Difference between Samsung serires tv's?

Sep 28, 2008 1:43PM PDT

Can anyone tell me the difference between the Samsung Plasma tv series 5, 6 and 7. I'm looking to buy a Samsung PN50A550 plasma and was wondering why they have different series if they don't advertise differences in their own web site. The only thing I see is the red color frame that I don't really care for.

If they make it complicated then it's their loss. So why not just shop for other TV?

yah samsung web site kinda sucks on model details. They don't list stuff people want to know, like how many HDMI ports (& other ports), weight, power usage, speakers, calibartion settings & have no comparison boxs.
Sony web site is one of the better (best) sites for compairing models & they have very detailed specs.

So the only way to get the specs on the samsungs is to search each model on Cnet... if not found... google them... sucks
