SAMSUNG LE40A656 v LE40A686?

Options
Hi can anyone tell me the difference between the 2 Samsung LCD tv's listed?

I went to purchase the LE40A656 but it was sold out, the store tried to sell me the LE40A686 instead, telling me it was a newer version.It looks different around the edges (not so red). Its not listed on the samsung website though.
Any help would be appreciated.

  • They're probably the same model effectively but may be "exclusives" for different stores, ive worked for currys and comet and one would sell the 40le87 and one the 40le86, this is to stop price matching wars, if you were in an independant store or some other store other than the 2 mentioned this would be my best guess that they have somehow got hold of both models. From the models listed they would both be the 6 series, 100hz full 1080p, the difference would not be something major, just the casing design, like with the 86 and 87 one had a chrome finish under the main panel and one a blue.
  • I asked Samsung technical support about these 2 models yesterday. They said the differences are purely cosmetic. I would like to look at the LE40A686 but I have only found this model on internet sites. Do you know any retail outlets that sell them?

    I did buy the LE40A686 from RicherSounds for £799 (5 year warranty thrown in). Its a fantastic tv, the differences from the A656 are cosmetic & slightly better speakers. The edge isnt as red as much as the A656 either, which i prefer.
