sams Club for $1400, it has a 50" screen and the width is 39", so far this unit has the thinest frame that I have seen. Has any one owned this tv or know anything about it, or can anyone recommend an LCD, DLP, or plazma with similar measurements not to exceed $1800. Sams has one left within a 100 mile radius so if this Samsung is a good deal, I need to make a move soon. Thanks, Jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budman Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Jack, how can a 50 inch tv fit in a 39 inch space unless this is not a wide screen. i have a 44 inch lcd micro rear projection wide screen tv that is 41 inches wide. also i have a 52 inch and it is 50 wide. you would have to go with a 40 inch tv to fit in that space. recheck your measurements.

Champagne taste beer budget Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 The Samsung website calls out 39.3 inches width for that model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScorpsFan Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I have had the HLP4663WX, an older and smaller version for the past two years. It has had two minor color problems, (a freeze up on a single color, usually all red or all blue) for which Samsung has gladly responded service personnel and replaced a rather expensive computer box each time gratis. The picture is beautiful and I can't say enough for Samsung Customer Service. I purchased mine due to space issues also and found that Samsung's measurements were spot on. But just to be sure, I'd measure it myself before purchasing. Best of Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefighter Posted November 13, 2006 Author Share Posted November 13, 2006 I thought the same thing, how could a 50" tv fit in a 40" cabinet. The only problem is the closest tv is 2 hours away in Savannah GA. I was hoping someone here could confirm the measurements or comment on the quality of this particular unit. I have seen some of the members here have worked or do work at the retail A/V stores, maybe someone could shed some light on the subject.

Champagne taste beer budget Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 http://www.samsung.com/Products/TV/DLPTV/files/hls5065.pdf Pethagorum Therum: Squaring both legs of a right triangle and adding them together equals the square of the hypotanuse. (Go gentle on me you math majors.) (3x3) + (4x4) = (5x5) Imagine molding a yardstick on your desk, keeping one end stationary while raising the other end so it forms a slope. The length of the yardstick stays the same, but the length of it's shadow made from a light directly overhead gets shorter. As far as image quality, haven't seen one, couldn't tell ya.

Rsoxfan Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I say buy the biggest tv your room will permit, not your enertainment center.Entertainment centers are cheaper/easier to build than a bigger tv... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
