Why no 50" LED from Samsung?

Traxan · 05-06-12, 11:29 AM

I'm contemplating a TV upgrade and am very happy with Samsung, but there's a hole in their LED lineup. They have 40, 46 and 55 inch sets. If I want 50, I have to go plasma. I'd like a 50" LED, thank you very much. So why the gap?

And on that note, how is Toshiba's 50" LED?

Go bigger! Get the 55"

That's too big for my place.

They make decent plasmas, too. 51".

An additional 4.4" of width and 2.4" of height?

That and price.

I, like you wanted to go from a 46" Samsung to a 50". I ended up with the 55" and am glad I got the bigger size. It was only 6" wider than the 46", so 3" on each side. The smaller frame/bezel also helped.

Well I just bought a new car so I'll have to live with the 40" for a few more years.
