It's also going to be starting at around $6,000. YIKES!!! |

Huskr84 Unregistered guest | You can get the 5685W for $4300 (onecall.com) to $5000 (tvauthority.com), not $6000! Local dealer in Omaha is selling for $4599 -- I ordered mine yesterday! With the HD2+ chip and 7-segment color wheel, it's definitely worth it (IMHO) |

I personally am trying to hold out until the 4674 comes out! hopefully before year end. If not, I'm going to go with the HLP 5063w |

Check out the shipping data in the article below last page on the right. http://www.samsungusa.com/SamsungUSA/PRODUCT/20040721/hlp5085.pdf |
