i bought mine through buy.com a couple years ago. i think them a front for corporate samsung. it was shipped airfreight fedex from CA to DC. i bought a 55" LED that is about 6-8" thick. it weighed around 100lbs in the crate. fedex did not wait while i uncrated it, which took at least 15 min.
samsung has a nice chart and retail prices here: http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/tv-video/televisions/led-tv/index.idx?pagetype=subtype i thought what i was buying was a LED-DLP. one of the reasons i bought the LED was the bulbs in the rest of the dlp's have less than a 1000 hr half life. that's not very long(1000hrs is 6 weeks). our led is still running after two years, and i would guess 3 days a week x 6 hrs on. we listen to the cable music. guess that be about 2000 hrs.
